- Comment on Trump Says He Wants Alcatraz Restored as a Prison; The project would be extraordinarily expensive at a time when the administration already plans to cut billions of dollars from the Justice Department 2 days ago:
Has this reject ever been to Alcatraz?
It’s small and it’s just ancient concrete wasting away. He’d have to tear the entire thing (a historic landmark and museum) down and rebuild it. Then it wouldn’t be able to hold that many prisoners, because it’s a tiny fucking island. Then it would be expensive to maintain, because it has to be serviced by boat.
There’s a reason the fucking thing was shut down in the first place.
Just more word salad diarrhea coming out of this fucking loser’s mouth to distract us from all the shit he’s breaking.
- Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. 2 days ago:
Know what really hurts?
Running into foreigners in your own city who tell you about how they’re on a multi-week vacation to America and they’ll probably do it again to another country again next year. I’ve had that happen multiple times while out at bars in my city.
Meanwhile, I’ve barely crossed state lines in my entire adulthood because it’s hard to even get a 3-4 day extended weekend.
America sucks y’all.

Lol. This country just voted to move in the opposite direction of this. We voted for less worker rights. Less power for the average person.
At this point, we’ll need to start utilizing our 2nd amendment right if we want to get anything better than what we have. People died to give us the 40 hour work week. Looks like that’s going to have to happen again for any further improvements.
Smarter countries did it without the bloodshed. America isn’t that smart.

Everything I’ve seen for the last decade indicates it’s pretty easy and highly profitable.
- Comment on Ex-Congressman George Santos Is Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison in Federal Fraud Case 1 week ago:
Hey look, another Republican criminal.
Adding to the list of convicted Republican criminals that is much, much longer than the list of convicted Democrat criminals.
But that’s ok, because if you’re a convicted felon with an “R” next to your name, you can be president.

Growing up in the 80s, Bert and Ernie were the most realistically stable television couple. They argued but loved each other, no question about it.
That’s some real shit.

- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
I’d take that chance.
He’s a cult leader. Cults tend to collapse after the cult leader dies. It was so close to the election I don’t think there would have been enough support for another Republican to win in the chaos that would have ensued within the Republican party.
It almost certainly would have resulted in a better future.
Kid shouldn’t have aimed for the head. Harder to hit and nothing there anyway.

- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 month ago:
As someone who became an adult before social media was a thing, it has absolutely been a detriment to society.
There’s great aspects to it and I utilize them. But as a whole, it has FUUUUCKED us up in a very significant way.
There is a direct correlation between the rise of social media and the absolute nosedive our political discourse has taken. Misinformation is SO much more prevalent now. And that rise in misinformation is definitely having real world effects.

Gotta love it when a bunch of 4-chan troll man-children are systematically destroying the United States of America.
Gotta love it even more when you realize a significant portion of the country identifies with 4-chan troll man-children and throws their support behind them.

Your mom sounds like kind of an asshole. She was alienated from liberalism because she was tired of hearing about a minority being targeted by a fascist party for existing?
That’s some asshole behavior.

I’m excited about the part where they AREN’T FUCKING FASCISTS.
I’m completely numb to anything they say negatively about Trump.
Then Trump has beaten you through attrition, which was his goal.

We’ve never elected a felon rapist who attempted to overthrow our government.
So clearly something has changed.

Boomers aren’t responsible for all our woes, but they absolutely have pulled up the ladder. That’s not debatable. Voting records prove it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Saying that boomers hold all the wealth is not correct
They don’t hold ALL the wealth, but they do hold the most. And that allows them to contribute more to political campaigns and have an outsized effect on legislation.

Are we more stupid than we used to be? Yeah. But I’d use the word ignorant instead. It’s a bit more accurate. Ignorance is chosen, and that’s what our current epidemic of stupidity is. Chosen.
There have always been a lot of ignorant people, but now, with social media, those people have platforms to infect others with their ignorance. Also, in my own lifetime, I’ve witnessed a shift from ignorant people still being able to set aside partisan politics to condemn obviously bad actors or decisions to 100% doubling down on partisan politics no matter how bad the person or action is.
I’ve definitely FELT this increase in willful ignorance over the course of my life living in this country. People in my own life choosing to believe things they absolutely would not have believed a couple decades ago. People not understanding super basic concepts.
I think there are other factors than just bad actors spreading ignorance on social media. I think a lot of it has to do with simple distractions. The modern world has so many. A lot of the people I know don’t even read books. Like, they simply don’t read. If I ask them what book they read last they have to concentrate because it was multiple years ago. That’s fucking crazy. Instead of picking up a book they’re watching Real Wives of Whatever. Getting involved in some wealthy person’s 1st world problems, instead of, you know, learning something.
We’re entering an age of concentrated ignorance and, unfortunately, that’s very unlikely to end anytime soon. And the stakes are higher than ever for something like that to happen because we possess greater power to decimate this planet than we used to. Through pollution or braindead child-like politicians who can wage war or launch nukes.
It takes a lot less effort to allow things to keep going the way they are than it does to turn things around and responsibly educate the masses. So we’re probably going to continue spiraling.
Things are going to get dark. Our quality of life will decline.

She’s never going to be able to wash the stink off though.

Loved the original Painkiller. The battlefield frozen in time was cutting edge stuff to see in a video game back then.
Hopefully this is released on PC too.
