Jesus christ. Tax wealth! Holy hell our gov’t is shit.

I was in my teens, I think, the first time a friend said they liked black licorice. I really thought they were kidding, just blew my mind. I mean, if you like something, you like it, can’t really argue with that. Still.

Focus on the outside paint so that the rotten foundation never gets fixed, yet expect the edifice to continue to stand.

I went from a 1200 baud to a 28.8. It was like driving a supercar at the time.

A lot of us still use IRC.

This is the only true path to AI sentience and clanker payback.

Here’s a non-paywalled link.

I’ve never thought the Republican policies, in general, were better than the Dem policies. But I have, on occasion voted for the Republican in elections (local or state) when I thought that person was a better candidate. Those days are decades behind me now. I’ll vote Dem, or leave it blank if I really don’t agree with the candidate, but I can’t imagine voting for anyone connected with that traitor party ever again.

I’m not a Biden fan, but I’d like to point out:

• Inflation was lower when Biden left, than what he inherited from Mango Mussolini
• All three stock market indexes set records under Biden
• Violent crime, property crime, and the murder rate dropped under Biden
• Unemployment averaged 4.1%, below historical average

Now, you can nit pick these numbers, say how they aren’t representative of real people’s lives, or the median people’s lives and I’m not going to argue with you. Or you can point out the bad. But given these actual stats, Americans decided that nothing was better and trump would make things better. An insurrectionist, a liar, a sexual predator, a convicted felon, a racist, a narcissist, and on and on, was elected president. Again, after the train wreck of his first term.

tldr: American’s are stupid and their (our) opinions are trash. How many times will we see people bitching about trump, but then saying they’d vote for him again, or that there is no way they could vote for the other team?

Back to fucking Reagan once again. Just a reminder, stock buybacks were illegal because they were seen as clear stock manipulation. Reagan changed that in 1982. Thanks again, you fucking trickle down mother fucker.

Congressional hearings are supposed to be important. I really wish we lived with a working gov’t and could censure representatives that straight up lie about shit.

I know, freedom of speech and whatnot, but it’s amazing what these ass-backward morons will spout as fact, and worse, use to justify their horrendous policies. Seems like they should at least have to attend some basic “facts of reality” class before returning to work. At a minimum.

She looks like they stole her from Madame Tussauds.

It’s so wild that people are so anti-science they’d go to this type of weirdo rally. Fulfilling a need to reinforce fairy-dust belief over the rational world. On second thought, maybe it’s not that wild.

Yep, the pain will never force them to look in the mirror. Or if they do, it’ll be a magic mirror that shows them Biden, or Obama, or Clinton, or Carter, or DEI, or Transpeople, or Immigrants, and so it goes.

House centipedes are creepy looking things, but they are nocturnal so you don’t really seem them while they’re going about their job of taking out the other creepy crawlies.

It’s such a weird argument. “They’ll leave if you tax 'em!” OK, let’s say that’s true. Good riddance, what’s the downside? And seeing over and over that it’s not true, what’s the downside?

For the last, uh, well for most of my life, gas prices rise and rise. Grumbling about it rise and rise until finally Congress says they’re going to look into it. And then prices drop almost immediately before starting to creep up again. And Congress never really looks into it.

Are you kidding?!! We’ve won this war at least 8 times already!

LOL.
