This is how progress occurs:  Through acts of massive incompetence.

By this logic, Trump should be the best thing that ever happened to America. His intentions are evil and he never does anything right. He *should* be fucking up his fascist agenda so bad that he accidentally erases student loan debt and creates a single payer health system.

If we get a canny leftist as president he paved the way for that by taking military money away to build his wall.  The supreme court ruled it was ok to spend military money on an emergency.  Our next president could declare student loan debt and folks being uninsured as emergencies.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Cram, you missed so much: here's the best two highlights.

As of last week, sports is outlawed by the European Union, and porn is the new international pastime publicly, not just privately. Unfortunate implications from this change led to the declaration of France as a mistake in the timeline, now rectified. Old France is expected to complete its fly-by of Neptune in May, and New France is a pit of horror that is currently having the world's biggest tarp draped over it so we don't have to see it while the paradox works itself out.

Also, Eris returned from wherever she was with a filthy litter box and broke into your apartment with it. She then dumped it all over your stovetop, turned your microwave upside down, and mixed your ketchup and maple syrup bottles into your household cleaning supplies. No explanation was provided.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

This is weirdly plausible.
