I used to work in a pizza place, and the head cook was from Mexico working on his citizenship. He helped me with my Spanish, and I'd help him with his English. One day, we discovered that jokes was a good way to discover any loss in translations, so jokes became our preferred method of conversation.

One day he said he's got a great joke, but he's not sure if it'll work in English, so he's asks to tell me if it works. I tell him to hit me. The joke:

A guy and his girlfriend have been together long enough to move in with each other. Being a new(ish) couple, they're still pretty frisky. Every time they're finished and basking in the after glow, she plays with his junk, just gently kneading the balls in their sack. After a few months, he asks her why does she always play with his balls afterwards. She looks him dead in the eye with a Mona Lisa smile, gently kisses his lips and whispers in his ear "because i miss mine."

He asked if the joke works in English. When i quit laughing, i said it does. That was 2006, and it's still one of my favorite jokes to this day.

Translation: "we didn't think this predatory behavior would affect our bottom line, and we deeply regret that it has."

"Best we can do is this easily hackable plastic junk that resembles a marital aid and hides the door handles when on fire. Oh, and you'll need to buy a lifetime subscription, submit a hair and blood sample, and headshots of your first born... for science."

The point you're talking about was 2016.

Last time, Trump stumbled and fell into the Whitehouse. They weren't prepared to fuck shit up like they wanted. That's not the case this time around. Trump was just a Trojan horse to get the fascists in office. My prediction is Trump is getting 25th amendment treatment before the first year is out, and we'll have a Vance administration that's beholden to the Thiels of the world.

Really hope I'm wrong.

I think it would need to collapse in such a way as to affect more people if there was a chance it would be replaced

Reading the tea leaves on this incoming administration, I'd wager that's a rather large possibility...

I'm down. This was always more my style. Less pageantry.
