Yes, but at the cost of long range visibility and wind, which I guess would only be a problem in certain specific circumstances.

The electrical college is bullshit

Shocking!

Worried about chemtrails, don’t believe in global warming. Worried about fluoride, aren’t concerned about lead in the drinking water. Worried about vaccines causing autism, aren’t worried about factories releasing PFAS into the environment. Worried about what they teach at Harvard, majority of voter base has no college degree. Worried about Bruce Springsteen, see nothing wrong with Kid Rock. Worried about immigrants, love Columbus Day.

Assuming a “jug” is 1 liter, and we’ll assume we’re drinking the 473 ml standard monsters.

Just between the monsters and pedialytes alone we’re looking at:

320mg of caffeine (about 3.5 cups of coffee)

~250g sugar (500% daily recommended, roughly equivalent to 63 sugar cubes)

~3660g sodium (~160% daily recommended, roughly equivalent to the sodium in 26 strips of bacon)

Add all the booze that made you drunk in the first place and I’d say you’re well on your way to punishing some serious porcelain.

Yes. It’s important.

Well. I would argue that drug use is all about hammering reality into a tolerable/enjoyable shape. Fascists by definition also transform through force. The key distinction seems to be a drug user themselves become transformed through chemical force, where as the fascist forces others to change using violence/threat of violence. In both cases though, there exists a certain egomaniacal reluctance to meet the terms of reality, and instead attempt to change the terms through force. There is a very consistent common bond between the hyper wealthy, the tyrannical, and the drug dependant, to be very stubborn and narcissistic. In all three, the ego is driving the bus, and there is some corruption with self esteem. In all three there is a fundamental inability to accurately assign value. A lot of money/power/release is never enough. The only acceptable amount is “more”. And the compulsion to find more: wealth, or power, or opportunity to use substances, becomes the whole point of waking life. Until it’s just you and the compulsion in the world alone, and every thing and every one else is just a puzzle you solve to get more like a rat in an experiment. Long story short, people at odds with reality tend to use similar and often overlapping tactics to get by. What do the tyrant, the drug addict, and the billionaire all have in common? A singular focus to fill an unfillable hole.

Hell yeah.

Smart people make things good, people forget what bad is, bad people take advantage of good people, bad people subjugate good people, good people do something smart, repeat.

One of the 8 US presidents who went to Harvard. Including John Adams, both Quincy and senior, to give you an idea of just how long Harvard has been around.

There are like 79 Nobel prize winning alumni, with 11 of those being peace prizes. Something tells me that “none” is a pretty low estimate for “good for the world”.

Harvard offers need-based financial aid to approximately 55% of its undergraduate students, covering 100% of demonstrated financial need. Families with incomes below $100,000 are not expected to contribute to their child’s education. In 2022, families with incomes of $75,000 or less did not pay anything toward the cost of education.

Well, strictly speaking, if your location didn’t change you’d be transported into empty space. So you wouldn’t have very much to worry about for long.

A small protest in a red place is likely more meaningful than a large one in a blue. Thanks for getting out there.

I generally agree that he’s not a business man in the strictest sense. But he is undeniably “successful”. He’s lived the lavish lifestyle of his dreams, he’s never suffered any meaningful consequences, and he’s been elected president twice. Even if he is eaten alive by ants tomorrow, he’s already lived for 78 years, enjoying fame and attention, playboy interviews, committing crime with impunity, and seizing the nation itself to serve his pretty needs for vengeance. Hell, he has literally dodged a bullet. True justice is out of reach I’m afraid. It’s more like his measure of success is corrupted. Success to him is not synonymous with productivity. He is at his core, a rapist, getting what he wants is only technically the point. More important is taking it. Getting away with it. Stealing it. Breaking something. Exerting his will. That’s what he’s about. His business is spiritual, not material. It’s coercion, and force. And in this field, he is quite “successful” indeed.

Keeping a business running takes sustained effort. This sack of shit is more in the strip out all the copper and turn a quick buck leaving wreckage in your wake type of business man.

More and more I feel like he’s just trying to get us embroiled in something that provides cover for him to ratchet into the next slot of dictator. If he can get a real crisis on his hands he’s plausibly cleared for all sorts of seemingly desperate measures. Such as third terms, and criminalization of “sentiments” (“doesn’t like me” turns into “supports the enemy”, opposition turns into enemy, temporary emergency actions turn into permanent dictatorship).

I don’t care who burns 'em. So long as they’re burnt.

The honest problem is that the hyper-wealthy just don’t go outside or do anything meaningful. They are in climate controlled buildings and vehicles 24/7. They don’t cook. They don’t feel price fluctuations in goods. Their home(s) are numerous and in the best areas, but even that is moot, as they are rarely at home. They travel and work constantly, and are never subjected to anything but the finest accomodations. Their world is very controlled, and orderly, and pleasant. They literally live in a different reality. They don’t get it. And yet, they control the environment us regular people live in/are subjected to. Our struggles are trivia to them. Mere inconveniences. We’re just obstacles in their way. Our displeasure is just a “notification” to clear. Whatever they can do to shut us up, or get us off their case, they do that. Right and wrong be damned. The future be damned. By the time it effects them directly and they are forced to deal with consequences, our corpses will be components of massive burning heaps.
