Just saw it again the other day. It’s still really good imo.

I’m not saying other benefits aren’t there, it’s just that we know a lot of regulatory agencies are being severely cut so it’s gonna be less apparent soon enough. I’m in one of the higher tax brackets so aside from unemployment insurance, a lot of safety nets that require means testing are essentially inaccessible to me as well. Frankly it’s a miracle American society is still functioning even with so many tax cuts for corporations and the rich.

I pay roughly 30% of my gross income in th US. The only tangible benefit I get from it is the ability to drive on free roads on my way to work to earn more taxable income. I only wish my money didn’t go to subsidize the rich and make bombs to blow kids up on the other side of the planet.

Glad they didn’t have the usual “Maybe later” button and you have a means to block it out completely.

There’s a cyberpunk novel called Feed in which some teenager got a trendy Nike tattoo that would force him to say “Nike” in every sentence. I think that’s the next step in our deliberate effort to pay for the privilege of branding ourselves.

“Hello hotline? I’ve been feeling pretty blue lately and thought about dyeing that way. Can you give me any tips to be sure I don’t mess it up?”

Simple. Just brush the spider off the telescope’s aperture.

The Perpendicular Waltz in my ass.

In my neck of the woods onigiris were redubbed as “popcorn balls”.

They seem to have the only people willing to deliver to a drainage hole.
