Casually admitting to zoning out behind the wheel like it's a mere curiosity and not an incredibly dangerous lack of attention

This is just Highway hypnosisand it's a perfectly normal and safe phenomenon. Where your mind just runs a background process but is still alert for sudden changes. I can drive quite literally miles without registering a thing but if something out of the ordinary happens, everything kicks into high gear and background process becomes a full blown front and center program that takes all my focus.

I believe in fuck cars too, but pick your battles.

I think W Bush painted the world black and white when there is nuance. You're either with us against us. Started two very unpopular wars and dragged Nato members in. Caused mass immigration to Europe from leading to the raise of people like Bannon, Trump and Farage. The entire far right really. For me, Bush was the catalyst that led us to where we are right now and is the worse president. But even I think I am wrong cause my memory doesn't go back much further.

And worse of all. Bush didn't even win. Roger Stone literally stormed the recount, Bushes brother shut the count down and the supreme court went cool, cool, cool. Been hating ever since the shocking lack of democracy in America. And the fact that some anti abortion Gun nut in some swing state determines how many of my friends will die in wars, how much petrol will cost and how much food will cost due to sheer greed of the owner class in America.

So for me. Bush 2. Trump just let the world see the corruption in day light where the others kept it in the dark.

My best friend i met when we both at our lowest point. What got us through that time was being so brutal and dark with suicide jokes. For my part, make as many jokes as you can to combat to disarm the seriousness of the situation and make it tolerable to live with a head full of the worse thoughts.

So, respectfully, no. I wont stop making jokes about suicide. For some it works. Humour disarms and ridicules the very idea of suicide.

No child left behind leading to a nation without critical thinking. Guantanamo bay. Imprison who the fuck you want without consequence. Making it law to invade the ICC if any American soldier is ever held to accountability. Crashing the entire global economy by relaxing laws on banks and investors. I mean Bush was pretty awful. Trump is just dumb as bricks walking in the same path set by Bush.
