Chaos and the Anti-Thread

[Dreamtimer]

People can get out of the programming they were raised in. It takes work. Or some kind of transformative event. Megan Phelps-Roper is one example.

This is on the Rogan thread but I couldn't find it in it's number group. This is a very interesting discussion.

I just lost a chess game to a person called fra_bartholo from Belgium ... what a sandbagger

[Emil El Zapato]

My niece is on the right ... looking like she has been working on one of her two hundred dollar bottles of tequila ... Her husband is the wine connisseur.

I told you she looked like Roseanne, sounds like her two ... uses the same kind of language...but she really is a wonderful person. Been through some insane things.

[Dreamtimer]

Here's some Showercap for ya...

"...but watching the Republican Party congeal into its next, apparently equally grotesque form is...hoo boy. It’s somethin’. Like, “oh, we’re keeping ALL the crazy parts, huh? That’s...a choice.”

This movement’s gleeful complicity in its own gaslighting, even in the face of mass casualties, is, by my calculations, the single mathematically damndest thing I have ever seen.

But still, Hairplug Himmler calls to demand deliverance from democracy.

[N]ot only must you overthrow the entire American system of government for your Maggot Monarch, he also requires you to design the whole plan from scratch and put in all the legwork yourself, and if you could get that done by the time he’s finished golfing, that’d be stupendous.

Like, what sort of Stalinist fun house are we locked in where only 27 of the 249 Republicans in the House and Senate are willing to acknowledge, on the record with the Washington Post, the objective truth of Joe Biden’s landslide victory? It’s not in dispute. You wouldn’t ask Roy Blunt if mustard exists.

[F]rickin’ Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, lending the prestige of their offices to this dangerous drivel, and fucking OF COURSE it’s radicalizing millions of Americans.

Meanwhile, Texas AG Ken Paxton, certainly no stranger to bringing shame upon his office, picked up a half-eaten crayon and drafted his own warped, treasonous parody of a lawsuit, demanding the invalidation of crucial swing states’ election results, because the voices that speak to him through his molars are reasonably confident there was oodles of fraud.

[I]t’s also gasoline on millions of fires burning in millions of individual rabbit holes.

[T]he trend is really taking off in Idaho, where death cultists, excuse me, "anti-maskers" terrorized a 12-year-old child in his home, in the name of preserving the coronavirus’ God-given right to spread, unimpeded, from host to host.

Fascism filtered through the frat house. Gonna be great.

Nothing drives home the reality of American decline under the Turd Reich quite like watching coronavirus vaccination begin...in other countries.

[O]f COURSE Doctor Dotard declined a deal to acquire millions of doses of the Pfizer vaccine for U.S. citizens. Of COURSE those doses, including many manufactured on American soil, will instead be shipped to foreign nations who had the good sense not to elect yam-brained assclowns.

[S]omething deep within me finally snapped. Without quite understanding how, I find myself sewing an elaborate costume and working up a plot to kill the Batman...

[Emil El Zapato]

Ain't that the unabashed truth ...

[Emil El Zapato]

I just read that Hillary Clinton is Facebook's official certifier of posted information ... This emoji is a first time for me. I never really found a reason to use it until now:

They can't possibly have just one person.

[Emil El Zapato]

lol, We need to ask over at Mordor to get a definitive answer.

[Dreamtimer]

The opium of Trump's lies is amazing. I know I shouldn't be amazed but I really am. People are enthralled by him and yet they have nothing to gain from it. Because he won't help them or their country. But that doesn't matter. The opium of anger and fear are too much to overcome.

I shouldn't be amazed. It's the same dynamic that keeps thousands in a mega-church. Fear of the loss of salvation. Anger at the godless liberals.

It's opium. And it's the kind of opium that leads to inquisitions and vigilante justice.

Oh look, it's happening.

[Emil El Zapato]

Ok, folks, riddle me this one ...

For the last month and a half I have been going out for some exercise (walking and running to a local park). I always smoke a cigarette as I go out the front door and more than one neighbor has kidded me about exercising and smoking. I just say that I always strive for balance.

Anyway, I have been pacing myself by a storm drain, when I am about finished with the cigarette I start looking for the storm drain so I can toss the butt into it. Yesterday, I didn't see it and so figured that I must have passed it. No big deal. Today the same thing happened so I was a little puzzled and on the way back I searched an entire block for the drain. It wasn't there?!?!

Of course, my lights and my clothes dryer (which gets in the mood sometimes to beep out a message to me) have been acting up. A dog that I've seen everyday for over a month has started barking at me when in the past all it did was stick its tongue out at me and wag its tail.

Any solutions? You can leave out dementia as that one is too obvious. I have taken a number of online tests on the DNA forums and I'm still as sharp as over 99% of the people that have taken it, in fact, the last one i took I was at 100% on both correctness and speed of processing.

This one might need an answer in Aiawanese.

[Dreamtimer]

Are you field stripping the butts before you send them down the drain? I think Mandela may be sending you a message about your habits. Maybe the balance is lost with the butt disposal...

[Emil El Zapato]

that's heavy, DT ... maybe I've failed at the field stripping level ...

[Dreamtimer]

Be careful how you strip in the field. You never know who's watching.

[Emil El Zapato]

I'm worried now ... wouldn't be the first time 'someone' was spotted on the streets without the proper attire ...
