Also the idea of yet another way or reason to exclude young people from society, yet another way to make them other or less than is the opposite of what modern society needs, and should be treated as fundamentally offensive.

Today on "Pillow or Bear Trap"...

I'm a forgettable nobody, so, Michael Cera.

More money going to the steadily employed and no missed payments crew, i.e. those who need relief the least.

It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.

Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.

I told my wife, the day I see an actual fucking doctor when my appointment time is, I'll either die of shock or but a lottery ticket.

In my experience you're lucky if some not-an-MD is checking your weight and blood pressure within half an hour, but if you're five minutes late they're sending you a bill for them doing literally nothing and canceling you entirely. I've never seen anybody so high on their own fucking importance while at the same time showing not the slightest smidgen of respect for the time of anyone else unfortunate enough to have to interact with them.

I wish I had a job where I could fuck up the timing of every single task every single day that consistently and still be employed. Not that I would, because I recognize that other people's time matters.

Except then they send you a bill for services not rendered and act like that's legitimate.

Literally the opposite of the Constitution.

Sounds like how the people of Palestine feel all the time.

I used to do Renaissance Faires.

"Wild Mountain Thyme" was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

So why do so many keep dying?

Because these deaths are caused by murderous assholes with over-inflated egos and immunity to consequences. ACAB.

Best Jeanist approves this message.

I stand corrected.

The irony of the title is still true, though.

All 13 of Erebus's Black Crusades aren't better. ..

The Horus Heresy. When you see what the Emperor's vision actually was, and really get to compare it to the galaxy they got, it's just... so much worse. And the galaxy is pretty goddamn bad to begin with. But you know there's a special place at the very bottom of hell for Erebus.

Magnus did nothing wrong and Russ has fleas.

Which fuckin' god? The one that (if you believe in) sent the ten plagues? And the flood? And burned two major cities? And that's just in the book where he's supposedly the good guy?
