I didn't take it too seriously, and I found it to be a lot less sexist than some of the concern-trolling crap out there these days. (Nick Kristof comes to mind. I find him and David Brooks to be a lot more offensive than Manson.)

What a shit piece! To take up that much print space to couch his big brag about his giving everything away to move to South America, as if we gave a fuck what he did. Big fucking deal. <br /><br />I actually didn't read much of it. He droned on too long and it was an obvious fucking waste of my time. It sounded to me like he was justifying selfishness - typical fucking garbage. <br /><br />He should lay off overusing that juicy word. He could ruin a good thing!annenigmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-43318014811419933192015-01-30T10:08:17.826-05:002015-01-30T10:08:17.826-05:00Here's where I play the part of the humorless ...Here's where I play the part of the humorless woman. I did not appreciate Mark Manson. Perhaps the old lady who gives a fuck about her coupons wants to save money. Perhaps the root of her misery has nothing to do with the fact that she is not sexually attractive to people such as Mark Manson. <br />Sorry, I just found it sexist.

Meh.
Lame Duck doesn’t give a fuck.
Lame...Drones? Meh.<br /><br />Lame Duck doesn’t give a fuck.<br /><br />Lame Duck has the luxury to just not give a fuck. <br /><br />Kittens and bombs... “The subtle art of not giving a fuck, “ <br /><br />http://markmanson.net/not-giving-a-fuck?curator=MediaREDEF<br /><br />“… the ability to reserve our fucks for only the most fuckworthy of situations would surely make life a hell of a lot easier. Failure would be less terrifying. Rejection less painful. Unpleasant necessities more pleasant and the unsavory shit sandwiches a little bit more savory. I mean, if we could only give a few less fucks, or a few more consciously-directed fucks, then life would feel pretty fucking easy.” – Mark MasonDenis Nevillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-48260371114512508852015-01-29T15:37:53.472-05:002015-01-29T15:37:53.472-05:00Oh, like the Secret Service couldn't hear that...Oh, like the Secret Service couldn't hear that loud annoying whining of the drone? There couldn't have been noisy traffic nearby since they've blocked off the streets around the White House. They sound like a giant mosquito buzzing in your ear. They're hard to ignore, but I guess the SS could if they were distracted by the electrons in their ears. <br /><br />If the only reason this was even discovered is because the drone crashed and the guy called to ask if they found it, isn't it reasonable to assume that more competent and sober people could have flown drones in during all these years they've been around? I can't believe that no one else has already done it. Now we all know just how incredibly easy it is!<br /><br />The professional versions of drones come in all sizes, even as small as a butterflies or less (I haven't kept up). The Defense industry developed the technology, so they are fully aware of the potential risks, but now they're playing dumb with us about the impacts at home?<br /><br />This recent incident is just hard to swallow. Our government, obsessed with 'national security' and 'terrorism' (corporate welfare for the MIC) seems to be oblivious to risks. Could they have believed that no one would try it because drones are illegal in DC? So are guns! Obviously, making something illegal doesn't mean squat, even, or I should say especially, to government employees. Good thing the guy was a White employee or he'd be locked up and tortured, I mean interrogated, by now. <br /><br />No matter the laws, rules, and regulations they come up with for drones, how do they think they're going to police them? With an army of drone sky marshals? They're too small to read any identifying marks from the ground. Even if they required scannable bar codes, who's going to scan them and have access to the database? Police can't be everywhere. That's what makes drones so useful and valuable. They can go where people can't! <br /> <br />This is a huge problem that flies in the face of Capitalism, pitting it against National Security, private security, privacy, the Second Amendment (drone skeet shoot). It will be very interesting to see how this develops. Will the right to bear laser weapons come into play? Stay tuned.annenigmanoreply@blogger.com
