The point is to implement mask bans and return to office mandates because we are powerless idiots who have no choice but to die on the terms of the bad guys. Bad guys who probably fund all the major political parties in your area.

If you're the type of person who has hope about climate change or anything else, I don't know how you get through your days.

The SAVE Act is so ghoulish that women should consider saving up for firearms and voting from the rooftops.

Watching Americans do peaceful protests today really puts me in mind of what happened back in 2003 because of the largest protests ever in this world.

Bet it feels like you're doing something real, though.

If you haven't considered leftist purity testing for your politicians, I really recommend you start doing some right away. You could start with something as easy as promising not to vote for anyone who doesn't support single-payer health care and social housing.

What's interesting is what the plan is for the Democrats, who offered managed decay "or else the bad guys will win" now that the bad guys won. I am interested in this because I still live in a country where the ruling party is still offering managed decay "or else the bad guys will win" and thinks that's a good enough strategy.

Dandy.

I am not hopeful by what I see in the UK, France and Germany.

This is all the inevitable conclusion of having a whole political system based on open, legal bribery.

@FlashMobOfOne I think it's just people deliberately going to a place where they hope to cause trouble and disrupt whatever it is going on, more so than anyone naturally just that clueless. Hanlon's Razor is bullshit nonsense that bad people use to camouflage intent.

Imagine going to the theatre and being upset that you see The Gays?

(the truth is that it's just religious fundamentalists out trying to disrupt shows using anything they can as a pretext)

Reading people defend/attack Kendrick about the Superbowl and I feel like someone is reading to me Klingon poetry that was written in Elvish.

@fu Free trade with Chinese characteristics.

I think it would be a nice gesture to kill all kings and queens and emperors and nobles, not just the local ones.

Commit to magical bloodlines all you like so long as you know the price is an open grave.

It's amazing what happens when you spike the cost of living, on purpose, and then blame all the fallout on tankies and Russian trolls. It's weird to see it happen in several places at once.

I pray to God that #China just burst the AI bubble with this stunt and that a lot of people lose vast fortunes over it. Why? That's what five different companies get for trying to force their five different versions of the same thing on me at least three to five times a week.

I hope they all burn.

@FlashMobOfOne It's the reasons for even wanting it to begin with that elude me. People want to talk to their families that much?

As someone who doesn't have "real" social media, at all, I find it it exciting how folks have trouble leaving Meta behind. I ain't judging, it's like people talking about a colour I cannot see?

"Patrick, you seem to actually believe God is kinda sorta maybe more than a little evil and it doesn't bring you any comfort at all, so why is it you believe in God again?"

I think it's hardwired in my brain somehow.

I better hope God is actually forgiving. But on the other hand, what can God actually accuse me of that God isn't guilty of, at much worse scales, Himself?

That's my answer to #Theodicy that God is guiltier than you of every bad thing you've done, so God has to absolutely forgive everyone of everything they did bad because it's much more monstrous of a God with near infinite power to spend fractions on fixing the world when we humans have near no power and spend huge amounts on that project.

Now I just angry pray at God, pointing out how sad it is that God seems so abjectly weak in the face of the evil in the world.

"Gee, God, wow, boy does it look like you are totally uncaring about the plight of people on this planet and just seem like a total assclown! Wow, I bet the divine plan's gotta be really good to want to look like that short-term."

Or I will acknowledge Garbage Day by pointing out that it really does seem stronger and more powerful than God, and that's weird.

Why would #God hate Patrick, you ask?

Easy. I came up with this thing called Garbage Day, which I originally would sing to the tune of the chorus from Jesus Christ Superstar. I love that musical unironically I would sing it to taunt God for the Divine inaction in terms of Bullshit and Bad Shit.

Bad Shit? Murder, rape, famine, and disasters of every kind.

Bullshit? Did you lose $5, stub your toe, misplace a favourite pair of socks?

Patrick, you didn't invent Theodicy you know? Duh, asshole.

@FlashMobOfOne I fondly recall his yellow cake bit, back in the Bush days. I hate his guts and I find him funny, which is awkward.
