seconded! i love how it's also how the doomsday clock works because it's been within 20 minutes to midnight literally since it's inception in 1947

I used to look at history and laugh at the idea of child kings, but at least they probably knew what day it was

If it leads to the downfall of america, that's good.

If they take us all to hell with them, that's bad.

While I appreciate the good intentions of the fine folks at r/antifastonetoss, they owe the entire internet an apology for the psychic damage they did to 2020s humor.

I went into a ward to visit someone and asked the nurse why they'd put white paper over the windows of the dementia ward. The nurses said its because otherwise it freaks the patients out (or some of them). I worry that Biden, with access to the nukes and other security issues is at risk of this sort of fear-response over mundane things.

He and Trump are both not suitable to be President

The nuclear button isn't a literal button. There's a bunch of layers between the President and the actual execution of a nuclear strike.

I would consider a more pressing issue that you've got people climbing the ranks that really don't think using a weapon would be so bad. And a gradient that encourages a certain kind of officer, who would sit in the room with a senile President and encourage him to take the most drastic approach.

But that's less a senile old man issue. Worked just as well on young guys like Obama and Clinton as it did old-heads like Trump and Biden.

He and Trump are both not suitable to be President

Given the state of the executive branch and the methods by which Presidents only seem capable of pointing at places on a map and ordering them demolished, I'm not really clear who IS suitable. The best you can hope for is a peacenik President. And that only saves you for four to eight years, before the next guy comes in promising to make up for lost bombings.

it always has to be a "national security threat" for them to take it seriously

Kill for gain or shoot to maim But we don't need a reason The golden goose is on the loose And never out of season Blackened pride still burns inside This shell of bloody treason Here's my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom

2 minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb

The blind men shout, "Let the creatures out! We'll show the unbelievers" Napalm screams of human flames For a prime-time Belsen feast, yeah As the reasons for the carnage cut Their meat and lick the gravy We oil the jaws of the war machine And feed it with our babies

The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom 2 minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb

The body bags and little rags Of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain To put the finger right on you As the mad men play on words And make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions To make a better kind of gun

The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom 2 minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb

Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night

Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night

Midnight, all night

Can they dementia themselves into forgetting how much wealth they own? that'd be great

In the first pokemon opening, it's established that they want to be the best like no one ever was. Therefore, they digress with "you teach me and I'll teach you."

I can only conclude that the US Senate watched Digimon instead. Why didn't they train anyone? Why didn't they pass anything onto the next generation? I thought the coolest thing about coaching BJJ was how much it shored up my fundamentals, but then I got to see how cool it was to see people develop. I guess there's Pete Buttchug, but is he even hanging out with these zomboids?
