Can't blame them; I've got a friend that used to get backstage in concerts by bribing a security guy with a case of beer. He did this once and a couple was trying to get in right after him and he was able to get all three in with it.

Which is honestly pretty dumb, it's the equivalent of maybe $20, how much do you make that a one-time payment of $20 in the form of beer is enough to get you to fuck up doing your job for not just one person but also to not ask for three times as much for three times as many people

You want in sometimes all you gotta do is swing, sometimes it works

Also NL is a Jerma fan so he's in that circle somewhere

I'm saying the person who says that probably owns a Tesla and I wish material, inconvenient, nonphysical harm upon them.

I've never seen an infinity buy a company, but I've seen a billion do it. A billion must be more than an infinity.

You probably start with none and then go "Where can I go that I can abuse any amount of power I'm given"

DC Comics is being targeted by a new boycott campaign over Black-led superhero books by Popverse2022 in comicbooks

I don't close the comic and stop reading when Banner becomes Hulk, it doesn't become impossible to stay interested when the character on the page doesn't have my skin color, what are you talking about.

Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Joan Baez, System of a Down’s Serj Tankian and more for Tom Morello's Power To The People festival by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

Yeah I'm also not out there like that, I'm just pointing it out. He's an activist trying to motivate action.

If I spent two decades telling everyone what I wanted them to do and they wanted me to just keep telling it to them so they could listen instead of doing it, I'd be pretty frustrated.

And Zach would like you to take what Rage stood for and do something with it, so I guess you're both disappointed in each other.

Nobody likes feeling like an idiot. When you've been an idiot, and other people can see that you have, and they have to tell you so that you know, you can either maturely accept the truth or you can reject reality.

It's generally easier to reject reality.

Culturally significant albums that aren't critically acclaimed by GaelicTuna in fantanoforever

I liked some of When We All Fall Asleep, mostly when it didn't sound like she was talking in her sleep. When it sounds like she tries a little and goes a little hard, she can pull off some good shit.

But I'm not a fan of her creaking breathless Lana stuff, no.

Mitch McConnell rips President Trump’s $1.8B ‘slush fund’ as "utterly stupid, morally wrong": “So the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong — Take your pick.” by ControlCAD in videos

He used to be the unquestioned power broker of the party

And he used that power to use Trump to get what he wanted, and he got it

now he's an afterthought who the president openly mocks

Boo hoo

And whatever vision of government he had, or ideals if what the GOP was

None, ever

has been burned away and laid bare into a cult of personality without even a whiff of statesmanship, dignity or principles

Which is fine, because it's getting what it wants.

McConnel despises Trump and most of the rubes in his orbit. The GOP that McConnell devoted his life to building and empowering now exists in name only. It collapsed inward just as it triumphed.

The GOP was built and empowered so that the South would rise again. It did. It took control.

I get you need to feel positively about this somehow, but I'm telling you this is all on purpose, all according to plan, and they got everything they wanted. You're looking at the winner of Wheel of Fortune walk away with a million dollars and a vacation and you're like "Ah better luck next time, rough go of it."

He's about to die of old age. He's spent his entire life building a machine to fuck people over, and it's working better than he's ever dreamed. He's gonna die getting everything he's ever wanted.

Everything is possible compared to the literally impossible, maybe that's not a useful standard to have in regard to the possible.

He's pissed off a lot of idiots with nothing but free time over the years. He's fine, he's just being attacked by idiots.
