46 and 2 is just ahead of me

Quote of the Day:

There is a definite move away from capitalism, whether we conceive of it as conscious or unconscious. Capitalism finds herself like a losing football team in the last quarter trying all types of tactics to survive.

  1. Ram commercial: Yeah, they fucked that up. It’s what happens when white people think “See we can be supportive.” The worst one was the T-Mobile commercial though. Just a little too SJW and clearly using the movement for their own promotion. The problem isn’t the message or your beliefs, it’s that fact you used them as a marketing push for a materialistic product. Equal rights and pay – brilliant idea and very good. Using it to sell mediocre phone service and cell phones – no.

    1. And let me be clear, yes it’s okay to be supportive of a movement. But it’s really easy to tell when certain marketing companies do not do research. Also to be clear – I am not trying to be racist, I’m very white. Too many commercials wanted to be on the soap box this year. Just stop and sell me a truck or beer. I don’t care what you do or don’t believe. You can’t speak for everyone who uses your product or works in your company anyway.

  2. Alchemy: “Phlegm of acidified urine.” More than one alchemical recipe calls for human pee. Principe said an old Arabic text used the phrase “the secret is within you,” probably meaning: Well, reader, you go figure it out.

    “But some people took that more literally,” Principe said, “so they ended up using vast amounts of urine.” Urine was cheap and surprisingly useful.”

    Wait…..you had to pay for piss?!
