My Starbucks barista has a degree in history i will ask him…..

This bicycle mechanic has one too. With most of a minor in political science.

The history degree was the 'what.' The poly sci classes were the 'why/'

I'm pretty much useless for anything other than being a know it all on certain topics

As the father of 3 boys(2 with a severe bleeding disorder) I am equal parts horrified, proud, and laughing my ass off

Stop appropriating my culture

That hair [and likely some primobolan or parabolan] tho

Bro, your dads were smokin hot. Take care of that hair accordingly

I'll spare you from getting on the soapbox I was planning on responding with so I'll just restructure my response with this-

It seems like just yesterday but 20 and so many years ago, this is how Budweiser used to advertise (just as an example for a company that had seemingly unlimited resources to perform market research on how we (the consumers) 'thought' publicly.




Sticking with Budweiser (again after plenty of market research ) going to this-



I only share this as one (of many) illustrations of how much and rapidly the landscape has changed. Crossdressing used to be the butt of the joke on mainstream television (think of the Friends series as an example) and now we're at the point where even questioning it will earn you some sort of phobic term. We've been as a nation placing people into positions not due to merit but rather because of their demographics that fit the current narrative and as long as they 'play ball' they have not only have the the benefit of playing ball but are now 'unquestionable' because of such demographics so double whammy I guess.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened to permit things to change so rapidly over the past 20 years or so- what I've come to accept as true anymore-

We've collectively lost faith- secular/non-secular affiliations not being included in that statement although there may be a societal link regardless. What I mean to convey when I say we've lost faith what I mean to say is nationally-

We've lost faith in our elected officials having their constituents' best interests in mind. We've lost faith in the belief that our nation's government is working for the "people" and exists for the "people" but rather accept that it's always been corrupt and we no longer believe that we deserve anything better. We've lost faith in our election process and whether our participation in such even matters. We've lost faith in our constitution protecting our 'inalienable' rights as well as whether even the term 'inalienable' carries any water let alone whether our day's youth even understand what the term 'inalienable' means. We've lost faith in accepting that our children deserve a quality education to learn such and that they should have been disciplined well enough at home to behave in the classroom and value education.

We've monitzed everything that used to be a cheap enjoyment. We have a society where just a generation ago- we could point out which house the gas station attendant/ seamstress/cook/butcher/etc. lived in, now we've accepted the narrative as a society that in this generation those professions are unacceptable and due to a series of poor life choices and as such don't deserve to have a house for themselves. Of course we still expect those very same services to exist but not to the point they can afford even the most basic of lifestyles or even rent on their wages. And we turn a blind eye that this isn't modern day Feudalism but now we have have the college educated class in STEM (not STEAM but I won't get into the "A" portion in this post) making well above median household salaries but can't afford a basic house either so now it's getting some news coverage and the national response is from those that got "their's" it's a dog eat dog world and if they haven't figured it out then that's their problem.

Alrighty- I'm done with that part, but what I really think is missing Nationally/Globally is the notion of "Hope" and "Wonder" By that I mean, that without "hope" why should we expect our youth to work hard when they don't have an incentive to believe that effort will lead to changing their situation? This is why Socialism is a failed system and always has been. It's also why so many feel the "Bern" and other such political promises because they're drowning and the party played into the game of pretending to not be part of the "establishment".

As for the "Wonder" part- how many here can recall the 1960's and the promise to put a man on the moon? The previously impossible acted as a lightning rod for our nation's greatest minds to come together and work towards a common goal to break what was previously held as scientific doctrine. And dang if we didn't smash through that ceiling and prove the 'science' wrong. After we did that for a couple of years- we gave up as a country and aside from computer advancements, shrugged our shoulders to every other pursuit and decided we'd just be happier with a new cell phone...

So yeah- apologies, this really was the short version but still a small rant regardless.

Problem lies in this

David Jeffries, Minority leader of the House of Representatives, spoke on national television …”WE are a Democracy”

When the supposedly educated “leaders” of our nation do not even know the type of government of our nation, I think the ship has pretty much broke in half and the bow is long gone heading for the bottom 18 thousand feet below the surface and the stern is not long to follow.

It’s a Constitutional Republic…Stupid.

It is proven on a daily basis that our "elected" officials are indeed the dumbest portion of society

Looks like you've got yourself a good one there! Most of my family is of polish heritage, and my hometown is heavily populated with the offspring of polish immigrants. Poland is doin' it right in more ways than one! Polish pride!

I suppose being in the tiny minority that does not drink coffee, I really don’t know what they say or what they do at Starbucks. Hear the place is really nasty.

They make "coffee" drinks for people who don't like coffee.

It's like the hard lemonade is to beer or the ACID to cigars.

Funny you should mention ACID cigars, had my first one the other day after gardening all day. Must have been on sale somewhere. Wow, the taste of that wrapper was completely distracting in a shitty way!
I finished it but will pass in the future and go right on loving my Padrons.

They also sell coffee beans that I enjoy. Don't question my taste in coffee. When it comes to what I like, I am the world's most renowned expert.

Broski, I need UDT shorts/chest rig tan lines [as well as a reasonable pile of war-crime stacked commies] to go along with this

Dude just go commando like the real men did. The commies won't know if you want to kill them or fuck them.

We might loaf around the hill like that because it was “DAMN HOT.” But we Never EVER went out in the bush dressed like that…. The Elephant grass would have a fellow bled out in the first hundred yards. Plus, why give the leeches a head start on their way to a fellow’s more important parts.

How about don’t question my taste and coffee and I won’t question your taste in college degrees

Get rid of that PTR and get an FAL. With your hair and propensity to wear booty shorts you would rock the Rhodesian merc look.

I like their Italian and espresso beans.

I don't have any problem with some of their roasts, it's the unholy abominations they create with the squeezins.
