I read it as a kid via Great Illustrated Classics, which are adaptations made to be easier to read to get children into classics

e.g. “a damp, drizzly November in my soul” and “bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet.” gets paraphrased to, “whenever life got me down.”

Might be a good way to finally read it?

No it isn’t, that’s like saying, “Don’t feel sad” is a double negative

A double negative is something like, “Don’t not do that”

I am damned well sure I could take one (would get battered, but I’d come out on top, just need to get it by the neck once)

The problem is those fuckers live in flocks

Oh yeah for sure. It’s why I think his later fire is due to him being pissed - I’d be pissed at myself too if I got thrown off by something I should have KNOWN was coming

Hence him getting pissed after. Embarassment due to being stomped by a strategy he knows about

My bet is that Trump’s stream of bullshit just threw Biden off completely, and his quick recovery to that fiery speech was him getting pissed that he got curbstomped by Shitler in a debate

Next debate should hopefully be VERY different

It’s freaky how much this is mirroring the lead up to Nazi Germany. Right down to a convicted criminal spewing nonsense yet looking poised to take over

I am legitimately scared

Best case scenario is both Biden and Trump dropping

Also, a huge chunk of shortform videos on YouTube are just reposted Tiktok videos, so Google doesn’t have that either

God I hope so. A literal one taking him out would be wonderful

Eh, I just don’t know how to start

Google is different!

They’d find a way to kill a great product at the same time as being charged!

Basically, Google trying to kill adblockers internet wide via containing addons in restrictive containers. Firefox and anything branched off of it are the only browsers not jumping on. Google apparently starting it up now with V3

Death by bone cancer

So lick the non stick pans to sterilize myself?

Completely agreed. Just need to figure out how to get at the rich, since they like to keep people in poverty

10% income fine for somebody poor could mean the difference between eating or not

10% income fine for somebody rich can hurt, but they’ll still be VERY comfy

And that’s assuming loopholes are closed that let them have no income but be rich

With brackets. 10% of income hurts somebody poor more than somebody rich (even though it still hurts way more than a flat fine. Also assuming looopholes are closed)

My brother at 13 was killed by a train

What my mother did was start a campaign to get people to practice common sense and safety around trains. Our family doesn’t blame the train at all - We instead got better crossing safety put in place and helped get more awareness that train tracks are stabilized in cities to minimize noise and that horns are directed outwards, so a train is quieter head on than you think, ie look both ways before you cross

Like, if my own family can get that, then why can’t these anti train fucks?
