I can identify a lot of things in a minute.

Doesn’t mean I’m not a bullshitter.

Hey Donald look I put a stack on the couch right here, don’t worry bud you can drive later just go chill with your stack of BK’s for awhile and watch golf while you slobber burger juice all over your disgusting fascist face, spout heinously racist drivel and complain about women that won’t have sex with you because they correctly conclude that despite being a former US President you are a pathetic loser.

Go snuggle with your burgers now Don, just for awhile, also take these pills they make your skin tanner.

I can’t help but think that the people who came up with the idea that charging for transit is good because it keeps homeless off the trains aren’t actually interested in improving either transit or homelessness.

Congratulations your Mk II I-Don’t-Think-You-Assholes-Actually-Care Fire and Forget Torpedo scored a direct hit on your opponents Battleship HMS Austerity hitting the engine room and immediately (rhetorically) obliterating five whole subreddits of libertarians.

Thank you for your service

Free public transit is awesome

Yeah I get you, its like you are watching the nuclear reactor meltdown at a powerplant and hoping that the main chamber blows up prematurely because it might stop the reaction from running away into a catastrophic irradiation of everybody.

because this self absorbed victim mentality will lead to actual mental illness.

thanks for the heads up!

I promise you, I equally hate having to say sorry all the time.

It doesn't matter though, because I will fuck up in an unacceptable way with someone I love or who has power over me, and I will have to manage that moment some how.

In that moment if I cannot guarantee I will not repeat a similar kind of action that created the problem again, I am left with no agency except to attempt to express the fact that it emotionally impacted me that I hurt that person with my fuck up.

I really don't think people are understanding my point here. It is so easy to say "Nobody wants to hear apologies" because it is so self evidently true, but that is precisely what makes apologies one of the most practical forms of poetry. You have to impact someone with your words when the last thing they want in the world are words.

People can handwave away everything I am saying as overthinking it or trying to manipulate people but frankly when you consider people's actual lived experiences it is absurd to claim this isn't a problem we all have to solve almost every day of our lives even if the stakes aren’t usually existential. If we were biologists studying any other animal we would quickly conclude that making genuinely impactful apologies that stay don’t overstay their welcome is one of the most important skills of social interaction in our species.

It just feels good to say the words "Nobody wants to hear an apology" because yes, every single one of us can immediately conjure the feeling of aggressively wanting action not words. That is why most of the time apologies don't work, that doesn't mean they aren't frequently our only option (that we take with a rational understanding of it being a low probability of success strategy). The cultural blindspot people have about this when discussing human interactions in the abstract is exhausting.

There is no good and evil naturally, just what we create

Which is love, which may wear scary forms, but it is always what gives us the power to sustain as beings through the fucking constant pain of suffering and injustice both within and without.

Billionaires should not exist.

I hope this also kills the centrist obsession with "both sides"-ing every political controversy where people on the left are screaming at the top of their lungs "PLEASE SAVE THEM" and people on the right are screaming "KILL THEM ALL" and then sternly scolding the "please save them" crowd that this isn't the right time and place for that kind of rhetoric and anyways it unnecessarily divides us and gives the "kill them all" people even more power.

The horror of someone who believes deeply in eternity realizing in the very last moment of existence that there is no eternity, no nothing in fact, after this moment isn't a fitting punishment for a villain?

I dunno, don't knock it til you try it.

It is a comedic tragedy that this video is in english and not emojis.

I press the button to launch missile at somebody on the other side of the planet who I know nothing about and have just decided to kill because my boss and their boss and their boss all say this is existentially important to the survival of western democracy.

Satisfied I step out of the shipping crate into the barren Nevada sun.

Yes I said yes I will Yes.

I mean it’s a trolley, only extremist socialists and people who understand mass transit is way more sensible than cars use those so I think that alone qualifies it as a target to the FBI/CIA.

I mean ok maybe some people die who just like commuting to work without the massive headache of maintaining and driving a car, but we can’t let those people stand in the way of progress.

Oops it was a wedding, sorry can you blame us there were a bunch of brown people together and it scared us

If we did have a free market, supply would be allowed to organically grow to match demand, introducing competition and solving all of the above problems.

No, health care companies would just be more “free” to make choices that cause people to die because it is more profitable.

Full stop that is the only real difference you would see.

Well yeah except a bunch of woke organic hippy farmers cancelled Sauron who were all bankrolled by Gandalf Soros as part of an astroturfed scheme to make it look like Sauron was some evil dictator when really it is the woke mob ruining middle earth.

Whatever you might think of Sauron, he knows how to run a business.

I mean it’s compelling evidence but frankly you are going to need to provide a lot more cross substantiating backup evidence to prove such bold claims.

This isn’t a smoking gun like the infamous Nessie Photo that proved the existence of modern subfjord lava cave Plesiosaurs, and y’all think that just providing this one picture proves it all….

The thing I don’t get about you Birds Are Real freaks is that if birds were indeed still real and they were in fact plotting against us, why wouldn’t you just join them and help them plot? Certainly you would be in the most powerful position in the human race if you became the loyal human minions the new global overlords could trust.

The internal logic of you peoples weird little, let’s face it CONSPIRACY, doesn’t even make sense or at least it means y’all would fight on the human side in a Global Human-Bird War instead of the birds. I mean come on, if we actually did live in the absurd reality you believe is true where birds are still real then how could you possibly live with that choice?

All the cool people would immediately realize Bird Kingdom would be way fuckin better than this B-movie budget slow motion apocalypse where only a handful of billionaires have died yet in submarines.
