There’s a EeewwwChoob video with the intriguing title Brand New Cars Already Falling Apart — but for the purposes of this post, you don’t have to watch it because a couple of the comments are absolutely priceless:
…and one which resonates with me, bigly:
“Being single isn’t the easiest thing in the world but it’s objectively better than going to bed beside someone who you hope stops breathing in the middle of the night.” – Daniel Sloss
I don’t know who Daniel Sloss is, but I like the way he thinks. If only I’d realized this when I was in my 20s…
From TCW:
“The truth is that none of the Jews of Sydney commit atrocities. They have been building decent, honest and contributing lives for generations. They have been praying, not killing. They have been working, not plotting murder.”
Not just in Sydney, either.
Jews have been “contributing” to the arts, to culture, to technology and to Western civilization in general since the dawn of nations. In contrast:
“I’d much rather make a squatter homeless than have a landlord lose property.” — James Jacobs, ASAP Squatter Removal.
I have absolutely no doubt that the state of California is going to try its best to shut him down. Read the whole thing to find out why.
From Kruiser:
“It’s not just that Biden & Co. got so many things wrong — one expects that from Democrats — it’s that they got them so spectacularly wrong.”
And of course, so much effort is required by each and every incoming Republican administration to fix the mess (diplomatic, defense, social policy, economics — oy, the list goes on and on) before starting on any positive work.
Two (or three, or four) steps backwards each Democrat administration, half a step forward with the Republicans, then a single step forward again (if we’re lucky) — and then the ungodly get back into power by the usual means (fill in the blanks) and the whole horrible pattern starts all over again.
Small wonder that the U.S. is so much a failing neo-socialist state despite our economic strength.
And our only hope is that the Trump administration manages to get a few steps forward before the cataclysm so that the ungodly have to spend time trying to undo what he did — putting them on the back foot, for a change.
Hey, I can dream, you know.
From someone on the Internet (SOTI), talking about the increasing complexity of the modern world:
“In the future, a large portion of consumers will want low tech, bullet proof appliances, vehicles, homes, etc. I want my grandma’s fridge, my parent’s home, the 1988 Honda prelude I drove when I was 16, and to retire from my high tech job. All my friends think the same way. It’s too much hassle for the benefit and nobody is happier.“
Me too. Give me simplicity over complexity every day of the week.
