Somebody call a doctor... oh, wait...

Here's the thing. Would I trust any of them to have my back? Nope. Not a single one. So, yeah, they want to change? Good for them, they are welcome to join the right side of history. I'm not ever going to trust them, though. I won't ever believe that they'll vote for the best interests of the species. They can live out their lives trying to be a better person and doing the right thing. That makes them an average human. If the suffering they cause comes out to a net zero by the end, then they get to have a grave I won't piss on. However, if the only way they can be a good person is to blame someone else for lying to them, instead of assuming any personal responsibility, I don't have much faith they are gonna break even.

Blame anyone but yourself. That's the American way!

There was the time I got attacked to death by an invincible squirrel. Also that time a Platinum Angel whispered in my ear that I wasn't allowed to have fun anymore.

My favorite: "I'm only 10 years older than you, but it's not weird."

Reviews aren't great, but they are performance based. Game runs fine for me and I'm having a blast.

It's Lake O. I can't say that it was targeted, but you can't throw a rock without hitting a rich asshole in that part of town.

If it quacks like a cunt...

They are allowed to join in and fix things. They shouldn't do it for an attaboy, though. You talk about the information that they've been given as though they only have the one source. Willfully ingesting poison is suicide. They keep going back to the same fear mongering news sources that spout the same shit. Why? Because fear and hatred feel so fucking good. Oh, god. Like an orgasm for the soul. I'm persecuted, but look at me, I'm still standing. So, yeah, I'll shut the fuck up. This will be my last message. But don't make it like these fucks are the victims. They are the ones doing it to themselves. Go read a Reuters article. Check out NPR. Give APNews a glance. OAN and Joe Rogan are fucking toxins. They have all the tools at their disposal, but they refuse to use them.

Wait. It's a music thing? I was so exited there were submechanophilia parties in LA.

You make the argument that this is all a new concept for people. That the issue of gay marriage or whatever is on the chopping block this week, is something that is a new topic. These topics have been at the forefront of conversation for decades now. And even if you somehow haven't been subject to the talking heads on every media outlet for the last 50 years, there is a level of common sense that I think is necessary to even walk upright that tells you, "Hey, these people should be able to marry whoever they want, because it has zero effect on my life."

Critical thinking is at an all time low. No one has been thinking for themselves in decades, it seems, and when there are consequences for their actions, they just think a half-assed apology is enough to get the job done, and they go one with their lives like nothing was ever wrong. I'm done with it. I'm done with the people that think that way. I don't have a place for them in my world. I don't want them near me, I don't want them interacting with me, and I don't want them to infect others with their disease.

Everyone has a right to live and a right to think what they want to think, but if you are wrong, then you are wrong, and if you continue to be wrong despite all of the evidence to the contrary, then you are a detriment to this species, and your role has to be minimized. I'm not going to advocate for taking away the rights of people I don't agree with, but I'm also sure as hell not going to welcome them with open arms when they finally decide to come around. They can continue to live their lives, and they can do the right thing from here on out, but being an asshole that suddenly gets it right doesn't get a pat on the back. It get's a shrug as I continue on my way. I've already wasted enough time and effort on changing hearts and minds. If they haven't got it by now, then I don't care if they ever do.

There are others out there that need my help more than the hillbilly lifelong GOP voter. They can fend for themselves. I'm not going to waste a breath on them when I am too busy fixing all of the shit they've been breaking. If they want to do good, great, get a hammer and some nails and get to work. If they don't, fine, just stop kicking out the supports we are trying to build to keep everyone else safe. Being a good person doesn't get a participation trophy. It doesn't even get weekends off. It's the baseline. It's the expectation. If they can't meet it, kick rocks.
