If you wanna save money from buying Gatorade? Sprinkle a tad bit of salt in tap water. That’s the amount of electrolytes the average person uses. If you need a little flavor the squirt a bit of mio.

Because it’s cheaper to bribe officials to make the locals pay for it.

No, they’re still for small government…as in they close down a tightly regulated and budgeted govt agency to outsource it to their buddies private company which exists solely to generate a profit.

I love it when they consider themselves instantly smarter than anyone else solely because they’re an atheist. I love it when they call themselves free thinkers yet they all share the same 7 talking points as to why. And they lose their shit if you challenge any of them.

Even back when my PC still had a disc drive, even compatibility mode wouldn’t let it function

Hey, check CIA-backed coups 40-80 years and how those countries turned out in the last 25 years

Hiring of Nazis after WWII, after inspiring them before WWII.

Don’t leave out Unit 731, where they did shit that would make the Nazi’s look like Jr high science experiments by comparison…who were given the exact same deals as Paperclipped Nazis

Like I told the VP who marked every single email as High Importance…when everything is important, nothing is important

Used a LOT for connections in spacecraft and satellites because of its high conductivity/no corrosion properties

Common sense is like deodorant, the people who need it most don’t use it.

SingleMalt is a type of scotch

Maybe that calendar wasn’t the end of the world, just when the end started.

Anyone who says otherwise is selling something

Yep, we’re already last the tipping point. Enjoy what ya got while it still exists because we are fucked

Do what I do. Stockpile stuff to get through the first 2-4 weeks. But have your house sabotaged in such a way that anything useful to anyone is destroyed, eat a fistful of sleeping pills and a deadmans switch to burn the whole thing down.

That’s why I had to stop watching The Boys in one of the middle seasons. It got waaay too real with the shit going on.

He was threatened with contempt of court a dozen or so times he kept falling asleep when he was convicted of all those felonies.

His first round of tarrifs in the first term included exemptions for businesess his family runs.

That was probably me because I was heavy in Reddit before the API fiasco 🤣

I wrote a short story over a decade ago about how a Galactic Consortium has been monitoring Earth for possible inclusion. The alien ambassador gets on all screans and devices, simulcasting to the entire world that they monitor and evaluate potential planets to see if they’re fit to join, a process usually taking over 10 years. They deemed us unworthy in less than half the time because there were 12 people on the planet with the wealth and resources to end starvation and suffering for the entire population, yet they’d rather burn & destroy 1/3 of the planet to accumulate more wealth instead…and it goes on like that for a bit. But he said that they’ll quarantine the planet, and if we attempt to break that quarantine they’ll destroy us. Then goes on to mention they have only encountered 1 race like us in their thousand years of existence…and that race attempted to build weapons to conquer them, but ended up destroying themselves in the process because of their petty tribal feuds.

I wish I’d saved that somewhere
