[The Ugly One]

The next day was eye-opening though. Lots of canceled classes. Lots of jobs just asking people to stay home "to heal". I had a class that didn't cancel, but instead the professor asked everyone who wanted to to vent their feelings, and we could all talk about it... this was a geology class taught by an elderly Chinese immigrant...

The response made me lose any last bit of respect I had for libs. When King Nigger won in 2008, I didn't get a day off for "healing," and nobody was offering me free therapy. You lost an election, get the fuck over it, life moves on. What did Trump even run on? He ran on 1970s trade policy, 1980s military policy, 1950s immigration policy, and 1990s social policy, big fuckin' deal. Anyone who unironically thinks arresting and removing people from the country who entered illegally is "literally Hitler" is an adult baby.

I can’t admit I preferred Jen Psaki because she’s an evil subversive cunt, but yeah she was better at the actual job of rhetorical jiu jitsu and she was easier on the eyes, may she rot in hell

Psaki knew it was a gig and I can respect that. KJP was a believer and it made her insufferable.

Sorry I should’ve clarified but I think adhd is something that should be an instant disqualification for air traffic controllers.

ADHD isn't real.

We chose to focus on the wrong things, and now we're never going to go to space or have flying cars, not within our lifetime anyways but probably never.

With a change in banking practice, education, and intelligence agencies we could have the country turn around quickly. I believe we'll see two of the three (education, and intel agencies) for sure. We might not have flying cars but I could see moon colonies by 2050.

Are you high? PLENTY of folks had objections to it. It’s just that those were for the most part just regular folks and the folks in power all wanted it. Remember that support for Iraq II was bipartisan. All the big Dems like Biden and Clinton were for it. Kerry had to flip-flop in 04 by saying “I was for it before I was against it” or was that Clinton? IDK.

They definitely seem to have succeded in spreading American culture in Iraq

Ok, but if you’re on prescription amphetamines, maybe that’s not good for ATC.

But then again maybe it is.

I don’t know.

My point is that I think acclimating yourself to constant external amphetamines (your body produces some naturally) is real

Bill O'Reilly is points out how quick the MSM is to pick up lies and how slow to issue corrections after the "ICE raids elementary schools" schitk that MSNBC and NBC were pushing yesterday.

He say's "we are living the United States of Disinformation" and as a old time journalist you can see this really get under his skin as it's just talking heads blatantly lying to the public to push their narrative.

If I ever meet Biden I would ask him what Jen Psaki's hair smells like. Any man who wouldn't fuck any of the top 86% attractive (Caucasian) women is irrefutably gay, the Prosecution rests.

Do you think he’d be able to answer? Maybe it depends on the time of day and if he got his whole 19 hour nap or not

If you wouldn't then you are:
a) not a man
2) not a heterosexual
d) low-test

She's a very attractive woman, she's smart and she's in a powerful position. She hits all the notes for me, and I don't want to sleep with her, I want to make her mine and bask in her sexuality. Shame i'm a busted up broke dick loser compared to her husband.

Be honest, do y'all (or have you) considered me a "fed?"

I consider you to be a quality poster who has achieved significant personal growth, has an impeccable taste in movies, a minorly questionable taste in women, and is afflicted with revitiligo.

I literally put the trash can next to the shower so she'll throw her hair in there. I'm so tired of buying drain-o bros.

I told everyone at my New Year's party no matter what you do, do not throw up in the bathroom sink. You can throw up literally anywhere else in the bathroom, even on the floor . But do not throw up in the sink, it will get clogged and take me the better part of several hours to unfuck because of how old my plumbing is.
What is my friend's wife do? She throws up in the goddamn sink, completely clogged it, and somehow managed to knock the connection for the hot water loose. I ended up with a leak under the sink that was putting out a liter of water every 6 hours for several days until I was able to fix it.

Protips for clogged drains:
don't use an air compressor to try to move a deep clog, it can be too much on the pipes and cause you serious issues. Instead use a Shop-Vac. It doesn't generate nearly as much pressure and you can alternate between the vacuum and blow to get everything moving.
In addition to using Drano, I highly recommend filling an electric kettle with boiling water and pouring that down the drain as well. The heat will help loosen up whatever blockage you're having, allowing the Drano to do its job more efficiently.

"Right now, we're going to keep focus on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaires, donors, and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working class Americans across the country with the bill," Jeffries said.

"That's not acceptable. We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We're going to fight it in the streets."

Any give a qrd on what Trump getting elected in 2016 felt like? (I wasn't that interested in politics back then) I heard the main difference between then and now is that it legit felt out of the blue. Like, no one expected Michigan and Pennsylvania to flip.

The response was massive. People flooded the streets in protest. I was a triggered youth at the time and beside myself. Trump was suddenly injected into everything. From conversations with every random person you met. To television shows going full TDS. Before Trump won, up until the very moment his win was announced, he was treated like a joke.

The second he won liberals began melting down in ways that changed the fabric of our life. Lefties started cannibalizing each other with purity tests. Family and friends were cut off. Edgy humor was suddenly off the table. Adult comedy movies experienced a sudden death. People were getting fired from their jobs because they mentioned voting for Trump on Facebook or Twitter.

Liberals, with their TDS PTSD, became the pearl clutching party. Growing up the Democrats were treated as the "cool" party. And, since they had entrenched themselves in the entertainment sector, it felt like the had the reigns. This is when legacy media still had a modicum left of influence. So, they immediately went to work misrepresenting literally anything Trump said or did.

Bill O'Reilly is such a fucking asshole (which was his undoing) but fuck me if he isn't right a lot of times.

ADHD is rather misunderstood to mean that people can't pay attention at all. The reality is that people with ADHD have the ability to hyperfocus under certain conditions. Now most people with self-diagnosed ADHD won't mention this because they're using their self-diagnosis for their own selfish purposes and having strengths goes against that narrative.

But someone with ADHD can be a tremendous ATC because of their ability to hyperfocus. You just need to weed out the ones who can't do that.

It is.
If you took ADHD meds in school and are off them then you might be qualified and will face a screening.

The rule is to make sure that you weren't just medicated for the sake of being medicated.

If they find you have ACTUAL ADHD then you're out on your ass.

Aint nobody cooking their medium rare beef or brewing up their favourite wine. They would fucking shoot themselves, if denied the pleasures they have now, for a tabula rasa world.

Nah, most of these people are overconfident narcissists, they play it smart economically, but planning for that kind of future isn't in their playbook. Their superbunkers will fail as everything else does.

Be it cunning or ruthlessness, these people are cutthroat psychopaths and it will take a whole lot more than cushy living conditions in a secluded place with food and water for them to crack.

These elite bunkers are going to fail because the elites exist inside a simulation comprised of such abstract complexity that any attempt to export their ideas into the real world fails. Just one example, they're so used to having a vast interconnected system of external control enforcing their will that they have no idea how to actually inspire loyalty or command leadership. When they don't have an entire economic system, court infrastructure, or media empire to put pressure on people and compel their actions you get this:


Their bunkers or redoubts get taken over by their security team, or whoever comes across them due to poor OpSec. The entire lives of the 'elite' are all inside a system that only tangentially intersects with reality, and when that system fails they will be left powerless.

Usually their cut away segments are so fucking unfunny it hurts. But this is word for word, shot for shot, what Bill O'Reilly did. But yes he is a good journo.
