Thanks for the explanation. That is what I was thinking. His failure to use quotes is possibly no different than someone failing to capitalize the first letter of their uncle named jack.

Imo, this was far more likley a grammar error than an intentional alteration of the original Jefferson quote.

Like Abraham Lincoln said, those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it. Of course that God being Jake Paul, Ohio rizz phantom tax.

Did the removed quote use quotation marks to indicate where the quote ended and the personal thoughts of OP began?

Because there is a considerable difference in intent depending on where quotation marks are used.

Similarly, it’s the difference capitalization makes between “helping your uncle Jack off a horse” and bestiality.

No offense, but it feels like OPs comment was removed because you considered it bestiality / a call to violence, when it very likely was just a poor usage of grammar.

Buddha wants a “peace” of pizza.

Fasting grampa wants his life to matter, so feeds himself to Tiger instead of just bringing in another food source. Tiger gives no shits. But Grandpa lovers think his sacrifice was beautiful instead of unnecessary.

Not the Buddhist teaching. But my interpretation.

And one MAGA supporters should definitley read.

Imo, it’s what having a shit load of money does to people’s brains.

If you have a lot of it for long enough, you tend to think you deserve it/are important. But if your actions are shit because you are inherently neither of those things, then it creates some painful cognitive dissonance. And when you have that much money, not much is uncomfortable except what’s on your conscious. So specifically: You have money, but people don’t seem to like what you do with it, and that bothers you literally more than anything else (as all other problems of yours have been solved with money).

So instead of figuring out ways to use your money productively, you just go find others that won’t judge you for spending it all on what you like. But that goes both ways, as this group WILL judge you for not liking what THEY like to spend all their money on selfishly.

And what they like, is to be selfish - to build a bigger dick shaped rocket than anyone else who has the money to do the same. So, in order to keep the selfish assholes liking you, you complement them for being one while being ignorant that you are now the same.

The world gets a bunch of dick rockets that do nothing for it. And everyone who spends money selfishly feels they’re doing the right thing.

Basically, any societal pressure to spend money productively for the benefit of everyone can now just be suplanted by greedy peer pressure to exploit society for more dick rockets.

Emotionally, building dick rockets is now the only thing that makes these people feel they deserve their wealth. So at the end of their lives, they will do EVERYTHING in their power to finish their dick rocket masterpiece, as to them, it is directly tied to the legacy they’re leaving behind.

Without ever realizing their legacy is just another waste of billions that could have benefited humanity though being used in almost any other way. They’ve tied their own worth and self image to dick rocket building without realizing not a single other person benefits from or cares about dick rockets.

Europe is Putins Dick Rocket. Trump is McConnells Dick Rocket. Exploiting the stock market is Pelosi’s Dick Rocket etc.

In the pursuit of their own happiness, they reject any notion of charity in favor of more greed. Because they’ve never realized that their money doesn’t make them happy, it’s what they do with it that does. Instead of reaching that realization, they’ve instead tricked themselves into believing using money to make Dick Rockets could somehow make them happier than the social good-will basic charity always provides.

Lol. 😂

There’s a truly great indie beat-em-up RPG with Brian David Gilbert that just released called: INK INSIDE and it’s on sale for $15.

Funny enough, there’s been studies on Pedophilia that determined:

“pedophiles seek to gain a feeling of power and control” and also “pedophiles lack sexual interest in adults, and find children less intimidating.”

What do most greedy narccissists want? Power. Who are they intimidated by? Critical thinking adults. Something kids lack.

So the greedy - who are obsessed with power - who avoid critically thinking about their poor use of resources - will likely be drawn to pedophilia as a sexual outlet.

Elon Musk comes to mind. For many reasons.

This movie honestly started as a Star Wars script. And if made in that universe, it would have made the sequel trilogy look good in comparison. Now it’s like Netflix ordered a new Star Wars movie from Wish.com.

Not to be pedantic, but neither Automatic Transmission Fluid nor Data Encryption Algorithms have any kind of jurisdiction in any country on the planet. Op provided enough context clues to understand the country they’re talking about.

The only crime they committed is not including three words in a bracket to say “everywhere (in the US)” while still mentioning the jurisdiction of the three letter agencies in that country.

Is it US centralism thinking? Sure. But it’s not like OP left out all the necessary info to determine where and what they were talking about. Not to mention their entire post is a joke with a clear punchline. I don’t think anyone here is too stupid to understand the use of “jurisdiction” in OPs message, or the punchline it leads to, so why are you pretending to be that way to make a point? It simply weakens your point.

Imo there are much better places and comments to point out US exceptionalism BS than a throw away joke with enough context clues to understand it.

I would honestly like to see a reference to whatever study you’re quoting. Because all the data I’ve looked at clearly shows the US getting hit harder by COVID than anywhere else.

We’re #1 in both infections and deaths. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/

Over 100 million cases of it have been documented here, with over 1.1 million deaths. This also places us at the second highest of per capita deaths in the world under one country: Peru.

Our COVID death rate accounts for 1/6 of the total world deaths from COVID.

A nice mouse and keyboard. Especially for a gaming PC. There’s a few good mechanical keyboards you can get for under $100 too. HyperX isn’t bad, and has a nice price point on their mouse and keyboards imo. (Though they were bought by HP last year, so who knows about the future quality of the brand)

OR a nice headset if you don’t have one yet.
