Airplanes tend to stay in air only, unless there’s a WTC in the way.

I’ve got 12.6 tons of election denial, 3.78 grams of highly concentrated transphobia and 54 barrels of … what will you give me for it?

I’m saying that unchecked bad actors are going to act bad. The American people don’t seem to know this, but the US hasn’t been isolationist for more than a century. Also, 2001.

Lalala… Can’t hear you, Putin, Xi, Jong-un, Chamenei… lalala

Which substance are we talkin?

I’d be afraid that public opinion making isn’t the only topic or problem they ignore or repress.

Some people call this ‘elaborate repression mechanism’ or ‘retirement into private life’.

I don’t like suppressing emotions because suppressed emotions happen to come back at unexpected times in weird places.

Hitler was nothing without the NSDAP and the fascist movement.

There were 915,000 Germans in the Waffen-SS.

Have you priced in cost of keeping your old one?

Why?

My speculation is that teenagers react so vile to adults trying to fit in partially as a unwittingly defensive mechanism.

I don’t really know how to test or research this speculation though.
