Your not the first, and you most certainly wont be the last. As a lot of us have seen this for years. And then we got mocked for saying it.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

That implies there was a time where people weren't stupid. I am not that optimistic. It is simply a different brand of stupid. Being on a more cramped planet seem to make the stupid ones stand out more. Well humanity isn't dying out for better or worse.

Well, there were times when people were less stupid.

How does DoctaSax pay for his coffee anyhow?

A few ways come to mind.

I don’t mean to sound cold or unsympathetic, but how is that my problem?

Maybe if they did something over a month ago, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Funny how you can break community guidelines by mocking people’s nationality and not get banned.

All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

How does one even become a moderator on this site, anyway? If the process were more transparent, maybe there would be a few more takers even without any financial incentive.

Probably have to ask another moderator or something.

I just had this realization that my perception of what a MILF is has changed from what it used to be. I used to view a MILF as “a sexy older woman,” but now that I’m in the age group as the average MILF, I view them as “an attractive woman with a kid.”

 

Slight difference, but it feels significant.

It was early last December,
As near as I remember,
I was walking down the street in tipsy pride;
No one was I disturbing
As I lay down by the curbing,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.

As I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I shall not utter,
A lady passing by was heard to say:
" You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses " ;
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

In a weapons producing nation under Jesus
In the fabled crucible of the free world
Camera crews search for clues amid the detritus
And entertainment shapes the land
The way the hammer shapes the hand

Gleaming faces in the checkout counter at the Church of Fame
The lucky winners cheer Casino Nation
All those not on TV only have themselves to blame
And don't quite seem to understand
The way the hammer shapes the hand

Out beyond the ethernet the spectrum spreads
DC to daylight, the cowboy mogul rides
Never worry where the gold for all this glory's gonna come from
Get along dogies, it's coming out of your hides

The intentional cultivation of a criminal class
The future lit by brightly burning bridges
Justice fully clothed to hide the heart of glass
That shatters in a thousand Ruby Ridges
And everywhere the good prepare for perpetual war
And let their weapons shape the plan
The way the hammer shapes the hand

I do like poetry.

Especially Iliad and Odyssey.

 

On First Looking into Chapman's Homer

By John Keats

 

Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,

And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;

Round many western islands have I been

Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.

Oft of one wide expanse had I been told

That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;

Yet did I never breathe its pure serene

Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:

Then felt I like some watcher of the skies

When a new planet swims into his ken;

Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes

He star'd at the Pacific—and all his men

Look'd at each other with a wild surmise—

Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
