To be fair he’s been sober longer since being sober to now than from being published to getting sober. But I don’t doubt that in the early years it helped write through some worse times.

Though if you read on writing the dude made a shitload of money from Carrie and I think his next novel to buy an awesome house.

Okay doubled checked 200k (what he made from Carrie) in 74 is worth about 1.3 million now (though probably over years I just did the inflation calculator from its release). Dude won the lottery on his first novel and kept writing … Well some great some not as fun, but never technically awful. Though opinions differ for sure. I always enjoyed his books overall, first novel I read over 1000 pages, and way too young IT.

Wasn’t that part of project 2025 though? So pretty much what he said he’d do? Well besides saying he knew nothing about it but that means it was expected.

Aren’t all the Plantir people (well people with money high up) epushing for an accelerationist movement with their stuff? I would think the billionaires are serious is all. Mean it sounds freaking stupid to me but I don’t have the bullhorn that the people who have all our private data does is all. However with the US they’re using project 2025 as a starting point before they buy up everything after it breaks. Least that’s what it appears, mean the VP is picked, groomed and supported by Theil. Just have to let them break enough then swoop in and mould a society they wanted. It’s not something 99.99% of what people would want from what I can tell.

Perhaps I’m missing some subtly which I will say I haven’t really looked into the definitions a lot but I don’t think with current forces is as much of a strawman as it may seem is all. Though I don’t think people on that side would want the same outcome as Mr Green is all.

Heh zombie…but I was rich. Where’s the manager?

There may be a new version for sale soon after with ‘corrections’, the orange trump bible, only costs 100% more than similar ones.

Then he’ll keep doing it to update it.

13/f/ca (just answering the meme to the best of my knowledge, never know when a similar one comes up)

Don’t worry United States you elected someone almost as intelligent as he is for president.

Course don’t get me wrong, take a known biologist (apologize I don’t know any specific ones) I’m sure many took specimens to be studied for later. Unfortunately this person has shown he’s a complete idiot.

Does it really matter in this administration when they just tear everything down? Shit the mic is live… seriously US get your house in order you got someone who’s claimed to have brain worms helping diamantle your health department. Like only worse thing would be whatever the president is doing at 3am…shit posting to his owned social media.

It’s amusing how quickly you can fall from world superiority to dumpster from a lack of critical thinking. No way can they afford shit soon with the recent spending. Either educate people to be a decent army or afford the weapons but not both with their budget. They don’t have China’s numbers and less educated than any European army. Soon they won’t have money cause people aren’t producing enough taxes. Congrats US.

Meh (as a standard gen x answer).

I’m sure in Canada there are some issues with regulating it but can’t say I’ve had more than ‘this doesn’t quite impact me the same as other bud I’ve purchased in % range of thc’ and yeah I know other factors too.

Quite pleasant being able to get bud shipped to your door through postal system, just either have to sign or pick up the package the next day after 1pm if you weren’t home. Plus comes express so usually only a couple business days. It’s relatively safe (depending on format) but you still can get gummies and such to mitigate some health risks. Then you get the bonus of helping through regular taxes, which I know most people don’t like but society has to run somehow. Prices were higher when first introduced then came down as more supply available, though that took a couple years really.

Hey it could be a DUI hire like others too…I don’t know much about her if that could be accurate but if she’s going with that ship she’s a fucking douche. No one with any sense of morality would ever accept a position from them.

Funny how apparently all the ‘christian/godly’ (outspoken ones) types are attaching themselves to the apparent anti Christ. Well probably not literally but the description fits 1:1 and I’m an atheist but I think the Bible had a good description of that charlaton.

I recall reading some old philosopher and they described the worst person, it was Trump. I could never find it again forget but it was Plato or Aristotle I think. There have always been those types in all of history. Somehow the US was hoodwinked into actually giving him power, rather than run him off like the snake oil salesmen he is.

No idea of the comic (mean hadn’t seen it as far as I know) but this joke made me laugh. Reminds me of Perry Bible fellowship which has some of the most odd humour but right up my alley.

I don’t doubt that the actual people pulling the strings (I’ll say 2025 unsure if it was religious sided but think it was) are quite religious. Trump as usual is the greedy idiot they make this the fault of, mean why would the US elect someone who wasn’t really proper leader in charge? So he gets the blame, he’s at his end run out his usefulness anyways but enough moves have been made they can’t go back now so just push forward.

The rapture dudes are all probably in ecstasy at the moment when in reality it’ll leave the world in a worse situation.

Wait typing this thing out made me realize the fault of people is not understanding when we’re wrong least the higher ups. So many of us can’t stand saying we’re wrong. I’d rock to tell the US it’s okay to be wrong, take your licks and come play with us again. But they’re too ornary.

Personally I hate being wrong it’s a knife to the gut. But you know what? That’s how I learn to improve. I learn not to be wrong in the future from those actions. Too bad the US is run by someone who can’t learn a lesson we teach toddlers.

There was an article saying it was for religious reasons, military people calling in to a hotline they have to say they were told orders were sanctioned by god or something similar.

I’m not religious (do know a fair but of what pre high school kids tends to learn) but according to the old testament the Christian God(well all same God for participants technically unless I’m misunderstanding my theology) doesn’t need help if he wants to wipe out people.

Imagine saying you’re on a holy war because Trump says so? That sounds wild even for some of the out there comedies.

Yeah if he is correct I wouldn’t want to shout that out myself but congrats on him for bringing awareness to an issue that I’m sure many men’s lives have been worse for. Not like we can control the size of any body part but it would make for difficult relationships. Yes I know size isn’t everything but that’s a bit different category of issue is all.

And being next door when Trump has commented on the 51st state, it may not be the best time to condem something with all the military geared up, they could mostly squash us as a side quest. Least that’s what I hope. Mean I think the PM could have been less accepting of the situation in his message but I’m sure there’s a fine line. I’m also not much into international relations so sort of trying to be optimistic considering our other choice of leader (okay technically more but it’s two parties realistically though the NDP has been needed for coalition governments).
