It appeals to those who love both Trump and Marcus Aurelius

A Venn Digram one would not expect to overlap - but the absurdities of American Culture (and by virtue of Americas love of Hannibal Lecter) - there is an intersection

Btw: been replaying MGS4 (the best Middle East shooter) - and while the β€œnano bots” was not predictive of our times - the nano bots being monitored by ai and filtering images people see and data people report using Ai was a slam dunk!

Wild ass game

We got a house with them installed and not factored into the end price.

Girls boyfriend was a solar salesman and got her a deal and then some drama happened and she left the state.

Like 5 dollar energy bills for the summer months

The Totenkopft is ugly as fuck and not even a cool looking skull: it’s all angled weird and has fucked up proportions.

That’s how you know people know what it means. If you wanted a random β€œcool skull” - you would never settle on that cartoonish kids drawing of a skull

My Boy Scouts leader in Upper Michigan use to say this to me.

We retired a flag and we all took turns saying what we liked about America. I was 10. I said β€œthat it’s a democracy” - and he chastised me and said β€œno we are a republican”

troop disbanded years later because of a sex crime he commited

As an overly political applied mathematician - β€œCredibility Laundering Vector” makes my brain tickle.

I’m in - thanks for posting lol πŸ”₯

Will it be uploaded for those who can’t make it remotely? πŸ˜‡

Same feeling brother - we got this tho. Anything that comes our way can be handled with poise and rationality (lol). Much better way to handle these kind of things.

Your post was read in my mind as Troy yelling out mastodon lyrics. Shred a riff and say what you just said in a deep growl for me 🎸

I can’t stress enough - and I say this as a proud wook - doing psychedelics is not the same as being empathetic or a replacement for therapy

Fucking insane I regularly have to tell people this lol

@wired.com had a dicksucking article on why he is the best because he trips DMT and other psychedelics

Also something about his sister reading novels?

I do drugs and read too - where is my valuation?!

"President Trump wants to attack Iran but the USS Gerald Ford's toilets are clogged with shit" is the sentence I blurt out as soon as I travel back in time to the 1990s.

I am immediately and, quite understandably, tased.

Im not a natural - but I did spend 6 years working in a Lowe’s paint department.

Tried really hard to color match - out of immense boredom

I blame that for being even kind decent at this

Tarski / Hume Ticket🎟️ responding to Russel/Whitehead:

Tarski: The β€œBudget is balanced” if and only if the β€œBudget is balanced”!

Hume: Yes! All inferences from experience, therefore, are effects of custom, not of reasoning

Heidegger: Experience says the DOW is 50,000! Stop talking about the Nazis!

Every millennial I know who does a lot of drugs also ironically wears a DARE tshirt

Go to any rave and there is some dude Jedi flipping (shrooms, acid, and mdma) with a dirty DARE tshirt on lol

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

I see the words β€œpizzamoged” and β€œnoidchad” - and think of Derrida.

What could possibly be the opposite by which these words differentiate themselves? Normie? Adjusted human? Who knows. A signifier without a reference?

Not to brag but there is a duck pond with cushioned couches near a book store within a 3 min walk of my work

Best days of my life were picking up a copy of philosophy now-reading 1 article in 15 min & napping with it over my face to the sound of quacks on a sunny day

Body would wake up in 40 mins⛅️

Shadows of the Empire: β€œit’s absolutely vital we have a guy nobody knows or cares about who looks like Han Solo but isn’t - doing things that can be retconned or ignored”

Prob has to do with Lucas wanting video game money but not having the video game people bastardize his world with nonsense. πŸ’€

I think you nailed what worked about the film. Yautja and his struggle to find his place in society and against the world felt like the strongest beats of that film
