I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

I once let my wife win a video game to make her happy. She looked me right in the eye and said, "My old boyfriend played much better than you."

ECONOMIC OBSERVATIONS


Hoarding money is the same thing as hoarding food and housing while people are living on the street going to bed hungry. Is this the way you would design your ideal society?

^^A1^^

^^A2^^

Missing the entire point...

Companies don't give a fuck about your grandma. Only your money.

^^A3^^

AMUSEMENT


And...
^^B1^^

^^B2^^

But...
American girls prefer a more confrontational approach...

Crazy bitches everywhere stand in awe of the chosen one.

^^B9^^

Try to remember that he is just a guy. He is not God's chosen messenger. He is just a guy asking for your money - over and over and over again.

If I had a time machine, I’d go back in time and wait for the first person who ever said it to say “It is what it is” so I could smack them in the back of the head with their own Whole Food bag.

THAT WHICH IS SELDOM SEEN


Wilt Chamberlain in training, 1962

His feet are in 2 different time zones...or so I'm told.

^^C1^^

Somebody who knows about such things needs to watch this and tell me if it's just some teenagers fucking around.
^^C2^^

I need your help, Gentle Readers. I was once captured by Google Map while I was getting in my truck early one morning. I looked for it for over an hour but couldn't find it in my image files and it has been removed from Google Maps. I'm sure I once posted it on Folio Olio so if you run across it, please send it to me. Thanks.
^^C3^^

I want to believe he just got off a double shift and is exhausted but I'm too jade with humanity to really believe that it is not alcohol related.
^^C4^^

That's amazing.
^^C5^^

I would haul a cooler out to my lawn chair and watch it do that all afternoon.
^^C6^^

Talk about an inability to leave your work at the office.
^^C7^^

Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

I bet if you lived there you would reach a point where you wouldn't even look around anymore.
^^C8^^

Don't forget to look both ways when being an asshole.

^^C9^^

The secret ingredient is hate. This is 100% the reason I NEVER make a fuss or don’t speak without respect when ordering food. They have absolute control over what goes in your mouth and are not above putting their dick in it. All you Karens need to write that shit down.

^^C10^^

A happy stork couple celebrating their first egg.

^^C11^^

I was lucky enough to grow up with a bamboo forest near my home. We used it to make all kinds of things. Some of those stalks would get a large as a dinner plate.
^^C12^^

A massive school of small fish. People for scale.

It was stated that the appearing and disappearing white spots were the fish reacting to diving birds.
^^C13^^

Goalkeeper gets sent off for attacking his own player...

That's insane!
Well, does he look insane?
Yes. Yes, he does look insane.

No one:

Literally no one ever:

Grocery stores: Let’s rearrange everything!

*That drives my wife up the wall.

HUMAN INGENUITY


I wonder if the writer of the movie Contact got the idea from that or the other way around.
^^D1^^

Does that board mean the tub doubles as a commode?

It would be my luck to be sitting on it jerking one off when a family of four slowly rowed by the window in a canoe.
^^D2^^

I greatly appreciate people who do things like this for our amusement...
And...
^^D3^^

Filming the train crash scene from "Back to the Future 3," 1980s.

^^D4^^

Don’t mess with Granny! 

This is said to be the most dangerous knife in the world.

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

They use that trick when filming in a grocery store.
^^D7^^

How to eliminate both plastic and paper grocery bags...
And then you just roll it into your kitchen. Brilliant!
^^D8^^

I once met a very interesting guy who designed industrial machines like that. He said that his job was more akin to art than engineering.
^^D9^^

"The electric scooter has been the main way of transportation in Taiwan for a while now. The recharge stations are everywhere."

I once watched a video showing how electric cars could drive through a bay and automatically have the old batteries dropped out the bottom and new batteries inserted in a matter of minutes. I had hoped that would catch on.
^^D10^^

Cleaning the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Then a team of people sorts it - I'm assuming for recycling.

Meanwhile in India...

That's kind of how I feel about anti-vaxxers making the problem worse while so many people are working to make it better.


BTW I found the link if anyone is interested in donating to The Ocean Cleanup project: PROJECT LINK

^^D11^^

And that is why we have a labor shortage. During covid young people came face to face with their mortality and have opted not to be miserable for the rest of their lives.

Your understanding of economics and money amazes me.. You talk like when one person becomes wealthy, other must become poor, like there is a limited supply of wealth. The wealthiest people do not "hoard" money, thus depriving others. Their wealth comes from their assets growing in value. I can almost say with certainty that the $110 Billion guy holds 109.9 billion in asset values and almost no actual cash. Take an economics class. please. and stop coveting other peoples things.

Dear Professor Fardygardy, So, if the top 10 wealthiest people owned $550 trillion in assets then it would have no effect on the other 99% of the population?
And I don't covet other people's things - I just want them to pay more taxes to help pay for roads, bridges, etc.

Dear Mike, I have had 35% of my money taken every year. All I ask is for the super-rich to do the same.

Ralph Henry said...

Dearest Anon Map Guy, You are a gem. I found exactly what I was looking for.
Much thanks.
