Somehow they imagine themselves the hero, but they’re the contributors to the dystopia they create. Like the evil dictators that somehow can’t understand how twisted the world is they created.

They know the price of guns.

There’s enough spineless tools and right wingnuts, just like ICE, that would be happy to pull the trigger.

Their version of Utopia is more like the movie Elysium. A separate paradise for them, the Dregs for the rest of humanity.

Baking isn’t as restrictive as most people think it is, you can do quite a bit. However, it’s a lot shorter path to failure and creating an inedible gummy mess vs maybe oversalting a steak a little.

Thinking is too shallow when it comes to this. Yes, there is absolutely the direct results: starvation, death, and malnutrition.

And for whatever reason people seem ok with that to save US $ and force the other country to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.

The shallow thinking avoids the indirect issues. The starvation leads to instability. The instability can cause war and fighting on a local level that can damage US interests and trade. It can spill over into neighboring countries causing the same issues. Increase radicalization and terrorism. They’ll blame the “West”, likely justifiably, for supporting some dictator that steps in to crush opposition yet protect the West’s interests in whatever resource they’re stripping from the country or ag product like chocolate they’re making people grind at growing and underpaying for. It could have the country(ies) switch allegiances to competitors like China. All of this can directly increase costs to the US or indirectly to the US via regional instability disrupting trade. That’s ok, they’ll just pass the cost on to consumers while business profits are protected. It beats spending any tax money on things.

This is typical reductionist and oversimplified thinking by the Right. Just punish people into changing behavior, nevermind the indirect costs.

They probably mostly voted for Trump too. But yeah, the rich guy gets the article.

I think the biggest complaint was trying to shove cortana and the 11 upgrade in everyone’s faces constantly. Once you use whatever fix you choose to remove or silence them, Win10 is fine - as long as you avoid installing other M$ services, but those aren’t 10’s fault. And disabling the few annoyances 10 has are paltry compared to what M$ is trying to force users into accepting in 11.

Holy drama.

That group of men who were probably gay yet had turbulent relations with women.

Roy Cohn had several girlfriends and apparently thought about proposing to Barbara Walters. Everything points to him being gay. He was a bullying, brilliant sociopath. Helped out significantly with McCarthyism.

Trump. Just seems to use women, talks trashy about them, but can’t seem to have a decent relationship with a single one. Narcissistic sociopath, definitely not brilliant. Anti-socialist at least.

Possibly John Wayne. Beat the crap out of women, with several relationships and wives. Loved hanging out with men (John Ford and his buddies) Rabid anti-communist, also supporting McCarthy’s Red Scare.

Wonder how many other men were internally and externally destructive thanks to being forced into society’s mold in conflict with who they really were.

Why is our government so dedicated to protecting elite their criminals and their treatment.

The question is the answer.

Ehh how often isn’t there a war in Congo?

10 print “Hello, world!”

20 goto 10

That subtle undercurrent of “Christians” that always judges you in some way indirectly. The assumption of your lacking in some way, you don’t meet whatever made up standard they have in their heads. Especially if they figure out you don’t align with their religion or politics.

Depends on the task and time. Having to get up super early to get somewhere? No problem. Slept in? My brain might take a while to spin up.

Some have no holes. Seems pretty inconvenient to use as a loom that way. Some were too small for knitting.

Op “wax on,” yours “wax off.”

The ”I work so much I don‘t have time for personal care except to inject T and go to the gym“ haircut.

Of course they are.

I would have been shocked had they not been.

I’m partial to “Vagina Eggs” myself.
