  • Alright. Y’all ever hear about the shaggs?

    A dad was told by a fortune teller that his yet-unborn kids were destined for musical stardom. After that, the dad had no choice but to force his eventual kids into a band.

    These kids had no musical training. No sense of rhythm, no sense of pitch.

    Their released music is the auditory equivalent of a child’s crayon drawing hung on the fridge. It’s astoundingly disjointed. It’s all wrong. Frank Zappa said they’re better than the Beatles. SOMEONE out there likes screamo. Some folks out there like bagpipes. Then what happens? Your neighbor loves blasting screamo. You’ve played yourself. Unless Frank Zappa is moving in, you’d be hard pressed to find a potential buyer that like the shaggs.

    Enjoy.

    My company costs the government billions each year for weapons that haven’t been used in nearly 80 years. Talk about inefficiency!

    Nukes and nuclear nonproliferation.

    Shout-out to republican department of energy head Rick Perry who wanted to get rid of the DOE thinking it was just solar panels and windmills. TEXAS MAN THINK GOVERNMENT ENERGY BAD.



  • No it’s not easier than everyone making the right decision for anything else, but it is the right decision.

    I’m going to propose something.

    The most idealistic, “right” decision, done in the wrong context, is the wrong decision.

    For example, let’s say all of Ukraine rejects war. They no longer resist Russia.

    Did we save the world? No. That is appeasement, and that didn’t work out to well with Hitler.

    Again. Prove the worth and viability of your ideas by encouraging the ones throwing the punches to reign it in first, before applying such lofty and naive ideals to those trying to defend themselves.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
