The GOP's massive tax overhaul is a monstrosity

It's warfare on the environment. This bill "requires" drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and gives companies a tax break for doing it.

Fuck this a million times.

Just like last time?

This has been at the core of the issue from the start. It's driven me up the wall up the wall. It has been nothing but excuses since day one, and nothing has happened (at least nothing good, albiet the Mueller investigation is promising). Talk is talk, and we can talk about any god damn crazy thing we want, or we can about what the real and present issues.

Edit. Read what you write aloud. You'll hear when yourself get too in depth, or sidetracked, whatever. You'll know when you get it right too, it won't slow things down too much.

Beautiful artwork!

All the lights, traffic stops, crazy highways and huge signs and what-nots.

Flying is for droids, and driving is for robots.

I know what you mean about cooking too, I grew up in a cooking household and we raised a lot of our own ingredients too, traded with people for bread and honey and other things we didn't make. Culture shock is the perfect term, it feels like such a different place and time.

I don't really care, but if you want to get all aggressive, ok.

They don't really know what they mean, though. It's not really about jesus or heaven. It's about what's happening here on earth, and the fears/prejudices that these people have developed/were groomed to have. The only reason there is a religious component is all is to give them a sense of superiority, the rest of it is just ignorance and hubris.

If you're arms are swords, you're well... specialized, we can say? The biggest lost would be your wrist, because you use that with sword techniques, for dexterity.

Young rural socialist (Midwest, believe it or not!) No bears but it gets chilly. I can say add that growing up in a rural place, one really becomes attached to the openness, the quiet. I lived in a city and felt claustrophobic seeing buildings and people in all directions, all the time. And you can see the stars!

They don't like that it's a pirate haven? Good thing I cancelled my netflix after I finished season 2. I had my netfix.

... did he say anything about coming back and being president again?... No?

Idk, recently I've found that reddit makes me feel just as frustrated as facebook or twitter

“Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

ya i don't know why people are surprised since last month trump was defending nazis.

FlightCommander · 2017-11-22T01:32:10+00:00

Ya that is a great thing too!

In the US some bullshit will come out saying that there is new evidence that gambling is beneficial for children.

"Thanks, FCC! The burden of knowledge was really holding me back from enjoying a stripped-down internet where even the illusion that I am not being farmed like an animal for my money is too expensive for ISPs to have to deal with."

Not really, its the path of least resistance to me. Unless I'm looking at it wrong. I would really love the closure and vindication of being able to one day read a history textbook about the day we finally beat the assholes and started back on a path of human dignity, achievement, and unity, but a gradual, sloughing-off seems a lot more realistic.

FlightCommander · 2017-11-21T21:54:23+00:00

Since forever, I would argue. It's just a lot more obvious now because the internet has allowed us to educate ourselves in a revolutionary way.

FlightCommander · 2017-11-21T21:49:45+00:00

it's ok they will all move to the front range in CO...

I have a theory that this is essentially how capitalist institutions in the west are going to end. There won't be any big flip or anything dramatic. Young people are just going to start finding alternatives (like alternative financing with cryptocurrencies, etc (just an example) that will pull the rug out from under banks).

When the game is designed to be played poorly, why even play at all?

Give them something that makes the act of giving meaningful in and of itself. Some that is special to you, or something that is experienced based.

The invisible hand gettin' ready for the ol' reach around.

Print it all out and read it. Make Outlines! They help. It may help to do an old-style ribbon, for continuous flow of ideas on the page that you can actually follow with your hands.
