I get that. I used to follow (not believe) conspiracy theories because it’s so fantastical that I read them as like, life fanfic.
But these people don’t share my type of interest in it. They’re more like Christians pushing their beliefs.
The reality is that we’re all just human. None better than the rest. But the thing is no individual or even group can say they 100% now how the full functions of the economic machine we’ve built even work. Let alone geopolitics or the myriad of other functions of the global society. We’re all on a ship with no captain or crew, and while we try to get the smartest people in the right positions to figure it out and get us moving the right direction, it doesn’t always work when we succeed and definitely not when we fail.

Well that’s out of the question. We don’t have nearly that much time left as a society capable of making such grandiose things happen.
- Comment on DJI’s new drone speaker lets cops yell at you from the sky 1 day ago:
I mean, this has been a trope in movies for so long that we all knew in the back of our heads that this day was coming.

Suits would crush Brooklyn 99 if they didn’t have so many long, drawn out shots of dramatic looks.

Reading that headline gave me IBS.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 days ago:
Spelling? I’m not worried about spelling when it’s been acceptable to murder grammar in public for 20 years.

Sure the cult does, but the dictatorship the left doesn’t fizzle out.
- Comment on Minecraft movie spawns ‘annoying’ cinema trend that viewers claim ‘ruins’ the film 1 week ago:
No it absolutely is not. The Mario movie was done with love for the game. This was written buy a guy who’s only understanding of the game is a 30 minute conversation with his enthusiastic nephew. I have never once left a theater feeling more “meh” in my life.
- Comment on Minecraft movie spawns ‘annoying’ cinema trend that viewers claim ‘ruins’ the film 1 week ago:
Really? I don’t get it. I chuckled a couple times at Momoa, but otherwise it felt like listening to a kid describe the game for 2 hrs. Like “HEY HEY HEY! We got Jack black to do his shtick to hide the fact that we didn’t use any writers!”

Good. Between the matrix and joker, both have been useful for the far right to recruit.
- Comment on Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k? 2 weeks ago:
Buy the dip now, sure. But this isn’t the dip, it’s a Continental shelf and you’re about to lose a fuck ton of money.
- Comment on Why did/do sites such as the pyramids in Egypt or the Roman colosseum end up in an abandoned state, only to be "rediscovered" later? 3 weeks ago:
My guess would be that as people lost their homes, they started to inhabit places like that like the homeless founder bridges and such these days. Well, not the pyramids so much, but the colloseum definitely. It likely then became dangerous to be in that area. So they kept the structure up the best they could but weren’t worried about part that didn’t provide cover from weather.
- Comment on Russia strongly condemns Israeli attacks on Gaza 3 weeks ago:
I seriously don’t understand the timeline we’re in. Everything has become so random.
My mind simply can’t deal with Russia saying that Israel is wrong for an invasion/genocide.
I’m old enough that I knew literally nothing about Trump’s politics during the apprentice and hated him immediately. That shitbag is the president. “We” want to bomb Mexico and invade Canada and Greenland. “We” are closer aligned to Russia than Europe. Russia is aligned with China, but we hate China?
Tariffs, no tariffs, then tariffs+, then they pulled that and switched it to tariffs premium, and I’m just waiting for that app to get pulled for tariffs max, or tariffsgo.
We put an important person to head this agency, then gutted the agency!
You’re fired! You’re hired back! We didn’t understand what you do! Oh wait, you’re fired again.
Fucking bald eagles is now legal?
Please, just give me some stability. Honestly, at this point, we know we’re living in a dictatorship. Turkey or Hungary style sounds really good at this point, just stop changing directions! My asshole is too sore.

- Comment on Get Your Coconuts Ready: Monty Python and the Holy Grail Is Returning to Theaters 1 month ago:
True, like they write the jokes before they write the plot. It’s why kids comedies feel so forced, because they are limited with what they can do, both with regards to appropriateness, and knowledge/intelligence of the audience.

I go to IHOP and slip a cook $5 just to open the back door and let me take nose hits.

- Comment on I'm suppose to believe I now live in a world where a Democrats can become president agoant and put George Soros at the head of DOGE? 2 months ago:
I read it more as a lovers thing, like melonia, without the m. And trump and Elon as lovers seems about right, but it’s one of those scary trailer relationships. Like, who’s addiction will make who kill the other first? It would truly be some of the sickest dark fiction on HBO. Sadly it’s on bbc, ap, NYT, WSJ, etc. etc.
- Comment on imagine 2 months ago:
Most hybrids do not produce fertile seeds. You can test it out if you want but it doesn’t work. I used to work for a seed company. Beyond that, without fertilizer the soil itself is dead in the vast majority of farming land.
- Comment on imagine 2 months ago:
Yeah, except the vast majority of seeds are infertile, meaning they can’t be replanted, means the “good ol boys” can’t survive.
