Ah, so you can’t read. You are uneducated.

I want to refine my comment.

He is a foolish, uneducated person.

You can work a forty hour work week, live responsibly, pay all your bills and taxes on time, etc, and still be below the poverty line in America. You can have kids while financially stable and get hurt or sick. You could have kids and your spouse could die.

This is a foolish, uneducated comment.

Yeah, I mostly listen to death metal so I’ll just see myself out.

Nah man. The democratic party is billed as left wing. Some Americans believe that. A ton of us know that is false and are actually left wing but don’t have great options to vote for.

I was agreeing with you dude by joking about something equally absurd. Chill out.

Idiot. Did you forget that we invaded China years ago and have been in a brutal land war with them? Duh.

No it sounds like a ballin hair metal band.

Our government is not as fun as a ballin hair metal band.

Yeah see, I wouldn’t do that. I would just be visibly irritated and dissociating about beating that person up.

But that would be fucking stupid and unjustifiably mean, so I have the responsible wherewithal to keep my jerk ass at home lmao

I’m at the point now that I say we just fucking go for it and elect even crazier people than Trump. We’re going down no matter what. Let’s just see how crazy shit can get. Let’s make Ezra Miller Secretary of Defense.

One of the terms of marrying my partner and buying a home together is we’d be pragmatic about responsibilities. I fucking hate paperwork and am bad with money, so the wife handles all the bills. She hates labor and we want to save money, so I perform basically 100% of the physical duties around the house, from construction projects to small shit like monthly deep cleans. It’s a bit old fashioned, but it works great for us.

One of my terms was that she did all of our grocery shopping (she wanted it anyways, she likes it). I can’t stand the lack of situational awareness from people in stores. It drives me fucking nuts.

This was really interesting. Thank you.

If you’re talking relative to objective political spectrum and not left and right in the sole context of American politics in a vacuum, you’re entirely right and I agree. Joe Biden would have been like a center-right wing politician in a lot of Europe.

But my point still stands. Irrespective of what either party actually is, he had the support of neither. Which is crazy considering he’ll be mayor of the largest city in the US.

The real play is to become a billionaire, and have a state of the art vaporizor capable of holding a metric ton of weed tied into your ventillation system. Add a simple PLC to measure oxygen levels and electronically engage solenoids to keep the environment habital.

Spend millions, be high for one day, develop most expensive weed tolerance in human history.

This made me laugh because I’m currently reading the expanse, and I’m worried one day it may be viewed as a prophecy…

I just want some skateboarders to head this way man. And some death metal folks to show me new music.

I get it, I’m on your right coast counterpart in Boston. California is a top 10 economy globally in size, even measured against the likes of nations like France. So it objectively has the capital to do it.

But every time I hear this, it seems like its lost on them that you absolutely will not be allowed to leave peacefully, at least if its under this administration. That is certainly an option, but you guys would be a nation with 0 military on day 1 unless you tried to nationalize military assets and personnel already in the armed forces. Hell, they’d probably start with calling all military personnel choosing to defect deserters, which they can execute you for, and invade you on those grounds alone.

You guys can definitely leave, but if the US decides to stop ot by force, they’re either going to roll over you like the German blitzkrieg of Poland, or you’re going to descend into years of a brutally violent insurgency.

To be clear too - I’m absolutely on your side. New England has rumblings of trying to secede too, but we’d face the exact same problem as you guys (we’re also not nearly as much as a global economic powerhouse like California, so we’d also have further issues you guys would not).

This blew my mind not being AI. I sincerely do not remember this.

How did you de-google? I am fascinated by this because they’re in everything we use, often unknowingly.
