Not being an rear end when I ask this, where did you go to school? I'm yet to find a textbook that doesn't have the picture and explanation for the phrase. I've seen school texts from a half dozen different states, and not a single one didn't have it and cover it. I'm asking, because I'm legit shocked. I know there are half rear end schools, and half rear end teachers, but this surprised the poo poo out of me.

Again, legit, not intending to be an rear end in a top hat.

Public school in Florida. The only history class I remember was American history (which didn’t get much into the Holocaust) and my sophomore year history class with a teacher that was changing careers after the school year and his effort reflected it.

Then I dropped out.

I really wonder what would be happening if we had a competent president and if we had a strong unified message across all levels of government. I doubt we'd be having these protests if that was the case.

Though I suppose if we had a Democrat President, all those rich billionaire fucks would still be astroturfing protests, probably saying "THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY BLLLAAAARGGH"

I don’t think we would be in this position at all. The US is a really lovely country but I think we did a lot to keep things in check.

For example, having a pandemic team and a fully funded Department of Health (specifically the CDC).

There’s a reason SARS didn’t get this bad, and I don’t think it’s just because it’s not as deadly (though I don’t really know much about SARS — just comparing the US between then and now). I think the US hosed the entire world on this one. And while I don’t think one country should ultimately be responsible for what happens in another country, the United States (and just about ever western democracy, tbh) is the last country I give that pass to.

But maybe I’m a total idiot and I’m overestimating the power of a fully functioning US.

If we had all not been stupid, we would be done dealing with it right now.

I wish chuds (and stupid non-chuds) had the self awareness to realize if they had spent the last 30 days (or even the first 30 days) staying in the loving house, we would easily have gotten over the worst.

The coronavirus has a guaranteed vaccine for people who haven’t caught it yet, but we gotta get haircuts instead.

The teachings of Jesus, as I, a heathen, understand them, are pretty secular in nature and can be summarized with “don’t be an rear end in a top hat to people and take care of each other.” The GOP does not know the same Jesus.

I can only hope that there’s some arcane secret society that will be keeping watch over Musk’s kid to make sure he doesn’t fulfill some prophecy and become Baphaelizar, Cybernetic Devourer of Worlds, or at least stop him from jamming his head up his own rear end like his dad has repeatedly done.

I hope he’s just trolling but if he isn’t, I think naming your baby crazy poo poo like that is some incredibly entitled billionaire poo poo because otherwise you’re stacking the deck against your kid in a normal public school.

It’s always weird to me how people like Musk think that they will be able to withstand life in some inhospitable environment. The dude grew up rich and has never truly struggled in his life. He melts down when people contradict him on twitter. How does his thin skinned self think he’s surviving in the barren wastes of Mars? I know he over hypes his intellect and his actual parts in his company, but I’d think he’s smart enough to know that colonizing another planet would be pure agony.

I'm gonna guess that this is actually a smart move seeing as how we don't know enough about covid-19, especially with regards to people getting reinfected and the long term side effects that we still don't know about.

I'm sure it will change but for now it seems actually quite prudent.

Is it confirmation bias when you see an organization — that you associate with being a huge mess — do something right, you immediately think they did something wrong/stupid because it was so out of character for them?

I had a bunch lying around but they aren’t good for much other than taking up space. Well that’s what I thought anyways. Had I known I could carry one around for street cred I might have held onto a couple.

DC’s traffic problems can be summarized by assuming that someone with Trump’s intelligence and forward thinking ability designed the roadways.

Six lanes merging down to two lanes so those two lanes can merge with another six lane, all in half a mile, every two miles.

I have heard DC doesn’t have it the worst but it’s really hard for me to imagine a more poorly designed highway system than the capital beltway and all the poo poo connected to it.
