I dunno. At some level, when all hope is gone, I find myself hoping the state where I live hasn’t gone full fascist.

Yeah, I was going to say I look forward to reading a few articles about him in prison and maybe some pictures of him in an orange jumpsuit and his hair flopping over before everyone loses interest and he just fades away.

Followed by a one paragraph obituary mentioning his death from advanced syphilis while still in prison.

If his kids had any sense, they’d charge a buck a person for people to piss on his grave. They might be able to get the family fortune back to where it would be if their idiot father had just invested his inheritance in an index fund.

We all knew it, but confirming it seemed like the right thing to do.

He’s joking if someone calls him on it, but serious if they don’t.

Most people tend to buy the imperfect cheap product rather than the better, more expensive product.

If we refused to buy crap, they wouldn’t make it. If we refused to buy it, they couldn’t make it.

They sell us crap because collectively we prefer it.

Yes. Otherwise we have to call them sparkling fascist.

More likely tribalism.

Can we agree that until it doesn’t happen to anyone, it should happen to this guy?

That seems like libel to me.

It’s not really lost. If it sank in dock, it’s right there only lower.

No more than Rapidcreek pretending “The West” doesn’t include France.

Their success is not because people don’t see through their bullshit. It’s because the people opposing them have to follow the rules.

They also believe that everyone else is too stupid to put it together. They think they’re such geniuses that they will be able to cover their tracks and convince everyone that it’s the brown people’s fault.

Thanks! I’m glad you agree!

We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn’t want our slaves to get any ideas.

As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.

Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.

Yeah, kind of seems appropriate.

I’m ready to weep from this.

Every time any problem comes up, my current manager insists we must use Excel to solve it.

Except, the article has it in quotes:

“1oz .999% silver medallions”

Which suggests to me they are quoting the announcement.

Given the nature of the person selling them, it would be safer to assume they want you to believe the percent sign is misplaced so that you buy it, but then when you realize it’s less than 1% silver you can’t get your money back.

Cremation doesn’t burn everything to ash. Pieces of bone are left intact and must be mechanically pulverized to make the remains a powder.

When my dad’s dog was cremated many years ago, the remains they gave us were partially ash, but the larger pieces hadn’t been pulverized. It still had many intact pieces of bone. We could see evidence of some injuries and degenerative disease the dog had experienced in his hip and spine.

I’m not sure how many people would be down for rooting through their pet’s remains for proof that it is the right animal.
