ahhhhh … I really don’t care any more … I’m nice and respectful and open to everyone … I accept everyone no matter race, gender, identity, nationality, background, religion (or non religion) and I do my best to respect everyone for who they are … beyond that, if people give me a hard time to be around them just to give me a hard time or show authority or try to be above me or control me - I really don’t want to be around you.

I have one or two hot wheels shaped wounds somewhere on my skull from when my brothers tossed these things at me in a fight … and I returned the favor as well.

That’s hilarious because I was the same. I was never able to afford the latest computers, laptops or electronics… so I spent a lot of time maxing out every device, learning to download software, massive (10 MB) updates on a dialup connection, learning to use cracked software, then graduating to Linux and open source software … I’ve tried the freezing hard drives to rescue them but never tried baking my mainboard!

Hot wheels from the 70s and 80s were deadly weapons … you stepped on one it was like stepping on a roller skate, you broke one it turned into knife and if you threw one, you could cause a concussion. Even just opening up one of those damned things when you were kid usually meant you severely cut yourself (I know from experience).

How about farm workers … I’m up in Canada and I know because I’ve seen entire farm communities in southern Ontario base their entire business on immigrant labor that was either legal, illegal and everything in between. Around Norfolk (a region southwest of Toronto), entire towns are filled with Mexican, Haitian, Dominican and more recently, African workers as labor for the planting, management and harvest.

We all have cheap vegetables in North America because of cheap immigrant labor that our governments allow into the country to work (for little to no money) but not to stay.

I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out if this was just an Onion headline … only to realize it is indeed an Onion headline … this is beautiful

I think the relevant question is whether the aliens will fuck us … and whether or not it will be any good.

Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together.

You forgot the part where we just kept mashing in the gun, over and over again, into the hole even as it poked through the wall and aimed the barrel at our forehead.

The latest Star Wars films have million dollar CGI and special effects budgets but all these guys had was a lamp and a plaid blanket and they made a film that was way better.

Get to the bottom … “Son! did you take down the garbage for pickup!?”

Picard and Troy running short of puns

¡Hola señor!

So what you guys are saying is that the world is being led around by people who don’t really know what they are doing?

I keep saying … call it whatever you want but it definitely isn’t democracy

It’s not ‘useless’ knowledge … if learning about the wider universe outside our small planet makes you realize what your place in this reality is, then I really don’t think it is useless, rather it is critically important because it makes our small insignificant existence in this vast universe far more special and humbling to the point where we look and see everything and everyone around us as so miraculous that we should do everything we can to enjoy this time that we have together in peace, love and harmony. It makes you realize its all we have and all we’ll ever be.

Definitely not useless knowledge.

Keeping looking at the stars, I’m watching the same sky as you.
