We need some form of law enforcement.

We do not need a standing military with a license to kill any random citizen.

Fun fact, prior to the stars being adopted, the Grand Union flag was literally just the British East India Company flag. Like, they didn’t even have one made, they took one off a boat and said “this is ours now”

There’s 102 stars.

Long answer: deep breath NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo

That scene is funny to me because of how relatively soft dolomite is. It’s about half as hard as granite and many Egyptian statues are dolomite. Well. Dolomite Rock anyway which isn’t much different, and is what Farnsworth is referring to anyway.

It’s a luxury home, 5 bedrooms sure but it’s also a huge property in an area where property value is insane.

It also has a pool, hot tub, and tennis court with some yard left over. It’s not a boilerplate, built from catalog “McMansion” that are common in the US, but it’s bigger than most of those homes tend to be.

It’s a large luxury home, we call those mansions.

It’s just a little guy.

Almost everything about the situation you were born in to is an accident of birth.

As in, you had no hand in it. Your parents may or may not have had some say in the matter, but for the vast majority of Americans, they didn’t choose to be an American either. Any more than they chose the color of their skin or the texture of their hair.

If you’re the child of immigrants, or an immigrant yourself, then sure, be proud of the accomplishment. It was hard and they (or you) earned the right to be here. But for most of us, it’s just where we happened to be from.

Raping children? Ok.

Rounding up random brown people and sending them to overseas concentration camps? Perfectly fine with it.

Gas is slightly more expensive? THAT’S THE FUCKING LINE

Pride comes with accomplishment.

Being human, being American, being male, being white, these are all accidents of birth. There’s no reason to take pride in any of it.

Bring born in to a disaffected class of people, being gay, or a person of color, and overcoming that adversity to any measure of success, that merits some pride.

But just being human? Anybody can do that.

WELL I THINK YOUR BROWSER LIKES TO FELATIATE BIRDS!!

… YEAH! it sucks cloaca. How do you feel about THAT‽

Please, go on

I mean, I don’t want one but being alive is expensive

Same principle as the weed doctor. You just need a therapist willing to sign off on whatever you tell them. Quite honestly it’s probably even easier than that, normal intake for drug abuse is a questionnaire about usage history.

So what all young men should be doing now is going to get drug abuse treatment just to get the intake paperwork done. Tell them you’ve been using since you were 13 and can’t stop. Give them a phone number one digit off from yours if you don’t want a phone call to remind you to come to treatment since you’re just trying to establish a history.

My next car is going to have physical fucking knobs and buttons.

I’m not buying another car with a tablet to control the media and the climate, regardless of power source. If I have to buy a 10 year old rust bucket I will. I’m not going back to the tablet until there’s literally no other option available.

It’d be real cool if that could be made in to a mobile game. I’m so rarely at a desktop anymore

Babylon 5 too.
