Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They’re already pre-migrated.

It’s a GOD, stupid. It can do whatever it wants.

How thoughtful of them to ensure that the deceased would have something to put up their butt in the underworld.

And there is some green coloration on it, indicating the dildo was once painted to look like a cucumber. Derek Smalls gets it.

If I start to salivate in sympathetic parallel to the imagined hungry dogs, does that count?

Nonsense. If you work outside of the system that exists, you won’t ever make meaningful change on that system. You’ll only ever make it harder for the people who have accepted reality and are working from within the system to change it.
