I may just start believing the internet again.
There was a little blurb about hating to sit through the previews when waiting to watch a DVD movie. It said you could skip all of them and go straight to the movie if you hit STOP. STOP. PLAY.
I just did and it fucking worked!

I learned something. Most people (including me) thought that the number rating for earthquakes was measured on the richter
scale. Come to find out, that scale don’t work for quakes bigger than 7. We now use the Moment Magnitude Scale…each number
is 30 times more powerful than previous number.

How can you be pro-life, yet be against universal health care? What most people fail to realize is that in the US we have had universal health care for a long time. Anybody could just walk into an emergency room for care. But that was too expensive. I do not have faith in the federal government to solve this problem anytime soon.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS...
The bartender at the American Legion went just a little too crazy even for me to tolerate. Don't get me wrong...he is a very smart man, but he is in need of intense therapy more than anybody I've ever known. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice to say that I was the last regular member to give up on the boy.
Anyway, I'm looking for a new bar near my home and found the bar at the pizza restaurant near my home. Everybody already knows my name and the beer is relatively cheap.
At this place today, I made the following observations:
1: A grown (probably 30) year old man that works at the bar was instructed to set up a six foot stepladder and do this or that to the windows. The man did not know how to set up a stepladder. The manager had to tell him to mash down on the cross members to make it stable. Then when he finished, he kept trying to re-mash them down, as if they were spring-loaded. The manager had to tell him to push them up. This employee is gay. I didn't want to comment on his ineptness because I thought I would be thought a homophobe.
2: I watched a TV show with closed caption and when the guy said infectious, the words were spelled "infect such". I figure they use voice recognition.
3. I watched the national spelling bee and discovered that 90% of the winners were Indian. Why is it that Indians can spell so well?
4. I noticed that the girls in the Women's Softball World Series wore eye make-up...even under the catcher's mask! I will repeat, for women, is life just one big beauty contest?
5. I like discussing things with you. Today I realized that the funny (hopefully) pictures and such is my way to entertain you while giving you my opinions without having to endure too much boredom. This is getting harder and harder to do, thus requiring more and more time. With that said, let's go a little deeper, shall we.
There is a concept which states that every action we take and every thought we have is controlled (mandated) by the society in which we find ourselves.
Even the rebel CAN be a rebel only because his society gave him PERMISSION to be a rebel.
I find this very, very......distrubing.
I need some advice.
THERE WILL BE A POST OF JUST CAPTIONED IMAGES TOMORROW.

Are you a rebel? Do you rebel? If you achieved the goals of your rebellion, who would rise up against you and why? Why are they wrong? How many answers to questions like these are opinions?
A rebel doesn't need permission, but he absolutely needs something to rebel against. Rebels either change society and are no longer rebels, or they are gotten rid of, or the society creates the "freedom" to rebel without consequences by defining how you are allowed to rebel. Most rebels in the US fall into the 3rd category with speeches, assemblies, boycotts, and martyring themselves with misdemeanors. The only place rebels don't exist is beyond the border, on the frontier, where there is only the true Law of the Land. If you go against those laws, you perish swiftly (i.e. no rebels) without any judgment or persecution. That border doesn't physically exist anymore. Wherever you go, you owe taxes to somebody and there are laws for you to follow. Even the digital frontier is slowly being emancipated.

THAT'S THE MOST DEPRESSIN THING I'VE EVER READ.
There's a glorious early-morning thunderstorm going on here; crazy-bright pure-white lightning bolts against a faintly-lightening steely blue-grey sky. I feel compelled to point these things out.

That poll isn't about "happiness"; it was: rate country_x on whether their influence in the world is 'mainly positive' or 'mainly negative'.

"Universal healthcare that is too expensive" is not universal in any meaningful sense; it's just a form of wage-slavery induced whenever one first visits a hospital. I don't have much confidence in the US Gub at this point, either, but I have even less confidence in the power of the glorious unfettered market. Wait wait, that's verboten language! Capitalism be praised! Marx was Satan! All Hail Entrepreneurship!

Clearly the egg-students are wearing black tees because they're mindless. But they're also wearing clothes at all because they're mindless, and the one with flip-flops especially so. So many thong-wearing drones! Gosh! Whatever happened to individuality!

Also: damn! I wanted to link to the Falkirk Wheel the other day; something in one of your posts made me think of it. Didn't get around to it, though. I love that thing; remarkable engineering and aesthetics:

wrt that end bit, consider it this way: if you threatened anybody with the ability and desire to react to threats, do you think you'd be around? Power corrupts, as they say; once you have it, you don't want to lose it. Conclusion: "rebels" only exist if a sufficient critical mass of non-rebels tolerate them. Otherwise they would be (and are) swatted like nuisance flies.
I'd take the vine-borne anon-comment a step further and note that this ephemeral "law of the land" never existed at all, on any frontier. "Law" has always been 1) whatever we make up at the time and 2) whatever bits of 1 can be enforced, aka "people ain't got no rights but what they can fight fer" as my hill-dwelling relatives would say. Once we start moralizing we start disagreeing with and/or killing each other for doing it wrong. It is our nature.
If you want even more depression, consider Robert Sapolsky's (excellent) lecture about the biological underpinnings of religiosity. Long story short: society tolerates and essentially adopts schizotypal personalities because their weird behavior functions as a source of fascination and catharsis. In other words, the "weirdos" (or "rebels" in this context) are kept around only and specifically because they let the "normies" find humor and calm in this absurd reality.
*shrug* social systems, how do they work?
