    We need to appropriate this image and post it every time an airplane crashes or eggs go up 0.25.

    Every time they fire a critical public safety team then scramble to try to rehire them.

    This needs to be our image now.

      If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what’s happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?

      Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you’re subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn’t something that heals you, it’s the changes you make after the trip that matter.

      Also, I’m kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don’t.

    You can have a democratically elected king. It’s only not a democracy when the king decides who takes the throne after them, instead of having an election. We have a Democratic Kingdom, say it with me phonetically -Dema-kratik-king-dumb-. Did we want this? I dont fuckin know… a majority kept voting for it so we the people must have fuckin wanted it. What is dead however, is the republic. Ain’t no one representing you, you just vote people into a throne.

            I was full of sympathy for that kid until I found out he’s possibly been torturing and killing animals. From his supposed former behavioral therapist. It seems like he might have been lying though. He does have a photo of him with Barron and some other kids. I’m not going to link because I don’t have to spread possible misinformation.

            I don’t know what to think. I hate living in the post-truth world.

              The sad part for me was hearing his “I like my sootcase” viral clip. That kid has a strong Slovenian accent, and the only person around him with that accent is his mother. Even if she was his primary caretaker, his accent would have been dulled by the fact that he’s around so many Americans with American accents… But nope, that accent is every bit as strong as his mother’s. The poor kid likely never gets attention from anyone except Melania. He has almost certainly been isolated from everyone around him for a long time, because he has really only picked up on his mother’s accent.

              And that kind of isolation will wreak havoc on a developing child.

        Just so you’re aware, people aren’t downvoting “to show you.” They’re downvoting because your comment is stupid. You can try to make yourself think the downvotes are actual validation if you want, but they aren’t. It’s people who think you’re an idiot. Whether it happens are not, it isn’t because there’s no one in the US (or world) who isn’t a pussy who’d be willing to do it. There’s plenty of reasons people won’t/haven’t/shouldn’t assassinate him.

        If American democracy still exists in four years, he won’t be eligible to run in the next election to begin with.

        If it doesn’t, voting him out obviously wouldn’t work.

      Same reason congestion pricing is hated everywhere until it’s implemented and people start seeing the benefits, people are cheap. Coincidentally also the reason congestion pricing works so well at regulating demand for a road and improving conditions.

        The stupidest part to me is that toll roads work this way and are wildly popular with conservatives. They’re just angry it’s a public thing and that it’s for public transportation support and not to make some private company money.

          Thing is…this is just another toll. It bills you the same as all the other tolls in the city. They just gave it a different name. That’s it. In the first days, people were bitching because they took the trains and the busses, but everyone who isn’t an asshole (those of us who don’t drive) didn’t even realize it took effect and everyone was like “woah, what’s going on? Is it a holiday? It was so quiet on my way to work. It was awesome.”

      Cars checks all the boxes to them - helps with segregation, creates demand for oil, multiple vectors for environmental destruction, weird nostalgia and culture war fodder, another subsidy for rural/suburban voters, and it’s the embodiment of not giving a shit about anyone else’s and being a big boy. But yeah each of the individual factors boils down to spite.
