Is that the Party whose members make terrible decisions that cause serious harm in our actual lives based entirely on make-believe fears and misunderstood jokes?
Sounds awesome. You can save a whole 7 minutes on the airport commute, which is totally worth the 30 minutes it will take you to get in your car, drive to the tunnel station, walk to the terminal, pay for a ride, and wait for a car to pick you up.
I agree with her, though. There shouldn’t be any regulations on space travel. Anyone dumb enough to hop in an unregulated rocket for a hundred million mile journey to colonize an arid rock with no water, no food, no atmosphere, and no magnetic field should be encouraged to do so immediately.
Bon voyage, idiots!
I’m just sad that the left will use this to divide people. We should be able to remain friends while disagreeing about the political issue of broiling each other in mass ovens.
That’s pretty close to our list. Remove UNC, add Wisconsin and CU (which is basically UT from the mid-90s, and rising). We’ll probably toss an application over to Berkeley, too.
Our youngest is comfortably auto-admit and is looking for a big prestigious state university with good sports, but probably won’t even apply to (and certainly will not enroll at) UT.
It’s crazy because so much of our family graduated from UT and loved it so much that being a Longhorn is part of our identity. But in talking through school options, I just keep finding myself saying “Fuck UT. It’s becoming a fascist shithole. Go somewhere else.”
It’s really depressing.
There’s nothing magical about Gen X specifically. Every generation gets stupid, greedy, and bitter as they hit their midlife crisis. That’s why whatever group is in its 50s at the time supports the party that tells them poor people are stealing your nest eggs and offers low taxes and protection from the unruly socialist mob.
“I’ll be one of the smart ones who uses AI to enhance my capabilities and replace coworkers, rather than be replaced by it” is the delusional twin of “I won’t be one of the victims of fascism.”
The hubris and greed of fools is going to fuck us all. In the end, the talking apes will prove to have been nothing more than a suicidal flash-in-the-pan.
