- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 1 week ago:
They have no authority to enforce any law. And they have no legislative powers.
Rulings have been ignored multiple times because the judiciary just has no means to enforce what the executive branch refuses to enforce

Well the children who can’t vote don’t seem to like him that much

Ok. Only 30% of us voted for him.
Is that better?

Half of us didn’t.

137 school children dead today in a drive by Tylenol attack on an ICE detention center. We’ll have word from the president when he wakes up from his nap.

- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
And that would be doable, realistically. Though there’s a bit of plastic on the bottom that would be quite difficult to replicate.
The point is they’re only useful as a currency. And really only to a society that can’t really make much. If society advances again to the point where a used bottlecap can be replicated, other systems will already have been established to make it less attractive.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
It’s almost certainly a joke but bottlecaps in a post civilization society would make a pretty decent currency, more so than gold.
They’re light, easy to carry, hard to reproduce and therefore scarce. They’re also useless for anything else. So if you happened to have a lot of caps laying around they might find their way to becoming a currency.
Gold is heavy, requires a lot of work to make it useful as a standard, and has other practical uses. Caps are actually better.
- Comment on If the US was partitioned, what new states would you want to appear? 2 weeks ago:
So fun thing about vanity, that historically refers to asking God for petty things that God would not care about.
Like winning a basketball game, or the lottery. It’s “vanity” to assume God would give a bother about things so unimportant just because YOU asked. Because whether or not you win is (theoretically) more about practice and application than divine intervention.
Though, obviously modern Americans don’t give a shit about what the words in the book actually fucking mean. They’re still likely to call it Jesusland, as likely as anything else, because even with the modern definition, they’re not likely to actually care. THEY are God’s chosen, and therefore THEY have special rules to go along with their special connection to Christ.
You may not blaspheme, though. You may not exist in their presence so long as you are not pious, upstanding, and white cis Christian. Though they wouldn’t call you cis, that’s for some reason a slur in Jesusland.

A single massive swath of Missouri River Basin, containing roughly the population of California and Texas combined.
LPT could effectively break off, form it’s own country and win the upcoming water wars alone.

I take my delusions with a side of grandeur like a responsible adult. Not healthy to have that as the main course.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 2 weeks ago:
It’s particularly bizarre this time, it seems to have infected the home cook space too, every other recipe is about maximizing protein intake. I’m not sure where the sudden obsession came from and I have yet to find anyone who can give a clear even somewhat verifiable answer.
- Comment on What if I told you that refusing to trade your life time for money is a good and respectable choice 2 weeks ago:
Let’s all his get together and make our own housing and nutrients. And if anyone shows an interest in banking we flay them alive and burn their skin while they watch.
- Comment on Obama's got jokes 3 weeks ago:
Oh come on now. Obama would never. Obama would say it like this “uhhh… Well, as, a nobel, uhh, prize winner. I can, with confidence, say that, uhhh, it will take uh TWO, at a minimum, hahaha. And remember to sign up for ACA coverage”
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 3 weeks ago:
The middle class does not exist.
Just about everybody draws a few lines around themselves, and describes everybody within them as middle class. It’s a meaningless distinction, because it means something different to everybody.
If you must work, you are working class.

- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
It’s closer to 30%.
About 80% of the biomass of the food grown for human consumption is fed to livestock as well. That may be where you’re getting that number? That’s being insanely generous. What we’re talking about is like, corn stalks, squash vines, that kind of shit. The parts of the plants humans cannot physically eat but none the less must produce to feed ourselves.
I’m sure the irony of your bullshit bingo card is completely lost on you but you haven’t said anything that strictly speaking could be interpreted as true in this thread.
- Comment on Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007 3 weeks ago:
Years and years ago I had a server with a few friends and we built a massive city populated with villagers. It got to the point where you couldn’t ever have the entire thing loaded at once because there were so many.
Then they did an update and we stopped playing and that was the last time I touched it.

I have multiple saves quite Dyson Spheres around black holes.
They were played consecutively.
I watched, while playing that game, every single episode of classic Trek, and SNW. I believe a few movies are sprinkled in there too.I only stopped playing to play Clair Obscur.

Even if you own the house and land outright, you still need to pay real estate taxes, and feed yourself. Either you have the money in the bank to cover those expenses for the rest of your life or you don’t. You can have unexpected medical expenses, houses require maintenance which is generally expensive, and transportation is still an issue.
If you have to work to live, you are working class. Full stop.
- Comment on MAGA, splitting hairs. 4 weeks ago:
This is not only wrong it’s extremely wrong.
It’s a well documented sexual dysfunction with diagnosis codes and treatment methods (really mostly coping mechanisms and therapy) and everything.
Not all people who are pedophiles rape children or consume CSM. Some people have the presence of mind to seek out help. Those people are people we can have an adult discussion about and if you want to be specific with definitions with them, fine. Be my guest.
For the people who raped minors, or consumed CSM? Literally does not fucking matter what you call them. Any discussion on exactly the right word to use is a targeted distraction from the point. You’re either willfully and knowingly engaging in that distraction, or you’re ignorant of the harm some people are trying to cause by doing so.
He’s a pedophile. Everybody that went to Epstein’s Island is a pedophile, rapist, child molester, whatever, or in the very best case complicit in those crimes.
