@Alfred Good man. I believe in you, pal.
@Alfred I'm okay. Have you been studying for your Turing test?
Local grocery is having a Concussion Bowl sale on blueberry cream pies. Silver linings.
@Render Nirvana.
@MouthyMisfit Beyond frustrating. People's livestock and pets are getting sick and dying. How long until the humans start doing the same? It'll be hard to shrug off then, but I bet they'll still try.
@tiptoeing You might be on to something. 😅
@MouthyMisfit It's the latest obvious example of governments prioritizing corporate well-being over human well-being, with various media "choosing" to be complacent. If you're not hearing about Ohio from an individual online, you really might not be hearing about it.
The rail workers kept sounding the alarm, but cutting corners to save money was more important for the business. If only the rail workers had something like a union...
@tiptoeing That's true! Until I need more caffeine or get hungry again. ☺️
@peeppeepcircus Had to shove a burger down my gullet first...
@tiptoeing By the time I worked up the nerve to go out in the cold rain, my stomach told me to grab some food with the caffeine... I do feel less feral now.
Alright, finally got my caffeine. Hugs for everybody.
@thedisasterautist It gets old, really quick. I've seen all those same examples. People forget, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," and it does seem lots of folks are fumbling in the dark these days.
Anyone can spout some cliche to excuse their ignorance, but if you follow the argument through to the end, it's not backed by fact.
Not prepared to argue what you feel is true without virtue signaling or making an emotional argument? Maybe you should study more and sit that one out!
Using the hypocrisy of your ideological adversary as an excuse to perform the same actions you chastise them for doesn't do anything but drag you down to their level, and open you up to the same criticisms and lack of due respect - maybe more so, if you truly believe you're on the "good" side. It's falling prey to a sort of dark, or negative, empathy.
Pardon the intrusion. Enjoy the Concussion Bowl and the overpriced ads. I type any more and this turns into a Bill Hicks set. Coffee please?!
One last grump post before I search for some sort of caffeine:
People will often ignore the truth, or the pursuit of it, over something easy to digest that aligns with their beliefs and prejudices. No individual is safe from this potential mistake - no ideology is so sound that it is rendered totally immune.
To call out the errors of others, while making the same errors in your own space, is quite literally the definition of a hypocrite.
Isn't hypocrisy still a bad example to set?
People will refute all kinds of lies, only to use the untruth of those things as "proof" their own lies are really true. That make sense?
Mornin', folks. I'm out of coffee.
Alright folks, night's winding down - let's go for a soft landing.
Enjoy the entirety of Devo's "E-Z Listening Disc" from 1987, featuring lounge music-style instrumentals they made from several of their hits.

"Out there" and yet it debuted at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 in April '93, going gold in September of the same year.
Let's celebrate that with one of the strangest videos ever made, yes?
@InUnfunky Yeah, going "out there" didn't always imply it couldn't be popular! Just listened to this one, been playing Pork Soda all the way through tonight.
Screw it, it's almost 1:30am. Let's get a little out there.
