It IS crazy but please take John Brown’s final words to heart:

“I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”

We are repeating history and that man was an enemy of any rational or empathetic souls left in this country. I took the warnings of others seriously before watching the footage, as it is indeed awful. But that man would have been happy to watch me die. Knowing that, I can’t pretend it doesn’t feel good to see a threat neutralized.

I think about this all the time while commuting. I yearn so much to teach the drivers this one simple trick!

We have our own hissy sissy right now trying to ignore the 1 year old kitten brothers. Our long gone Orange stray took 14 years to sit on my lap, but then I got three years of constant lap attention. Cats are so stubborn.

I have not, does he suffer a silly or terrible fate? Or is he supposed to be better in that?

I tried to rewatch it and put my hate aside, but naw. He is just a roast beef on the screen instead of a man.

I just assume they couldn’t find any other living person who wants Maxwell to be pardoned.

Well said.

It’s from The Big Lebowski, the Jackie Treehorn scene.

Such a good book, I too went on a tear through his work after Fight Club and I think this and Choke are fighting for my top spot.

So much impact for so short a story. Great pick!

I had a one-night-stand on a cruise once that was fun but almost ruined when he took off his shirt and there was a cross necklace on his chest. Missionary was basically my vampire ass trying not to get burned by the cross.

If I see a bumper sticker that mentions jesus, I definitely assume that car is driven by the least christ-like person imaginable, and give them space.

I will happily share my beans, but I guess it’s weird to just put beans in your neighbor’s bowl without their consent.

Still here, still trying to convince people to leave reddit, but some people won’t even leave twitter or facebook, so what are you gonna do? Lemmy has taught me to be happy with my beans.

I like the way you think but am horrified by your potential skunk-harvesting techniques.
