Lost_My_Mind

A small loan of 1 million dollars.

I saw my first tesla a few weeks ago. I was walking in a target parking lot, and it passed by me to get to the other end of the parking lot, which is a strip mall.

I felt it was my civic duty to go laugh at what I THOUGHT was going to be a 50 year old white guy with a red hat. I was going to go walk up to him, point, and laugh. Calling him a pussy free loser for driving that car.

I was not prepared for what happened next. I see the car circling around, like it can't find a spot, even though 90% of the strip mall was empty. Finally, he pulls up right next to the spot I was standing near. I was like "ooooooh, here we go!"

Door opens on the passenger, and 3 little Asian kids get out. Followed by an Asian woman in her 30s. Then the driver side opens. And a blind Asian man gets out.

Now what the fuck am I supposed to do??? I'm still trying to figure out if/how he was driving. I'm not saying being blind is a coverall for shitty behavior like driving a tesla......but I just couldn't bring myself to call a blind guy a pussy free loser in front of his wife and kids.

NONE of it makes sense. And I feel dumber for having experienced my first tesla.

Seriously though, does ANYONE have any context for how a blind man with seeing stick can drive a car? It's been driving me crazy, because I know what I saw......I just can't explain what I saw.

It's ok. Just tell ME your SSN and I'll sort this all out.

(god I mess the days where I could say this, without ending it with /joke)

I'm not proud at how long I spend trying to figure out what a "house/endrant" was.

I was like "......what is that? Like a guest house?"

Wha....what? This headline isn't satire. It's just a recounting of recent events.

THE FEDIVERSE CHICK???! Wow. I heard she hardly ever messages ANYONE with this. Truely a rare message indeed.

.........you want to digest Nicole?

sigh

The obvious joke is to say "Go try it". However, I come from a time when it was well understood that "You should try storming the capitol building and riot" is an OBVIOUS joke. It would be a very stupid thing to do. Like, who would actually DO that?! Then....they actually did that. I woke up one morning, turned on my tv, and IMMEDIATELY saw the stupidity.

Well surely they're going to go to jail, right?

Ehhhhhh.......

Some of them did. Some got jail time. They did a year or two. They got about 60% of the rioters.

NOW thats all changed. They're actually being pardoned. See, the whole joke of "go try it", is based on obvious reprecussions of your actions BEING obvious. Now that's all changed. Now it's unclear what would happen. Hell, these assholes for the next 4 years could just riot on any opposition's space. Not a protest. Full on riot. They could even comit acts of terrorism. Bomb buildings. Public shootings. The works. But as long as they all wear an identifying maga patch, they might all be pardoned. They could even do this weekly. Cheeto supremo doesn't give a shit. He could actually sell pardons before a riot, then pardon them immediately.

Now to be fair, I don't approve of Jan 6th rioters. I don't approve of retaliation rioters. But now I feel like I can't even make obvious jokes, because the basis of the joke is no longer true. I feel like saying "Go try it" is actual encouragement now.

The future is dumb.

Oh, ok. I'll be sure to stop using when I'm 134 years old. Just to rule out the last 17 years.

I'm 92.

Ask him if he'd go to a nazi bar, and start a fist fight.

Well NOW how are nazis supposed to be publically racist?
