Exactly, you still be a racist, homophonic, xenophobic, whatever phobic idiot and still be funny. That doesn’t mean your beliefs or perspective is legitimate or agreeable, it just makes you funny.
One of my wife’s old aunts was one of the funniest ladies I knew … wild sense of humor and she could make anyone laugh. But she was a complete conservative and racist.
She had the Irish kind of humor where she could literally make insults at you and about you or someone else and still make you laugh.

Invite Clark Kent to an interview with a Senior General in a small village in the Nevada desert. Clark arrives to an empty village full of plastic mannequins. The whole village disappears in a flash of light.
Clark arrives back to the CIA office the next day with excuses that he couldn’t make it to the interview.

Just use full long tooth picks to keep the cheese on. Leave the picks sticking out long enough for you to find them and remove them after.

My favorite is an old clock I got from an old cottage I was renovating. I broke the glass on it but it still worked so I propped it up on the wall to help me keep time. I worked for months with that clock on the wall, never changed the battery and just thought, I’ll keep it until the battery dies … I thought it was just some old cheap thing that wouldn’t last.
I renovated for two years and the clock kept ticking, I grew to appreciate Anne decided to keep it. It survived I don’t know how many -40, -50 degree winters frozen solid and it still kept time. In the spring I think I adjusted it for a ten or fifteen minute correction (allowing for daylight saving time).
I finished renos and now the clock is in the living room and I’ll never get rid of it, it’s part of the building now as far as I’m concerned.
20 years later and the clock is still there and I’ve only changed the batteries twice, maybe three times. I changed the batteries so few times, I can’t remember the last time I did.

Does this mean that there is some reclusive Vietnam veteran with mystical powers meeting some geeky young kid in a run down trailer park in the deserts of Arizona and they’ll pair up with a truck driving privateer and his huge overly hairy former wrestling superstar that mumbles a lot, in their 18 wheeled highway tractor trailer they call the Centennial Turkey.

Most definitely involves luck in many cases. My wife currently has pulmonary fibrosis, a life shortening disease that basically slowly erodes your lungs. We did our best to take care of ourselves, good food, not too much, not too little, vitamins, health conscience, exercise, keeping active, healthy mind, staying active, staying connected … and neither being too excessive or obsessive of taking care of ourselves either.
We have a doctor friend of ours who told us … it was just luck … we caught a bad flu a few years ago, just before the pandemic. I got over it, she never did and still hasn’t. She is healthy as anything otherwise but her lungs will give out in a year maybe two, possibly three but the end is coming and its horrible to think about.
We did everything right, we just didn’t get lucky.

My grandma on my mom’s side lived to be 85 but she had a bit of dementia at the end.
My grandpa on my dad’s side lived to be 85 too and his mind was great but his body wasn’t.
But every time I hear stories of people who lived long lives, you have to compare that to the number of people they outlived or those people from their generation who didn’t make it.
For every 99 year old, there were hundreds or even thousands that didn’t make it to that age. It’s really a very lucky thing to live that long … and even more like winning a lottery to live that long and have a bit of health and be in your right mind.

Yeah, I keep reminding people, especially young people about this.
What’s the use of living until you’re 70 if you spend the last ten years of life living in a body that is half dead?
I know one guy who worked in heavy industry retire at 65 and decided to just smoke, drink booze and eat junk on his couch for his retirement. He loved it for about two years. Then he had heart attack, diabetes, and early signs of dementia. He lingered for 8 more years living a miserable life before he died a slow death in hospice for about a year.
One my of neighbours is 80 years old and still at home … but for the past ten years, he’s been battling cancer, heart problems and almost semi regular infections of some kind. His entire life is just pain every day. He keeps ending up in the hospital for something … only to return a week or two later after having survived. He is just miserable all the time and the only way anyone can see him coming out of all this is to die.
I have another old friend who is 70, great heart, good weight, good bodily health … but she has Alzheimers … and she’s had signs of it for the past ten years. She’ll live for a while but what kind of life is it to not have your memory for the last ten years of your life?
Take care of yourself as much as possible now while you are young. Sure some of this is just genetics or luck but I’d rather try my best to have a decent quality of life later on than do things to guarantee I’ll be miserable at the end of my life.

Nationalism is nationalism and it all depends on the culture and race group
White Caucasians want a white nationalist state
Blacks want a black nationalist state
I’m Indigenous Canadian and I know a few extremely minded Native people who believe in a Red Nationalist State … I’ve known a few that if they saw a white guy on their home reserve, they’d beat up the white guy just because they were white.
It’s a human emotion … we like to be part of an ‘in’ group … and we want our ‘in’ group to be the one in control and hold power over all the other groups.
Any fascist state no matter the culture or identity is a fascist state that no one should ever tolerate

- Comment on Banana 1 week ago:
If you live in a northern climate, you have to rely on a very complicated and expensive delivery system that will supply you with this fruit that can only be grown in the tropics. And the only way to keep it economical is to create an economy where food prices are artificially kept low because first world countries systematically suppress developing countries that grow bananas into becoming stable economies that would actually provide better wages for farmers and workers who would raise the price of bananas.
We have cheap bananas because we don’t mind living in a world where we abuse farmers and workers to work for pennies to supply us in the first world with cheap bananas.
