No. The issue with boeing is that they're poorly constructed due to corrupt ownership/management.

I'll put smart bets on Salt Lake City's mayor.

Well....I'm anti-AI as it gets, and I don't support this measure, but I would like to point out if you're on the floor dying, that WOULD be an emergancy call.

Weirdest episode of family fued ever....

The 14lbs one is named Torpedo? What, are you into irony? Does that mean the 6.5lbs cat just has the biggest imaginable cat dick? Like, distractingly so. Like you saw that cat, and were like "People will laugh if I named her Spotted Lady!"

This, but with your girlfriends.

You try to feed your skinny girlfriend, but the fat one comes running around the corner like "meow!"

And you're like "Pam, you're a human. Why do you keep making animal noises? You're 35 years old!"

And she just says "MOOOOOOO!!!!"

So you have to tip toe around her saying the obvious joke. It's like the elephant in the room.

And then the floor collapses, because there's not supposed to be an elephant in the room.

I think it's that the world has changed into having fractured multiple cultures.

In the 80s/90s being gay was considered by general society to be an insult. If you're under 25, the concept of something being negative being called "gay" as the standard insult just sounds made up.

But people who are 40 years old may remember being in school, and you got a D on a quiz. Your buddy might say "You got a D? That's gay."

Had nothing to do with actual homosexuality. It's just that's what society was. Being gay wasn't accepted, and it was cool and trendy to hate on gays to the point that it wasn't questioned if you called anything bad "gay".

It's impossible to place an exact date on when the culture changed, because it likely changed at different times for different regions. I assume California was the first to change.

I first noticed the shift in pop culture around 2003. There was a russian pop singer duo/band called tatu. Terrible music, but they kissed in their one hit wonder music video.

The reactions I saw on MTV were people saying they were brave for being openly gay. Whereas if it would have happened in the 80s, I'm sure they'd have gotten death threats.

And I STILL see people who don't accept gay people.

So society is now fractured on what popular belief is. Now it's more like several circles, who all have different views. As opposed to one giant unified viewpoint, with those not conforming left on the outside in the underground.

Because that's just one topic. There's other people who are ok with gay people, but not ok with trans. So thats another circle. Now imagine every single viewpoint which has a counter viewpoint.

Whereas in the 80s, something like 92% of the vote went towards reagan, and everybody conformed to the preapproved normal viewpoints. We don't do that anymore. We each find our own meaning of normal.

Now me personally, I don't find giving a nazi salute to be normal. But you'll still find herds of people defending musk. You'll also find people like me who say fuck musk, and fuck any self identifying nazi. So, another example of how different people are now in different circles.

if we want to make any kind of progress.

The people who own this country DON'T want progress.

Plot twist, you now ordered bleach as a topping on your pizza.

Sooooooooo, universal basic income?

"I would like to buy this mansion for $1.00."

"This home is 100,000,000"

"This home is $1.00"

"This home is $1.00"

"I would like to buy this home for $1.00"

"Thank you for your purchase. The title is now in your name."

Would a commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he is thirsty and having a Roman Soldier pass him an ice cold Coca Cola be better?

Yes. PLEASE put this on the air. I am begging someone to make this a reality. Also, full disclosure, I do enjoy watching the world burn over stupid shit. Christians losing their shit over THAT commercial would be comically delightful.

The spirit breaks under the crushing weight of capitolism.

Imagine being hit by a train, and not learning your lession to not walk on the tracks.

Hell, imagine surviving that at all!

"Oooooohhhhhh, you broke the law, president trump!"

".......yeah? And?"

And nothing happened.

"Bitch, I better not hear ONE WORD about my spiffy bow tie. I like it, and it's green"

Your what?

"My booowwwwoooowwwwoooowwwww tie!"

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying.....HAVE YA SEEN THE FLOPPY EARS???

I love you Teddy!!!

I don't know about Seinfeld, but I know in Friends, they used look-alike, but not real products.

It's not Sprite, it's Sprita. Same logo (for the time), but not the same.

It wasn't skittles, it was skitles.

You see where I'm going with this. They wanted the feel of a real apartment, without the legal trouble from using real products.

It's been a while since I heard it, but Dave Chapelle has a foutine about this. It's a guy who saves women from a burning building who otherwise would have died....but then he rapes some of them.

The whole punchline is "He rapes, but he saves"

I'm not doing it justice here, but it did get me thinking about morality when I first heard it.
