  • In reality, it’s going to screw so much stuff up and do so many things you don’t want it to do, that you’re going end up spending a lot of time just correcting all the mistakes it makes.

    And when you’re not fighting to stop it from doing more things you don’t want it to do, you’re going spend your time worrying about what it will do next that you’re going have to fix.

    And unless you pay for the most expensive phone and the most expensive tier of service, they’ll probably dumb it down on purpose and your life is going be hard.


  • I really wish trigger discipline was a public service announcement. You know those commercials they used to put on the tv all the time about stop, drop, and roll for fire safety. I wish there was one for trigger discipline.

    If you practice trigger discipline, it takes care of most the other rules. In a high stress or excitable situation, if you go into fight or flight mode, the first thing you do is make a fist without even realizing it. You don’t want your finger to be hovering over the trigger when this happens.

    I wonder how many lives would be saved if this was repeated enough to be made common knowledge.


  • Okay. I’ve never heard of somebody only drinking one caffeine drink a day. I feel like if that’s all you’re drinking it’s such a low amount of caffeine you probably don’t even need to quit.

    Most people drink a lot of caffeine a day, and for some, every single drink they have has some caffeine in it. Those are the people that might need to cut back or quit or cut down to one caffeinated drink per day, which would be a good goal too.


  • I know this is a joke, but just wanted to let people know that you can wean yourself off caffeine slowly and have absolutely no headaches.

    Start by replacing one caffeine drink per day with one decaffeinated drink. Stay with that for a couple of days and then just keep increasing it to 2 then 3. Stay with that for a couple days and then get up to the point where you’ve replaced half of your caffeine with non caffeinated and stay with that for maybe a couple days or a week.

    You have to go really slow and then you just get to the point where you’re only having one caffeine drink a day. And you’ll never get a headache, but it takes like weeks, literally weeks to do it, but it’s worth it to have no headaches and really no lack of energy.


  • It sucks to be a widow or widower looking for support groups to help you cope with the death of your spouse, and the only available groups are at churches who then turn the group into a mini church sermon. These churches should not have tax free status when they won’t even offer the most basic help for communities without trying to convert vulnerable people to their cult.





  • Bill Hicks Recorded live at the Dominion Theatre, London, 1992:

    By the way, if anyone here’s in advertising or marketing… kill yourself. [audience approval] Thank you. Just a little thought… Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are [in advertising/marketing], do [kill yourself — laughter] … There’s no rationalisation for what you do and you’re Satan’s little helpers, OK? Kill yourself, seriously. You’re the ruiner of all things good, seriously… No, this is not a joke. You’re going: “there’s gonna to be a joke coming”. There’s no fucking joke coming. You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It’s the only way to save your soul. Kill yourself. [applause, laughter] … I know all the marketing people are going, “he’s doing a joke”… There’s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend. I don’t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations.

    I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing, he’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market, he’s very smart.” [laughter] Oh man, I’m not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags. “Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now, he’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research. Huge market. He’s doing a good thing.” Goddammit, I’m not doing that, you scumbags. Quit putting a goddamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet! “Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.” God, I’m just caught in a fucking web. “Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market. Look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…” God, how do you live like that? I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you? “What did you do tonight honey?” “Oh, we made ah, we made ah, arsenic ah, childhood food now, goodnight.” [lies down and snores] “Yeah, we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?” [snores] “Yeah, it’ll… you know the mums will love it.” [snores] [stands up] Sleep like fucking children, don’t you? This is your world isn’t it?
