Exactly that. Which ironically doesn’t mean that everything that they say is false… but it does mean that everything that they say is suspect.

We need a billionaire to swoop in an save us. Which won’t happen, so we need a grass roots effort from the ground up to save us. Which won’t happen so we need a spaghett monster or god to save us. Which won’t happen bc e.g. the Christian God allows free will hence consequences… so we need aliens to save us. Which won’t happen bc they do not exist - that we can demonstrate.

It is a lot easier to destroy than to create, and it will require enormous efforts to maintain constant vigilance to know things in the future, in this our mis- and worse yet dis-information era.

Rules for Rulers

The rulers change, but the rules do not.

I feel like we both mentioned facts there - hopefully we added something to the conversation, that there’s some nuance wherein it both is but also is not The Onion, depending on which “it” we’re talking about:-).

Ho ho ho, okay then! (But not me in reverse - I don’t think I want to know!?:-P)

For-profit media sells whatever makes them the highest profits. (Those who won’t, make way to those who will, or remain in obscurity e.g. how many people have even heard of Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios.)

They will sell anything it seems, with little to no regard for facts. Then they leave it to you to determine the lies of omission, while hunting for the real truth, i.e. to do the true work of journalism. But usually unpaid, painstakingly, and again you’ll never be able to share that message by virtue of being in conflict with the for-profit sources. Or if you do, who would even understand you, especially among the sheeple who either cannot and/or also will not bother to read anything at all.

Some people like Jon Stewart have railed against this for decades… but he lost, and it’s worse than ever before. Adjust your expectations accordingly. This is the world.

Okay it looked more like 3, but still you can imagine the joke as if it were funny 🤣.

Green definitely learned their lesson: don’t talk to the drug addict until after they get their fix 🫠.

Edit: a very well-done comic either way to be clear. 😁

I almost cross-posted this video to fuckcars, but held back bc people tend to dislike my video shares. Anyway the word is getting out there, both of the dangers of cars, and alcohol, and especially the combination, and furthermore the dangers for others who did not make the choice to drive.

Next time he should try booking the Four Seasons… Landscaping and Gardening Service. 😜

If he had mistimed that, we would have seen a VERY different ending here, delivered as it would have been to/from the man in the muscle t-shirt 👕.

Tbf, this community is called “The Onion”:-P

What if - just hear me out - your name was not Steve? 😜

I mean, blue shirt is being a bit of a Karen there… but green kinda brought that into themselves too, so I guess it all evens out:-P.

Oh dear I didn’t even think of that 🫠. LET THE MURDER GAMES COMMENCE! 🔪 (I’ll offer you a 2s head start, beginning… NOW!)

Speaking of, I saw a post today that lead me to check out Reddit for the first time in months… damn we sure do have much more friendly conversations here! It’s enough to make me forget all the years of toxicity there, towards the end. 🙃

How ashamed of myself should I be that I found this funny? 🤣

Yeah, why not just 11 minutes surrounding 9am? :-P

Hehe caveats definitely apply, like if you are talking to someone only over the phone, then maybe don’t say that one 😜 😉.

But it’s a good thought.

Weird bc I got my certificate right away… oh I mean uh, yeah, s-s-s-sure!:-)

I may do that! (Read: I won’t do that!:-)
