too bad he didn't miss him miss him miss him.

I guess this can go here but it's more of a powerful liberal memes kind of thing

Like I don't know who this guy is, but he can't really be that stupid can he?

not sure I get you, don't really understand what's wrong with that statement

Closing the border to legal goods is much easier than closing it to humans coming over which is obvious to any child.

firm but fair

Also if anything he's kind of making Trump's point for him

not sure I get you, don't really understand what's wrong with that statement

Because closing the border to LEGAL traffic and trying to stop illegal immigration are obviously two different things? The wall (as bad an idea as it is) is not designed to "close the border," it's designed to prevent people from making unauthorized crossings. Close the border means close the legal crossings.

I feel like this is a common tactic -- deliberately misconstruing what the other side is saying rather than arguing against it. It's great for the echo chamber but does nothing to convince anyone.

Good thing I don't drive to work on the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway.

jesus no youd be nuts going via hong kong that time of the morning

Like, some animals spend all fucking day grazing just so they can have the energy to keep grazing, it's really not some grand irony that we have to work to have a place to live that we aren't in while we are working.

we post to a message board all day to avoid work that doesnt need to get done for people that cant tell and dont care whether it gets done so we can afford to pay the data charges to complain about our co-workers on a message board

just think we could be not doing anything all day and sleeping on a pile of dirt

I am actually weighing this option

It has a degree of appeal atm

No worries, we're going to make excellent use of that underground retirement home we're all working towards.

so weird that we spend money on food when we know we're just gonna get hungry again a few hours later

We put clothes on, only in order to take them off again a few hours later. Nudism is much more economical. (Mind. Blown.)

Going back to that traffic jam photo, most of those drivers are coming back from vacation. Should've just stayed at home if they knew they were going to go back to work anyway.

^ In a way, I'm not being sarcastic!

If they lived in their cars, they would have been home by now

there's nothing remotely as disturbing as the thing in stranger things but ymmv as i am a 35 year old man who is still mortified by some of the scenes in the thing and find it legitimately hard to watch

^ kinda clever tbh

Millet's (idealised + virtuously grafting themselves to death in their sunday best) peasants were bad to start with imo. But juxtaposing new stuff over old iconic paintings has been done to death and isn't really that clever is it?

done to death

When it comes to social media I live a sheltered life, I guess.

Didn't mean it in a snarky or judgmental manner ftr

is mad magazine social media

CB radio is as well, good buddy

also duchamp

postcards?

I haven't listened to anything of his since Private Press, which was a bit of a let-down at the time, but the new track Rosie is pretty good, imo.
