Ugh but they suck so bad...

Jokes aside, how can we trust people that have already displayed such selfishness? How can we trust they won't continue to work against the group interest the second their goal is no longer aligned with ours?

I'm aware, but I also doubt these shares will decrease in value much if at all, plus it was a gag among my ludite coworkers that I could do it on my phone.

I bought it this morning! Better late than never

Except those were free and for disadvantaged people that couldn't afford a normal phone plan but still needed one to interact with modern society.

And live in Aroostook county, there's still basically nothing to do there.

This comment section reeks of insecurity and excuses

I have Crohn's and shit my pants all day at work. I still wipe my ass and go for a run when I clock out because it's keeping me healthier than I would be otherwise.

I was that person. I made time. Fucking 20 minutes on a stupid treadmill 3 times a week, I'm in and out in 40 minutes with changing, a quick sauna and a shower, back on my stupid commute home. But now I sleep better, I have incentive to eat better so I can train more easily, I'm happier, I road rage less, my boss complimented how I look, and my wife has NOTICED. Don't make excuses, get a tub of pre workout and suck it up.

Maybe if we all ship him a bottle...

Yea but I also have a job, and a wife and dog that would suffer if I martyred myself, even if I only wound up in prison. I think a lot of people look at the situation and see the same hopelessness, and can only hope for it not to get worse, because chances are if we do nothing, we won't lose everything, but not the same if we do choose to do something.

"First they came for the..."

I agree, but I don't have a better answer. I empathize like hell with my queer friends, I understand the fear, but what am I going to accomplish alone with a rifle and how likely is it that a legitimate militia could be established before being wiped out, and how would it even be organized?

I think it has to start with the military. I think if a large enough chunk of soldiers and materiel defected, enough for a fighting chance, that civilians would join in droves. But I don't really know, that's just what I've come to think.
