  • There was an incident in 1983 where russian officials had been warned of an incoming nuclear attack. 4 missiles which would hit in roughly 3 hours. They had to decide if they wanted to respond by firing nuclear missiles of their own. The decision went to a 3 judge panel. The first 2 advisors said yes, fire nuclear missiles at the USA. The third man said no. He reasoned why would the USA ruin a surprise attack by firing such a low amount of nuclear weapons? If the USA was going to attack, it would attack with all it’s might. It wouldn’t fire just 4 missiles.

    The approval for retaliation required all 3 to agree on a decision. No agreement was made, and ultimately russia did NOT retaliate against the attack.

    Later, when no missiles hit russia, they realized it wasn’t missiles. It was clouds. The arrangement of the planet, the sun, and the moon were in just the right position to make a solar flair off of clouds, which 1980s radar mistook for missiles.

    Now, let’s look at this from the USA’s perspective. It’s just a random Tuesday. And nothing happened. America wasn’t even made aware of the event until the 2000s.

    But let’s imagine an alternate reality where the 3rd guy said yes. From the USAs perspective, russia just went apeshit and started firing off hundreds or thousands of nukes at the USA for no reason. Remember, they never did fire at russia, or even discuss it that day. They would have just looked at radar and realized they’d been attacked.

    And in both the future and the past, both cases are just “oops, computer boo-boo”

    So have fun sleeping tonight. Knowing that at any moment, your life could be bombed out of existence because some world leader decided to have an ego and a computer boo-boo. Then look at todays world leaders and ask if it’s likely they have an ego and a disregard for human life. I mean fucking hell, Putin will intentionally get his own men killed.

    We live in the dumbest timeline.


  • “Look man, this role is just a side gig for me. I’m just gonna lay here, and pretend to be dead. I get to have a few minutes of peace, doing absolutely nothing for 3 minutes, and make more money than the average American makes in 3 years. I don’t want a speaking part. That would be like…work. I just want to rest, and you guys get to advertise that Kate Moss was on your show.”

    This is the vibe I get from celebrities most of the time. She, as an actress, turned down a cameo role, because she, as an actress would have had to act. And that’s too much.

    Meanwhile I’ve worked in factories for $9 an hour, in 130F heat. Fucking hell.








  • I thought it was like 33 BCE, which counted down to 0, which is when Jesus died…and then waited 2000 years to come back as Y2K, but we stopped that from happening by updating all the computers before they caused the apocalypse. So instead we got hats that counted down to another year.

    Then a year and 9 months later 9/11 happened. And nobody cared anymore about bearded arabic guys from the middle east. I can’t speak for other countries, but here in America people went full racist mode. Sept 10th 2001, if you asked an average white guy what they thought of arabs, he’d probably just shrug. Sept 12th? He’s calling for death.

    So I guess the real question isn’t whether he was born in 33 BCE, or 7 BCE or 0 AD. The real question is "What the fuck are we even doing on this planet, if it’s nothing more then a revolving door or racism? Who’s going to be the next target? Black people? The Irish? Mexicans? Jews? Arabs? The Dutch? Oh who can keep up anymore…It’s all one big pile of “FUCK ALL OF THIS SHIT!!!”

    Always another day. Always another group to hate. Never an answer to the question “Why can’t we all just get along on a planet together?”







  • Ya know? I gotta plead ignorance on this one. I’ve never applied to work for the FBI. So I can’t comment on what the process is like…but never had I once considered the fact that the FBI not only asks on the application, and follows up on a background check who fucks animals.

    I don’t ever have thoughts that people fuck animals. 10 years ago when the epstein stuff came out, I was surprised to learn that not only do grown men fuck kids, but it’s also not even that uncommon among the rich.

    Now I’m finding out this animal fucking is a big enough problem that it was something they have to look into with applicants.

    And even weirder, they have abandoned that barrier to entry.

    What the fuck are we even DOING on this planet???
