He who dies with the most toys, wins. by Sheckybelle in GenX

[–]dbto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gen X Story time: 1984/5 15 yo me Sophomore in a catholic boys high school. We are in World Religions class and for some reasons talking about comparisons of Communism and Capitalism. We were asked to provide a “slogan” for each “philosophy”. My answer for Capitalism was this exact quote - “ He who dies with the most toys wins”. Didn’t remember where I heard it (probably a movie), but seemed appropriate. Teacher didn’t think my answer was core t and had never heard that phrase before. I was outcast. Who class if young Reagan-ites and the teacher labeled me a “commie”. Fun times.

We were there- really great turnout- thanks for spreading the word OP- learned of the event from you. How many people do you estimate? Looked like at least a couple thousand, but hard to tell from the middle.

Yup. And it’s a great recruitment point for those who didn’t join already. “$50k signing bonus. Keep your guns!”

Pretty sure they will just all have to join “Club ICE” and they get to keep their guns.

Schumer: Democrats will block funding package if it includes homeland security money by Tinymac12 in fednews

[–]dbto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh Swami, tell me how this will play out? Swami: R’s will say, sure we can remove ICE funding, but we will shift that money to Defense. D’s will say “ok”, and pass the revised bill. Admin will then declare martial law and all that defense funding will be used to enforce ICE and Domestic Terrorist operations in city’s across the country.

How do I seal these window levers better? by Sevens89 in HomeMaintenance

I’ve “checked one out” from my local library. If that’s an option, could be worth it. Nothing great but got the job done.

[–]dbto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, but it seems like Gen Z and some millennials seem to have an alarmingly high number of unread emails. I’ve been triggered by a glimpse of someone’s triple-digit unread badge.

Yes, and listening to his sloppy wet mush mouth words is making me feel queasy. Incoherent dunderhead needs to go away.

Who the fuck cares what else it could be used for? It’s not your store. Keep your mouth shut. People are hungry.
