The Gobbler has mandated that all children shall be issued jet packs at the age of five.

Those who survive are destined to conquer the universe.

Men's midlife crises are intensely boring they just get an expensive bike and marry a 30 year old version of the same wife whereas women do fucken cool stuff like open owl cafes, retrain as beekeepers and get phds in necromancy.

I’m tryna move to Portugal. Is that cool enough for you?

I would move to another planet, but the fare is quite expensive currently ($2-$40 trillion).

It’s Taxing

Posted on November 29, 2020 by quoderat

I’m already cringing at the thought of my taxes next year. Not having to pay; I don’t care about that. Why the dread is that I did hundreds of trades in the past year. I did consulting and contracting, too, that’ll make it all sorts of complicated.

If I thought it’d be any easier I’d use an accountant. But that’s just another time sink. No, I will do it myself, and hate it the whole time.

Pound of Cure

Posted on November 29, 2020 by quoderat

your current self is zapped back to September 2, 2001. how much of 9/11 do you think you could prevent. if you’d like, please reply with your reasoning and methodology

— Trevor Moore (@TrevorLess) November 27, 2020

All.

I still have (and would have had then, too) some relatively high-ranking contacts in the US government. For instance, I personally and professionally knew David Petraeus because we served in the 82nd together. I also personally and professionally knew other people that would’ve likely listened to me.

Failing that (if it didn’t work in the first few days), I would’ve found a few of the 9/11 attackers and killed them personally. That would’ve put the kibosh on that.

40 Hour Week

Posted on November 28, 2020 by quoderat

The 40-hour work week used to be radical and unrealistic.

— Ally Maynard (@allymayn) November 25, 2020

Yes it did.

That’s why when all the centrists/pseudo-liberals tell me what’s “impossible,” I look back at the past and see all the other completely achievable things that were once deemed impossible and conclude they are full of musk ox shit.

Some things might take much time but if it doesn’t violate the laws of physics, honey, it’s ain’t impossible.

Roll Over While I Shock You

Most of England banned from mixing indoors ‘until Easter.’

Yeah, this now has nothing at all to do with the pandemic and is all about destroying small businesses and exerting control. It’s the greatest social experiment of the modern era and we are the lab rats.
