The line on the graph must go up, even if it’s for one second! Glory to the CEO! Praise the shareholders! My life for the corporation! Now give me that minute-by-minute profit projection!

I know that the ‘Christian’ choice would be to accuse Jesus of socialism for helping the poor for free.

They also grasp mental health better than people might think. Such as Martok and Worf watching Garak face his claustrophobia in order to save them:

Martok: There is no greater enemy than one’s own fears.
Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.

And this admiration is coming from people who consider the Cardassians to be bitter enemies, which is even more astounding given how devious and dishonourable Garak can be.

We regularly review our pay to ensure we offer competitive wages and benefits.

Translation: We pay as little as we can get away with.

They’re not rioters, they’re seditious scum.

The F-16 deployments will make the Russians crap themselves even more than the Stormshadows ever did. Just the missiles alone have panicked Russian air defences into friendly fire.

That’s rebel propaganda. The Stormtroopers had no trouble boarding Tantive IV and people seem to selectively ignore the scenes proving that the rebels were permitted to escape the Death Star so they could be tracked to their secret base.

That is a 4D chess move.

The extra hours weren’t much of an issue given American industrial capacity. So I’d say the Sherman was better in most areas, especially in terms of build quality, ergonomics and escape hatches for the crew.

You know it’s fucked up when even the Nazis told Japan that the Rape of Nanking was too extreme. They also told the Croatian Ustasha to dial it down a bit.

Zhukov and Khrushchev also agreed that Lend Lease was crucial, along with many more members of Stalin’s inner circle.

(which were better anyways tbh)

Why do you consider Soviet tanks to be better than their American counterparts?

Always remember that flying M113s are an affront to the Machine God.

Putin’s War to Expand NATO is going great, I’d say.

Out of your seven motorcycles, which one is used for which purpose?

Exactly. I sometimes grapple with an urge to slightly exaggerate my issues to make sure I get a fair assessment.

I love it when the DWP Aktion T4 question if I’m still autistic or not. Believe me, I wish I could stop being autistic and not have anxiety over very normal things and sudden changes. Even the initial application for PIP or DLA was a nightmare as an uncaring system was not convinced I was autistic despite all of the evidence provided by my GP. They very nearly ran me out of money when I got sanctioned without realising it, followed by a year of further paperwork battles as the DWP Aktion T4 continued to deliberately misinterpret everything.

Then there’s a lot of anti-welfare crap swirling around the internet, so I sometimes feel guilty about claiming anything even though I know it’s legitimate. People are salivating at the idea of the DWP having enforcement powers, checking where you go on holiday (even though a flight can cost less than a train ticket) and other intrusive measures.

Currently I’m at risk of losing my ESA since they decided to question my autism again and want to do a phone interview, which is exactly what I struggle with, so thank god there’s people who can support me with that call. Honestly, if I had to fight the DWP alone, I probably would have lost all of my benefits and offed myself by now. It’s tough enough even with my really good support network.

Something, something, invisible hand of the free market and Social Darwinism. Dead people can’t be in poverty, right? Problem solved!

So what should we do next time there is another global pandemic? What’s the alternative?
