That second one is brilliant.

America's obesity epidemic is a function of our car culture. This is the only country on God's green Earth that feels putting in sidewalks is a moral failure.

It really is that simple. I wish I had received this kind of support.

Also, I can protest and play XBOX with Wendy's.

Then keep it going. Have California, New York, New Jersey, and Michigan all pass state laws that require EnergyStar compliance.

There is no international market anymore; if an American manufacturer wants to sell their products, they'll match the requirements and regulations of the biggest markets for them. Nobody will be able to afford undercutting anymore, which means nobody will be able to afford to lose any market share.

"Vagrancy"? Good lord it really is the 1920s again.

All of Trump's beliefs are malleable and for sale. Hell, he used to call Elon Musk a bootlicker. All it took to gain his unending respect was a sack with a dollar sign on it.

"No, today I will NOT spend three hours spamming my friends about The Simpsons," he said, finishing up a three hour rant about The Simpsons.

Man, that's so cool. Thanks for sharing. You've given me the idea to just charge my eBike using my solar generator (DJI Power 1000 w/ two 200W panel sets).

Children can be criminals. Have you ever read Oliver Twist? /s

I am a natural citizen of Usonia and I fucking gasp every time I hear through the grapevine that someone from a(n) (formerly) allied nation took the risk to travel here. I understand that most don't have much choice, but my home is unrecognizable to me now.

Don't come here, and I am saying this as someone who benefits from Canadian tourism. I have a deep, long-time love and appreciation for the Canadian people and their First Nations — it breaks my heart to even say so, but please, for your own safety, do not come here!

I am struggling to get my fellow Americans to understand that in WW2, we built concentration camps for Japanese people and were detaining them in these numbers. Everyone just wistfully calls them "internment camps."

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with this culture but we are just perennially unable to recognize things for what they are. It's like we have this built-in need to be lied to. If the government doesn't do it, we brew up our own homemade lies.
