My biggest takeaway is that this guy was already in high school and still didn’t know how to budget money. From the story, since it got up to $600, it seems likely that his parents don’t know much about budgets, either, so that’s probably where he learned it.

To me, I think it looks too wide to say “don”. My guess is that it says a common typo of “don’t” like “don;t”, “don"t”, or maybe “don t”. Which is funny. “Don T” looks like it means “Donald Trump”, while “don t” is obviously a typo of “don’t”.

Japan is a shoes-off country, but they often have slippers that they wear indoors. They just change their shoes like Mr. Rogers, but with less singing.

His wife is still very attractive, but what if she wasn’t? It wouldn’t mean a goddamn thing, would it?

Beauty may be the reason why you are attracted to a person in the first place, but it’s not at the top of the list of reasons why you stay with a person.

It’s hard for me to even imagine being that shallow.

They can’t wait anyways because they do not experience the passage of time.

Maybe there’s been some update I don’t know about, but I also haven’t heard about Joe Biden being in the Epstein files, either.

Experts often say that Trump is somehow unique, but I’ve never understood that idea. If anything, he seems far less impressive to me than a typical politician, due to his constantly broadcasting his low intelligence.

Anyways, I hope he is unique, since he’s old and unhealthy. He’ll personally be out of our hair pretty soon.

The lighting in the OP is much worse than in the current image and even gives the subject red-eye.

Is there a rule against using filtered images? A red-eye filter is trivial, but it would still be a filter. But I think even most cameras do this automatically in portrait mode.

Raise the fucking drawbridge. That’s why drawbridges exist.

Maybe people use it to covertly spike other people’s food? These can affect people outside of the target audience.

Great, now I’m asleep.

Whatever bad shit I want to say about Henry Ford, at least he understood the basic idea that people could only spend the amount of money that they have or make. That’s one of the things he’s famous for is that his factory workers could buy their own Model Ts.

We now live in a stupid reality where the world is controlled by rich people who see others as slaves and who are wanting to keep slave labor in perpetuity, even when the labor doesn’t need to exist.

Assume for a moment that AI really was taking all of these types of jobs, which by the way, almost certainly includes CEOs. It would only be a matter of time before robots take those other jobs he’s talking about.

A normal human of normal intelligence would see that and conclude that people simply wouldn’t have to work anymore. And that therefore, everyone should have their basic necessities taken care of by their governments.

People would be free to do whatever they want, whether it be “humanities” work or creating things or whatever. We’re no longer constrained by the fact that our lives depend on our usefulness in jobs to the ruling class.

Only a member of that ruling class would see themselves as indispensable and others as slave labor.

First, it was a joke in response to a joke. That much should be obvious to anyone. So it has the accuracy inherent in a joke.

And second, since it was about large numbers of people, it was obviously a claim about the vast majorities and not a statement indicating, for example, that there were zero exceptions.

The offense is more in the responses than in the original comment. The comment first got many upvotes because it’s obviously a joke. But then some people with poor reading comprehension invented offense and responded like it was obvious, then everyone started acting like chickens with their heads cut off. The people who could read and think for themselves didn’t respond because it’s obviously just a stupid joke.

I never said it was.

“My son is an uninformed misogynist and has no chance to give me grandchildren. All that time raising him, wasted on a brainless loser. And now, he definitely knows a woman who supports abortion but hasn’t had one.” - That guy’s mom after reading his post, probably.

I suspect it’s even simpler than that. If you simply assume that people don’t change at all once they grow up, everything can be explained.

People are generally more selfish than we think and people lie more to fit in than we think.

Selfish people like social programs when they are young and might theoretically need help, but don’t care about taxes because they earn little.

And they dislike taxes when they are old and have salaries and resources, but don’t care about social programs because they don’t qualify.

They don’t care about politics or political parties because they really only care about themselves. They never really cared.

Others pretend to be left leaning to match their peers when they’re young and right leaning to match when they’re older. They don’t care about politics as much as fitting in.

lame-ass party

Since the time traveler would be from the future, he’d have already known that nobody went to the party.

Yes, of course. You cannot be serious. One, he’s the only male victim that I’ve heard of, and I’ve only just heard of him. Every news source talks about victims as girls or “young women.” So, every news source, even to this very day also implies that that class doesn’t exist.

When I tried to search for his story, I had to use more than one search engine to find anything. DuckDuckGo literally had zero results for “Trump ‘tent stake’”. I had to go to google.

I’m glad that you’re out there letting people know about this guy, but you know that his class is a small minority and almost unknown to the mainstream.
