            Pfft, who needs to build a hegemony when you can just maintain the status-quo and let the US fall to your level?

              To drop the shitpost a bit, every time I think of American politics I think about, I can’t remember his name but some racist internet personality decided he’d try meth to prove that addiction is a personal choice. Fast forward, dude obviously ended up getting his whole shit wrecked by meth addiction. Like obviously we have politicians that want to bring resource extraction home for dinner, but we have an entire populace convinced we’re just built different.

    If he’s bigger than me: Yeah probably. I get off my ass to rake the yard or build furniture, I don’t work out.

    If he’s richer than me: Yeah it’s almost certainly via white collar crime. I live below my means, I’m the son of an IT professional, I went to college on a grant and I taught flight school before I worked in a rapid prototyping lab. I’ve worn blue and white collars. I’ve written C++ and run a lathe for my pay.

    If he’s smarter than me: That’s easy to believe with my 3.3 GPA. I was an honor’s student looked down upon by the AP and IB kids.

    The man who looks better than me probably owns a mirror. I wear navy blue T-shirts and black gym shorts as a daily uniform because they’re easy to launder and I shave my neck because a neckbeard bothers me when I’m trying to sleep. Do you want your Lycoming overhauled or not, because I went to mechanic school and you didn’t. Thought so, that’ll be $30 grand.

    Anything than to have to fix my life.

    I don’t shower as I don’t want the females to think I am gay. I don’t read, study, or try so I am not a nerd. I work a deadend job to prove I am “self made”. I avoid the “roids”, the gym, and exercising, which saves me so much time.

      Saves me more time to spend in my mom’s basement eating Cheetos on Call of Duty verbally challenging your heterosexuality.

      But this is an actual fact… People who drive under the speed limit are bad drivers. Either they are not paying attention to speed signs, or they are scared to drive a car. Both are not great for a driver.

      Also slow cars are causing accidents because they frustrate people into doing stupid things.

      At least people who drive fast have confidence in their abilities to read traffic. But its also stupid if they drive way too fast and cant handle it. That also causes accidents.

      So I would say, a bit faster than the speed limit is perfect. Doesnt annoy anyone, still very safe. I often drive 10 km/h faster then speed limit.

        this kind of thinking literally kills people, you’re not doing good, you’re a reckless driver.

        The speed limit is the speed LIMIT, it’s not a fucking suggestion, and in most cases the speed limit is too high.

          Not where I live, but I think it depends. In madeira it was absolutely too high.

          Obviously the speed limit is not perfectly set in all places. If you have travelled and driven a car, you quickly realize this.

          People are absolutely not reckless drivers because they go 10 over the speed limit, as a general rule at least. But like I said, depends on the country a lot.
