  • "goddamnit they’re lying primaries again. Pack it up let’s get out of here.’

    ‘no crabs??’

    ‘no they’re bald fucking monkeys again. These ones LIE.’

    “We’ve got some crabs…”

    ‘OH SURE. YOU’VE GOT CRABS AND THEY HAVEN’T TAKEN OVER THE PLANET YET. RIIIIIIGHT. FUCK OFF PRIMATE.’








  • I used to love using a rowing machine.

    After having lost a significant amount of weight, I no longer have the necessary padding in my ass and sitting on one, especially leaning back is excruciating due to a common problem among obese people. My tail bone is permanently fucked.

    Never get fat friends. Some things your body recovers from as you lose weight, some things you carry forever.










  • I your Aunt and Uncle are probably lovely people. They’re trying to survive in the same system we’re all stuck in.

    Ask yourself this, who is paying the mortgage on those properties? If the renters can afford the rent, they can afford the mortgage and then some. Your aunt and uncle, and all landlords, are collecting a premium on housing, what do they actually provide? If they’re trying to save for retirement, by renting homes, who’s actually paying for their retirement? Will those people be about to afford to retire if they’re spending so much on rent? They’ll end up with nothing when they leave. Your aunt and uncle will still have 3 to 5 extra properties.

    They own suburban townhomes, in some cases you find a renter who’d rather not own a home. In most cases, the market has progressed to a point where home ownership is impossible because people are hoarding homes and withholding access for rent.

    It’s an unethical system. Your aunt and uncle are small line landlords and a symptom of a larger problem. They’re participating in an unethical system to gain an advantage, and it’s hard to blame them for that. That doesn’t make it ethical, or good.

    Jefferson said he “participated in a broken system that he hated.” In reference to slavery. He actively tried to reform that system and was rebuffed. He’s still seen as a slave holding landed gentry today, and it remains a black spot on his (admittedly spotty) legacy. How are the people who owned 3 to 5 slaves different from those who owned 50? How are they compared to those who could afford and benefit to own slaves, and still advocated for abolition?



  • Nonsense. I oppose the death penalty for almost all crimes. It’s just too easy to render an inaccurate verdict, and you can’t undo an execution.

    But we don’t have any doubt about billionaires. They’re verifiably guilty beyond any shadow of a doubt.

    I also think they should be able to avoid the death penalty by giving up their wealth and living on minimum wage for a number of years equal to the number of billions they captured and withheld from society.

    It’s always funny to me to watch single people who have been skinny their entire life try to coach the world on how to be like them.

    There is an entire world outside of your little shell, very few people will fit in to the narrow view of the world you have and those that do don’t need your advice, they already look and eat like you.

    There are myriad luxuries that contribute to your, apparently quite successful lifestyle. Had you actually encountered the hardships you claim to be able to resolve with some fucking oats, you’d be able to grasp the true depths of how idiotic the suggestion is.

    I congratulate you on your success, but please shut up. The poors are in no further need of out of touch advice, they get plenty.
