Half of it would be just letting the old ones pass away, as rude as I know that sounds.

(just like the hippies became the yuppies. from woodstock to reaganomics)

it’s useless to pin one’s hopes in the future i think

in other words, hope is a liar

millenials will turn into their own special kind of shit, the next batch of kids will unleash the nanobot wars, etc etc

yes yes i know one needs motivation to keep operating, but... i need to find mine somewhere else. not “mañana”. because mañana never comes....

great, im stuck in a tough spot now....

ufffff...

Skuj 12.16.2018 09:43 PM

It's fucking depressing, no doubt. We gotta hope for something.

When I see a Trump rally and there are some very young people in the background, wearing the hat and applauding and shouting, I just want to cry.

tw2113 12.16.2018 09:53 PM

As always, I continue to hope for the end of the world. Just take everyone out all at once, let no one carry on.

but no, see, since hope is a lie it cannot be relied upon to fight depression. there has to be something else that is not mañana. that’s what im looking for.

how do you persevere in hopelessness? do you know what i mean? hope is for the naive. so, if you have no hope, how do you keep going? cheerfully even?

theres all this talk about the present the present the present but ends up being a bunch of mystical stuff about the infinite.

how do i, finite being, endure without the future illusion?

i need to reread camus....

Skuj 12.17.2018 01:45 AM

Hmm...

Fuck, now I'm depressed.

Actually, how are you, Dude? (This is a Wellness Check.)

The Trump Era will be over one day. I'm convinced that a sizeable percentage of The Blind will eventually begin To See. (Maybe not tesla or Bytor though. There is no hope for them.) History is not going to be kind to this era. I truly believe that We will learn from this. "We" being the MAGA people and the Others alike. Trump happened for a whole slew of reasons. America will learn.

haha im ok man. just slept like a dog. dreamed tons.

my issue is not one of cynicism. it’s a moral/philosophical problem.

im not a cynic. well, maybe i am relative to those who have not lived much. but i just want to find my meaning, value, and even comfort, in the present. the present which is the only place i inhabit.

right now, this is what we have. and this is where we have to live. yes?

escaping into an imaginary future will not save us.

so, this needs to be fixed now. the meaning has to be now. the “salvation” needs to be now. the struggle is happening right now, and so, etc.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

 




"If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race," returned the Ghost, "will find him here. What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief.

"Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be that, in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child.

Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust!"

Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous! Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult for people to join @realDonaldTrump. They have removed many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have acknowledged-done NOTHING!

President Trump is successfuly doing what

Bill (1995) and Hillary (2006) campaigned on = DEPORT them!!!
 


Obama = Congress needs to act and that moment is NOW......and Donald is only asking for $5 Billion, not the $6 Billion Obama was asking for!

Bytor Peltor 12.18.2018 11:18 AM

Ummm......NO!

Her choices are:

A) sign and abide by the stipulations of the contract
B) don’t sign the contract

You know who else signs contracts......the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Their contracts state they must maintain a specific weight / body fat ratio. If they don’t they get kicked off the squad. Why......because the contract they freely signed says so......and Jerry doesn’t abide heffers!!!

ummmmm NO!

another viable option is

C) Sue

that is not a legal contract, that is a vassal oath of allegiance to a foreign power and a violation of the first amendment

already established in 1982 that boycotts are protected by the first amendment

“simple as that!”
or
“i tell you what!”

or some other such categorical expression that makes one sound simpleminded

anyway, read here this already happened in kansas: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...oycott/552077/

parties keep rewriting the laws and resuing. this will go on for a while.

stature and circumference are two different things, i tell you what.

simple as that!

Skuj 12.18.2018 03:05 PM

Regarding Flynn:

“We’re arguing that he was certainly ambushed and that the FBI, that we know, had clear political bias. We’ve seen that time and time again,” Sanders said earlier on Fox News.

Nevermind that Flynn has admitted that he knew it was wrong.

This Bitch Sanders is going to go to hell. It's mind boggling how this "Administration" (I have to use quotes) attacks it's own Justice Department and Agencies. There is a huge price to pay for all of this. Good luck, America.

Bytor Peltor 12.18.2018 03:12 PM

My stature and circumference are outside the normal range, I’ve always been that way: 6’4 and 280-300lbs since high school. My 16yo daughter is almost 6’. My dad and brother are each taller than me.

Bytor Peltor 12.18.2018 03:45 PM

No, I wasn’t calling them heffers. I was pointing out that heffers can’t be Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders......it says so in the contract each one signs. Reality is, those girls could gain 10lbs each and we probably couldn’t tell, but the scale they must regularly weigh in on knows.

I’m not saying it’s right......and I’m glad my daughters never showed much interest in cheerleading, even if just at the high school level, but contracts can be very specific regarding individuals who choose to enter in to one.

Back when the NBA first had a team in the Olympics, Reebok won the right for the warmups the players wore. Michael Jordan’s Nike contract prevented him from being seen wearing the Reebok logo. When Team USA won the gold medal, Jordan covered the Reebok logo with an American Flag.

In fiscal year 2017, more than 2,700 child predators were arrested by HSI special agents under this initiative and more than 900 victims identified or rescued.
