Yep.

So, would you like to not talk about my not religion with me?

Exactly.

I’m so damn tired of seeing comments like “why do you keep complaining about Trump, but you didn’t complain so much about Biden?” As if that’s even a legitimate question.

Because that dumbass pedo is destroying our country, looting all the coffers, pissing our allies off, starting wars, increasing costs of living and just generally fucking everything up for ALL OF US!!! Biden was too old and didn’t do as much as I’d have liked, but goddammit don’t even pretend they are equally bad. They aren’t in the same ballpark, they aren’t even the same sport.

These MAGA morons sound like “why are you screaming because I stabbed you in the chest with a knife, but you didn’t complain when Joe gave you a paper cut?”

WTF!

Instructions unclear, burned our genitals.

We’ve had one yes.

Join the Satanic Temple or some Humanist org or something. For some reason people lose their minds if your religion is just “none”, but are at least more ok with it being something, even if the something had only one tenet and that was “none”.

Capitalism working exactly as intended. They siphon off most of the profits and benefits and toss a few crumbs out to us on occasion.

People don’t seem to comprehend just how much money gets collected by the people at the top of their corporation pyramid scheme.

You work your ass off, generate millions of profit for the company, the CEO gets to take 99% of it for him and his lazy gang of thieves and maybe everyone else gets a few thousand as a bonus. Maybe.

Or they blow it on AI and blow and then lay people off to fix their mistakes.

Someone making a profit simply from “owning” it or being at the top and contributing 0 is a crime against us all.

No, no. You gotta update last to let them marinate for a while before you upgrade. If you upgrade too fast it just doesn’t taste the same.

Replying to your comment to hit my required comments per day goal.

If a metric becomes a target, It ceases to be a good measure. If it ceases to be a good measure, It will want a glass of milk. If it wants a glass of milk, It will want a cookie. If it wants a cookie, It will need to become a target. If it needs to become a target, It will want to be a measure.

The neat thing is you don’t even need AI for that!

Wrap all the way around that and down to the tree roots and back around and up to the top branches. To be sure.

Oh, it’s hard to tell jokes from serious when your entire government is run by criminal clowns.

I still don’t understand how The Onion can even continue to exist this past decade.

Yeah, for real. It’s like kids fighting over a giant bag of candy and they rip the bag open and spill it all so no one gets any. They could have shared and everyone would have been happy and content and had candy to spare, but now no one gets any. Meanwhile the wealth hoarders have countless billion more bags of candy EACH and have it all locked away in warehouses and being traded around. Meanwhile now the 2 kids have no candy at all and are hungry and angry at each other and neither wants to address the fact that the 3rd kid has billions of bags hidden away from them when all 3 kids have the EXACT SAME RIGHT AND HAVE CONTRIBUTED THE EXACT SAME LEVEL OF EFFORT INTO THE SYSTEM TO EARN THE CANDY!!!

And yet people keep voting against more candy for everyone and give all the candy to the one fat kid with diabetes that isn’t even working to earn the candy anymore.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

My entire life has been a constant trend of prices going up, wages staying flat. That’s now spanned across like 7 different administrations for me.

Some have been dramatically worse, like Trump, others just mild, but the trend has been the same for decades and it really all ties back to Reagan. Since then it’s been a steady decline for 99% of Americans and a steady increase for the 1%.

But everyone keeps voting to help the 1% while simultaneously bemoaning the costs and pointing fingers at each other. It’s wild.

The DOW has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of everyday living expenses or our incomes. That is strictly a measure of how well the corporations and the elite rich are doing. Why people even use that as any measure of good or bad is insane. It’s like saying it’s really cold on Neptune today so you should turn your heater on.

Also, if corporations are making more profits that very likely means that the people (you and me) that work for them are making even less of a % of what value we create for them than before. (I.E. wage theft by underpaying all their employees and refusing to raise wages to even keep up with inflation at a MINIMUM)

If your wages don’t automatically go up with each years inflation be numbers by default then you got a pay cut that year.

And if the DOW does amazing or terrible has absolutely zero impact on your day to day. Unless you are a day trader or something.

Adding to all those, another realization I had during mine was that if a god was real and that god created the universe and all things and all the rules then they could have also set up the rules in any way they wanted. And they chose the system where they had to murder their own son and eternally torture anyone who didn’t do a certain thing or believe a certain thing, but also created people that physically couldn’t ever do those things due to where they were, their abilities, the luck of who might teach them or not, etc. etc.

That’s a wild set of tangled, complicated, cruel and utterly deranged and sadistic set of rules and punishments if you could literally create anything and any system you wanted.

If I was to design a board game and I made the rules where if you don’t do exactly what I want I get to torture you forever and everyone starts with random skills and items and 90% of the people that play don’t get to hear the rules first or even know there are rules and there are also thousands of alternate rules books and people saying their game is the correct real one and saying you have to do their rules, but you have no way of knowing which is real or not. If I did that I’d be ridiculed and mocked and no one would ever buy my game.

Understanding is too big of a word for MAGA.

If he steals the election I believe the correct action is to storm the Capital, right? That’s what they said and did.

They stopped making them out of gasoline.

Even better idea for a new fashion trend. Cans of black spray paint and paintball gun accessories, with a cute little strap. And if a few cameras get accidentally blinded well that’s just the price we are willing to pay to slay.
