-Capitalists buy your company and gut it to line their pockets

“How could the radical left do this to us?”

Terrible joke, I sentence you to exile.

No no no, hope that it’s long. Hope that he lives out his term, getting increasingly feeble, bungling the real powers’ carefully laid plans and destroying the morale of his fascist fans who have to sieg heil a pathetic invalid.

An old demented dictator, too stubborn to step down, is honestly probably the best case scenario at this point. If he dies, he just gets replaced by boring, competent fascists.

Figure out what you want to have done looking back from your deathbed, and work backwards from there. Literally just imagine you’re old, at death’s door, reflecting on your life. Really try to get into the role. Take some time with it, be thoughtful, don’t just rush to an answer.

Whatever you think old-you would wish you’d’ve done at this age, do that. Spending more time in nature, exercising, reading more, connecting with other people, helping the less fortunate, whatever.

Yeah but thousands of pushups take longer. I can eat fries while I’m doing other things

I was born and raised here, but I’ve always had an affinity for my grandfather’s ancestry in the UK.

I intend to stay here and fight for my homeland, but if things are at an obviously insurmountable point and I have to fall back, I wouldn’t mind my grandfather’s homeland.

My knees are creaking

French fries obviously. I can exercise to make up for it.

Just go to Steak n Shake for those skinny fries.

left and right is a meaningless distinction

Not really, there are fundamental differences.

the politicians on each side

There are only like, half a dozen politicians on the left, tops. Maybe you’re confusing Democrats for the left? They are very much not.

Damn Daniel? That was like 10 years after all the rest.

Only pedantically. Economic systems have to run on something, whatever that something is will flow to the top.

General media literacy is pretty nice.

He’s not dead, his corporal form has released its grip on him, so he could meld once more into the dao.

Where… where were the glasses?

America is soft on white collar crime. It’s tough as nails on anyone with a net worth under 7 figures.

I always thought the brain was more like a dump truck.

Technically, the first time was me misdialing my mom at work. Her number was 91x-1yyy, and I missed the x.

The first time I intentionally dialed 911 was to alert them of a dead deer or something in the middle of the road that I almost hit. Probably should’ve used the non-emergency line, but 911 is a lot easier to dial while driving.

No, you can’t. You literally can’t think of a third explanation. I know, I tried. Everything you can think of reduces to one of the two.

You don’t have to admit it, just actually take the time in private to think about consciousness and what it could possibly be, actually give it a shot. I’m certain you can’t think of a third alternative, there isn’t one.

But if you can think of an alternative, I’d love to hear it. I’ve devoted a great deal of study to the topic, and I’d love a new legitimate perspective.
