the only person on the planet that believes influencers as far as I can throw them.
This phrase doesn’t work though. Unless you’re some body builder type, and can throw them really really far.
But even that doesn’t make sense either. Because if you said
“I only trust this guy 18 feet…”
the other person would say
“…18 feet? What? What does THAT mean???”
And you would say “What??? You think you can throw a man 19 feet??? Ok. Go grab him. Go. Go grab that man, and throw him 19 feet. Show me.”
At about this time I think they would just call the cops, assuming you have mental problems, and violent tendancies.
Which to be fair…yeah. You’re over here talking about how far you can pick another man up against their will, and how far you can throw them.
Although, how have we never made that an olympic event? You get a bunch of fat guys in a bar, and some body builder muscleheads, and see who wins. If the fat guy can escape, his time to escape is measured. Fastest fat guy gets the medal. Or, if he gets thrown, farthest throw distance wins the medal.
I’d watch that.
I’d accept the job, and then write the WORST assballs articles about how Mario isn’t trying to save the princess. He’s hunting her down to get more mushrooms. She’s not being kidnapped. She’s spending quality time with her husband. She’s not a princess. She works at a white castle. Which back in the 80s, still had some of the old royal castle buildings in use.
And Luigi isn’t his frightened little brother who won’t go on adventures because he’s scared. He’s just some guy who cleans and flips houses.
And Princess isn’t surrounded by her toads loyal servicemen. Those are dildos. Yes, ALL of them.
And then when they reject my work, I’d be like “Oh…then you are NOT going to like my article of pacman taking drugs and being racist…”
Great contribution to the conversation. It’s short. It’s direct. It leaves a huge amount of confusion what you’re even saying. Are you saying the industry doesn’t underpay? Are you saying the writers don’t prop up the industry? Who’s to say? Certainly not you! Because you didn’t say…
I remember a time when Ohio was a blue state. Then a swing state. Now it is a red state. Ohio is where JD Vance came from.
Michigan used to be a blue state. Now it’s a swing state. So that gives you an idea on where they are in the timeline.
It’s always been that way. That’s why the progress is really slow.
It’s all Nixons fault. He was actually going to be a really really great president. If he had won reelection, he may have been remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time.
But, he had one core problem that will always keep him from the place atop history that he SHOULD have had.
Now, you probably think I mean watergate. But Watergate was a symptom of the problem. Not the problem itself.
The problem was that he was morally corrupt. People have seeminly incorrectly remembered watergate as a desprate last ditch effort that was his only chance at winning. It wasn’t.
I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but historically a sitting president gets reelected most of the time. Add that to the fact that he had some great policies. He was one of the best presidents in terms of environmental issues. He fully understood international policy. So much so that in 1994 before he died, he straight up predicted issues of how the soviet union breaking up would play out for russia 30 years later. He didn’t name putin by name, but he told of everything putin’s done during modern times, and how it would force them to try to go to war with a former soviet member nation. He said this would happen 30 years later, back in 1994. He wasn’t even alive to see putin take power, but understood exactly what would happen no matter who it was.
But, for all that potential to be a great president, his corrupt morals, and lust for power led him down a coarse of history that leads us to where we are today.
Because Fox News was specifically started, as quoted by Rupert Murdock, as existing for the sole purpose of influencing americans into massaging their own beliefs towards thinking anything the GOP does is alright, and any opposition is their enemy.
And that is HUGE in understanding why America is the way it is right now.
Basically, if Nixon weren’t corrupt, he wouldn’t have used a war on drugs against marijuana, because he wouldn’t have felt that exploiting Americas black citizens would be appropriate. If that doesn’t happen, he doesn’t see a declining rating among black voters. If that doesn’t happen he doesn’t feel right about the concept of watergate. If that doesn’t happen he doesn’t have to resign to avoid impeachment. If that doesn’t happen Fox News isn’t started. If Nixon never resigns, the GOP doesn’t feel angry towards Clinton and seek impeachment. If that doesn’t happen the American population doesn’t learn that impeachment is no big deal. If America never learns that, years later trump doesn’t feel immune from impeachment to the point that his actions get him impeached twice.
