This clown show just keeps getting better. Fuck these fucking fuckers. Gut the largest employer in the US and see what happens to tax revenue further destroyed by tariffs that makes even the cheapest Chinese shit an unaffordable luxury.

To quote Gracchus from the movie Gladiator, "He'll bring them death and they'll love him for it."

To quote Batman" You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!"

Grifting destabilization at its finest.

What's gramma gonna do with a drone?!

Rigby, MoMo, Sauron, Tiger, Doug. I miss all of you.

GIT THA WATA!!

My wife's beloved and jovial grandfather committed suicide with a .38 revolver after a prolonged bout of health issues that left him feeling desperate and dependant on his family for care. My wife's father finds his dad dead with pistol laying next to him. After the funeral, we're going through the possessions of the estate, and seeing that pistol laying on the table and watching everyone relive that loss was just terrible.

15 years later, my wife's father dies of heart issues. Invariably, we find it again amongst her father's possessions. It compounded the feeling of loss already being felt by the sudden and unexpected death of her father.

My brother-in-law has it now and has already had one stroke. He is petty shitty at taking care of himself and we expect he won't be around too much longer. My wife and I know we get to revisit that damn gun again. Should it come to us, I'll melt it with a torch into slag and drop it into a lake to rust into nothing.

I realize that we're the last ones to know and feel what pain that weapon was at the center of. Our kids weren't even alive when it was used that way, and they'd likely see it as a family curiosity piece. That said, like our family members, it needs to be put to rest once and for all. It's been a part of too much pain.

Plan to melt the damn thing down. It has done enough harm.

Sshhhiiii...

I'm 51 and can certainly understand. It's not so much that we want anything that our kids do not want. We were just sold a bill of goods and thought that this is just what people do. Yes, it seems infantile now, but no more so than anyone else taking for granted the lessons of life that surround them and learning that more choices exist along the way than we realized. In essence, a form of long-con normalcy bias. We were indoctrinated and change is hard.

The world is much different now than when we were young adults and children, and some of us can't help but feel sad that it was all just farcical fairytale. That said, I can promise that we're more sad that we've had to educate ourselves to these truths and we were, in effect, duped by our own well-meaning, but equally clueless, elders. The saddest truth is watching our kids deal with the effects of the transitional lessons we witnessed coming to fruition.

Please understand, I'm not trying to argue your valid point. I just thought to offer a perspective gained over time and maybe some sympathy for the devil. Not all of us set out to be the villains, whether or not that's the mantle we get to wear.

Been through this. It's weird.

Bigga what?

Sounds like my chest hair. It's just the one.

Did you bring enough for the rest of the class?
