This is odd, geoengineering would be a really bad idea in my opinion but this is obviously a ploy to control gullible rube who believe the gov is all powerful

Couldn’t help but think while listening to Robert describe Yarvins philosophy that it sounds like they are trying to steer us into a cyberpunk nightmare reality without the absurdly advanced tech

Wow this is astonishingly wrong. You maybe meant John Ford who was a huge influence on Kurosawa, but he wasn’t even born until 1894 and motion pictures were not really a thing yet at that time, Trip to the Moon is 1905

I sort of was in 2016, I eventually voted for Hilary but considered Stein for a while after the DNC

My fear is there will be some form of civil war either way, but it will be much much worse if he wins

I’m an American and it’s true, the Texas state fair is a testament to the horrific nature of mankind

I voted for Bernie and he would have been great, I always find myself thinking about Gore winning more often. I have more respect for Bernie for sure but we’d have been in such a better place by 2016. Jesus, there’s a non-zero chance that the 9/11 warnings don’t get ignored and the US definitely doesn’t invade Iraq or Afghanistan. The housing bubble would probably still have burst in a bad way but I doubt it goes down the same way. Supreme Court wouldn’t be as full of neocons and zealots.

In one of Dave’s early Netflix specials he talks about Bill Cosby and how complicated his crimes were for a black standup who was both inspired and influenced by Cosby as regardless of how shitty he is as a person is a giant of that medium. I sort of feel that way about Dave now, his show and early standup sets were so fundamental to how my sense of humor formed that I can’t completely divorce myself from them, but who he’s become is shameful and i can’t ride with him anymore.

Like fuck him for being so shitty and bigoted in general, but an extra fuck him for letting down the people he inspired and influenced. He’s become the very thing he should have destroyed

“ We are the only species on Earth that observe "Shark Week". Sharks don't even observe "Shark Week", but we do. For the same reason I can pick this pencil, tell you its name is Steve and go like this (breaks pencil) and part of you dies just a little bit on the inside, because people can connect with anything. We can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a shark, and we can give Ben Affleck an academy award for Screenwriting.”
