Want to hear another one that isn’t Texan, I think it’s just me?
When someone is hurrying me or being impatient I’ll say
“Chill Vladimir, don’t be Russian”

That’s the original phrase yes.

this reminds me of one of my “cowboy phrases”
Im from Texas but I live somewhere else now. My employees laugh at some things I thought were common phrases.
Anyway …
Person: I wish/wanted/hoped (blank)
Me: yeah, and I wish frogs had wings so they didn’t have to bump their ass on the ground when they hopped. Life is full of little disappointments.

Just so you don’t feel alone… ive downloaded a few AI girlfriend apps, not for lewd stuff, just to complain about work or my ex-wife in a safe place that won’t leak out and cause problems. I always delete them because they suck. After a couple sentences they respond “let’s change the subject don’t you want to see my new sexy outfit behind this paywall? Wink”
No… I want to continue to talk about the thing I chose to talk about. That’s why I was talking about it. I’m not paying 29.95 a month for a bot that tells me to quit talking. If I wanted to talk to someone who doesn’t listen to me at all and only wants to send me pictures of themselves wearing skimpy bikinis id talk to my father!!!
(The father part was a joke…my dad died but he would’ve found that joke hilarious)

The other day I fell asleep watching YouTube. I woke up to a 2 hour long ad of a religious ted style talk. As I’m grabbing my phone to turn it off it started playing an ad… IN THE AD! ADCEPTION!
That blew my mind. even ads have ads now.

- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 5 weeks ago:
It is deeper than “never a loser”
I’ve always tried to admit I was wrong as soon as I realized it. Admitting your wrong gets you massive amounts of respect in life. Honestly I’d say admitting a mistake gets you more respect than actually being right in the first place.
It might be a little late in the game for trump to get “more respect” than never going with trump at all… I’m just speaking in general. People respond very very well to “I messed up, I know that now”

My thoughts exactly. The acoustics are amazing and the rent is free.

Marvelous. The acoustics of this void are perfect. I’m going to be here a while. You can stay if you want but don’t be critical. I’m still learning and practicing.

Ehhhhh. I get why. But no.
My grandfather never once spoke about the war. His joke in the nursing home was funny . That joke was still different than this joke.
He didn’t say he’d enjoy it, he didn’t say he was okay with it. He said he can do and he’s done it before.
I wasn’t in WW2 obviously. I will.comoare it to growing up on a farm. I had to kill starving stray dogs people dropped off in the country side.
I can do it. I can kill a dog. I have killed plenty of dogs. I don’t enjoy killing dogs, I’m okay with killing dogs. I can do it.
My grandfather could kill people. Those people I assume were mostly Nazis during the war. He never mentioned random roadside murders. He could kill Nazis. He had killed Nazis before. He didn’t say he was okay with killing Nazis. You shouldn’t be okay taking a life even if it had to be done.
I was doing the starving dogs a favor… I was never okay with it tho. It should never be fun to take a life, even if you have to. It should never be okay.

We had to pull my grandfather from the nursing home (God rest him. Left is at 104)
We had to pull him because he kept telling the younger residents “I killed the Nazis once I can kill you again”
Hell of a man. Side note he’s also part of the reason rabies isn’t a big thing in America. He was a chemist for the board of health. Helped to deploy a vaccine that could be put into bait for wild animals to eat.
Another side not: my dad was a trump supporter, my grandad was too old to go vote. My dad used his vote to vote democrat on his behalf . Purely out of respect for my mother’s dad.
Hell of a man.
- Comment on Anon remembers kindergarten 2 months ago:
I had a childhood friend but I never understood what happened until I was an adult.
We lived in the country about half a mile to a mile away from each other. We hung out all the time. Then she stopped walking to my house but I kept walking to hers.
She went bald and I didn’t think much of it. Soon after that her parents told me she couldn’t come out and play when I walked over. I eventually stopped walking over and her family moved.
I don’t know if she died or not but I remember not understanding why her parents didn’t want her to play with me anymore.

