I’m not sure I understand. They want the birth certificate, as in the piece of paper itself, to be granted personhood? And then they’re going to withdraw infinite money from the birth certificate’s account because it just already has money?
No no no, not infinite money! That would be ridiculous, oh my gosh!
No, they think that you’re born with 2 million magical dollars attached to your name, and birth certificates are basically the check transferring that money to the federal government. And that if you game this system properly, you can earn interest on that 2 million and use it however you want while getting to ignore the laws that hold everyone else down.
No, I’m not joking. That literally the whole thing.
Make sure you watch the corrected DVD order because Fox thought more action would be better and put the 2nd episode first, the first episode 11th and totally fucked any hope for a second season…
With American comics, it’s not even the shattered continuity, it’s that availability is a mess because some of the franchises are so ancient and collectible.
If I want to read through One Piece from the 1997 start, my library probably has/can inter-library loan all 105 volumes, or I can go to mainstream retailers and get any I’m missing without a huge fracas.
If I want to read Batman from the 1940 start, I’d better hope some of the rarer issues come up at auction in the near future AND that I can mortgage my house to afford them.
I’m amazed they never put out a DVD-ROM collection that’s “Everything Marvel/DC did prior to, say, 1990, as PDF scans” just so mere mortals have a chance to enjoy the experience of completionism.
I was surprised about that figure of 105 volumes for one piece, so I googled it and it was 109 (probably just what came out since you last heard about it). I was expecting that number to be like a thousand or something.
If you want a real trip, look into the philosophies of the creators of modern cereals, like Kellogg. Shit like Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts, and hell even Graham Crackers were invented as part of this weird moralistic pseudoscientific health crusade nonsense going around at the time. It’s pretty fucking weird.
I have literally one friend who would get this, and I try not to bombard him with memes, as I can tell it gets on his nerves sometimes, even when he thinks it’s funny.
This guy could use a cargo e-bike and live out his fantasy, he can put as many delusional signs he wants and doesn’t have to produce a license on request or pay any registrations or fees except sales tax.
Only downside is he doesn’t get to go faster than 20mph.
I knew a guy who had a bit of this brand of crazy and this is exactly what he did. Seemed to work out well for him, although he skipped putting delusional signs on it.
