The Palestinians have taken to the streets to sing songs in your honor. You’ve saved them!

while Superman himself is invulnerable, the rest of the world isn’t

Larry Niven wrote a great essay many years ago about the physical realities of being Superman. My favorite bit was about how him having sex with Lois Lane would have resulted in her head being blown off.

Star Wars where the X-Wings behave more like airplanes than spacecraft

My favorite part of Empire Strikes Back was when Luke takes his (presumably) short-range interceptor X-Wing and flies it to another star system to hang with Yoda. I dunno, maybe canon explained this one somewhere (was Yoda’s planet in the same star system as Hoth or something? are X-Wings capable of FTL travel for no reason?).

Thoo Faith

I honestly think it’s going to work

I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future, but Trump tried this same thing four years ago and couldn’t pull it off - and he was actually still the President at that time. Seems like it would be even more difficult for him to do it this time as an ex-president, especially considering that he’s now so old and senile that he can’t even paint himself orange properly any more.

Fun TJ Maxx fact: in England the stores are called TK Maxx, apparently because “TJ” means “tug job”.

Nah, prisoners and children will take over all the shitty jobs.

7. Obsession with National Security

I think they’ve quietly dropped this one, since they don’t seem to mind Trump being owned by a Russian dictator, his son-in-law getting two billion dollars from the Saudis, or Trump stealing classified documents and casually leaving them lying around for foreign agents to help themselves to.

he left office with a projected budget surplus

It wasn’t a projected surplus, it was an actual surplus for his final two years. I suppose you could say it was also a projected surplus, but Bush II and Dick “Reagan Proved Deficits Don’t Matter” Cheney took care of that right quick.

I don’t know their views on that, it’s never come up. I know they really hate black people, which is the primary impetus behind their support of trump. They like to use the word “native” to describe them, thinking they’re oh-so-subtle and secret with that shit, similar to the “let’s go brandon” vibe.

I have a few lesbian coworkers who are absolutely rabid trumpers. It’s just some of the craziest shit I’ve encountered in person.

Would you think those guys would know to do something about a dude on a roof with a rifle?

Does anybody really know how to handle fame and fortune? That kind of shit has been going on since long before MrBeast and Youtube.

I mean, he’s promised to deport Americans who protest on behalf of the Palestinians. He sure wouldn’t hesitate to deport Palestinian refugees.

At my last company, they usually gave end-of-the-year bonuses instead of raises. They were pretty generous, usually amounting to about half of our annual salaries, but it of course prevented us from being guaranteed that level of compensation the following year. That’s why I always describe bonuses as raises followed by pay cuts.

I once quit my job at a software company I really hated. They were desperate to keep me around for the projects I was leading so they asked if I would work hourly for a while. I quoted them a go-fuck-yourselves hourly rate which they immediately agreed to, which made me even more angry about my prior years of poor compensation. I worked under this agreement for about half a year and further improved my effective hourly rate by not working very hard.

I’ve traveled in India - there’s no way that would produce anything but piles of dead children. My money’s on being replaced by AI first.

At my last job I managed a team of developers in India (while residing in the US). It was pretty much necessary for me to be available outside of my company’s normal work hours. I always compensated myself for middle-of-the-night activity with time off during the day and nobody ever mentioned having a problem with it. I was eventually rewarded by being laid off with everybody else when my company was acquired by a west coast tech giant.
