These are hard times, and more are coming. And I don’t exactly remember the quote, but it’s along the lines of:

“When a run-away team of horses is headed off a cliff, the driver can sometime be seen encouraging them on, presumably, since he knows he cannot stop them, he at least feels some sense of control over the situation.”

Well, clearly you are not a bot on reddit then.

Adam something is such a strange name, too.

I hope you’ve made it out of russia, things are getting nuts there. I wouldn’t even be in georgia now if I was you.

Now this is a Noncredible Defense.

Best turrets in space, gotta give them that.

He sounds credible, don’t be so defensive.

While you took basic computer classes, he studied the blade.

Dark Brandon, packing a piece, immunity-and-secret-service… fuck da police!

Rolls his walker, past Miami green, them proud boys homeless from the weather machine,

Yeah… you like that racist? The donkey can kick, ain’t no felons can’t vote so even Florida flip…… what?

What’s that smell (what’s that smell?) What’s that smell? (What’s that smell?)

Little donny, you in there, I smell your perfume, I heard you call for revolution on what’s left of fox news,

Little donny, I’m outside, an old man and the sea, my glock has mods, she stutters, spits a lot more than me,

I’m famous (they let you do it), I’m in office (they let you do it), your joke court is away now, Bret and Clarence showing Amy all of Tommy’s porn now, Let me in, I’ll be quick man, just lend me an ear, damn I know I’m in a red state ain’t no ramp access here.

He said his gut says it goes to trump, but I’m quietly hoping a lot of women lie about their votes and go for harris.

You probably have confirmation bias based on your environment. I own a contracting company and many in the trades drink the koolaid, and are completely blind that they are voting themselves poor over the long term.

Some people can only learn through pain - they can’t express empathy past what they personally experience - and those people tend to be squarely trump voters. They’ll vote for bacon every day as pigs, and only realize their mistake afterwards.

Does counting to 12 count?

That’s not correct. When a person is declared dead but is maintained for organ harvesting, a tech is brought in to keep the body stable to best preserve all organs being taken. Think ICU, but focused on saving the organs with not much concern for the brain. Breathing, BP, and heart rate are optimized for organ survival until a surgical team can be set up for harvesting. A colleague did it for a while, and said it was depressing and a lot of sitting around watching the monitor and tweaking drips until they could arrange surgery. When my brother died, we donated what we could, but a lot of his organs were non-viable due to his illness… still, every little bit helps.

I’d like to lighten up the mood by commenting the guy is lucky this happened in Kentucky… everyone knows the standard for being brain dead is much lower there. :)

Timmy has a competing lemonade stand with your kid, and he charges $1 for a glass and you charge $3 for a glass. Rather than lowering your prices, you place a $2.50 tariff on any lemonade from Timmy in your neighborhood. Now everyone pays $3.50 for his lemonade, and it only makes sense for your kid to charge $3.50 as well, because Timmy’s lemonade has to get to your neighborhood while yours is local, so why not pocket that 50 cents.

In this scenario, Timmy cannot sell his cheaper lemonade to your neighborhood at a cheaper price. Everyone in your neighborhood must pay the new inflated price. People in other neighborhoods will go to Timmy, so only your neighborhood buys your lemonade, although some people will try to circumvent the tariffs by buying Timmy’s same lemonade for $2 in a neighboring area.

This was, at best, medium-grade satire.

Burning Man was really great this year, but I’m really stoked about Blasting Horse.

George Soros wants those horses to rot… or be alive! I’m not sure which!

As one of the captured media sources, I can say the only drawback is meeting our many, sometimes unreasonable demands! Billionaires bring much needed money into the industry, to help better direct our finite resources into investigating stories that really matter to the world, and help us keep our focus in a world of distracting content.

Populism is fairly simple, you just parrot the following talking points:

The system isn’t working. I am fighting the system. Elect me and I’ll take the fight to them.

What isn’t working should be as vague as possible, so the voter believes it is the thing they’re angry about. When elected, the candidate should continue to complain about the system and crow about how hard they’re fighting for you, so you keep voting for them.

Unfortunately, this eventually leads to you actually passing legislation that makes everything much, much worse than it was. You can keep blaming the other side, but eventually, the jig is up.
