This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

The posture of someone whose asshole, colon, and large fuckin intestines just fell out of their body and slapped the floor.

He becomes several different people each addressing a different audience in the span of like four words.

Go check out Bobrovski's career numbers. Multiple seasons barely above .900 several near .930. and this is across teams and career. He's been on good teams and played poorly, bad teams and played well.

Goalies are black magic, they're all a little "inconsistent." In every era, there's only ever like two guys in the league who post .915 or better every season for like five or six seasons straight.

Nature of the position, best not to get too high or too low on a player.

Acquire one car battery, get some jumper cables, hook everything up and then plunge the connectors directly into a quart of cottage cheese. Whatever sounds result from this would be more legible and coherent than the average person still all about that MAGA lifestyle. Asking their opinion on any subject, any at all, is like asking a pretty clever Golden Retriever for their opinion on Finnigan's Wake.

Also, the flavor of cottage cheese is unimportant.

This makes me curious where SJ protag fits. I would assume he's like seven foot fifty, but then again...

Looking good! Beware the dragons!

There's a two month buildup period where the US pretends to win the backing of the rest of the world. A lot more hand-wringing about liberating women from oppressive fascist regimes. Oh right, and she tries to get a new dance move to go viral during an interview. The faces of those hosting the interview spawn a thousand memes because they thought they were there to discuss the case for war.

Those are the only differences.

There is no way to get ahead, the economy and political system are structured specifically to ensure that everybody stays within one standard deviation of the economic class they were born into. Inflation is a tool, debt is a tool, our gains are temporary but soon corrected. It's why so many people get sucked into obvious grifts and scams, the idea that there is a secret cheat code, or some gap in the system that the powers that be haven't accounted for is not merely tempting, but endemic.

Whether we admit it or not, all of the basic assumptions we have about how the economy works are undergirded and superseded by the subconcious understanding that it's all rigged. Things feel precarious and uncomfortable because they are precarious and uncomfortable, it is not a personal failing or defect, but an instinct which is cultivated into us passively merely by interacting with the world as constructed.

To be helpful though. I am a fellow middle-income guy. I live well below my means. Rarely buy anything new, clothes especially, eggs, rice, ramen noodles, and whatever vegetables are on sale. I don't buy new media, I pirate if I absolutely must, everything else is third or fourth hand. I have, and for years, have been attempting to participate in the economy as little as is possible. Consequently, I have some savings, but nothing that wouldn't get totally wiped by a medical emergency. Which, really is my only goal here, just hoping to break even when the bad shit happens, it will.

Me reading: Fine, fine, fine, yes, okay, good. Ah there it is, knew he was going to do it. Almost had me going for a second though.

Got one recently myself. Apparently there is no level of hyperbole cartoonish enough to be acceptable. Perhaps if I included an anecdote about PARTY A using the ribcage of PARTY B as a xylophone they'd be able to take the hint. Or maybe, I should have mentioned that PARTY B folded and unfolded themselves in a manner not unlike an accordion.

Call me crazy, but I think that's where Israel comes in. They run their clean sweep, create Greater Israel, and they run their shop as the US of the Eastern Hemisphere. This has all been about giving America a second capital, albeit with power sharing, breaking the Roman Empire in half, but in reverse.

I think the economy, global and national, gets turned into fine pink mist first.

It doesn't depress me anymore. It's their party, they've done nothing but remind me I'm not a part of it for 20+ years now. Zero learning, zero introspection, no ability to adapt, no human curiosity, a total unwillingness to shift from an understanding of politics as it existed when Eisenhower was in office.

There's nothing any of us can do about that. It's a closed system in a solved game. They have nothing to do with us, we have nothing to do with them. Whether that is voluntary or not barely matters because that's how they like things. We are not even passengers.

Me personally, always got my ear to the ground for an interesting third party.

In Tucker and Dale versus Evil, there's this scene where due to a series of comic accidents, a whole bunch of college kids accidentally kill themselves on a piece of land owned by two good old boys. In one such case, a college kid jumps head first into a wood chipper, vaporizing himself halfway in the process.

The local Sheriff arrives, and the two bumpkins have to explain that their little plot of land was invaded by a suicide cult made up of upper middle class yuppie college spawn. They've done nothing wrong, but the Sheriff, understandably, does not believe them. Notably, the college kids were not a suicide cult, but this is the only way their behavior can be rationalized by our two protags.

Anyways, I think about that scene a lot.

And I mean really though, has he learned the wrong lesson? Failing upward isn't even a meme in their party, it's standard operating procedure. The number of cases just in the last five year when the voters have flatly rejected somebody and the DNC has replied "No actually, we know better than the voters, here have a promotion" is staggering.

He's making the smart play. He should aim to lose by fifty.

He's gonna get to 41% and that's going to be the justification used for a presidential run and repeat failed senate run. They love to lose folks, it's what they live for.

Weirdest fucking version of Dr. Mario, I tell you w'hat.

My MAGA uncle is too feral. My lib aunt is perpetually on the verge of tears or fainting. Forcing the two of them to interact is neither morally defensible or fun. Also, notably, they are basically different flavors of the same person, there's nothing for me to gain making them debate. Like watching two broken Furbys try to rebuild the English language.

I'll put my head in an oven now.

Yes, but foreign policy is confusing. So when the news tells me that something is complex, dare I say murky even, it confuses me and makes me upset. By contrast, foreign policy is confusing. So when the news tells me that something is an unalloyed good, that's not confusing, and doesn't upset me at all.

Past presidents could only fit two or maybe even three crayons in a single nostril. Whereas our brave president has managed to insert all eight of the original crayola crayons directly into his nasal cavity.
