    Two courses of action.

    1. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. Then you let the Ramirez outside in and do the same. You proceed trying to figure out what’s going on. Who is the real one? Problem with this scenario is now you 100% have the fake one inside with you.

    2. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. You leave the one outside to die. Unethical, but now there’s only a 50/50 chance the one inside with you is the fake one.

    Alternate option if you’re feeling really unethical is you just instantly kill the one already inside and also leave the one outside to die. Technically the safest option.


  • Millennial about to turn 41.

    I’m tired.

    I’m not particularly fond of my fellow Americans anymore.

    And I don’t have an ounce of patriotism left.

    This country can go ahead and fuck itself. Which it appears to be doing pretty thoroughly. Dumbest fucking country in the history of the world if you take into account its wealth and influence compared to its quality of life and happiness index.

    Weighing how much effort/money it would take to get Canadian citizenship and whether I have that kind of energy left in me.

    Animals don’t belong in places that sell food. Animals don’t belong in office supply stores. Animals don’t belong in post offices. Animals don’t belong in any business other than a vet’s office or pet supply store that specifically allows them.

    If you can’t train your animal to be home alone long enough for you to run some errands, then you shouldn’t own a pet.


  • Are we more stupid than we used to be? Yeah. But I’d use the word ignorant instead. It’s a bit more accurate. Ignorance is chosen, and that’s what our current epidemic of stupidity is. Chosen.

    There have always been a lot of ignorant people, but now, with social media, those people have platforms to infect others with their ignorance. Also, in my own lifetime, I’ve witnessed a shift from ignorant people still being able to set aside partisan politics to condemn obviously bad actors or decisions to 100% doubling down on partisan politics no matter how bad the person or action is.

    I’ve definitely FELT this increase in willful ignorance over the course of my life living in this country. People in my own life choosing to believe things they absolutely would not have believed a couple decades ago. People not understanding super basic concepts.

    I think there are other factors than just bad actors spreading ignorance on social media. I think a lot of it has to do with simple distractions. The modern world has so many. A lot of the people I know don’t even read books. Like, they simply don’t read. If I ask them what book they read last they have to concentrate because it was multiple years ago. That’s fucking crazy. Instead of picking up a book they’re watching Real Wives of Whatever. Getting involved in some wealthy person’s 1st world problems, instead of, you know, learning something.

    We’re entering an age of concentrated ignorance and, unfortunately, that’s very unlikely to end anytime soon. And the stakes are higher than ever for something like that to happen because we possess greater power to decimate this planet than we used to. Through pollution or braindead child-like politicians who can wage war or launch nukes.

    It takes a lot less effort to allow things to keep going the way they are than it does to turn things around and responsibly educate the masses. So we’re probably going to continue spiraling.

    Things are going to get dark. Our quality of life will decline.

    Had a job interview once where they asked me how much I was expecting to make. I told them and they responded with “Yeah, I think we can do that.” Then when they called me to offer me the job they had lowered it by a few bucks an hour. I took it because I had to at the time. They knew that people are desperate and this was their strategy with everyone. Fucking scum.








  • I guess with their support for a live-streamed genocide

    That’s a pretty glossed over way of telling us you don’t understand global politics and why America isn’t going to alienate their most important ally in the Middle East. A country expressing displeasure with the way their ally is interacting with another nation but remaining their ally because of the geo-political importance is not “blue MAGA (lol)” starting WW3. Nothing about America remaining allies with Israel starts WW3.

    Full-throated support for a proxy war that threatens to turn nuclear with Russia.

    Lol. You mean America supporting a democratic nation that was invaded by our greatest adversary so they can use their soldiers to prevent us from using ours to stop Russia from expanding their borders and their influence? Not only is that helping not start WW3 because we don’t have to get directly involved with Russia, but no one is going nuclear because it doesn’t benefit anyone.

    Threatening hot war with China throughout the Biden admin.

    Source your statements. No one is just going to believe you, especially after saying things like “blue MAGA”.

    Escalating tensions with the DPRK

    Source your statements.

    backing a coup attempt in South Korea.

    Source your statements.

    Continued support for destabilization of leftist countries in South & Central America.

    Source your statements.

    Honestly, I’m not going to keep saying it. You keep making wild statements you expect us to take your word for. Source every statement you said or I can’t take you seriously. You just typed a lot of words to condemn Democrats for their handling of foreign affairs while 100% utterly and completely declining to acknowledge Republican’s categorical destruction of our relationships with virtually all our allies over the course of a single month.

    It’s pretty obvious you’re a shill.

    And stop saying “blue MAGA”. It makes you look ridiculous.
