    I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.

    “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,” the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, “and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it…”

  • Yeah because a magic border makes it so that things don’t affect all of us. Isn’t that wonderful?

    I legit don’t understand how anyone can think so small.

    If a fire starts in a city where everyone has your attitude, how long before it all burns down?

    Whether we like it or not, borders aren’t magical lines that protect us from the damage done behind one of those lines. Humanity is responsible for the wellbeing of humanity. No silly little line is going to change that.

    Imagine the consequences we’d still be suffering (yes, we. All of us) if the US hadn’t joined in WWII.

    I honestly don’t understand how anyone can think of their fellow humans as parasites. We’re all in this together. One big ego with enough support can destroy all of our lives and throw us back into the dark ages.

    We have thousands of years of history to guide us. Look into it.

    My god I wish we didn’t put getting resources into every aspect of everything we do. “Well, this is neat, but we can’t buy that new 400k TV with it so, garbage can it is. The next one will get us the luxury that finally makes us happy. Did you see my new collectible? It’s valuable!”

    When we create artificial life, honest to god actual artificial life that can run on sunlight alone, then and only then can we step outside of this resource collecting, bullshit reality.

    Well, that or Star Trek replicators that run on something like grass and weeds. No need to compete then, just grow and learn. That is if we can escape our evolutionarily need to collect and hoard resources.

    Gettin’ yo shit and bangin’ yo bitch needs to be meaningless for us to really become something special. I know that sounds silly, but I can’t survive without yo money, thrive without yo protection, or reproduce without yo bitch. So what am I gonna do?

    Haha. Please don’t take me too seriously. I’m a comeenuhnun. Comeeduhnun. Comedian.



  • I had an amazing collection of Dreamcast games. I paid squat for them. Nobody wanted them and I got them all for next to nothing at a local game shop. Games that are very rare today, I paid like 6 bucks for.

    My best friend and I played regularly when we were roommates in the mid 2000s.

    He got married and moved out. One day he said, “Hey bro, can I borrow your Dreamcast and games so I can play them and bond with my stepson?” “Sure man, just take care of them.”

    I heard from a mutual friend that he moved so I called him and asked him about my Dreamcast. “Oh I’m sorry bro, it got left at the old place and I have no idea what happened to it.”

    I still randomly have a desire to go to his house and ask him to show me something he takes pride in and then break it before his eyes.

    We’re talking thousands of dollars now. Grrrr. Not that I’d sell them, but that’s part of why I’m so damn angry about it.
