If you put together the season posters for Reacher they tell the story of a large man who can't remember where he put his keys.

Induction ranges have gotten so good too, there's really no practical reason to have gas anymore.

Which isn't to say that ambition isn't extremely fucked up either-- in theory having big goals for yourself is admirable, but the only acceptable goal is to amass a lot of money and power by any means necessary, and then "being a provider" is the end that ultimately serves to justify those means.

working on a theory of history called "the worst guy" theory basically whatever movement you create will eventually come to be controlled by its worst guy, and will likely be defined by its worst guy, so you gotta be really vigilant about figuring out where your threshold for worst guy is

the year is 2026. there’s no more video games. a large pizza is $50. infowars is good. everyone has diarrhea 😆

Russian roulette but it's the Sizzler salad bar

you do not, in fact, have to hand it to RapistHitler
