Yes, I’m sure if he’s fine with lying about them approving her sleeping over he’ll totally be honest about how sane they are.

There’s an inside part of a circle, too.

Not everything is shit, we’re just in a massive downturn, so all the things that suck are growing while all the things that rule are being downplayed.

There is still beauty in the world, and there is still hope. We just have to work together to make sure it isn’t buried under all the shit we see day in and day out.

No, the underneath of the day after tomorrow (night), as opposed to the above (morning, or day).

When you’re jiggling around in your pocket for it and there’s other coins in there too, it becomes harder to do.

Well, sure. Adding many variables usually makes anything harder to do. But that generally just means it takes a little more effort.

Are your hands horribly mangled or something? Am I bringing up something hard for you to deal with?

A nickel is smaller and thicker, and has a smooth edge compared to the quarter. Can you not tell the difference?

I feel we should simplify that even further by saying undermorrow.

Who said anything about angry and defensive? I said you were obsessive.

Yes, but the average persons individual efforts mean fuck all in the scheme of things. It’s not individuals that make the difference, it’s the collective effort.

Which, frankly, doesn’t mean shit in this hypothetical situation. Hypothetically you could use your infinite money to create enough carbon offsets to completely fix the climate entirely for everyone everywhere.

Obsessing about small things like that to the complete rejection of all joy in life won’t solve anything. If anything it will drive away any positive influences in your life, making you a joyless curmudgeon who can help no one.

Vacations are one incredibly small factor in the overall picture. In order to combat the negative impact we’ve had on our climate we need to fundamentally change pretty much every aspect of our lives from the top down.

And you’re free to be disappointed, but just don’t be surprised when other people think less of you for trying to ruin what little guilt-free fun people can have.

I’m assuming you’re talking about the All American, as that’s the main one I could find. About fifteen days, and $2400. Which is about as much as a three to five day cruise, depending on cruiseline.

Twice, technically. Once when it was canceled with season 5, then again with 7.

… so… like… some sort of balance?

It’s neither… and also both.

We do need to be concerned with ourselves. If we focus too much on others, we lose sight of ourselves and can fall apart. But if we don’t concern ourselves with others as well… well we get America.

It’s about balance.

The people supporting the Republicans doing this believe the Republicans are doing the right thing.

You’ll see an occasional post on social media about someone who voted for them but now regret it… but the vast vast majority continue to support them.

Sold!

There’s a reason the original reddit community banned sales pitches, and took themselves off /r/all.

The problem is he’s only making money, even his “charitable” actions are made in the interest of creating an entire environment that is more exploitative by his investments.

He did an AMA on reddit a few years ago, and when asked about his charitable ventures and investments, he mostly just made reference to teams of financiers doing “what they thought was best”.

Maybe he’s doing what he thinks is best… but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is what’s best for most people.

Frankly, his money would be best spent lobbying for progressive policies and funding candidates who fight for the working class. Everything else is a staying action at best, and “moral exploitation” at the least.

That’s basically the entire Republican platform right there.

I’d say the lack of stimulus is the scarier thing there. The world is a vast thing, and even if you could live long enough to experience everything that exists now… huge amounts of new things to experience would have been created in the mean time.

And that’s just our planet. There is a paralyzingly large amount of things to experience in the universe.
