M-m-muh both sides!

Yep, seems the safer gamble to me. At least I’ll be happier than renting.

And why should I be confident that any of that is going to survive the next 4 years?

I’m not afraid of risk. I just spent the last month watching a couple of the world’s worst narcissists disassemble my government with ease so that they could loot us for every penny they can steal. They’re trying to kill every agency that benefits the public, including the one where I get my healthcare. These men are unfit to manage a fast food joint, but now they’ve got the planet’s #1 nuclear power by the throat. I weighed the probabilities and the penalties, then made my decision. I’d rather have the money now. I no longer expect to grow old.

Why should I be confident that our recent economy will survive? I pulled my money out before they could collapse the entire house of cards. I’m now in the process of buying remote land with a house on it. I plan to put up a few greenhouses and raise chickens and goats. I’ll provide shelter to persecuted people in need. Try to live solarpunk while we can.

It was. Is there a good reason why I should be confident that the money will still be there IF I get to retire? Should I expect even to live that long? I feel it’s better invested in a house and land out near the middle of nowhere.

I already pulled my retirement.

Too easy for the rich to get out. Bring out the guillotines.

Hunters hunt overpopulated animals. Ever heard of deer? If they aren’t hunted, their populations explode, and they start starving in winter and spreading disease. Because in earlier times people didn’t have proper hunting laws and killed off all the predators. That’s why we have laws about that now.

Poachers violate those laws to illegally destroy animals, often endangered, usually to sell body parts on the black market. I wasn’t defending poachers, numbnuts. May lions, tigers, and bears eat them all alive.

Hunters hunt overpopulated animals. Humans before us killed off most predators, leaving us with the duty of filling the roles of predators to control prep populations.

Hunting is necessary, unless you want lions, bears, and wolves in your backyard, or else thousands of deer eating crops and crossing the highways.

Let’s see that package

To the pain!

9 times out of 10, I won’t see your brand new AAA title for several years after release. While there are occasional exceptions, I don’t really buy at launch. Your cutting edge graphics mean nothing to me without story, characters, and writing. If you invest in looks without substance, I will never waste my time with you.

General strike. Mutual aid networks. Community defense.

I know a few things which ought to matter a whole lot more to executives.

He was probably shooting subsonics, knowing they wouldn’t cycle the action. Silencers make a reliable gun unreliable by changing the gas system pressures. One way to make it reliable is to make sure every shot has to be manually cycled by shooting underpowered rounds.

What’s nice about that is that there are only so many retired elite soldiers willing to work as private bodyguards. The more jobs available for them means they’ll all have to settle for a lower quality of skill.

I do like that splash screen on Windows before login, where it shows me a different beautiful landscape each day.

It’s about the money laundering.

I used to love dreaming about near future space travel.

Probably my fault guys. I tell Google to fuck off every time it pipes up with its stupid voice. Sorry about that.
