The “journalist” in Buffalo, NY existing in a perpetual state of butthurt because @AngryCops manages to be a full-time detective, drill sergeant, husband, and father. While still having time to break bigger stories than them as a fucking YouTuber, is hilarious.
@ipostnews get fucked. Why don’t you try to help the kids of @Buffalo_Schools instead of attacking the man that risked his career to expose them?
Not what “happens” what happened. Your money is given to the generation before you.
People think the government has it in a savings account for them. They don’t and never have.
Completely unrelated heres the definition of Ponzi scheme:
fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.
My kids are never going to believe me when I tell them that back in my day you could just put the video game in the console and fucking play it without needing to wait 45 minutes for an update.
14 year old: I got my first part-time job!
Society: Congrats, don’t forget to pay taxes
17 year old: I want to join the military
Society: Hell yeah, go for it
18 year old: I can’t afford college
Society: Here’s a predatory loan you’ll pay back for 40 years, and you can’t bankrupt.
18 year old: I want to vote
Society: Absolutely, you should honestly be voting at 16!
19 year old: I want to become a porn star and have those images of me on the internet forever.
Society: Your body, your choice
20-year-old with 6 years of work experience, a deployment in Afghanistan, and $300k in debt: Can I have a beer and a cigarette?
Society: WHOA!!!!! absolutely not, your brain isn’t fully developed!
I fucking hate the “minimum wage is for high schoolers” talking point.
A. No it isn’t, that’s historically inaccurate.
B. Telling a kid to work hard and earn money the “right” way, then turning around and saying he deserves less just because of his age is bullshit.
Pay should be based on performance. Nothing else.
If you’re against raising the minimum wage, that’s fine. Make a better argument that isn’t belittling kids trying to work hard and earn something for themselves.
If there were a “recipe for the greatest cake ever,” written by a guy who never baked, just complained about baking while living off his rich friend…
And tons of college-educated people who’ve also never baked swear it must be the best cake ever…
Meanwhile, over the last century, 25–30 world-class chefs have tried to make it. Every time, people get food poisoning. Millions die.
Is every chef wrong… or is the recipe shit?
Before you answer, bear in mind if you bring up the recipes, track record, all the same college-educated people will autistically screech at you, “that wasn’t the real greatest cake ever.”
I think a potential downside of democracy, where everyone gets an equal vote simply for existing, is what happens if one generation is, for whatever reason, significantly larger than all the others.
That generation could dominate the political system, essentially creating an age-based oligarchy.
For example: when this generation was young and trying to buy houses, they could vote for politicians who made housing cheap and plentiful. Then, once they aged and wanted their home values to skyrocket, they could elect politicians who added layers of building restrictions—driving up their property values while making housing unaffordable for everyone else.
Wait…
Many older people take issue with me referring to war heroes as “gangsters.” But the term gangster is actually a compliment. And it wasn’t popularized as one by Hollywood movies or rap music, as most people assume.
During World War II, Nazi propaganda labeled Allied special operations units, like Paddy Mayne and the SAS — as “gangsters” for their unconventional and highly effective tactics.
American bomber crews were called Luftgangsters, literally “air gangsters” or “gangsters of the sky.”
Eventually, Allied troops embraced the term as a backhanded compliment, much like how U.S. Marines adopted the name “Devil Dogs.”
If the Nazis called you a gangster, it meant you were feared, unconventional, and effective.
Me at 16:
“I don’t understand why anyone would want to settle the West. Leave a city with cobblestone streets, police, institutions, and amenities — just to hop in a covered wagon and fight for your life every single day for the chance to live in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere.”
Me at 30:
“Never mind, I get it.”
So the new conspiracy theory is that the government is covering up the Epstein client list because the CIA, FBI, or some other intelligence agency was involved in running it?
Guys, that’s just plain crazy. We can totally trust the government.
It’s not like they’ve ever:
-Run a whorehouse to secretly dose people with psychedelic drugs in an attempt to develop mind control.
https://t.co/6boAa1dMRL
-Ever sprayed a cloud of bacteria over a major city, made a bunch of people sick, just to see what would happen?
https://t.co/p7r0kGbBcu
-Offer free healthcare to poor Black men, tell them you’re treating their syphilis, a completely treatable disease, and then deliberately not treat it, just to see what happens.
https://t.co/gtuO6hyc8b
-Inject a 53-year-old man, who was in the hospital after a car accident—with radioactive plutonium without telling him, just to see what would happen.

The average person receives about $450,000 from Social Security over their lifetime.
But if you paid $10,918 per year from age 18 to 67, that’s over $530,000 invested—meaning you’re actually losing money.
Counter-offer:
Instead, invest just $5,000 a year into the S&P 500. Historically, it averages around 10% returns, but let’s be conservative and assume only 5%.
You’d end up with just over $1 million—and it’s your money. You can access it when you need it, and if you die, it goes to your family. Not the government.
Yes, Social Security also covers disability—about 13% of total benefits. Fine. Tax everyone $1,000 a year to fund that separately.
Everyone still comes out ahead.
Social Security is a Ponzi scheme run by the government.
We all owe @Ford a huge thank you.
In 2023, they were granted a patent for playing ads on car infotainment systems.
But instead of using it, Ford claims they filed the patent to prevent anyone else from doing it.
And after a few years, it looks like they weren’t lying.
Because nobody wants to live in a world where you have to watch an ad—or pay for premium—just to start your fucking car.
