Tree-fiddy came so close to making the list I think but it feels right that it didn’t.

I hope that’s my tag now 😂

Because no true Scotsman has proposed one. After all close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Man I am sorry about everything you’ve been through but this, this here, is amazing. Really love your craft here. The expression on his face chefs kiss. Really good that wistful, sad, resignation, I don’t know how to explain it but so so good.

You’re good people and you will make an awesome clown someday.

Johnny Bravo and the Todd from Scrubs are low key the same guy in different stages of evolution.

Yeah and they still tried to kill it as soon as Trump was elected only a sick and dying McCain came in at the last minute to vote with Democrats saved it. And I’ll remind you that the Republican Senate brought up the vote because they thought McCain was to sick to vote.

You do remember in the first year of Trump’s first term they had a vote to kill ‘Obamacare’ and only lost it at the last second when a sick and dying John McCain dragged his ass in to Senate to make the 51st No vote, right? Or last week were they refused to pass an extension on the rebates that make the ACA affordable?

1993 - Bill and Hillary - Just suggesting that they might be interested in a Public Heath option led to a backlash and the Democrats losing 54 seats in the house and 8 Senate seats in the midterms.
2000 - Al Gore - It wasn’t a huge pillar of Gore’s platform but he did campaign on his plan to extend Medicare to pay for prescription drugs, to work for a sensible universal health-care system
2004 - John Kerry - Honestly it really didn’t change his chances but it didn’t help.
2008 - Barrack Obama - He did win and his health plan, which was just a reskin of the Massachusetts health plan, and he even got it through (He did have a Trifecta). But in 2010 the backlash lead to Democrats loosing 63 seats in the house and 7 seats in the Senate.
2012 - It was a squeaker and Obama held on but the Kerry campaign was kind of handicapped by the fact that he was the One who pushed through the Massachusetts health plan.
2016 - Well all of the ‘Medicare for all’ candidates in the Democratic primaries lost to Biden so there too.

History didn’t start in January 2017 with Trumps election. This problem has been rotting in Americas heart for close to a hundred years

Uhhh it lost? Every time someone pushes for Medicare for all they get there asses kick in the election. The only way for Americans to get Medicare for all is to not run on it, and instead jam it past right after an election. Once it’s going they’ll love it but getting there is a struggle or did you not watch what happened with the ACA. Obama jammed it through over major objections, and the Democrats lost heavy in the following midterms. It was albatross around his neck for the rest of his term and only eight years later when the Republicans had a fucking trifecta and try to kill it did Americans decide that the ACA was a good thing.

I love this. There is literally nothing in the world better than listening to someone talk about something they are passionate about. You are an awesome person on the lemmings and hope you don’t mind that I’ve tagged you as “Fucking loves Clowns in a good way”. And honestly it’s never too late to chase you passion. You should look around for some clowning classes near you.

I remember reading an article interviewing a man who lived through the early aughts Argentine Great Depression and he said the best horde of value was cheap diamond rings. You could trade one for a handgun, a couple of bags of groceries, even a motorcycle. He said they were even better than krugerrands. Something about how people trusted someone whose trading a family ring more then some profiteer.

I know comparing corporations to psychopaths is kind of unfair to psychopaths. Most psychopaths can see themselves farther into the future then the end of the quarter.

Interestingly, The Tragedy of the Commons really does work with psychopaths, so once you move from a person to person level to corporations interacting the Tragedy of the Commons problem becomes a serious issue. Take a minimum wage, it necessary for the population as a whole to have surplus wealth to spend to keep an economy going. Individual companies, on the other hand, have an incentive to pay their own employees a pittance. If every company does that then there’s no surplus wealth for people to purchase most goods and slowly the economy grinds to a halt. Hence it’s in society’s best interest to have a healthy and large minimum wage (or better yet a UBI system) which will have to be enforced on companies by an outside force.

Death’s Door - I’m not going to lie I’m old. 3d platformers, hell any platformers that require quick reflexes and precise controls aren’t normally my bag, but this funky little crow is so much fun to play as, I don’t mind the difficulty. (Which I have to admit isn’t that hard I just suck)

Yeah Scorsese has shit he wants to say, and it’s interesting and compelling stuff. But it doesn’t fit in a tight ninety minutes and I miss a tight ninety minutes.

You kind of understand where he was coming from.

I mean Scorsese can tell his story how ever he wants but Killers sure did feel too long and too short at the same time.

Absolutely! The short sighted idiocy of this really points out the corporate thinking only about the next Q. This would get maybe a month before the economic crash

Honestly? My real conspiracy theory is that the the fappening wasn’t an Apple iCloud leak, it was a NSA leak.
In 2014 a whole bunch of celebrities nude photos got put up anonymously on 4chn and reddit. The FBI ended up blaming a guy from Cleveland. But during the same time the NSA was operating under a 6 hop rule for sweeping cell phones and operators at Langley were notorious for copying off photos from random cellphones that they could access too.
The 6 hops rule let the NSA guys get a secret warrant to remotely search a phone if someone is a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact who’s a suspected terrorist. That is a hell of a lot of people and I’m sure a lot of celebrities.
So I’m sure the guys at the NSA were collecting and then trading various celebrities nude photos, and one of them was stupid enough to start posting them for clout on 4chn. I believe that they were disciplined and that put a stop to it but they had to find someone to take the heat and they got Apple to do that.
