Couldn’t be Luigi, we were hanging out getting blazed in Canada. After a raucous good time I put him on the bus to Pennsylvania with a backpack full of funny prank stuff.

TSA agents are ineffectual on the best of days, but without pay? Between that and the amazing production quality at Boeing I’m quite content to not fly anywhere.

Yeah I can make shit up too. Playing pretend is fun.

Ah, and which country is this then?

Yeah, Russia and Iran are far more oppressive than the US, Israel, and Turkey

2 month old account, seems about right

Behold, your “Deep State”

In all fairness, where Republicans are concerned gulags are warranted

Well now I’m curious as to how they date oral histories

In theory if you could use any profits to make counter-investments or buy enough stock to be able to influence them to move in a different direction then your strategy might be viable, but unless you literally just buy 1 share to be able to harass them at stockholder meetings then in all likelihood your money is doing more harm than good.

Best to just straight up invest in organizations that are effective in stopping these things and influencing policy against them.

There are some people who are so far out in left field that they come back around on the right again.

Hi there! Did you know that horseshoe theory is complete and utter bullshit? A quick perusal of even Wikipedia will quickly inform the uninformed.

Any country that doesn’t want to be invaded should acquire nuclear weapons.

If it’s that easy than lots of people with all kinds of agendas will try it.

Project 2025 is a great boogeyman: an outline of a plan by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

People see it and somehow think there’s some grand unified conspiracy to enact it. At the end of the day it is no more or less than a list of goals by a think tank. Worrying about it assumes people in power give a shit about the heritage foundation and/or agree with it, as if Donald Trump gives a shit what anyone besides Donald Trump thinks.

When any action is taken it’s worthwhile to ask who benefits by it? Who benefits by stoking fear about some shitty essay by bowtie perverts and suit fetishists? The answer is always the Democratic Party, a useless organization that managed to be paid $1.5 billion dollars (and still end up in debt) to lose what should have been the easiest election win in history. Boy I sure wish I could be paid $1.5B by a bunch of dumbasses to be that big a fuck up.

Reality moment

But who steals from the thieves?

Nothing that can be done about that through the two-party system. Republicans will always make things worse while Democrats will never make anything better.

People risk their lives pointlessly all the time. Just look at anyone fighting for Ukraine. At the end of the day, Russia still has nukes, and Ukraine does not.

Besides killing people, what fundamentally changed because of the Unabomber? What effect did the Unabomber actually have on society besides adding a new high statistic?
