I mean, fundamentally, a vote for AfD is a vote to not genocide yourself if you are German. You have infinite 3rd world migrants, social dysfunction and degrowth policies on one hand... and human flourishing on the other. And the problem with being a suicide cult, is there will always be fewer and fewer members as time goes on, where as if you believe in growth and human flourishing, you will have more and more members over time. Assuming the suicide cult doesn't steal and brainwash your children into degrowth, and/or hand the country over to the 3rd world in a spiteful effort to deny the co-ethnics that refused to join their suicide cult a future.

You know, I think people really undersell how much stepping on a dirty rusty nail sticking out of a board in the woods sucks.
First there is the moment of panic after the first moments of pain. You just pray what you felt was "pressure" as Dentist might say, and that the skin isn't broken. You rip off your shoe and sock and your heart sinks into your colon when you see blood. Actually kind of a lot of blood.
So off to the ER for a tetatnus booster and antibiotics to fight the infection you are 100% going to get. ER doesn't want to at first because some illegal probably used your social and the system thinks you got like 8 different shots, including a tetanus booster back in April. They acquiesce, but it's fucking weird. Waste a whole ass Sunday you had to catch up on the honey-do list that grows and embitters faster than you can keep up.
You don't sleep at all because the infection is setting in and throbbing all night long. Monday afternoon all your toes are swollen and red. You are two doses into your antibiotic course. Apparently you give it 48 to 72 hours to see how it goes.
And that's the story so far. Really do not recommend it.

That reminds me of when I was reading Alice in Wonderland to my daughter. When I got to the end, and Alice woke up and it was all a dream, it blew her damned mind right out of her skull and through the milky way. She'd never encountered a since "and it was all dream" story before, so I'm glad Alice in Wonderland got to be her first. She talked about that "twist" for days on end.
That said, unlike almost every other book I've read to her, she never asked for it again. I think something about none of it being "real" took the stakes out of the story and ruined it for her.
That said I've opined for ages that there is nothing truly challenging in kid's movies anymore. Something that will give them some well deserved nightmares to work through. Like pink elephants on parade, or children being turned into donkeys, or Willy Wonka's magic tunnel through HELL, or the first 10 minutes of Transformers: The Movie where they kill literally every character you got attached to over about 100 syndicated episodes you'd watched in repeat since before you were making memories.
Man I'm dating myself with these references.

I mean, I'm pretty sure a lot of Tom & Don's filler videos have their scripts heavily written by AI. But they also frequently go off script laughing at how retarded the script is, so I can't exactly hold it against them. The script just serves as the launch point for them to start clowning on whatever the script is talking about.
Also, Space King 5 at the end of the month, praise be.
They threaten to withold severance or something? Jokes on them I guess, you'll pretend to train your indian replacement and he'll pretend to work.
Grats on having fun. I can't wait till im paeudo retired and have time for personal projects again.
