Because it that case, you wouldn't be able to slash any more tires.

It's also not fun to be dead

Another interpretation, and an interesting catch-22, is that they are simultaneously the best and worst contenders for presidency. The act of wanting the presidency warrants at least some ulterior motive, but also requires at least learning how to run a country at the bare minimum. Without the latter, you just can't run a country.

Yes and no. On one (nihilistic) hand, you live to die. The other hand (the better one) is that you give your own meaning to live. Fill in the spaces between the living, dying, and suffering parts, to make them seem insufficient in comparison. Just like the time you spent with your cat.

Nothing makes either side any less true - it's all up to interpretation. For your mental health, though, it's better to follow the latter.

It could also be the fact that a lot of modern presidents aren't fit for presidency as much as they can mislead the people. In a perfect world, you could've voted for Nader and not regretted it, because you'd have known that the people that surrounded you weren't naive. Personally though, I feel like raeganomics was to blame for too many of America's problems.

An agenda for who? I'm very interested in who you think I am.

Yes. Albeit, I never mentioned anything about speech. It's a bit weird that they immediately jumped to that. I'm mostly mentioning the fact that his senior moments severely outweigh other presidents. I mean, come on. The guy is 81.

I just don't get how people are driven to pick the lesser of two evils when there's much better options out there.

He has a card for meeting with ambassadors which literally says, in short form, "sit down. Say hello. Answer questions. Leave".

He forgot how to stand on a bike. Hell, he forgets how to walk up stairs sometimes. Even walking on the ground, he sometimes ignores secret service instructions. He's 81. 81. And I'm getting flak for calling him out?

I can get people defending Greg abbot for being disabled, because that's not the point of his dilemma. This is different, because he is literally too old to be fit to serve.

Edit: I also never said anything about speech, where were you getting that from?

Fair enough, but raspberry pi (trading) Ltd is the one that's mostly in control.

Uh, no? It's the other way around?

Because that's the non-profit organization, not the for-profit business.
