Thank you for posting this. I was gonna try and paraphrase it because what is being said is so spot on to this sentiment.

If I had a felony conviction I'd be applying everywhere answering the phone like, "oh right, you can be president but not manager of a dave and busters."

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, but you need 33 more convictions to qualify for that position.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

No problem, coming right up, first one is intimidation for threatening to stick my foot up your bum.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Sorry, I refused to file charges because I ain't no snitch. It would have been reduced to a misdemeanor anyways. You're going to need to try harder.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Unfortunately for you, that's called "menace" and its merely a misdemeanor.
You'll need to do more than this to get a proper conviction-- aggravating the charge by involving a weapon or minors might be a good option for your goals. You need to be much more creative with your criminality if you ever want to enter the gentry class. Consider white collar crime, or creating jobs by hiring some minions. Now that trump is in office, it will be a particularly attractive time to venture into federal crimes, or crimes that cross state or national boundaries.

You can be incompetent and get any job, but you have to be willing to be an asshole and remove your backbone.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 10 months ago

Of course there is a catch

“Brought to you by Carl’s Jr.”

Come on, thats an unfair conparison.

President Camacho actually wanted to fix things.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And listened to people smarter than him.

Yea, I mean, he apparently even traveled back in time to try to save cheese for future generations. But I'm afraid that was a futile attempt, because the US citizens have nevertheless set the course that will lead us to the timeline where there is no more cheese.

"Fuck you! I'm eating"

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Qualified? Yes. Actually become? No

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We are a profoundly stupid country. Even the intelligent, educated people are stupid, because they didn't think this could happen, and they have no idea how to fix it.

[–] Bread@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

I like to think my belief that humanity has some decency meant there was no way it could possibly happen. Yet life is often stranger and dumber than fiction.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 18 points 10 months ago

trump proved to me Anyone can be anything*

*with Rich parents or leech to guy with rich parents.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

True american dream, no?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 10 months ago

If I drink enough bleach and lead, one day I could convince 60% of the country to put me in charge.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure most of us here would be overqualified, based on the apparent criteria.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OK assuming it wasn't with this group of assholes, if you could add yourself as secretary of something, what would it be?

I'd be secretary of proper fantasy and fictious IP respect.

Proper fucking labeling when a story moves from one media to another.

TV shows like Wheel of Time can only say they are loosely based on the WoT books. I'm not saying every adaptation has to stay as true to its origin as the Sin City movie, but come one with some of these

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

IIRC, in the Jason Bourne books, the super-secret government cabal that trained him are the good guys.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Hrrrmmm. OK I'm not familiar with the OG Jason Bourne material. But your complaint is registered and you may be called upon to testify. It can take 5 years to 9 lifetimes before I read the things.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I won Time's Person of the Year in 2006. I have no worries about imposter syndrome. I've already been validated.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does that mean I'm allowed to vent and ignore visual tasks?

[–] badcodecat@lemux.minnix.dev 4 points 10 months ago

among us?!?
