No, but really — look around you. Look at the world. You never did.

It’s “fuck your feelings” world. It’s Trump World. This was you.

While I don’t think you are a Russian plant because they are hitting the larger targets and are quite a bit more competent than you are, you give every indication of being a Russian plant _wannabe_ trying to build up a resume. Did you lose your job as a 7-Eleven night janitor or something?

My irony meter not only exploded, it fragmented into nanoparticles creating an enormous health risk for my entire zip code.

I am looking forward to collecting Social Security for about the next thirty years just so I can stick it to the OP.

\*Speaking of jitterbugging, after a couple of hours of frustration last night trying to figure out a home network application, I confided to Mrs. J. that I was about ready to give up and settle for one of those Jitterbug cellphones with the _really big numbers_. 😕🙂

Hey check it out:

you’re an actual classist piece of shit

and

you aren’t clever

and

arrogance doesn’t suit you.

No but seriously, I want you to walk yourself through your own attempt at a “joke” here and I want you to think about the world right now, and the people in it, and the things that they are compelled to do, and I want you to understand one thing primarily:

you are a classist piece of shit.

21 years on some hippie runoff message board (I say this with fondness — it was better then) and however long you’ve had in Portland to understand that other people exist and you still want to rag on “the 7-11 night janitor.”

Anybody else want to take shots at poor people, or we sticking to taking shots at people’s lack of access to basic care/services/opportunities?

Urns.

When you put this one on your resume, bear in mind that those blank lines don’t count in your word count, so you might want to double up on the juvenile wordplay to make up for it.

This place used to seem like it was populated by maybe-cool professorial types and now it’s basically four old people huddled together at a McDonald’s talking about the news anchor’s tits and wondering why no one comes around anymore.

Also lol somebody named “Czarcasm” who’s decided to ride that horse for 21 years (your account is old enough to get drunk and tell you that you were a terrible parent now) is concerning themselves with the juvenility of wordplay.

I guess it’s nice, sometimes, to be able to think of anything juvenile. Probably been a while.

And yet you had absolutely nothing to contribute to the conversation all those years you were supposedly lurking, and now that we have supposedly gone down hill you just can’t shut the fuck up, can you?

If there’s one thing Libertarians are known for it’s their advocacy of working people. How is it possible that so many people with such deep insight can exist in one place?

Do you think this means anything? Like, does this resolve to explicable language for you? This reads like a Trump tweet with minor hesitation on the capital letters.

A little bit more and it’ll pass a Turing test, I’m sure of it.
