The dude who repairs clothes must be pissed.

What about that guy who got one over on the u.s. Treasury and walked with millions in gold coins? Or D.B. Cooper?

If you let them know their bullying is getting to you, they’ll only continue and increase their torment. You might need to grow a thick skin to get through living with them, but try not to let that harden you to the world too much in the process. They may be physically stronger than you, but that shouldn’t stop you from becoming your best self. Not for them; but for yourself.

I mean, they do though? I’m totally against that, but hear me out: if we infiltrated for instance, and tried to do the opposite approach of only screwing the shareholders while providing maximum value to workers and consumers, we wouldn’t last long enough to bring it to a vote at the corrupted board. If you don’t provide a solid plan on how you’re gonna fuck consumers in the coming quarter, they won’t even let you stay on as CEO. It’s literally not possible to do good in this system, you can either not participate and keep getting fucked as consumers/workers, or you can trade class and provide value for shareholders, there is no in between anymore. The only option that will change this without another Teddy, is revolution. Hopefully a peaceful one.

It’s pretty simple actually. Big companies took billions upon billions of dollars in federal subsidies and grants handed out to them via taxation of the public, then when they got just about done building the thing they spent all our money on, they erected a nice shiny gate at the front and charged us admission. But not before bribing donating to criminals politicians to ensure zero competition or risk to their non-investment. It’s rampant capitalism defined.

Because material conditions are consistently hovering juuust above revolt levels. If we want a massive sweeping change, shit will get worse first. People will demand change, but I believe a large portion of society will have to be starving and on the streets before we consider movement that actually does anything to change the status quo, due to the risk of death.

Kind of like when George Carlin said ‘if you want better politicians; make better people.’

‘Friends’ was one of the biggest tv series in nearly every country, it’s not just good ol’ American hubris, nor unimportant news to people throughout the world who enjoyed his work. Artists who are known around the world make headlines all the time, no less when they die, obviously. I certainly doubt anyone would read of Patrick Stewart dying, only to rush to the comments to say how irrelevant this British actor’s passing was.

May be an obvious thing to everybody else, but what do you mean by spook? Where I’m from we’re careful using that word.

I think we may be entering a new era politically. Thank goodness. Maybe we’ll see some momentum in antitrust again, it’s been 120 years since we last got the ball rolling, and what we got was well worth fighting for in my opinion. The world can always be a little bit better, and antitrust laws help us make it better.

Yeah, let’s execute the intellectually disabled. Super progressive.

but we don’t stereotype white people as criminal masterminds.

Unless they steal from, or ruin the lives of other rich people, a la Bernie Madoff. Then they’re definitely masterminds who should bare full responsibility immediately.

My uncle’s Italian, the zoo won’t let him back in after he got into a dust-up at the chimpanzee exhibit.

If you own the house, you do get residuals for renting it out. That’s what rent is. And there’s only one house, you can’t sell it to 10,000,000 people, only one person or party can own it at a time, and each one of those persons or parties has the same opportunity (in theory) to profit in near perpetuity via rent. It’s real property, not digital, reprintable media. If it was a painting of a house, and then it got copied to death and reprinted for free without the artist’s permission, that’d be a problem. That ain’t the way it works with houses.

The speed and random nature of Spelunky really helps build gaming skills.

Cut to black & white footage of a blonde suburban mom with her hand stuck inside a headphone jack. “Does THIS ever happen to you?”

Fable? So familiar but can’t put my finger on it, lol.

DO A BARREL ROLL!
