Grief is love.

I mean, imagine if your dog died and you felt nothing. The memories will bring her spirit into the future with you.

I did like that one anonymous quote:

It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

And to keep out icky poor people and brown people from suburban neighborhoods. Don’t forget that part. In fact that was a large part of why the car manufacturers were able to have infrastructure built this way.

This is like asking ‘how did the slave owners make money if slaves couldn’t buy anything?’

The wealthy already control 50% of the market. They don’t need us. And they don’t want us. They want us to be slaves.

I mean, I wish, but realistically it wouldn’t help as much as we hope. Look at how the tech-obsessed people claim that tech will magically solve all problems if we just accept its presence in our lives, how fans obsessing over their favorite actor/musician/sports-team fight in the streets, how people following ‘gurus’ are fine with poisoning ‘those others’ or drinking the flavor-aid out of devotion.

There’s just a certain percentage of the population that needs some kind of ‘higher power’ to obsess over, and if they don’t get it from religion they just go find other ways.

Conservatism was created to conserve power. That’s all.

Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. -Winston Churchill

It’s not really that so much as Indians of high caste (which his wife is) basically consider themselves ‘white’. So as far as they’re concerned he’s talking about other people, not them.

Low pay and shitty corporate conduct doesn’t exactly encourage the most compassionate people to apply, sadly

I mean, the same thing happened during the Spanish Flu Pandemic. There were even anti-mask leagues, as I recall. We’ve always been quite stupid as a nation.

Technically the romaji would be aisu kuriimu but yeah

Personally I'm sad they didn't get a majority, because that's probably the best cure, people need to see how damaging their policies are, and how stupid they really are.

Be careful what you wish for. That’s the attitude America had that earned us another run of the Orange pedo.

It was also the attitude of Weimar Germany towards the Nazi party.

What makes you think they’d let him out?
