The meme is not on their side, unfortunately.

They say "volunteer, donate" and "shelters" are the answer. That's nothing but a band-aid. Yes, it can help with the immediate problem, but it's never an actual answer. The answer is government programs to put homeless people in honest-to-god housing, not shelters.

Yes, walkers, it’s your job to not get in the way of speeding cars.

/s. /smh.

I mean, it sort of is. It sucks, but having the legal right of way doesn't guarantee that you will walk away uninjured. Pedestrians absolutely need to stay alert and protect themselves from horrible drivers and the death machines that they are barely in control of.

The title of this post is

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

My only response is that, given the pic, I hope OP is like 13 years old.

It looks like the bed is about to fuck itself.

Perhaps if you challenged Bybon son of Phola to prove his claim, he could claim that "this" refers to the chisel he used to carve the message.

You already have all the solutions.

You literally invented the guillotine, like hundreds of years ago.

I agree with Penn, but I can't help but think that if I was given a Death Note, I would feel morally obligated to write quite a few names in it. Names of people who are personally responsible for a great amount of suffering in the world.

It's not that I want to kill people. It's that if I had a guaranteed way of stopping these people with no personal risk, I would feel obligated to do so, even if it meant killing them.

I wouldn't be surprised if using "fuck" as your first word automatically unsubscribed you. It might have nothing to do with a person reading the response.

Probably one of the most common responses to these messages is "fuck off".

People don't seem to realize that rich people actually need non-rich people living near them, and they're not all live-in servants.

The people who want to "Make America Great Again" want to oppress minorities. If they could turn black people into slaves, they'd do it.

If you were given Superman's powers, would you do the same thing as he does in the comics?

I try to imagine myself doing that, and I can't imagine it would be anything but depressing. Oh, now that bad person over there wants to kill that other bad person. Probably if you went and completely stopped the fighting in the Middle East, people would just call you antisemitic. And then the moment you left, they'd all start killing each other again.

I suspect that, rather than trying to save or rule people, I'd just become an apathetic egomaniac. There's no point to ruling humans. Just like humans aren't obsessed with ruling ants. I'd probably just see them as the best available source of entertainment, and I'd only intervene if something interferes with the entertainment industry.

Reddit's basic business model was "We provide the platform, so you do all the hard work for free."

The fediverse would be the same if it were a business.

This Unabomber guy was ahead of the curve in the tiny house trend. /s

I feel like I should, but I don't hate this. I feel like I could hang this in my house and make other people wonder why they don't hate this.

I thought it was "Al G." You know, Al Gore.

Answer: It depends on the amount and qualities of the uranium, as well as how it is stored.

How can they be obvious arsonists if they've never had fire before?

As far as I can tell, American politics can only be fixed by the supreme court. You need to flood it with justices who are willing to rule that campaign donations from corporations are not free speech. And then, to rule that the very concept of democracy is incompatible with campaign contributions from corporations and other organizations like PACs. And by that logic, contributions coming from anywhere except registered voter constituents is fundamentally unconstitutional.

Congress under the existing rules will never pass a campaign contribution law because the owners of our congresspeople don't want those laws passed. We will never elect enough people to congress who are not financially backed by large organizations. We're stuck as a country. And I think only SCOTUS has any possibility of fixing it.

But if SCOTUS did fix it, I think few in Congress would have a problem with it. They personally seek power, so this would actually give them more power. The problem is that if they seriously support campaign finance reform today, most of those would lose their next election and lose all of their power.

It's the smell.

I think this is more of a political meme than mildly interesting, but I will point out that virtually every politician who can become the leader of a developed country has pictures similar to this.

Pictures like this are always used as gotchas by their opponents. Oh look, they shook hands with a really bad person! Oh look, they are standing next to a silly looking person! Yes, part of their job is to shake hands with people, even bad people. And part of their job is to take pictures with people, even if they look silly.
