The thing that annoys me the most is the amount of money it takes to protect their wealth.
Even if you factor out tings like the police and the army, the money paid for private guards and security alone is in the hundreds of millions. Add in the accountants, lawyers, bankers, and associated finance gurus and you’ve got enough to make college free for everyone on Earth.
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 6 days ago:
Hospitals and ambulances do a lot of handwritten reports. In a conversation, the nurse/doctor/paramedic will say ‘gunshot wound’ but write it GSW.
Worked in public health and never heard anyone say ‘GSW.’
- Comment on What should the next President of the United States do? 1 week ago:
President is only as strong as his control of Congress.
Obama had a super majority going in, and barely got the ACA passed.

Why would I want to waste my time looking for a meme I don’t like to prove that it’s been posted before?
If you feel the need, knock yourself out.
- Comment on cr(ule)ime 1 week ago:
lol!
You mean you actually follow me? That’s both flattering and borderline creepy.
I promise that I’ll forget your username after this interaction.

There’s always someone in charge. The leadership may be fluid, with one person leading the hunt, another running food preparation, and another in charge of keeping watch, but there’s always someone in charge.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 1 week ago:
Read some history.
There was much more saber rattling going on in the Cold War than there is now.
The 0.01% aren’t going to risk their life style to prove a point.

Ron Jeremy. Started making porn in the 1970s and never stopped.
Pretty sickening story but one funny part is that he was partying with a Nevada pimp when the pimp died. That pimp later won an election running as a GOP candidate.
GOP ru8nning a dead pimp will never not be funny.

Heard an interview with Stormy Daniels where she ran it down.
Back in the day, porn actresses did a lot of touring. They’d do live appearances at topless bars around the country. They’d sell DVDs, sign autographs, etc etc.
In a lot of these towns, the local police would harass the dancers for fun and profit. One of the most wide spread laws was that the dancers couldn’t display any pubic hair. The dancers would shave to avoid breaking the law.
The touring actresses learned this and followed suit. So a lot of porn actresses started appearing shaven. Now the guys who watched the videos saw this and started asking their wives/girl friends to get the shave, too.

*yes, I am aware of the actual facts. I am giving the historical view point.
You ignored the asterisk

Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky. That’s the midpoint of the day. Midnight would be when the sun is on the other side of the world* and is now coming closer.
*yes, I am aware of the actual facts. I am giving the historical view point.

I’m not sure if the video game revolutionaries are sincere or bots.
Either way, no one has anything to fear.
If you haven’t seen it, watch “Master And Commander” movie with Russell Crowe.
One of the characters is an eleven year old midshipman.
According to what I’ve read, it’s a pretty accurate depiction of what warfare of that time looked like
- Comment on The infantry will advance 2 weeks ago:
You really think that Americans are going to put up with having their comforts taken away by your ongoing war? The second they are mildly inconvenienced by an IED they’ll be calling the cops and pointing out the folks they think planted it. As for the assassinations, who are you planning on killing. The top 0.01% will be behind all the barriers $1 billion can buy, while mercenary troops from around the world will be happy to come over for $5,000/month.
Also, Iraq and Afghanistan were getting support from outside. You’d have to accept money and support from Putin in order to keep going.

You only need numbers and organization.
You don’t have either.
- Comment on The infantry will advance 2 weeks ago:
So, the people who couldn’t organize to get Bernie past the DNC are going to be able to put together an actual army?
- Comment on The infantry will advance 2 weeks ago:
Explain to me in detail how you see ‘armed revolution’ playing out in 2025.
Most local police departments have armored vehicles that can handle rifle fire.
The 0.01% can hole up in Switzerland or bunkers while their mercenaries handle the rough work.
And please don’t bring up Vietnam or Afghanistan. The US today is nothing like either of those places.

Sorry about the job thing. Good luck.

Pay the $900.
I mean, ask around and find a good person, but it makes no sense to gamble with your investment.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 2 weeks ago:
Baseball players went on strike in 1972. They’d had a ‘union’ since the 1800s, but always bowed to the owners.

Very good story. Actually better than either ‘The Martian’ or ‘Project Hail Mary.’

[off topic]
In ‘The Sandman’ stories by Neil Gaiman there’s a scene where a 12,000 year old wizard is finally killed.
When he meets Death, he boasts that he had a pretty great run.
Death tells him that he got what everyone gets, a single lifetime.

This is an actual thing already.
Their take is that the Bible shows how God used weak men to do his work. If King David could kill Bathsheba’s husband and Lot could sleep with his daughters, then Trump is fine being who he is. It’s God’s plan and not for us to say…
