The person thinks inflation and pyramid schemes are the same thing. I think your argument is falling on deaf ears.

Alan Moore

Saga of the Swamp Thing and Watchmen are two amazing runs of comics he wrote.

Huge fan of his recent-ish novel, Jerusalem.

Fuck the US car industry and fuck Tesla.

Just to be fair: Fuck China, too.

Literally boots.

Work boots for my jobs doing physical labor. I would spend around or slightly under $100 every year for a new pair because theater, construction and pest control destroyed a pair a year.

Then I bought Redwings for close to $300. They lasted 3 years before the pandemic and likely would continue to last in those types of career for years to come.

I don't.

I've even read philosophical works that go against what I think and feel and spend the entire time arguing with someone who has probably been dead for hundreds of years.

But I enjoy that from time to time to keep my mind sharp.

No point in reading something that doesn't grab you and resonate with you. Life is too short to put myself through that.

The American political system has done nothing but ratchet to the right for about a hundred years.

It's so far right that people think liberals are left wing. That shit is center right lmao

"Hey! Listen!"

How about shut the fuck up you stupid firefly from hell?

The mindset these people have is the same one that is destroying the ecosystem: they do not care.

The long term is seen as merely a succession of short terms. Numbers going up is seen as proof of prosperity regardless of if those numbers signify actual sustainable growth or not.

I'm one of those people who has never really stopped having cravings. It only gets bad when I'm really stressed but it is low key there 24/7.

Thankfully, it's only really a battle when I'm stressed.
