To each his own, I guess.
To quote the meme, I like this one better.

More blither-blather.
You’ve gone from saying “If you want to fight, you have to be prepared to lose,” tp saying “Violence was always inevitable.”
I guess you can always win an argument if you get to change your terms from minute to minute.
It was mildly amusing, but I’m done watching you chase your own tail.

All stories are stupid.
It’s the writers’ job to make them interesting.
A lot of the most popular heroes are rich. Heck, Richie Rich comics were a thing for decades.

Your words.
You are the one with the idea that it has to be a fight.
Like I said, it’s better to compromise and take small victories instead of push for a heroic resolution.
And, unless you feel like answering the question I posed* before, don’t bother to answer.
*I asked why we should do as Frederick Douglas did, supporting imperfect candidates who might be persuaded in the future, over ‘perfect’ candidates with no chance of winning?

I don’t think it’s about the age as much as it’s about being in absolute control.
Look at Stormy Daniels. He knew he could coerce her into sex because she wanted to be on his show.
He’d rather have a 40 year old he could torture than a 15 year old who’d fight back.

You inspired me to do a search I’ve considered before.
Ivanka Trump is 44 years old and Melania is 55.
I was surprised, and thought that they were much closer

So, apparently you don’t care how many people suffer and die so you can claim a moral victory.
If that’s not the voice of privilege I don’t know what it.
And I don’t want to fight. I’d much rather find an acceptable compromise and be able to make gains afterwards [like Frederick Douglas did when he backed Lincoln over the Abolition candidate.]
If you feel the need to be a martyr, go ahead. Don’t drag other people down with you.
- Comment on Anyone know where I can buy or get books by the pound to start a new library for our local jail. To help them read and prep them for a GED? 1 day ago:
Contact larger libraries.
I live in NYC and the public libraries here literally throw away tons of books every year. The big city libraries and colleges in your area probably do the same.
- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 1 day ago:
Again, you ignore the actual facts.
Maybe you live in a world of privilege where things like schools, roads, hospitals, and wars are merely theoretical. We who actually have to deal with those things know differently.
Nowhere do you link to a 3rd Party that has any realistic chance of making any change anytime soon.
Quick historical note. Look up a fellow named Frederick Douglas. He was a former slave. In 1860 he had the choice of supporting a full on pro-Abolition candidate who had almost no chance of winning or supporting a candidate who had stated he wasn’t prepared to end slavery.
Douglas figured it made more sense to support a winner and have a foot in the door. He abandoned the Abolition candidate and backed the winner instead.
So, when you reply, please explain why people shouldn’t follow Douglas’s lead and back the imperfect candidate who might win over the ‘pure’ candidate who is sure to lose.

All that effort to show that you can’t tell the difference between ‘bad’ and completely horrible.’
You can babble on and on, but you can’t actually show one time that a strong third party candidate didn’t help the GOP.
- Comment on Quality TV 1 day ago:
No, you don’t.
A couple of days ago I heard about a dead whale that washed up on an Oregon beach. They couldn’t figure out how to remove it, so they decided to use dynamite to blow it up. I went online and found the news story, thinking it would be really cool.
It was way more fun to imagine it, and just disappointing to see.
Actually observing really stupid people in real life is never as much fun as movies make you believe.
- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 2 days ago:
Please show me one time in the past 50 years that a third party candidate in the US helped the Left win an election.
The GOP constantly funds and pushes for the Greens and Libertarians because they know those candidates sap the Dems.
- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 2 days ago:
There are plenty of rich addicts. Charlie Sheen and Whitney Houston spring to mind. Anna Nicole Smith was a literal billionaire.
“Tough love” is also a real thing. Families throw addicts out all the time. the idea is that if things get bad enough the addict will “hit bottom” and seek help.
The idea of a dealer killing a customer is the part that makes little sense. The dealer wouldn’t give an addict drugs without cash up front. Dealers know exactly how unreliable addicts are.
How about the addict tries to steal from the dealer and the dealer kills them in self defense?
You might want to look up the case of Carrol O’Connor. Famous actor, his son died after an overdose. O’Connor called the son’s dealer a murderer and the dealer tried to sue him for defamation of character.

I remember reading an interview with Cindy Crawford. She said that one time she did an ad with her and another model. Both were in lingerie. Cindy told one of the execs that it looked like they were a couple. Exec said that no one would assume they were lovers, just two gals hanging around.
Later she was talking to the same guy. He told her that they’d had to cancel an ad they’d shot because it was too suggestive. It was two men, fully clothed.
One was pouring the other coffee.

NYC EMS story.
Cab driver gets in a fender bender with a 911 ambulance.
After arguing with the crew and supervisor he decides he has neck and back pain and he must go to the hospital.
A second ambulance is dispatched and, following protocol, fully immobilizes him and takes him to the hospital.
En route the cabbie complains about how slow the ambulance is going.
“Everyone else is like you, none of them get out of the way.”

The difference between naked and nude is that nude just means you aren’t wearing clothes, but naked implies that there’s a plan involved.

- Comment on People who grew up with Vietnam and the Cold War, is Iran going to be the new vietnam or just a semi cool war? 1 week ago:
Vietnam is considered part of the greater ‘Cold War.’ Soviet pilots flew for the North Vietnamese Air Force.
Angola’s long civil war was another bloody proxy war.

- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 1 week ago:
Also, what “multiple genocides” are you referring to?
I was going to make some sort of sarcastic reply, but I’ll just let your question speak for itself.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 1 week ago:
Yes, because your point was that there’s no difference between one genocide in Gaza and multiple genocides all over the world.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 1 week ago:
. Continuing to vote blue no matter who makes everything worse.
Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House in 1976. Every Dem candidate since Jimmy has been close to him politically.
Back in 1976 people were being told not to vote for Carter because he wasn’t strongly against the racist South African regime.
People like that were wrong then and you’re wrong now. “Not perfect” is much better than “truly evil.”
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 1 week ago:
So, no difference between one genocide and WW3?
