If you dial the resolution back beyond the bed, you have the whole human experience.

Finding meaning within a finite existence framed against the infinite is not easy but, if you pick up your fucking room a little, maybe it can be done with a bit more class and comfort?

A commercial incentive?

If you want to commercialize solving the ills of society, you end up with death camps as being simply the end result of efficiency.

If you want to solve the problems of various demographics rather then viewing them as gender-specific instances in order to benefit the whole of society you get, among other benefits, a lot less genocide.

I had a broken clock once.

I lost it when everything burned to the ground during a preventable wildfire that was mismanaged and allowed to grow unchecked until it consumed everything...

If you work backwards from extinction, through the collapse of the biosphere, to the fall of our civilization...

... I mean really, what kind of government would you expect to be in power to preside over that?

Yeah!

Now knock off all that fascism - or we WILL go back out there and do another lap!

Wow. Like a zen koan.

If a tree applies bronzer in the forest, and no one is around, does it still embezzle?

How, the fuck, is this "bizarre?"

He's a sundowning, semi-literate, demented, narcissistic, dysphagic, self-obsessed asshat who has NEVER been able to focus on anything that isn't a Fox News segment about himself.

Had he somehow read a passable 500-word speech from a teleprompter, that would have been "bizarre"

The only way this could have been more standardized would have been a rambling mention of Hannibal Lector, blaming Hillary for something, and then dancing to YMCA.

That American Democracy has failed is debatable.

That it can be revived is not.

I would not advocate surrender to authoritarianism - but I would urge we all take an unflinchingly look at the systemic failures within our existing governmental system that allowed it to take root and (ultimately) to come to power. We are better equipped to resist after assessing our current situation and understanding how it was that we came to be here.

Imminent?

Hmm.. I think it has already happened and we are just in there awkward lull as we await the consequences to start rolling in...

Screwed over by the world's richest man?

Yeah, well so was the rest of the nation...
