  • Was back when I was 19 or 20, was hanging out with my buddies from home over the summer while on break

    We were at a McDonald’s at 1:30 or 2 am. Kid around our age comes screeching into the McDonald’s parking lot, going over curbs and everything, sparks flying from two wheels. He had punctured both his front tires and was riding on rims. Turns out one of my friends knew him - he takes a look, looks at the guy, goes “yo man, you probably don’t wanna drive on those”

    Kid goes “yeah well I really want McDonald’s I’m gonna go home after”

    My friend goes “you live about 15 min away, you really shouldn’t drive.”

    He gets his shit and starts driving, sparks still going off. Were a little concerned so we follow him. 200 feet later he gets pulled over, so we pull over behind the cop. The cop looks at us and goes “do you guys know this idiot?”

    My buddy’s like yeah…

    Cop says you should get him in your car.

    Kid refuses. Drives 8 miles home in rims. Smoke everywhere, most awful sound you’ve ever heard. We follow him home, I find out he’s dumb rich.

    We go into his guest house, which was bigger than all of our actual houses, smoke one, then leave.


  • That is of course a possibility and we cannot discount it, but I think it far more likely that we wipe ourselves, and in addition a ton of other life off the planet, but there will always be some that survives. Same way that when the dinosaurs died mammals came up. Maybe they won’t be mammals. Maybe some other form of life, but it will most likely exist after us. And once we are Gone and not constantly throwing more planet warming and toxic gasses and toxic materials out into the world, the earth will slowly correct itself and disseminate that.

    Right now our feedback loops are occurring because we are not really changing anything in what we do.




  • The idea that Hamas is hiding behind innocent people has been completely disproven by the fact that Israel just keeps bombing people with impunity.

    On top of that, it’s a bit wild to talk about how evil Hamas is when Netenyahu and his government quite literally, without hiding it, spoke about how they fund Hamas because they know it makes a Palestinian state harder to come to. Hamas would not be half the issue it is if it wasn’t for the Israeli government.

    Also, when you live in a place that’s about two miles wide and 26 miles long, you are guaranteed to be among the civilian population. The reason they are there is because of Israel in the first place.

    On top of that, resisting an armed occupation with violence is not a crime.

    If you are facing constant apartheid, it is natural to hate the instigator of the apartheid. That happened in South Africa, it happened in India, it’s happened all over the world.

    Finally, Israel keeps stating there are thousands of miles of tunnels under Gaza, with very little evidence of that. There is evidence that THEY built the tunnels and rooms under the hospitals. New York City is almost twice the size of Gaza. The New York subway does not have the miles of tunnels that Israel says exist in Gaza. It doesn’t make any physical sense that they would have that many tunnels

    I’m not defending October 7th at all, but let’s not act like this all began with Palestinians and not Europe just kicking a bunch of Arabs out of their homes because of something EUROPEANS did in the first place.












  • A protest vote in the democratic primary will not elect trump. Biden is still getting the nomination. This is a vote to show him that a large segment of his base does not like what he’s doing.

    And it’s not just Palestine, though that is a HUGE part of it. He has not been a good president. He was the better choice in 2020, and he said he planned on being a 1 term president. He went back on that promise like he has on many others.

    But having a Biden Trump rematch is absolutely ludicrous for this nation, and both parties need to get their heads out of their capitalistic owners assholes.
