Okay so while we’re all struggling to find jobs, keep jobs, pay for food, or pay our rent, the government gave away eleventy hundred brazilian dollars of our money (OUR money) to the exact same useless trust-fund assholes who created this situation in the first place and it didn’t even do shit.
There’s a fucking pandemic happening. We have basically no infrastructure to handle such an emergency. We have to keep going to work and exposing ourselves and our loved ones and our communities to possible infection because we’re all one or two missed paychecks away from starving to death. Those of us who can’t work are facing homelessness because we can’t pay rent, i.e. we can’t afford the usurous and ever-rising fees that a guy who contributes nothing to society but happens to own a building charges us to be in a building.
Oh, but the landlord might have to pay his mortgage!!!! Bitch I wish I had a mortgage
The for-profit healthcare industry is so determined to not handle the crisis correctly that they are *seriously considering* shuffling life-saving medical equipment away from elderly and disabled people and letting critical COVID-19 patients just fucking die. There’s no fucking reason to do any of that, except that it’s more cost effective. Because that’s what The Market demands, is blood sacrifices.
And speaking of blood sacrifices for The Market, they’re also talking about lifting the state of emergency and sending everybody back to work in the middle of a fucking pandemic and just accepting all the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who would be killed by that as reasonable losses in order to make the stock market go back up. "Hey man, I’m sorry about your kids and I’m sorry about Meemaw and I’m sorry about your friends with respiratory issues, but they’re just useless eaters anyways and we just gotta get that line to point up.“
The presidential election looks like it’s gonna come down to an epic battle between one conservative rapist and another, different conservative rapist.
Meanwhile the planet is still heating up and we’re still disappearing people into camps in the desert.
Is this the world you want? Are you just going to accept this? Are you really just going to say “yes sir, thank you sir” and take this lying down and wait for shit to just go back to normal? Like a dog?
Or are you going to fight?
Because I got news, man: It’s not going back to normal. Not ever.
You need to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: Am I going to take this? Am I going to stand up and fight? Or am I going to force my grandchildren to suffer the shame of laying a coward’s bones in my grave?

I have bubba'd and otherwise destroyed antique firearms come across my desk a lot. Not much I can do for them usually.
Do you guys also find destruction of historical things absolute blasphemous? Does it also hurt your mind and heart?
Well my dad collects and deals in historical cameras, and he was just talking to his friend/business partner who recently bought a part of camera collection from some guy…And WHAT CAMERA COLLECTION IT WAS!
This previous owner of the COLLECTION was apparently a crazy person. He bought AALLLL sorts of historical cameras of varying rarity….AND THEN HE MODIFIED ALL OF THEM TO HIS OWN IMAGE… HE WROTE ALL THE MODIFICATIONS DONE AND CONTINUED… There are not two similar cameras, he redesigned them all…he even repainted and changed the leather cases…But you might think… oh? but redesigns might look good? NO! Its really bad work! and there were apparently SO MANY OF THEM. My dads friend sounded like hysterically crying and laughing in disbelief while dad just laughed the laugh of people who know that something of historical value was forever destroyed and its just absurdly now….
They have showed me one of the cameras… It was one of the old Rolleiflexes… but its some of its metal pieces were hand filed down, its nice black leather repainted with some kind of glossy paint, some parts were painted with trashy silver, its twin lens cap was made of paper and also covered with silver paint…its rolleiflex logo was also hand filed down, engraved again but badly, painted over with the glossy black and very badly again in white lines….. The case was also repainted with some incredibly cheap glossy paints…… Most of the insides of all the other cameras were also changed and thus rendered useless and worthless… Dude probably really wanted to be a camera designer
Most of those are now good only for parts… the rest good only for useless scrap….
Just damn.

Please tag me in any such conversations as I am deeply interested as well.
Basically, busting into a thread about fairies and going “THAT DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE IF YOU EAT FAIRY FOOD THE FAIRY OWNS YOU” is like busting into a thread about robots and going “THAT DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE IT’S AGAINST THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS” – i.e., you’re treating an idiosyncratic feature of one specific storytelling tradition as though it’s a universal law, and you’re probably misunderstanding it to boot.

So do line cooks but they don't care.
If the first The Amazing Spider-Man comics were released in 1963 and the baby boomer generation birth dates are from 1946 to 1964, doesn't that technically make Spider-Man a baby boomer?
If you’re going strictly by Multiverse standards, that’s Peter Parker (Earth-616, Lee/Ditko, Amazing Fantasy #15, AUG 1962) and if it progresses like any other universe uninterrupted, then Peter Parker was born in 1945 and is 74 years old in 2019.
So he’s technically at the tail end of The Silent Generation, 1925-1945.
