But like, if you were running for president and about to speak to a crowd you'd probably low key phone half-pull and google the name and do the glance, right? Like 'what city am I even in' type shit, Trump is beyond dumb

My only interpretation is that Trump is basically senile grandpa at thanksgiving dinner making a gay jab at someone for having 2 pierced ears. I don't even get how he could genuinely and sincerely mix this up

I've never been rear ended but then I bought my G37 and it was suddenly happening on a yearly basis. In the span of one year, I had a truck back into it when it was parked in our parking lot, got rear ended in traffic, then had a car reverse into me at a stop sign (driver pulled forward to make a turn but decided they couldn't make it so threw it in reverse and gunned it). I may have been rear ended a second time that year but it's hard to keep track of how many people drove into this car. After a while I quit making claims because that was a pain in the ass, bumpers look like I use it to nudge cars around a junkyard.

Edit: and the thing that makes the frequency really wild is that I used it mainly to commute ~2 miles to work, so I was in that thing less than 30 minutes a day

Advisors in meeting: "We have a clear path to 270 as long as they focus on single issue voters who care most ab-"

Trump interrupts everyone to talk about how boring this meeting is, invites everyone to order McDonald's with him.

JD rubs chin pensively, thinking about a single issue to focus on, something easy which does not involve walking into a donut shop

JD has a really weird fixation on cats. Cat ladies, grilling cats, cats cats cats. Has JD ever bummed a cat? We'll never know but it makes me wonder

The day of a new patch in WoW I said in general chat "wow, they finally put a confirmation when you type /gquit , crazy how long it took" and sit in town and watch peoples guild names disappear

Be me, have a circadian rhythm disorder, pop some gummies and trazodone and play Switch in bed until brain shuts off, spend 10 nights wandering around Gnoll Stronghold in Baldur's Gate 1 trying to help Minsc find Dynaheir before I crash. Wander around everywhere multiple times, wtf, did she die of boredom? Finally decide to turn screen brightness up. She right there. Gnolls quit spawning, placed on endangered species list

Elon Musk's mind: "I'm so busy and devoted to my goals that I fall asleep on factory floors and office couches"

Everyone else: No, you have acquired narcolepsy from spending 16 hours a day shitposting

You'd have to determine when the camera turns on in order to determine when it shuts off. If it's 30 on 10 off, you stay still for >40 seconds to ensure the camera is idle and ready to record, and then you spin, you can ensure camera turns on at your spinning, and then you know it'll shut off on your 30 seconds, and you're totally synced to the 40s cycle

The problem isn't scarcity in resources or lack of available work, the problem is that everything is zero sum and resources wind up locked out because there are a couple hundred assholes that look at numbers on a screen like it's the only thing that validates their existence.

People are starving and can't buy houses because people like Bezos or whoever have 20,000 million dollars they'll never use sitting in some bank account they forgot about, but they need more, so they disenfranchise the class that brings them wealth.

Less jobs = better margins, but that all rests on the assumption that people absolutely must work full time and for the lowest bid

We all may as well grab shovels and bury the wealth of the Earth in a big hole in the ground because that's what happens when we inflate the worth of the wealthy. Resources just vanish into the ether
