That guy earning twice as much as you is still far closer to you than to the guy above him. He may make twice the amount as you, but the guy above both of you makes literally 400 times as much (per day sometimes). It's like you said, we're all on the same team.

Middle class IS below the poverty line.

The poverty line is a number made up by the wealthy to keep the "less poors" at odds with the "more poors" So that we don't join forces and guillotine the motherfuckers.

Good. Fuck em. I'll sit back and enjoy while the rest of the world proceeds to set up a trade network that bypasses the U.S. entirely, fostering far more cooperation and goodwill than America's Hegemonic diplomacy ever has. America can get fucked for all I care.

If a seagull lives to it's thirties I imagine it's flying around with nothing but Smashmouth banging around it's brain all day.

I mean, I guess that's true in a peculirar sort of way in which nothing really exists outside of our perception of it.

What I mean by that is that whatever we see, hear, taste, etc... is merely neurons firing in our brain, processing a signal that it receives. So if we're looking at a tree for example; that tree is just light/energy waves vibrating on a specific frequency. It's only when it hits our optic nerve and travels to our brain that it's translating into something that we call a "tree".

So when the eyes are closed, the random interference pattern could indeed be interpreted as you say. Goog catch. Kind of makes you wonder.

Just imagine these two guys were just sitting in a waiting room for something completely different and are now associated with super-gonorrhoea because some asshat snapped their photo for a stock image website...

Simple answer without typing a textbook is simply that the longer a language exists, the more individual "quirks" it picks up.

Words or idioms from a different language, regional differences in pronunciation that become common, changes in preferred spelling, etc...

Language is protean and ever evolving, which means that no (natural) language is ever going to be without it's own unique weirdness.

Oh god. I thought that was an AI joke image...

What you're seeing is the inner workings of the holographic universe we inhabit. Your brain interprets the signal as static.