If fox news is never created, news treats 9/11 as a factual breakdown of events, rather than an emotional reaction that we need to support the Bush presidency with everything they want. If that doesn’t happen, America never gets divided in 2003 over the idea of our troops still being overseas.
And if fox news doesn’t exist, we don’t spend the next 10 years sucking off bush, and then being surprised that a black man won presidency.
Now I still think America would have been racist towards Obama, but not surprised. They just got told for 8 years that 9/11 was the fault of clinton and the democrats. They just almost a decade being told that minorities were ruining this country. Then a black man from their perspective is suddenly president without reason. Without the surprise element, they may have been willing to hate him for policy, rather than some imaginary sneak attack takeover of the presidency. Then if it was policy only, Obama comprimised EVERYTHING to work with them. Maybe too much actually. But the point is, republicans working WITH democrats is the very foundation of how this country is SUPPOSED to work. Instead you now have two sides of the same coin not realizing they are on the same coin. That coin being America itself. Republicans znd democrats treat each other like warring neighbor nations rather than two hands that need to shake.
And it all traces back to Nixon pulling a stunt to spy on opposition, when he really didn’t need to. I think he’d have won of his own merrits. People forget that he WAS popular. And then suddenly, within a few months, not a single American could endorse him. Because they all had empathy and morals. And Rupert Murdovk sought to change that in the future.
Well. His plan worked. We’re living his dream. And now everybody has to suffer, so the GOP can change from an organization that at one time were the good guys. Founded the EPA. Funded libraries. Vastly raised public school funding through a series of tax raises.
Hell, back in the 1800s, they even fought against slavery and the KKK.
What I’m describing is clearly an organization with beliefs that no longer represent the republicans.
But what I’m trying to say is, no matter how it happens, there’s always highs, and always lows. The pendulium goes back and forth. Never one side taking all. So if you don’t want to reverse the path we’ve taken, you need to fight for it. Not with voting. But actual revolution and rebellion. You need to show up on their doorstep, 5 million men strong, all armed to the teeth, all ready to say “no.”
And if they still say “yes”, be prepared for war. We freed the slaves through the bloodiest battle in American history. If they want to reverse it, you need to be ready to let them know in no uncertain terms, the answer is still no.
Go live in a city??? Most do not give a shit.
I live in a city. Peoples faces change when you tell them you don’t drive. To them it says that either you’re an alcoholic whose liscense is expired, or you can’t afford a car.
Wow, no wonder they ran. You start off by telling them the things you don’t like?
Who ran? They never existed.
Let me stop you right there, bud - this is the line that made me comment. You can’t pull the “most women want” card when you’re so clearly out of touch. MOST women don’t want any one thing. They are not a monolith.
Not just women. Men too. But I’m not going to date a male.
It’s not about being anti-social. Bring over 1000 people. It’s fine, as long as they’re inside my home, and not out there in the world.
That being said, my home doesn’t have room for 1000 people. So realistically maybe 4 people. It’s not about the socialisation. It’s about the environment and location.
Also, I don’t have a dream girl. I find the concept repulsing. I would rather tell a woman everything that most women find to be deal breakers about me, then she tells me all of the things that are deal breakers about her. We discuss if those things are important to the other.
Such as, I will never ever ever ever drive a car. If that’s a deal breaker for her, why bother with going on a date?
However, I don’t enjoy traveling. I don’t forsee myself going to concerts, or other cities. Or even the coffee shop she just heard about in some magazine. But I’m not deadset against it. If it was important to her that we go to rome for 5 days, fine. We’ll go to rome. It’s not against any core belief of mine.
Whereas if she won’t date someone who doesn’t drive, we don’t need to talk.
And your entire perspective seems to come from the idea that I’m some introvert who keeps going on dates and getting rejected.
