I remember dropping off a girlfriend at the airport back in the 90s. The security desk asked me to leave my pocket knife at the security station before preceding to the gate. When I came back, the security guy was gone but there was a plastic box full of knifes and stuff to be retrieved on the honor system.

In undergrad philosophy, most exams are simply headshots of famous philosophers that the students have to identify. In post-graduate studies, they use the picture of Nietzsche when he's shaved.

In the US, driving a car is mandatory. Your safety is being sacrificed for the economy and auto/fuel industries, not because low skilled drivers exist.

It takes a real asshole to make driving harder for the individual in a system where the only alternative to driving is fuck yourself. If you can't drive, you don't deserve to eat!

It's a proud American tradition to re-distribute the shit rather than doing something about the assholes above you.

You're going to have problems with authenticity when your family photo makes you look like a phony.

Why not

Because, like most things Hunter has ever done, it's wrong. I don't want a version of MAGA for the left. The left should concede the award for biggest piece of shit; don't even compete for it.

It bears repeating that religious zealots and anti-theists are two sides of the same coin. To the point where anti-theists who were religious zealots is common, like you describe. Both offer certainty, superiority, and are obsessed with out-groups and enemies. You may want to reflect if, and perhaps why those things appeal to you.

It's a myth that Congress gets this many days off. They work very hard begging for money and making promises.

Nobody was ever going to learn about MLK or Civil Rights in a movie by Spielberg or anyone else.

If you want to move past "content of their character" and "I have a dream", your going to have to pick up a book.

I recommend 'Prophet of discontent' by Douglas and Loggins

I used to do a lot of driving for work and it's important to manage stress in traffic. Whenever someone would do something that aggravated me, I'd pretend that they did it for some silly reason and it helped me stay calm.

Someone cut you off? They must have have to shit so bad. Someone driving crazy fast? They're trying to get to their wife before their girlfriend does.
