Had the honor to perform it once when I was younger, and every wedding I've been to in my family on my mom's side has had it performed. Sort of as a "Don't hurt em or we hurt you" message I guess.

You spend all your life promoting communism just to watch people get charged an entrance fee to visit your grave.

Fun fact: The only part of tree that is alive is a layer under the bark, and the bark/leaves/root system itself. The rest of it is 90ish percent dead plant.

Sounds like it would be easy to lure child predators to the hard point when the bait is children

The only weapon I personally believe untrained children are any good at are emplaced weapon positions like artillery crews or machine gun nests.

Considering that some illegals are children, I would caution greenlighting this plan to literally feed child predators children.

Technically or virtually, you're almost always wrong judged by those metrics.

Fun fact: Greece only surrendered to Germany, not Italy. They absolutely refused to give Italy that satisfaction.

But we can just print more, so we're already one step closer to socialism.

Increased automation should supply more needs for less work. 11 comments

We don't know what complete automation will do for out society and the economy, and we sure as hell shouldn't see it as the miracle solution. When automation was first rolled out, people hated it because it cheapened the costs of labor, i.e. it fired everybody who did what that robot did. Our stance on value and commodity will change at the point, and I don't know how that will turn out or what it will look like for sure. Sure, you can pursue your hobbies and have free time to do as you wish, but is food and shelter simply distributed to you with no strings or stipulations? Do you have a say in what kind of food and shelter is given to you? How will bureaucracy complicate and legislate automation? What happens to all the leftovers of the old ways, like taxes, debts, loans, and repayments?

A condom, but it fills with blood over the day. Unless you're into inserting cotton fibers into your urethra, you are never without a surprise weapon down in your pants at any moment.

My point is that too many people seize on the idea that society should work for them when they miss the point that people have to work to make society function. For the unable, yes, society in this age does what it can to help those who cannot help themselves, but it also (for better or worse) helps those who refuse to work within their capabilities. That, or they foolishly think they can live their current or preferred way of life without realizing sacrifices of certain things have to be made. Most of modern life is merely convenience, like internet, entertainment media,

Those who do not work shall not eat. Many people, capitalist, colonist, imperialist, socialist, communist, democratic and dictators have said these things. It's an undeniable fact of life. Even on an island paradise you have to find water, crack open coconuts, find fuel for fire, build shelter, catch and scavenge for food.

Lovecraft was fucked up more than anyone realized beyond his racism. Look up his mother, and you can probably understand why his books were delving into ideas of Cosmic Horror.

So in short, it's not true, but it's funny and appeals to me, so in the end it's true.

I think it's canonically true for the second statement in some fashion. Johnny Blaze really wishes he was called The Daredevil instead of Ghost Rider.
