Not only that, but these bad things HAVE TO HAPPEN before the good things can come to pass. That’s the order of operations. Which leads to seeing the bad things and thinking, “YES!!! It’s haaaappeniiiiing!!!”

You literally welcome disaster, because it proves you right, rather than working to prevent it.

It’s more that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

“The world will hate you,” so you’re antisocial and hateful in preparation. They do hate me! It’s all true!

“There will be wars and rumors of wars,” so you vote for the defense hawks supporting the military complex. So many wars! It’s all true!

“They won’t even tolerate your views, they’ll try to outlaw it!” So you try to ban them first. It’s all true!

Why protect the temporary environment when you have eternal paradise waiting? Why do ANYTHING meaningful here when you have eternal paradise waiting.

tl;dr: Death cult. Projection.

This reminds me of a story told to me by the Ukrainian Master Accordionist Leonid Nosov twenty five years ago when he was my landlord.

What a badass fucking story intro.

Unfortunately the it already left when I signed up here a couple of years back.

This guy fishes in his pockets with his hands.

As long as you don’t need a functional penis.

There are 100% women who would be into that. I’m not saying they’re common, but I may have met at least one of them.

I don’t taste anything. Does it matter how hard I shake it?

With whatever is in your pockets.

Counterpoint: putting two flat Lego pieces together.

Is that what the whole “egg” thing was about!? Raising egg prices!?

You should see her in The Bear. Holy God. She shook me.

You wish.

To be fair, you’re still presuming the “old system/rules” holds true for you. Did you see the “campus protest” EO, for example? Not a huge leap to arresting anything they deem illegal.

99% chance there’s already an obscure metal band/album with that name and fans would rage at me for calling it merely metal.

Good point. Do you think “The Rich Are Too Disgusting to Eat” would be allowed? It’s clearly anti-cannibalism.

And also they are the dinner. The rich people you invited. In that you literally intend to eat them. Thus the original play on words. “For one.”

DIGEST THE UPTRODDEN! I think we have our replacement.

Wild migratory bird eggs are also good. Oysters of the trees.
