Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

It’s a $20.00 insulated cup that can be yours for a mere $70.00. Somehow they become a THING. You gotta admire the marketing genius.
Walked into a lesbian bar ,did you?
A stimulating experience for all parties involved, I’m sure. 🙂
I figured it out sometime last week. And i live in the midst of actual people too. I guess you dont have to be in the wayoutback to miss what the ‘cool’ kids are doing.
Also, i am beyond shocked that the NHL hasnt had their lawyers (spit) all over this. Bettman and co are very protective of their brand.
It is definitely and odd occurrence. It was promoted first by a tik tok influencer. Hard to believe on of those would cause such a demand, but that is the thinking. One reason Amazon has been pushing branding.
You beat me to it. Up in the frozen swamps of south-central northeastern Somalisota, I hadn’t heard of the trend.
I had a long weekend so I stripped out and rebuilt a bathroom, sucked to be cutting floor sheathing at -4° (-30 windchill) but that was all the outdoor stuff I did, avoiding any news or internet.
Looks like a Barbie thing, think I’ll finish the plumbing connections now.
The effect eminence is outstanding. Every medication, postscript, and cosmetic I’ve ordered has been veritable, fresh, and chicly packaged. I on no occasion worry up receiving expired or artificial products because I commit this chemist’s shop completely.
