Because you can't rule earth with just a few handful of ultra-rich overlords without making the masses totally dumb and easily manipulated first...
Because the Supreme Court decided to allow unlimited dark money in politics with Citizens United.
Because Biff Tannen time-travelled from 1985 to 1955 to give himself a sports almanac that let him amass a huge fortune on sports betting, which he used to take over the country.
Oh god....
The good news is that all you have to do to fix this is make out with your mom.
Listen, I don’t make the rules. Just get to second base with your mom and we can all go home.
I'm just an innocent bystander here, but I specifically remember the last time these two were in 1955, the kid had to run from his mom, and I'm pretty sure the crazy scientist was drunk the whole time, at the very least.
If the scientist is neither crazy nor drunk, can they truly be said to be a scientist?
TIL I may actually be a scientist......
Now remember, the difference between science and fucking around is ~~writing shit down~~ the size of the explosion
would you stop suggesting making out with my mom i'm starting to think you have some kind of octopus complex
Prove to me it wouldn’t help.
I would need a shovel for that
The other day I read “every day is the dumbest day, until tomorrow” and I will always remember those wise words.
As one of Chevy Chase's characters said, "Every day is better than the next."
My guess is that we died during Covid and this is some kind of hell. Even though things were bad before 2020, I feel that the last five years has just been one bad thing beating the last bad thing
It makes me think back to episodes of Lost and think “that’s so much more plausible than current reality.”
Unfortunately though, there are still people at the top living like fucking kings.
So if this were some sort of afterlife, that would imply that they were "good" and got the rewards, and we were "bad," and get the punishment.
They are demons. Not every “human” would be real in hell. That’s why they are getting richer exponentially. It’s just to punish us. Hopefully when we die here, it’s not just another circle ⭕️ 🔥
A weird statistical mix of dumb evil people stumbling into a good situation for themselves on the heels of a lot of good technology created that was deployed completely irresponsibly, it's like winning the shithead lottery. Only saving grace is that they're so dumb the smarts can correct it easily, (lead, IP addresses, or otherwise) but it could still get much worse as anyone that knows business, the dumbs in business can drag the whole company into the deep despite smart people trying to stop the drowning. Smarts can't just come out and slap the dumbs in government though, because ersatz rules and potential death. So it has to be a long-game, that hopefully ends with the dumbs having a painful terrible end, I'd even add confusing as an acceptable feeling in that end state, even though it is cruel, because they deserve it. They'll never learn anyway, and they are laser-focused on cruelty to anyone they don't like, so they really should get to personally enjoy the Old Testament shit themselves. Also why correct 2A peeps haven't acted yet. Risk is too high when you have a pea shooter and some really stupid people are holding the nuclear football.
Big plus though, even if Mango had unicorn piss connections for long life, his heart is failing and he's going to have a Big Mac Shit soon that will take him to a place even the Christian Satan wouldn't want to touch. Probably slightly longer than the usual 6 month time period because child soul injections, but less than a year, probably.
The most annoying part of the now thought, where are the oil barons? Truthfully. Fixing the planet so we get to keep living here is so insanely profitable. There should be so many people plugging solar or wind or old mines as water batteries. The US regression is so confounding.
They're so anti trans they even want their women to be manly.
Its almost like transphobia is just sexism with extra steps.
These are the sorta guys who think: If they're not hot enough to fuck or my bro they hold no value as a human
I mean, the female beauty standard seems to imply that.
- Flat chest
- Straight hips (no curves in general)
- Recently they want women with a strong jaw and a butt-chin
Like... I'm sorry but what they want seems like a man...
maybe you and i pay attention to different beauty standards
Mostly on social networks, like ig or fb, and the miss universe and shit like that.
Weirdly enough... When I had my account on dbzer0, most of the posts coming from lemmynsfw were flat-chested women, when I moved to .cafe it became the opposite and here on Piefed.ca I rarely see post from lemmynsfw for some reason.
Yeah. Kinda like white Afghanistan, without the beards.
I can't believe that this is even real! We have to be living in a simulation. There's no way that the SNL skit "All Drug Olympics" is becoming real life. What the actual shit, man?
Does it count if it is already real, just not the actual, official, Olympics?
Because I had seen a news article recently about an actual drug-fueled athletics competition somewhere in the world because someone overdosed and died, sparking questions of whether or not the competition should be allowed to exist.
What's killing me here is that this was literally a joke 35 years ago. A joke that was intended for all of society to laugh at. Everyone at the time thought this was stupid and funny. No one laughing at this in the late 80s would have even begun to seriously consider an All Drug Olympics.
We're at a point now where a bunch of demonstrably insane billionaires are really doing this. What the hell is happening?
FML, i forgot about Peter thiels methhead olympics...
Me too, I was too busy noticing Alex Jones Hitler mustache
I recommend the QAA podcast - a Qanon debunking podcast originally, but branching out. They did an episode on this weeks ago.
what episode was that? i'm a pretty consistent listener but i have a shit memory
Have to admit I'm not 100% sure it was QAA - could've been Conspirituality or even KnowledgeFight
poke
edit: actually idk if your app works like mine, so: somebody replied with the episode in q
nice, thank you!
Fucking children?
Peter Phile
Nobody tell them what the body does to excess testosterone.
Downvoted for shitty headline.
Bad "journalist," bad!
Line length snorting?
Nobody tell Patrick Boivin
But they don't have a say on that though unless they are part of the Olympic committee 🤷
So who cares?
They're creating their own events, separate from the official Olympics
Title appears to be claiming otherwise, which is what I think the parent comment was taking issue with.
