Jeb is a WASTE

That’s true and worth noting. The difference is much starker when the benchmark is food and fuel, since real estate (and stocks) rose much higher compared to other things.

Between 2020 and 2024 there was about 22% inflation. 1.22x$195,400=$238,388. So there’s still over $110,000 of price inflation to account for past devaluation of the dollar.

Dr. Pepper’s pronouns are we/us, because 🎵 Dr. Pepper you’re a part of me 🎵

This “every third party vote is a vote for $republican_candidate” noise comes around every four years like clockwork. Third party votes are not just protest votes from wayward Democrats.

So why even mention your million rounds as a reply to “I just fired a gun right next to your head, neither of us was wearing ear protection and now we’re having a conversation at normal volume”? Talk about ignorant.

You realize it’s a function of distance and that function is logarithmic, right? A gunshot at one foot is a hundred times louder than it is at 20 feet. If you were exposed to a million gunshots of any caliber from a foot away, you would be profoundly deaf.

I’ve shot a few thousand rounds. 9mm is very loud. Shoot it in a closed space just once without earpro and you will cause permanent damage to your hearing.

I don’t think a million round sample size would help you in judging this.

You have a right to a cat. If you do not have one, one will assign itself to you.

What’s hilarious about this is that obstructed barrels actually can explode into ribbons just like the cartoons. A finger might not do it though, and not sure how many volunteers you’d get for a scientific test.

Who the fuck taught you history?

• The USSR fell in 1991
• Bill Clinton took office in 1993

Did he use a time machine?

I fucking hope it’s AI lol, it looks like a theme party in a retirement community.

There’s nothing more subversive than the Thin Blue Line sticker on their lifted Dodge RAM

I’m going to dress up as third party voting for Halloween

I still consider them fringe, they’re just now much more visible than they were before. I’m not trying to say that it’s not an in issue either.

These crackpots have always had an audience when they see returns.

The antidote is going outside, engaging with things and people you disagree with, and being a skeptic of your own beliefs. I was actually an Alex Jones listener way way back when Bush was president. There was this guy who superficially cared about civil rights and was railing against a government that operated in secret, and a lot of the appeals made sense - until you realized that his prophecies failed one after the next, and he was really just on the air to sell dick pills.

This isn’t so different from how it always was. Before social media existed in its modern form, Alex Jones used to broadcast from a 100kW shortwave station. The chem trail nonsense goes back almost thirty years. I suspect the spiritual origin is traceable back to 60s counterculture. Snake Oil type scams and witch doctors go back to prehistory.

The biggest difference is that people can now engage directly with these things immediately and worldwide, they don’t have to be part of an alternative magazine mailing list.

That’s a relief, for a moment I was concerned that Alex Jones is showing his face in public again
