Re: American Cultural Decline
Almost died a dozen times on the drive for Thanksgiving travel today
primary sources:
20-somethings driving with earpods/headphones on and playing with their phones (2x)
Rednecks in pickup trucks or landscaping vehicles not using turn signals when aggressively changing lanes (2x)
Highway rest stop contained several different kinds of AIDS, Herpes, Ghonorrhea, and Ugly (10000x)
People walking dogs to poop at highway rest stop and not cleaning up the poop (5x)
People driving cars with visible damage and disrepair (100x)
Homes with home-made Trump signs in the front yard that are at least 4 yards wide by 4 yards long (2x)
Gigantic Gun store randomly on the side of the road with the sign "GUNS" overhead almost larger than the building itself (1x)
Is it sad when the highway rest top, recently renovated, physically looks nicer than the human/apes that are inside of it?
I would say 'kill me' except my wall of Arborvitae and Camellias protects me from this filth in BAU
but occasionally I venture out into the land-based world and how in the holy hell did it come to this so quickly?
It is here
It is not a movie
It is now
Kill yourselves
