I’ve been voting. Doesn’t seem to work.

It only works in aggregate. Like how a drop of water won't quench anyone's thirst, but a 20 gallon barrel generally will.

This is why I hate group projects

One person puts in all the work

Five people don't

College in a nutshell. Fuck you steve, thanks for phoning in your part of the final.

One thing I learned early in my academic career was that if I wanted a good grade on a group project it was easier to just do everything myself.

The sooner I can fuck off to the middle of nowhere and not deal with any of you anymore the better.

I thought the system was to dump the barrel out at the top of a hill so you can proclaim how much you're doing for the thirsty person at the bottom.

Trickle down, but for voting too!

Oh, and I guess that's what Trump literally did with the water in California, except they were different hills altogether.

Have you tried the second amendment?

that's that what they call every week, when a mass shooting happens, right?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

“This is super important but will ultimately fail and you’ll have to shoot the Nazis anyway.”

Are there not Nazis in charge of our government? How was that at all mitigated and not just delayed?
