Yeah, but if the state is constantly working it's ass off to stop other states from getting that federal assistance, they should go fuck themselves.
I really want, at this point, blue states to unionize this stuff on their own and let those red states deal with their own shit like they keep demanding
Curiouser and curiouser
There's an unexpected amount of philosophical rants and theory dropping throughout the book. Welcome, but unexpected for people who go in to read an action novel.
It's time to kick maga ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum
Just like his robots at that party and his taxis, the feels so much like he just has people doing the work and pretending to be AI.
Can't they just lie to me? "We've installed overhead ai systems with x Ray lidar invisiview technology throughout the airport, so no more need for security!"
Fucking even keep charging us for the fake technology and line your pockets. But let us all just walk to the damn terminal
I can't tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.
The answer is don't. "It will be fine" for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won't tell you that.
This apartment isn't big enough for the two of us and your constant eating of beans. You know why
One of mine is in high school, and as much as I hate the confirming culture, especially because it's led by morons and marketing, I choose the same path. I allowed my (now high school kid) to participate in all the awful crap that I would never do myself when she felt middle school pressure. She was in the popular kids group.
The caveat has been it all comes with extreme education from my end. Not demeaning or condescending. I over-preach about marketing/ads/influencers and constantly question why people make the choices they do. I question everything though. "How do you know that?" often leads back to tick tock.
In my experience, the OTHER kids are now getting smarter as they age. Mine is now able to live her life how she wants and is still with that same group , and the kids (I shit you not) look to her for purchasing advice. The vanity kinda goes away as their brains leave that dumb social hierarchy age.
Note: My kids are/were decked out in Nike. We live by the world headquarters and a good chunk of the kids' parents work there. If that isn't peer pressure, I dunno what is!
They can have idaho
