Yeah, I saw one yesterday for the first time during football because I typically avoid all the classic sources of commercials, and it was just two dude bros who looked like they were making a podcast sitting around saying “Yo, I don’t want all my tax money being used to give prisoners sex change operations”. And I thought, “who on earth would this possible convince to vote for Trump who wasn’t already absolutely going to?”
So if and when we make that happen, and we have a society free of that stuff, do we think everything will always be perfect and free of conflict and no one will break the (hopefully much improved) laws? That seems unlikely, so we’ll need some kind of way of keeping the order, right? Will it not be the responsibility of a specific job? Will there be people with that job but we won’t call them any of the names we currently have for that general job category?
I personally really enjoy how David and the skeletons either can’t out won’t elaborate on the parts of their whole thing that the people are confused about. There’s just something funny to me about how it doesn’t seem like they’re intentionally being obtuse. They’ll gladly answer the vague question of “and the skeletons are…?” with the equally vague “part of it!” with a big smile, as though it was a perfectly fine and helpful answer.
Hey Wayne, did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?
To give the original question answer slightly more (probably unfounded) credit, there are a lot of people out there who know the basics of what inflation is, but also seem to have a fundamental assumption that in a “normal” economy, wages will also increase at the same pace as inflation, resulting in a net zero effect on a person’s buying power overall. Even though, yes, things are always getting a little more expensive in absolute terms, they don’t seem more expensive. So the answer to the question someone with those assumptions might have actually been trying to ask is that even if inflation returns to a “normal” rate, wages have remained stagnant for a long time and aren’t keeping pace with inflation like they used to, so now things actually are more expensive in a relative sense.
All the Simpsons fans out there know how great Zinc is.
Thank you, if you hadn’t posted it, I would have. I was literally just watching this again for the umpteenth time yesterday. One of my favorite videos of all time.
I just spotted my first in person yesterday and I agree completely. My kid said “It’s shiny” and I said “Yeah, because the alternative to that is to be covered in rust”.
Lucky we caught on before humans ate them to extinction. Scientists haven’t always been so lucky.
My interpretation was that OP was trying to come up with an even bigger way of wasting money the cops could use to “fix” the problem.
I’m finishing up putting my kid to bed so I’m looking at my old copy of that sweet stinky boy right now.
Thankfully my dog only really interacts with other dogs at places that require vaccinations.
Whenever I want to say something is cool, I have to complete the whole phase of “cool, alright. C-c-cool, alright, kick it.” But if I’m being sarcastic about the thing being cool, I will say the first part but then continue on to say “ki-ki-kicks my mom”.