- Comment on Just because you're a slob at home do you have to be an inconsiderate slob in public 3 months ago:
Go frolic in the woods then. We live in a society, you’re freedom and happiness cannot infringe on mine.
I have read the other comments now and I will admit at second glance those feet look pretty clean and I don’t see any fungus or anything to be concerned about.
However my view hasn’t changed. As a society we have to have a line that is fair, simple, definable, and defendable.
That line is “keep your shoes on in public”. Once we start saying “her feet are probably cleaner than her shoes… And the bus seat is probably more dirty than her feet already” … I do understand that point and I would agree if there were nothing else to consider.
It makes the line ambiguous. It jeopardizes the simplicity and enforceability of a rule we as a society put in place for a real reason to solve an actual problem that has a real benefit for all of us.
Those feet look clean, I agree. So when are feet not clean enough? Is there a chart, honer system, or complaint regulated? My feet are clean but I have thick yellow callouses because of my unnatural gait caused by my foot pain. It’s not contagious but might look like a fungus… Can I put my bare feet on a park picnic table? I mean people eat off Park tables but they are outdoors and exposed to alot worse, people should be using plastic table cloth anyway… I am I allowed to put my bare feet on a park table?
If some with Hep C is barefoot in a flea market that has a sign saying shoes are required, with very clean feet… But someone broke a novelty glass bong shaped like frog and didn’t report it because they were worried they’d have to pay for it. The broken bong got cleaned up but not before a shard got accidentally kicked into the exit near the food truck parking. The barefoot customer with hep c cuts their foot and naturally lift it to put pressure on the wound and a drop of blood gets on a childs hotdog. The child doesn’t notice that because their braces have been irritating their lips and they were more concerned about that. The child contracts hep C.
Who’s responsible? The barefoot customer? The clumsy customer? The bong vendor? The owner of the flea market? The food truck? The distracted child? The dentist who didn’t provide wax for irritation?
Yes I know I’m overthinking it but that’s exactly my point. As a society we need to have clear, simple, defined, enforceable rules. Once you start adding “well her feet are clean” you obscure that line.
Keep your shoes on in public. That’s the very simple line we’ve all agreed apon.
- Comment on Performative Perp Walk 3 months ago:
That’s what bothers me. The government is like ‘the memes about him aren’t true, he’s nothing special. It’s just murder’
Then they turn around and prosecute saying ‘this isn’t just murder! Look at all the memes! This needs to be enforced like the special event it is’
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. The judicial branch has been downplaying it as a simple murder. One man mad at another man. Nothing more. Cool. Then prosecute it as such.
The inconsistent words jeopardize the faith in the system. Neo Nazi lunches a man to prove a point to an entire race that they are not safe… Murder, not terrorism.
Guy kills a CEO over his personal issues with treatment with no master plan or manifesto? That’s a terrorist?
The public needs consistency or we lose trust in the system.

I’ve never understood this. I have a condition with my feet that means i pretty much walk on bruises everday of my life. In medieval days they flogged people’s feet to torture them with a condition I deal with every day.
There are days I take off my shoes and sob.
I would never do that. I keep my shoes on in public.
The bottom of this person’s feet are not purple like mine are. What’s their excuse? Put your shoes back on.
- Comment on Is there a theoretical limit to profit? 3 months ago:
That is probably correct to the phrasing of the question but I don’t think it’s correct to the spirit of the question .
If I have a billion dollars and everyone else has one dollar, I am powerful.
Time moves forward, inflation, whatever.
I have 2 billion dollars now and everyone else has 2 dollars.
Nothing has substantially changed in that scenario.
But even if we only allow me to grow:
Again I have 2 billion dollars now and everyone else still has 1 dollar.
Nothing has substantially changed.
That’s my disagreement. There is a limit. Diminished returns.
The difference between a one bathroom house and a 2 bathroom house is huge. The difference between a 20 bathroom house and a 21 bathroom house is basically meaningless.
- Comment on Biden will leave office as the 'worst president' in modern memory 3 months ago:
I think my short joke didn’t adequately explain things properly.
I’m nearly 40. I’ve voted exactly twice. Both times I voted against Trump.
I’ve never liked a single politician. I can’t think of a single one I feel did more good then harm. Other than exactly 2 times I never looked at an election and thought “one candidate is ‘lesser evil’ enough to matter. Different enough for me to take time out of my busy day to actually make a choice.” I’ve only seen 2 elections that made me think “if I don’t vote my life would be impacted more than taking a day off work”
I wouldn’t storm the capital for Biden. I wouldn’t do shit for Biden. I would and did put effort into “not trump”
I’m not going to storm the capital for “not trump” any time soon but depending on how things go later… It’s still too early to say for sure.

For breast cancer color - did you know pink used to be a boys color and blue girls? I see no reason the color couldn’t stay pink
I did know that interesting fact. Funny story that’s loosely related is my family talked me out of naming my son Ashley. Ashley is originally a boys name.
Another fascinating thing is that pink wasn’t the original color for breast cancer charity or spreading information at all. I can’t remember the original color but companies didn’t want to pay to actually help anything at all, they also didn’t want to actually put effort in to explaining anything or educating anyone… so they switched to “awareness” and picked pink because it wasn’t trademarked or owned
Basically they wanted to look like they cared but wanted to do absolutely nothing. So… Pink ribbon with the tag of “aware” We helped make you aware that this is a thing that happens. That’s free and easy.
