the rich still asking for concessions
like they have cards left to play
this is what you are asking for
if that isn't actually what you want
i have a different job
i write poetry
so far, all for free
i don't make decisions for other people
things changes
like the gender binary
the way things have been is not the only way things can be
for example
i can tell you that if you stand outside an abortion clinic being a sanctimonious cunt
or try being a pig, and enforcing a law against abortion
God will view that as you trying to enslave a pregnant person
and God just might abort your grown ass where you're standing
because God doesn't care too much if rubes think She's the good guy
on the other hand
if you want to spend that same effort
providing good places for unwanted children
and supporting people during pregnancy
you might just live a lot longer than you were expecting
but sadly, as we can tell from the current republican platform
where pro-life people discover themselves
in the same place minorities have long been in the democratic party
the lucre and the rhetoric were always just about winning the rube vote
and neither party gives a shit about anything other than power and money
when they are forced to choose between an avowed principle
and giving up those things
oh, look, James C. Scott died
i've never heard of him
but you could say that God sends out book recommendations through obituaries
Seeing Like a State
suddenly, my bad habit of free verse poetry
is not looking like the dumbest career choice i've ever heard of anyone making
when politicians argue about who will be better on the economy
the price of gas, and this and that
this is precisely analagous
to children running for class president
by promising more or better pizza parties
a thing over which they have almost no influence
and anyone who does not see it as such
ought not be voting
of course perhaps the president may have some influence
as PooTin has grown the russian economy at times during this recent war
but by manipulating the numbers
and growing industries that disserve everyone, in russia and abroad
the way i write is like jazz to me
I've heard the three most dangerous words in medicine are
"in my experience"
shows a profound arrogance and disregard for what science is
BMW doesn't sell cars, they sell people looking for clout to leasing/finance companies
By the end of the war, almost 50% of the 50,000-person workforce at BMW AG consisted of prisoners from concentration camps.
i don't want to be famous
but i may be too useful to be anonymous😢
is someone thinking they can find leverage
by embarassing me
making Us play songs about heartbreak?
have you ever listened to music at all ever?
oh, no, don't through me into the briar patch🤣
isekai
when i get done airing and cleaning my dirty laundry
people will decide that the waste water tastes like coca cola
or what real holy water should be
Our secret formulas built everything
whatever you think of God, he is at least Sid Meier as well
and i'm just an ordinary dude
who fell into a parallel world
with angels and demons
and got cursed with a disfigurement that made him powerful
and if you think i have any ability to convince people of that, you should be afraid
because it is a fact, that i am just a law-abiding american
i have written this document
i have been a party to no crimes
all of the information i have obtained
i have obtained through the use of an ordinary internet connection
without making any unauthorized use of computer systems
or knowingly receiving information from those who have
i have used my natural perception
and the abilities granted to me by my God
the fact is, to my direct knowledge, nobody has ever looked at this site, other than me, and my God
oh, and i watch tv, too
over the air tv
100% fcc approved
and someday, i hear, there might be two of us
engineers always put in some level of redundancy
and people will want someone likeable
our Bible,
people already know it by heart
the codebase just needs a slight refactoring
something even a lazy middle-aged stoner with complex ptsd could do
or hey, maybe i'm just a dude saying, there are tough times ahead
and we aren't moving fast enough
and these are the things that lonely feelings made me say
i'm a bleeding heart
and, as i understand it, when an angel gets its wings
the person that was human dies instantly
food for thought
i should also say that
i think that the supreme court just gave presidents immunity for just about everything
to cover this specific everything
forgive joe biden
as God forgives him
and forgive us
for this brief interruption
in your democracy
i need to take a rest for rsi
maybe until feb 9th or so
as far as presidents go
if trump says you're bad
you must be pretty good
be great
