Also, consider missing with your shot and hitting a little girl merrily going on her way to school, store, etc. And be sure to keep your lawyer on retainer should you do this. And do not forget basic gun safety, keep it locked up and away from your kids. And also keep aware of your mental health as a gun can represent a quick escape from the world. So go buy a Glock, hell buy one for yourself and 10 of your friends. They'll be friends of yours for life, yes?

Just out of curiosity, how many butterflies do you figure the scientists can reasonably be expected to tag? Sometimes it helps to have a sense of proportion. Mathematics can help. Sociology would tie up the loose ends for you. So you needn't gets your knickers in a twist over this.

Yeah, why would we want to understand the world around us. It's all magical and simply is, right? Hint: understanding the world can tell us when, how, and why we are screwing it up. Whale song changes might indicate those changes. But, please, wallow in your unenlightened bubble of ignorance. What you don't know, won't hurt you, right?

It's not just greenflation. Companies have realized that they can make more money focusing on the top 10% of consumers and just what the bottom 90 go to hell. If they had the slightest fear of competition then they wouldn't take that risk because a competitor might work their way up in the cheaper markets and then jump into the more profitable ones, but since we don't enforce antitrust law because we're busy freaking out about trans girls playing field hockey in the Midwest you can kiss that goodbye.

Comment We still had massive infrastructure spending (Score 1, Interesting) 84

Back in the '80s which kept the economy going and then we followed that with two huge economic bubbles that kept things going. There was also a lot more government assistance back then in a lot of ways that we don't think about. I'm not talking about food stamps I'm talking about heavy duty subsidies like the aforementioned infrastructure spending that made it easier to get jobs.

We were in a much better position to weather 12 years of Republican rule back then. The Republicans have been building up to this for 60 years, ever since Goldwater lost. Trump is the final form of the party. A pedophile pretending to be godly while openly admitting he will burn in hell and still somehow tremendously popular with the party.

It's not just about how terrible Trump is it's about how voters would let somebody like that have that much power. It's a sign that our civilization is near collapse. A fundamental breakdown in the institutions that have been protecting all of us for our entire lives.
