I’m not a huge Biden fan by any means but I would argue he conquered his limitations where as Trump is defined by his.

The difference between persuasion and force. Or on the other end of the spectrum, the difference between mere arrogance and unabashed malice.

In case, like me, you don’t/didn’t know:

The MOT test (or simply MOT) is an annual test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in the United Kingdom for most vehicles over three years old.

Well, strictly speaking, if your location didn’t change you’d be transported into empty space. So you wouldn’t have very much to worry about for long.

This is a trip.

Dynavap are great. It can get a little collector-y though. All the different tips and caps and condensers and model years bla bla bla. It’s easy to either get overwhelmed or spend too much and get overly complex. The core benefit though is ironically the simplicity. If you’re considering trying out the dynavap world my recommendation is to get a middle of the road model. Don’t go too cheap, and don’t worry about all the razzle dazzel top tier stuff. Spend about $100 and then just spend time with it and see if you want to get fancier. It’s simple, clean, and durable. I moved to a dynavap after being a dedicated joint man. I go through way less weed, the experience is way more pleasant, and my mucous membranes and lungs are way happier. My only complaint is relying on a torch/jet lighter is a bit clumsy. They go through fuel really fast and really eat into the elegant simplicity of the process in general in my opinion. I have an induction heater in the mail, excited to see if it improves the experience at all.

For real?

Is this particularly bad? To my novice eyes this seems ok?

Well. If Trump capitulated on even one single vindictive whim, I’d feel a lot more encouraged. But it feels more like he’s operating with impunity. Which isn’t typically considered to be a traditional sign of impending obselesence.

I get the sneaking suspicion you enjoy being contrarian for contradictions sake.

“At all”?

Knowing ones limitations does not make one weak.

Tell me about it:

George HW Bush born 1924

Bill Clinton born 1946

George W Bush born 1946

Barack Obama born 1961

Donald Trump born 1946

Joe Biden born 1942

Time keeps progressing and politicians keep just getting fucking older.

Because they would make him feel important. Because they would make him feel cool and nonconformist. He would feel like he’s really making decisions and choosing a path. He would feel in control and ontologically whole. Incidentally these are the same blinding motivations which guide the anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, anti-education anti-healthcare, anti-student loan forgiveness, anti-free school lunch, anti-gun control, anti-immigration, anti-affirmative action, anti-environmental protection, anti-democracy crowd.

The problem with billionaires is the same as those who worship them, which I believe is what endears the latter to the former. They have a very profound hole in their self worth. If you’re a billionaire you probably got to be one by compulsively looking for something to fill that hole, or alternatively you inherited your wealth from someone who has. If you don’t recognize your worth, you don’t recognize your power. If you don’t recognize you power you feel powerless. If you feel powerless, your desperation to control makes you either easy to manipulate or antisocial, or both.

As is often pointed out, in order for this plan to work they need to die before procreating. Unfortunately the crowd that doesn’t take education seriously doesn’t take birth control very seriously either, or at least not in they way they should.

God as broad: Your Mom makes you a sandwich.

Devil as details: The meat in the sandwich is a dead animal. Your mom bought it from an evil mega corp. She paid for it with wages from her soul crushing job. No one makes her a sandwich.
