I'm in a nasty frame of mind right now, and this is what my 'tism brain decided to laser focus on for several hours. I'm mad that my light bulbs cost 10x more than they used to, and don't last any longer, and my power bill is higher than ever.

Yeah yeah, I know, it's probably just capitalism shitting it up on purpose for profit. And bulb science is probably solid, I guess. I'm just pissed off that I just barely managed to scrape through this pay period with $2.78 left in the bank before I default on my mortgage.

Anyway, any lightbulb science comrades got any info?

This isn't communism, this is clearly monarchism.

Help, I can't beat hard mode bosses anymore. I'm relinquishing my Gamer Card as we speak. Current strategy:

Joe Mansion and Christian Cinema are just this administration's Joe Liberalman. Aw beans, we wanted to do a good thing, but this one guy is gumming up the works! If only there was something we could do...

... like kick him off his committees. Pull his funding. Pull his endorsements. Revoke his party membership. Revoke federal contracts and close military bases in his state. Anything. Literally just change the rules! The Senate can do that!

And that's just moral, ethical, rules-and-order-and-norms stuff they could do. There's plenty of evil (but perfectly legal) shit the President can do. Pull Mansion or Sinema into the back of The Beast, and show them some live footage of a predator drone flying over their houses. Remember, Obama established that you can drone strike US citizens if you're the President!

Don't worry! Downvotes are only for flagging content that doesn't belong here. It will never be used as an "I disagree" button.

This is also why we at Reddit don't have a report button, because the free marketplace of ideas will naturally sort out posts and comments that are appropriate. Wait, I'm receiving a new update, you DO HAVE A BUTTON TO REPO—

Wow I can't believe you'd post a video from known Moscow-backed front organization... CNN?

Seriously, have none of these guys listened to Rachel Jake's podcast?

How the fresh fuck is this even a thing still? Even back in the 90's I heard dudes making gags about "Uncle Ben Hot Rods". You know. RICE IT UP!

GET IT? They're shitty race cars made by a shitty race who only makes cheap stuff!

I wonder though - if Russia hadn't illegally occupied Ukraine/Crimea, would that have happened?

If Ukrainian neo-Nazis hadn't trapped ethnic Russians in a building and burned them alive, would Russia have invaded?

My point is: there are no good guys in this conflict. Just two bad guys duking it out, with regular schmucks like you and me getting murdered for no reason. Anything that prolongs the conflict is bad.

China: sends Russia six helicopters (before the war), some children's toys, a box of consumer-grade hunting scopes, and metal. They are the bad guys who are prolonging the war.

NATO: sends Ukraine weapons and military vehicles worth more than China's entire military budget, and provides training and logistics support. They are the good guys trying to end the war.

In fairness, ol' Joe just learned about the Tikky Tockies, so he thinks China is all clocks and timers now.
