A liberal says "I had it rough. No one should have to go through what I went through."
A conservative says "I had it rough. EVERYONE should have to go through what I went through."

You can learn a lot on a first date by asking a man if he cried during "Cast Away" when Wilson was lost. If he responds "no", for instance, you will learn you're on a date with a liar.

Christians just don't get how bizarre and unhelpful "I'll pray for you" sounds to an atheist.
If I tell you my sister is sick, and you reply that you know the right supernatural incantations to alter the laws of physics for her benefit, I'm going to think "Cool, you go way over there and do that…"

Listen to metal. In what other genre would all of these be enormous compliments? 🤣
And do listen to the #Synestia track where these compliments appear because holy shit this track changes the game in modern #metal.

To everyone who voted for Trump because he'd "run the country like a business" —
Congrats! You got exactly what you voted for: hostile takeovers, mass layoffs, sketchy cost-saving measures, no benefits, wage theft, union-busting, and imminent bankruptcy!!
You must feel so smart right now.

I uploaded one of my photos to ChatGPT and the LLM grokked it — better than many people do.
When Johnny 5 started talking like this, Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy decided it was alive. Just sayin'.

#Capitalism has always been a bum deal for the workers.
#HealthInsurance has always been a joke to the sick.
#WageTheft has always been a risk for the poor.
The #PoliceState has always been a danger to people of color.
The only change: healthy, middle-class white people are now suffering, too.

As we speak, Trump supporters across the country are gathering to celebrate the infant son of Middle Eastern migrants — a manual laborer and his illiterate wife — who had no choice but to give birth in a filthy barn far from home.
Miraculously, not a single one will grasp the irony.

If we got wall-to-wall media coverage for a week every time an insured patient dies because they're denied the services they pay for, I wonder how long it would take to change the system.

[Reproducing my most viral post] When discussing Universal Basic Income, inevitably the retort comes: "So you just want people to not have to work, is that it?" Accompanied by a smug smirk, expecting me to backpedal and hem and haw, say "Of course not, that's silly." Except...yes. Yes, I do. 1/11

It's truly amazing that people who voted for a candidate who promises to abolish the Constitution think they'll retain the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, the courtesy of a phone call, protection from stop-and-search, and on and on.
What do they think is protecting these rights?

Christians: I'll never die because a zombie rabbi promised that to some gay fishermen before he flew away into the clouds!
Atheists: OK! Best of luck with that.
Christians: … and that's why women shouldn't be allowed to receive healthcare.
Atheists: Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

So I said unto this man
"who are you and where do you come from?"
and he proceeded to tell me many things
but I said nothing at all
for the flower in the corner, by the room,
in the window, and the sun
said it all
