  • I have this lingering fear that the price of literally everything will boost up, and yet somehow my fox-news-consuming relatives will believe it when they say, “the economy is so much better now. Gas is at a staggeringly low $2.80!” Even though they can verify that not only is that not true, but that gas is currently lower under Biden at some of the local gas stations. And they will learn absolutely nothing.



  • While it is true that voters absolutely should have turned out to vote for not-hitler over hitler, there are lessons that the dnc can learn from this. for example trump reaches normal, non-political people since conservatives go on talk shows like rogan and others and shows the “human” side of him. im not saying going on rogan would have saved the campaign, but democrats dont do any non-political talk shows until just before the election if they do any at all. As the surge in “did biden drop out” searches indicated, the electorate has no idea what the fuck is going on. if democrats want to reach the common person, they should go where the common person is. the undecided voters dont understand policy, so they vote for who they like more.



  • I know of a Christian who believed Trump is the anti-christ, as foretold by Revelations and made direct comparisons. But he still voted for Trump anyway, because he could never support a Democrat. I live in an area where majority of Christians believe that Jesus actually would in fact forgive them for their actions that are antithetical to the Bible and cherry-picked Bible quotes. He was very homophobic too, so I deliberately dressed more queer to be irritating.





  • This only works when everyone refuses to tip. Some guy going to a restaurant, not tipping, and leaving me with the minimum of $2.13 just makes my day worse. The business does not care. That’s why I left service in the first place. I’ve had a $0 tip four times in one night before through no fault of my own (the patrons had even complimented me), but making enough to cover that minimum wage difference of only $5 an hour over the course of the week left absolutely no change for the company. A person can’t claim to have the moral high ground by refusing to tip because eventually it’ll be better that way.

    Which I find to be such an excellent example. Since red wine has prolonged contact with grape skins, letting it keep a lot of the flavonoids. It’s not incorrect exactly, but you’d still be better off eating grapes or drinking grape juice.


  • I once made a home base for an elusive magic artist that is notorious for making really powerful magical artifacts with shitty side effects. Shield of Biting that bites the user, invisible invisibility cloak, Rhythm Heaven’s Monkey Watch, a dagger that berates the user on misses, one puzzle that I found online that stumped the party for hours. So I made it a base with annoying puzzles. I had solutions for four out of five of them, then decided, “Eh, they’ll come up with something eventually.” They did the other puzzles first though, so they just came up with a solution that fits the theme. It worked.
