Ah, but there are also tarot cards, which is spooky Occult voodoo magic. Balatro backwards might spell "Satan is Lord" in some ancient druidic script.

Every single one of my conservative family members think Nancy Pelosi is evil incarnate.

I wish she'd stop proving them right.

No, it's not.

It's an acknowledgement that there's a massive problem.

These companies are literally willing to bankrupt you to death. Their behavior is inexcusable. They profiteer off of human suffering.

We live in a country founded by people who were unhappy with the status quo and were willing to pick up a gun to change things. We shouldn't act surprised that it still happens. I don't think we should celebrate it, because it's sad that this is happening in the first place, that someone feels they need to do this. This problem is solvable, and it can be solved civilly, or it will be solved uncivilly.

I am so confused by all this. It makes me feel old.

Funko is essentialy just plastic, shitty Beanie Babies, right? They do nothing original, from what I can tell.

Friendly reminder that killing CEOs isn't the only answer. Sometimes it's throwing tea in a harbor. Or tarring and feathering a tax collector.

Just do your part.

They're just anxious to get back to the real problem, domesticated squirrels.

But would you rather be alone in the woods with a statistician or a bear?

Wonder if he was doing something genuinely good with his day or if he was on his way to a presentation with investors where they can gameplan new ways to capitalize on human suffering.

Shame, we'll never know.

There used to be a way you could download all of the Wikipedia text as a PDF. I'd pop that bad boy on a Kindle and have my own Hitchhiker's Guide.

While we're at it, let's go back to 10nm chips too. That's Intel's bread and butter. Phones get bigger every year. Why not transistors too?

This is how I feel as well.

The Democratic party has stood by at best and enabled at most. Are they better than Republicans? Yes, in that they don't actively do some things they allow Republicans to do.

A friend of mine described it as a dad (Republicans) molesting his kids. Mom (Democrats) know it's happening, but can't bring herself to do anything about it. Is mom better than dad? Technically yes?

Anyone advocating for working inside the system to change the system is hoping the person enabling your absuser finds a conscience. It won't happen.

Go no contact. Vote third party. Vote independent.
