Societal consequences obviously don’t motivate much of the investor class, but financial ones do.

At this time year? In this part of the country?

I would have sworn it was an article from this election cycle, but hey, that’s the brain for you…not nearly as reliable as we’d like to believe.

I wish I remembered where I read it so I could attribute it, but I saw someone describe Trump not as a liar but as a bullshitter. It’s not that he lies. It’s that he has no regard, one way or another, for whether what he is saying is a lie or not. He simply has a thought and recites it. It’s so effortless for him to lie because, from his perspective, it’s the same as telling the truth. If this is true, the pattern you’ve identified could be merely chance based on the probability that any random thought a person has is more likely to be wrong than right when they are incapable of learning new information.

I didn’t feel like I was doing it justice, so I found the sauce…from fucking 2015. https://newrepublic.com/article/124803/donald-trump-not-liar

Posers. REAL Trump fans would have a friend shoot their ear with an AR from range first.

/s, obviously. We all know they don’t have friends.

That was a wild fitness class…

Even Krusty’s dad eventually loved him.

And they’ll still be the most experienced combat troops Putin can field. At least they get lots of practice marching up and down the square.

Yeah, this definitely feels like a doctrine and training problem. I can’t even imagine a scenario where the US or NATO lost half of any platform like that. Pearl Harbor, maybe? I remember how huge a deal it was when we found out our body armor and APCs sucked in 2001, and that was nothing like losing every missile ship.

Seems like the sort of thing people should know about a central tenet of a pillar of their identity…

That means something totally different in Louisiana than you intended…

Yeah, as long as we have Musks, Zuckerbergs, and Shkrelis in the world, we’ll always need a public entity strong enough to act as a counterbalance. I can’t imagine an entity other than “government” to do that.

The last thing I want is a visit from the privately-owned police department to interrogate me about using an ad blocker.

This reboot is already worse than the 2016 original.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have the same fake man and in the sky. They’re fighting over who his message boys were…but that really isn’t very relevant in the current situation.

Sometimes, you just wanna punch yourself in the dick. It won’t fix your problems, but it’ll make em feel less important for a few minutes.

T = 40P⁰

Or being the wrong color, loving the wrong person or reading the wrong books

Can’t leave until we fix this one. Quantum Leap rules.

Sometimes, it’s the crime ,and* the cover-up

That’s…not what gills are for.
