You know what really, really, really sucks?

All of this. Take the titles and names of the religions away. Make up new words. Call them all whatever you want to and you know what they all have in common?

Their humanity.

Any of us would be animals under the right circumstances. All of history says exactly that.

I wish we could find a way to do away with all of it.

Even then though, atheist states have committed mass murder. It isn’t just religion, it’s humanity. Isn’t that sad?

If we erased all of our history tomorrow and gave humans a damn Nintendo and a handful of cartridges, we’d be killing each other over Mario bros in 100 years.

I really wish I was just sitting in a dirty house in West Virginia, breathing exclusively from my mouth, saliva dripping at my feet. I wish I didn’t see humanity for what it is.

What really, really sucks is that we could drop this crap and get along if we were truly intelligent. We aren’t. We’re herds of bloodthirsty animals making things up so we can FEEL like we have meaning.

Oh well.

I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.

"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless," the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, "and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it…"

Holy crap, they did.

I spent a lot of my life there and boy oh boy.

I hear it’s nicer up north, but I couldn’t afford to go anywhere and check it out. It is WILD where I came from.

Oh, and yours isn’t the comment I meant to reply to.

Shitter, zitter. It’s all gravy baby.

I mean, shitter is cool and all. It ain’t poppin’ though.

Each post that goes viral is poppin’.

If it really blows up it’s BACKNE and it’s POPPIN’!

But the best xits are all BLOWING THE FUCK UP!

Whole place was covered in pus! means EVERYONE popped it. To pop a xit is to share a post.

Gah. Hep me loard.

Xitter! It’s poppin’!

Me too. My favorite memories come from Unreal Tournament on Dreamcast. I had this terrible, ancient LCD projector that overheated and turned off over and over again. It had to be opened, so to block the light I stuck a black sheet over it and stuck a fan in the window.

We had a huge screen that honestly was probably barely visible, and we had a blast.

God I miss my job.

More than 20 years of peace and I took it for granted. When the boss started talking about selling the place I thought, “Who would buy this outdated hole in the ground that makes no real money and is surrounded by competition?”

What bums me out the most though is that when I was 16 he said, “Come work for me. In 10 years I intend to retire and I’ll lease one of these places out to you and you’ll take over when I die.”

I knew it wasn’t happening at the 11 year mark.

Don’t be loyal. Jump around. Don’t throw your life and time away. Everyone I know who has ever made any money did so by selling their skills to the highest bidder.

I helped someone else get everything they ever wanted and I got nothing but promises.

Don’t do that. Seriously.

(I should have made this its own comment but yours is the one that moved me to write it. The speech is directed mostly at OP and anyone else who stumbles onto it.)

Let me know if it’s any good. I’ll totally eat the next one if it is.

Could be Hitler Dino Cat as a Venture Bros character.

Hate me if you want to. I don’t mind.

Awww man you just unlocked a memory of mine. I had several of those.

Also, like the other person who replied to you, I had He-Man toys that did that. I’m like 90% sure it was Skeletor and He-Man.
