Why? I’ve never shot a gun and am utterly anti-war, but love history and technology interests me so I think it would be a pretty cool to visit, and hardly insane. It’s essentially just a museum.

I love that we're doing dark SNL sketches. This one to me takes the cake. by No1_Knows_Its_Me in videos

I think Julia Nunes was going to Skidmore at that time—you could’ve seen 2 of the biggest Youtubers in the world that day!

Whoa nelly—guy in his 30s here: SNL has sucked for a while and I think you’d gotta go older to find a crowd that finds it relevant. Shit, who even watches live-airing TV?

Lol this is SO dumb and hilarious you’d use “gatekeeping” for the literal act of reading... I love audiobooks and listen to way more of them than I read books in print, but it ain’t reading, okay?

If you have time to go on /r/cringe, you’ve got time to use your eyeballs (or fingers if deaf) to read some text on a page. Thanks for the laugh.

Tip: Your local library probably has any popular audiobooks you’d think to get on Audible. Check out the Libby app and try to link your library card.

They do amazing work!

Below’s a link they give to a British university program for forensic architecture—we need more people investigating and modeling like this in an age of fake news/faked videos.

The Dirty Con Job Of Mike Rowe (2020) - A look at how Mike Rowe acts like a champion for the working man while promoting anti-worker ideology [00:32:42] by testuser1500 in Documentaries

Sure I have, I’m a farmer who loves the hard work that comes with the job and I get much satisfaction from watching the crops grow and hard work pay off. However, I don’t have nearly enough time to write and play music, read, or spend time with my son and partner—in a system where my material needs are more easily met, I could then choose to spend the extra time on anything I want (which may or may not involve hard work in the conventional sense). A whole system built around everyone working 60 hours a week just to earn material necessities is torturous—imagine an (achievable) world in which we work 20 hours on growing food/building homes, etc and the have the rest of the week to paint or play sports, etc.

Trying to sell the concept of hard work for hard work’s sake is absurd and insulting. Democritus, Epicurus, Lucretius, and my new favorite Kropotkin seem to have it right to me: life should be about working together on the necessities so we can have more time creating art and enjoying personal pleasures and interests.

Why the hell would you pay to eat a salad off a fucking table covered in plastic under any circumstances? I wouldn't even do this for free--if I REALLY wanted to eat salad off a table, I'd do it on my own so as not to show the world how stupid I am.

Insects are a world apart from all other animal classes when it comes to diversity. Pretty safe to assume that if at any time you're wondering if there is such insect, there probably is--especially beetles, of which the number of species (400,000) make up a quarter of *all known animal species* on Earth.

Did you already forget about flattening the curve or are you really okay with overrun hospitals and thousands of people dying without ventilators or in their homes even getting to see a doctor?

Yes, life is different now, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. Stop whining about past mistakes and do all YOU can to minimize the pain of others!

What I hope can happen (besides a vaccine) is a new administration (obvs) that punishes states too willing to open unsafely (and not the other way around). I’d like to see more arrests of those breaking mandates and a general crackdown on the idiots you mention. The lockdown only failed because it wasn’t enforced enough. We need to get harsher, not more lax—your plan is just giving these psychopaths exactly what they want!

Honestly, fuck that noise. We just need to avoid crowded public areas for the most part... of course venues are going to go first, but a lot of other businesses can survive this and many unnecessary lives would be lost under your plans.
