Classical cynics loved to ridicule society and exalt nature. Modern cynics ridicule society and exalt themselves.
A cynic that owns a mortgage and a 401k is a bigger imposter than the tourist wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the Mall of America.

Parody is hard when the truth is more absurd. Kim’s granddad had his favorite actors kidnapped and brought to N.Korea to make movies for him.
Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.
There was a time when feeling suspicious about your victim was a defense called “gay panic” and several murderers got off that way.
The national suicide prevention hotline is almost always too busy and callers often need to wait on hold. They’ve calibrated everything from the hold music, the script, and the recorded voice to keep callers on the line.
This factoid splits people pretty evenly between those who find it horrifying and those who find it hilarious.
I should say that according to the hotline, the changes made to the hold system has resulted in 100,000 fewer hang-ups per year.
IDK what Laura is doing, but I know Marjorie and Lindsey are very upset about it.
If the AI wanted to talk me out of conspiracy theories, why don’t they use the brain signals to control us to thinking that way? Do the microwaves from the circuits behind the walls all go out of service all of a sudden?
This is just classic silicon valley trying to “innovate”, when their real plan was to muscle out CIA and FBI work to non-union contractors.
This whole dust up is between MTG, L. Graham, and Loomer is just jealous office politics. Apparently, Loomer is on the rise while the former two are in decline around Trump’s orbit.

Every game executive and investor wants a Fortnight. That’s why no matter how many times gamers reject it live service games will continue to be developed. Because AAA games are made for investors not players.
This reasoning doesn’t make sense unless Trump loses. How can sentencing the POTUS be any less fraught than sentencing a candidate? The judge is a coward with at least two rulings in his back pocket depending on the outcome of the election.
I left when every other video was about the personal lives of Linus or his staff. I know that developing the parasocial is important to any channel, but it turns me off.
I read once that Holocaust research causes three distinct traumas. One is where you realize that it really happened to real people. Two is when you empathize with the victims and can visualize yourself of loved ones in that position. Three is when you empathize with the perpetrators and can visualize yourself or loved ones in that position.
It’s natural for children to believe that good people do good things and bad do bad, but that opinion can’t survive into adulthood without profound lack of self awareness.
OK, it was hard enough to care about the decorum at Arlington, now I have to champion the Pentagon’s censorship rules? Miss me with this shit.
This isn’t about “stolen valor”. The candidate was a Seal. He just wrote a book about it without asking the pentagon “mother may I” first.
