This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they’re taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more … then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.

Make … (cough, cough, cough) … America … (cough, HACK, ACK) …Great … (cough, hack, wheeze, cough, hack)… Again

The Chinese government sitting around the phone with the US on hold …“how long should we make them wait?”

“Give them another hour, it’s already been two” (another round of belly busting laugher)

America: … (pretending to make static sounds, muffling their voice like it’s a bad connection)… WHAT’S THAT??! … we’ve got a bad connection … did you say … BOMB THEM MORE? … (keeps pretending to make static sounds)

Investors are like parasitic leeches to any business model. As soon as you add them, the business has to grow in order to satisfy the leeches who provide no benefit to the model other than to be attached to it. If you ignore the leech, they’ll drain all your lifeforce, so your only option is to satisfy them and feed them. Unfortunately, they are also ravenous creatures who are never satisfied. If you feed them a little, they’ll want more next time in an endless cycle.

Once you are infected by investors … eventually they will destroy whatever you created.

The thing that probably scared Turnip is not WWIII but rather the idea that free for all assassinations would mean that he would be one of the first to get shot at.

Angry old men … ruling the biggest countries in the world … and all of them not caring what they are going to do or not do because they’re going to be dead or senile or incapable to do anything within the next ten years.

I’ll keep repeating this because I think it’s important

Wear safety glasses

Not sunglasses, or shades or prescription glasses

Wear actual industrial rated workers safety glasses.

If you get those shots in your face, you’re going to lose an eye or both eyes. Safety glasses are designed for this kind of stuff and they actually work. It will stop those projectiles from damaging your eyes.

Cops all over the world are known to purposefully shoot people’s faces and heads. After the fact they will just argue that it didn’t happen, it was accidental, it was chaotic, it was dangerous, etc, etc … it won’t matter after the fact if you lose an eye or end up completely blind.

Wear safety glasses, they’re easy to find and easy to use.

No one in power cares what average people think … even if it is an overwhelming majority of the population

All these people in power care about is what rich wealthy people think and what corporate leaders and investors think

It’s a world run on money … not on democratic consensus.

It’s not people who can’t handle debating Gaza. It’s our corporate controlled politicians who are more beholden to money than in representing their own country.

No … Mother Earth is going to put a tariff on our lungs

It was … wait for it … Blattened!

Christians have been saying similar things for 2,000 years

Everyone likes to highlight the predictions that came true

No one ever likes to talk about the thousands of predictions that all failed to predict anything

It’s dangerous to tell people that they have no free will.

Those who do not want to think critically will just convince themselves that the world is falling apart and that they can’t do anything about it because it’s all predetermined any way.

Others take advantage of the idea of a predetermined future as a license to do whatever they please. Any terrible thing they do is not a problem to them because their actions were already predetermined, they couldn’t help it because they were destined to do these things … at least that is what they tell everyone.

I believe there is a middle ground … our biology, our environment, our genetics and the universe as a whole runs like a mechanical clock with predetermined movements … but we are provided with enough options at every movement or critical point to determine our future.

We will never be able to change how our universe works but we can choose how we can exist in that universe.

It’s like watching a toddler saying he’ll put out the fire with a bucket of gasoline

How the hell can you cheer and celebrate when you know your country is killing and starving a race of people?

US holding a big stack of Uno cards smiling that they are going to use a Wild Card and thinking they are winning … at a Poker game with adults

Sounds like someone lost $50 to a game of chess
