I’m 56 and in all my years there is only one conversation I would like to redo and that was when I was 17.

My eldest brother was in another state helping his dad fix up a house. He called home around midnight and was going on about how I should take care of myself and a bunch of other stuff, he was mentally ill and it was obvious he had gone off his meds. He kept calling till like 3 in the morning and I was sick of hearing it and just wanted to go to sleep so I could make it to work in the morning.

So last time he calls he is going on for 15 min or so about “hey 1d10 don’t worry about anything, dad will take care of it, my dad will take care of it” so I kinda snaped and said "good, can I sleep now? I hung up the phone and went to sleep, less then a hour later my mom wakes me up to tell me my brother killed himself.

I didn’t go to work that morning, I didn’t go to work for a year. I just went fishing. My brother loved fishing and always tried to get me to go but I didn’t fish and never went with him. After the funeral I took his fishing gear and went fishing almost every day from dawn to dusk for an entire year.

Both of the mothers of my children quit smoking and drinking when the got pregnant.

It helps me sleep at night knowing that my sacrifices help the world’s smallest minority group lead a better life.

Every one I have forced to sit through the first 3 episodes of Red Dwarf has gone on to watch every episode and now incorporates quotes from the show in normal conversation.

I’m betting they want to spin this out until midterms then if the dems get congress and senate, Trump will walk away from Iran and blame it all on the Democrats not letting them “do what needed to be done”.

Anyone who knows how maps work knew going to war against Iran is a stupid idea, that’s why we have always used sanctions and why we were working on diplomatic resolutions under Obama, the only way to effectively attack Iran is either a compleat surprise with overwhelming force dropping a shit ton of dudes on multiple airports, or just years of what we are doing now. It’s fucking stupid and futile this is going to have a net negative effect and cost far to many lives.

But they are not one, when all the resources and tools are owned by the big companies that is when they fight each other, and for that they need cheap expendable ground troops, so ask yourself “which company do I want to fight for?” The Gaggles of Google, how about Amazon’s 6/7 mechanized infantry, or the SpaceX Xforx.

Oh it’s gonna all be memes and violence from then on, you will get paid in company money and live in company community’s, eventually the world will be devided into roughly country shaped chunks run exclusively by a single corporation or a consortium of smaller companies.

Gonna be just like the utopian sci-fi, you know Neromancer, Blade Runner, Cyberpunk, and my favorite Downbelow Station.

God the first person who does this and has an airplane see it is gonna get fucked.

“No I wasn’t trying to laze the airplane I was aiming for the flock camera”

I love the “what if you get addicted” people, I’m bipolar and actively hate taking my meds, I fucking wish I was addicted, they don’t have bad side effects and I function much better when I stay on them, but get busy and forget a dose and I’ll end up not taking any for weeks and have to force myself to take them.

Lots of people already use “book lernin” as an insult.

No idea where dude is shopping but I haven’t seen a register that didn’t show the change in the last 20 years. When I worked retail cashiers were told to never do math just put the numbers in the machine and give the customer what ever the machine says.

I’ve never been to Vegas, but from what I’ve seen how would a person even notice the addition of these trucks?

They know what it means, they are leaving room for violent christian political groups. They have already declared violent Islamic organizations as evil so by saying “secular” they literally mean any group that does not declare themselves as christian.

Considering that they are using pseudo intelligence* write the code I think the power settings is the least of our concerns.

*PI should replace AI as it is a more accurate title

I’m the opposite, with drugs I get between 5 and 10 hours of sleep, without drugs I stay awake for days (10 days is my record).Though we may be on different drugs, mine are mood stabilizers and seditives.

And every republican voter.

I’ve been driving for 35 years, I’ve had 2 speeding tickets.

I don’t drive slow I just know where Cops like to sit.

Can’t they are too small and I can only know either where they are or how fast they are.

Not with the broken system we have in place now, so many times the citizens vote for something then the politicians just change it, Americans in aggregate are not very good at understanding politics and tend to be easily swayed by anger.

Literally literally means figuratively, or literally, however figuratively literally only means figuratively.