Whereas I’m not an introvert at all. I WANT someone I can relate to. In my younger days, people were always surprised because online I’d meet someone new, talk their head off in text form, with 100 new messages a minute, and then they’d meet me. They were expecting someone who can’t shut up. And I’d barely say two words, because I observe more than I talk. I just can’t observe through text without talking.
Appriciates? Eh, I guess that depends on the person.
Understands? God no. I’ve never understood a single person my whole life. I can’t imagine what would be different about anybody else.
Maybe put something in the documentation that says “If you tell me good code is it’s own documentation, I will lose my temper and slit your throat. And if you wear a pink baseball cap to work, the next day I’ll give you a donut.”
And then you get work only with people who read your documentation.
You know…on account of how you murdered the others!
I’m only learning who you are through context of THIS conversation. How have I never seen you before?
Pssshhhhh, if you think lack of cooking is going to affect my dating life, don’t worry. I’ve yet to find the type of woman who’s personality type would mesh well with mine.
So, I can’t remember the last time I had a date, but I do remember always being disappointed. The VAST majority of women look down on you if you tell them that you’ll never have a drivers liscense (me, not her), that you don’t forsee yourself traveling ever, that you don’t like music, and the whole concept of marriage seems like a financial scam from start until either death or divorce.
If I were to date someone long term, I’d need them to be my speed by nature. Them being my speed has to be something that is within their personality, not me trying to get them to slow down.
My idea of a fun Friday night is to stay in, avoid the bars, and maybe watch a dvd. Most women want to go out, go to clubs, or go on a road trip somewhere. I don’t even want to leave my recliner. Although if I was with someone I’d switch to the couch.
But that person doesn’t exist.
As someone who’s never paid attention to the word count, how long would that take to write, edit, and submit?
Really? That’s disappointing. That sounds like a Texas thing more than a California thing.
Shit, what’s next? Texas raises their min wage to $20 an hour, and tied to inflation?
God damn! These states are losing their identity. Michigan voted red…I mean, I know I’m legally obligated to hate Michigan as a resident of Ohio, but damn. Michigan used to make me jealous of their government. Now it’s voted red.
And yes, I’m aware Ohio also voted red. But we’re Ohio. Nobody was expecting anything cool from us. Michigan had expectations.
Of coarse none of that matters. Without PA, Harris had no path to victory. So, we should all be mad at PA.
So I propose for the next 4 years we boo every PA sports team. Their residents don’t deserve happy sports.
Of coarse, that being said, who CAN you cheer??? I propose Seattle. That way, you don’t have to cheer the Yankees. Plus, you don’t get caught up in the whole Boston fued.
Who’s going to fued with Seattle? Assholes. That’s who.
We BEGAN our existence with slave holding white men who created documents to rule the country which stated “All men are created equally”. Then went home, treated the women in their lives like shit for the next 142 years AT LEAST, while also owning slaves.
Today slavery is mostly abolished, and women have equal rights.
Believe it or not, this IS progress…really really slow progress.
Really? They’re generally pretty quiet and forgetable.
Thats like the bank charging a fee for insufficent funds.
And depending on the porn genre, she might be denied bathroom rights in the shoot too!
You don’t.

Now 41, and have NO CLUE how to cook.
Buddy…government doesn’t give a shit about video games. They got wars to start. People to exploit.
So wait…if you were in the comic, how would buttsex work? Would you have a dominant butthole? Would one be tighter than the other? Would they both feel stimuli the same? Would one be more ticklish than the other?
This is all a very convoluted system. What we should do is make it much more simple.
Take Harris, and trump. Put them in a big venue, like a football stadium, and then fill the ground level with axes and swords, and shields, and maces (the swinging spikey ball kind).
And just let them go at it until we have a victor.
Then, that victor has to solve a series of puzzles. If they can, they win.
I would also accept a revival of the 1990s version of the tv show American Gladiators. Mostly because I love that show.
