THEY HAD A NOTE FROM THEIR DOCTOR, LEISHER.

I wonder if their doctor is even really a doctor. jfc.

I googled the person, and the picture was horrible. Like yeah, a massively bloody scalp.

Got into an argument with someone yesterday who said astrology is a proven science.

Oy vey.

Maybe the internet was a mistake.

If we did an annual awards thing, this would be a finalist.

Today I listened to someone go on a rant about how billionaires are lazy fuck with no intelligence or creativity who just exist living off of empires mom and dad built that exploit workers.

Most billionaires are now self made.

Most billionaires are now self made.

more self-made people such as Bill Gates (Microsoft), Warren Buffet (Berkshire Hathaway), Philip Knight (Nike), and Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone Group), who had an upper middle-class upbringing and eventually built their own successful companies.

So they started on 2nd base instead of home plate? But I would like them to elaborate on where self-made billionaires and other wealthy came from.

I'd suggest that with it being an actual law that children must attend school, everyone in the USA starts on at least 1st base. Have two competent, loving parents, and that's 2nd.

I'd also like to know what Upper Middle Class means to people. Cuz no one wants to say they're "upper class" in wealth, just "upper middle"

I'd posit $150-$200k annual combined household income, for upper middle.

A twofer!

The poster didn't realize that's comedian Bobby Lee on his own podcast, and Bobby does indeed get legendarily bodied on his own show.

I have seen the same joke with different people from across the political spectrum responding in several places. When you put yourself on the internet, you had better be damn sure you're in a position to say what you're going to say.

I really hope this is a joke.
Another one today...

Steven A. is maybe 130 pounds soaking wet. Rogan is a black belt and trains in MMA daily.

I feel like it has to be? But I just can't tell any more.

I think a society should also help its citizens, but two things:
1. Society just needs to assure they have opportunity not hampered by red tape or illegally acting competition. "Help" is not giving them everything. Giving people everything is genuinely the worst thing you could do to them.
2. Do these people understand where a government's money comes from? It's genuinely concerning how little they seem to understand about finances.

I enjoy it when people speak confidently, with a quick cadence.

It's sad, but this is not a trip that should have been taken.

Going to guess alcohol was involved.

I can't even imagine the embarrassment of dying because of cold, in the middle of a forest of firewood.
