Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

And if there is no threat, let's phone one in so we can do it anyway.

I bet there's some interesting backroom conversations going on there.

I don't think you can get kicked off of facebook for that. Our Prime Minister is still on there.

Fukken do it, quickly!

"didu you maku zu babisu, Donardo?"

"Yes Shinzo, we're not talking about that now"

"MAKU ZU BABISU!"

I don't think so. Nyquil is mostly just tylenol these days, no different than most any other cough syrup -- at least in my neck of the woods.

Colbert used to be funny sometimes, but most of these people went so far up their own asses they have fractal teeth now.

I want my old green death nyquil, that'll knock you out and let you see the face of God if you try to fight it to humble you, back.

A lot of people need to come to earth and nail their feet to the floor and start living in reality again.

Every election is going to have one group happy they one and one group upset they lost. The world keep spinning for both groups, and 4 years later give or take, there's another one and candidates can try again.

I know it's a joke, but it's entirely possible to become a millionaire without doing much other than living within your means with a decent job.

If you can put $225 per bi-weekly cheque into investments that average about 7% per year, and you do that from the time you're 25 until the time you're 60, you're a millionaire without anything else going on. If you wait until you're 35, it'll be a bit tougher, but you can become a millionaire by saving about 600 a cheque.

The miracle is the combination of compound interest, but also compound saving. If you wait until you're 40 to start saving, it becomes quite a bit harder, requiring 1000 a cheque.

The most important key here is that a million dollars sounds like a lot of money, but a lot of regular people get there through boring savings plans over a very long time.

And imagine if you move to Canora to move into a creepy house that looks like a crackhouse for $25,000 -- who knows how much that can go up over the years once you clean all the heroin stains off the walls and floor and ceiling!

Looks like it's still Tim Pool O'Clock.

damnit, ya got me.

Bring back the monarchy where people have to fight a war get the job.

That was exactly my thinking.

It just occurred to me that we just had a presidential election where the president and vice president had numerous long form discussions on podcasts including significant policy discussion.

For someone like me, we're actually in a golden age. I want long form discussion and debate where ideas actually get a chance to stretch their legs, and that just won the presidency in a sweep!

It's crazy, like an anti-intellectual high intellectual golden age. One thing as bright as the sun in an otherwise dark era.

"why did the gooks and the spooks vote for that racist?" -reddit

Some people I actually like are really struggling to understand how Trump could win, and I write up a big post explaining, then delete it because what's the point? I'll just get blocked and called a nazi anyway.

Which is why a lot of people are struggling to understand how Trump could win.

At the end of the day, men are always responsible for a pregnancy they cause regardless and they lack any choice in the matter, so the old advice to save sex until you're capable of taking responsibility for a life is good advice.
