I have no hole into which you can pigeon me. I'm unique. Just like everyone else.

I'm equal parts seven, seventeen, and seventy, and have been since elementary school. I've got the open ended curiosity of a seven year old, the suicidal bravery of a seventeen year old, and the wisdom of an old man.

I am equal parts George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter Thompson, and Charles Bukowski.

    I live in the US and, frankly, you're helpless against a SWAT sniper, let alone a drone. That's not how you keep your freedoms.MLK showed how it's done, although I do expect to see fighting around this election.

    A vest/gas mask would be a good purchase, but a combination of too expensive and uncomfortable.

    Edit: And, yeah, they're just now becoming able to see how shock waves travel through your brain and tear up all kinds of those axon/dendrite connections.

    Step back a bit. America probably gave the Saudi royals a trillion dollars over the decades, which they used to spread militant Wahibism across the Middle East.

    I don't think this person is worth engaging, but I'm American, worked in the wholesale side of drug dealing where we were dealing with thousands of doses at a time, and nobody had a gun. You know not of what you speak.

    Real criminals generally don't carry a gun. It adds years to the charge.

    And, and--actual terrorists who beat cops to death and spread human feces over the Capitol building did at most four years and got pardoned.

    Really? I mean...yer right. It just seems a waste of electrons to point out the obvious imbecility of her "philosophy". there's always been a lucrative market for telling rich people what they want to hear. Jesus fuckme christ, is anyone honestly arguing Rand on her merits? Or lack thereov?

    Ayn rand was a third rate philosopher and fifth rate philosopher. Yeah, "Anthem" did skewer Soviet communism. That's not...a high bar. Otherwise, bitch was just a sex cult monster.

    If you're going to control someone through their denial mechanism, it helps to give them a lot to be in denial of. It's a feature, not a bug.

    It's time for drug class in high school. Half your teachers were getting high anyway--devote the last period of the day to learning intoxication under experienced supervision.

  • TIL that cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling products of all time. It cost nearly $1,000 per pill, even though that same pill cost just 25 cents to make

    Reasonably priced recreational drugs:

    the 3 addictive powders: $10/oz, pure

    Weed: $100/lb

    You could actually earn plenty of money at half these prices, but I made allowances for sin taxes.

    Footnote from Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman:

    "NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system:

    Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

    The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."

    Thank you.

    I love Mastodon, I love the Linux community. It's so nice to ask questions and get real answers from people who actually know what they're talking about.

    Thanks all!
