I let my pre-election anger and anxiety (plus a few beers) get the better of me and turn me into “the guy that argues about politics online” that I hate. So I put myself in “Time Out” until the week of The Game. I’ll be back Monday. Thanks for caring. (Except those who don’t like me below. Fuck those guys :-))

Nah.  The specific election year is debateable, but I do think the most important election(s) of our lifetimes have already happened. We’re now on a path to irreversible ecological devastation and we won’t be able to sufficiently mitigate it no matter what happens in 2020 or thereafter.  [smile emoji]

Uggghhh....politics....can’t believe there are still a lot of people that believe there is a still a difference between the two major parties.  It’s all a well rehearsed play to make it look like they are working for you, but in reality they are just getting in there cashing it in with their lobbyists, getting rich and the working class gets scewed by both parties!  Gave up on this system long ago and kept myself happy by ignoring what goes on in DC and just focusing on keeping my job and enjoying my life with my wife! I still vote but I mostly just dart board that!

For any of you still on campus: do they still post the Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) Notes newsletter on campus?  When I was there (too long ago than I'm comfortable admitting), it was almost always stacked next to Daily and was a reliable source of hilarious takes.

TRUE!!!!!!

which party is against drone strikes on humans who have had no chance at adjudication?

which party wants money out of politics (actions not words)

which party attempts to take natural corruption of bureaucracies (both governmental and corporate)

as long as we keep arguing about chicken sandwiches, we are all sheep. 

I wish Dan Carlin would get off of his ass and produce some Common Sense. 

 

Go Blue!! An institution that is trying to better the human condistion and the universe we occupy.

There are really good podcasts on Joe rogan about this. When the time comes to take carbon out of the air, some company will do it. That person will be a billionaire and may or may not sexually assault those around him/her. That problem will he resolved.  

Drum roll!

on to the next problem.

One last serious comment on this: Sorry if I offended anyone that night. I was being an asshole. Plain and simple. My silly Internet persona on here notwithstanding, I take no pleasure in being an asshole. So, apologies all around.

Now, go fuck yourselves. And GO BLUE!
