Why is real life so fucking stupid right now
Because the Supreme Court decided to allow unlimited dark money in politics with Citizens United.
Because you can't rule earth with just a few handful of ultra-rich overlords without making the masses totally dumb and easily manipulated first...
My guess is that we died during Covid and this is some kind of hell. Even though things were bad before 2020, I feel that the last five years has just been one bad thing beating the last bad thing
It makes me think back to episodes of Lost and think “that’s so much more plausible than current reality.”
Because Biff Tannen time-travelled from 1985 to 1955 to give himself a sports almanac that let him amass a huge fortune on sports betting, which he used to take over the country.
Oh god....
The good news is that all you have to do to fix this is make out with your mom.
Listen, I don’t make the rules. Just get to second base with your mom and we can all go home.
I'm just an innocent bystander here, but I specifically remember the last time these two were in 1955, the kid had to run from his mom, and I'm pretty sure the crazy scientist was drunk the whole time, at the very least.
If the scientist is neither crazy nor drunk, can they truly be said to be a scientist?
TIL I may actually be a scientist......
would you stop suggesting making out with my mom i'm starting to think you have some kind of octopus complex
Prove to me it wouldn’t help.
I would need a shovel for that
