Had I not been there to help that 12-year-old with the ice-cube tray, she added, the kid surely would have "whipped out his iPhone and clicked on his ice cube app to get a little video animated by a 6-year-old that explained how you get ice cubes out of a tray."
I actually got a bit of a chuckle out of that one but realistically, it's not fucking funny at all. If people get much stupider it might be a bit troublesome. And the omnipotent government can't save you either. Probably half of them are umfamialar with the operation and care of an ice cube tray. While I have confidence enough to believe that some of our public "servants" can and do know how to get the icecubes out, I doubt any are familiar with the concept of refilling the device with water to assure future access to icecubes.
But us commoners, we the unentitled must respond. So when you get a new cellphone (tomorrow is Monday fo God's sake, that old thing is obsolete ! ) make sure to get the complete help package. Think of it as Mommy with eight megs of ram. It is your best friend. I remember the last time in jail. You could see them walking around aimlessly. I approached one to find out just what condition his condition was in. That is when I realized that jail, all the torture and punishment, it all means nothing. The REAL punishment is not having your cellphone. "I wanted to call my dood but his number is on my cell and the screws won't let me go look it up ". Don't even use the word twitter in the same room with me.
But don't mind my snarkiness, it's in my blood. To this day Ma can't figure out why there are school zones around high schools. Elementary OK, preschool OK, but a high school ? In her most tactful way she puts it something like "Bullshit, they're old enough to drive, to get high, to fuck, and they got life all figured out of course, and we have to worry that they're going to forget how to cross the fuckin street ? ". I think she has a point.
But what you have to understand is that it's all part of the modus operandi of controlling the people. Kids used to know how to do things. Many years ago, if your kid ran away at 16 you might not see him for three or four years. He could find a stick, some old fishook somewhere, and live off the land. By the time you see him he's taken a Wife, has two kids and you are a Grandparent. Now they come back in five minutes, to make sure your old ass is going to pay their cell/camera/data/music/ everything phone bill.
Even mailorder mapfolding courses are all but gone. Who would look at a map when you can get a GPS for $4.95 ? I hear they had to tweak the software in those things, like when it says to turn left, they had to add some lines of code to include "Look for a street, figure out who has the right of way, when it is safe and you have ACD to make the turn then proceed " Otherwise people just turn immediately into the front of a building or something.
Actually the fact of the matter is this (as gleaned by me). We have seemingly given up on evolution, and now are just thinking of procreation. Girls, look at the cock shots in photos that people bitch about from time to time. You might think they are crass, and the guy is an ass, and you would probably be right. But what you don't realize is that the guy is just trying to show you his brain, that is, how smart he is.
But as stupid as people can be, they still do have one piece of knowledge, and that is to seek the least common denominator. Simple process really, just find the right person. With a cock like that what #11 first class model wouldn't abandon her home and family, and the lucrative business she has built in the last 16 years just to get a taste of that oh so delicious looking cock ? How could she possibly refuse ? Come on now you know everyone is the same. Nobody can understand what you can't understand, we are all the same remember ? If anyone deviates from the norm, they have pills for that.
How many here have known a person who was born on a table at a speakeasy ? I have. there was no machine that went BEEP. Of course the guy couldn't have existed but he sure fooled me. Getting a baby born is a huge undertaking. Not only do you need the machine that goes beep, you need three neurosurgeons, five specialists and at least three consultants watching the delivery via skype to get it right. That's right, the world began yesterday because there was no way to get all this necessary equipment to the speakeasy. (note that last I checked the US was in the bottom ten of "civilised" countries in infant mortality) Therefore there is no intelligent life on this planet.
Next month I might actually have to pound a nail into a piece of wood. Could someone donate a little cash to pay my cellphone bill so I can do it ?
