- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 weeks ago:
Alf’s favorite food was neighborhood cats. And that’s how I remembered it because I was an innocent child who was going to heaven. It never dawned on me until today, the day the internet caught me slipping, that this literally makes him a pussy eater.

Well, this killed the last bit on childhood innocence I had left. Somehow I have resisted into my 40s making this connection
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
“Do people just not read? Are people that lazy? What is going on?”
Not much, what is going on with you?

- Comment on Me at my library job as the only one who will weed books 2 months ago:
Do they sell them? My local library holds a book sale every so often (6 or 12 months, not sure). Books are usually $1 for a novel up to $3-4 for a textbook sized book. It’s always packed. Some people bring carts and fill them up with dozens of books.

“that’s shit” = not funny at all
“that’s shit from a butt” = can’t stop laughing
Why?
- Comment on Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". 5 months ago:
A million heartbeats is 10 days. A billion is 27 years
- Comment on They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot. 6 months ago:
A couple thoughts…
It is talking about President, but counts years where those names appeared on the ballot as Vice President too.
It also ignores that a lot of other people have also been on the ballots over the years.
Also, some of this is natural. When a president has an 8 year run, the Vice President is a natural person to take a shot at the presidency, so it’s perfectly normal to have 12 years where the same person is on the ballot as VP then P. It’s natural for this to happen more than once in a row. Whether we’ve had this long of a streak or not, I don’t know, but I suspect we might have.
This showerthought covers 44 years. The Bushs and Clintons double dipping is 12 years worth of ballots, but the other 32 years were natural. Hilary lost when she tried to double dip so I would argue the 8 years of Dubya are really the only anomaly in actual presidencies as far as “dynasties” are concerned.
