Same!

JJ PopNFresh He always drank that much. Every single day of his life. It was normal. He's probably drunk as fuck but felt sober

They forgot to mention that he did a massive grip of blow everyday

It was a different time people didn't give a shit lol

He's driving right down the middle of the road at the end.

Is he trying to act like jim layhey?

Amerikkka-toil for little gain??EGO-WE WORK HARD-SO FUCK..G WHAT-EGO-GET A LIFE

As your attorney i advise you.

I went hunter for 2 years after my divorce. Its liberating after being under the thumb

@@iAmIronMan0605 Did you just drink booze or did you get everything from booze to ether?

@@johnb.8687 I drank as much as I could with my anti depressants and fucked as many women as I could

Me too. Jail stopped me.

agreed

I bought the ticket a long time ago. Never thought things could get THIS weird though.

@RakeRocter I noticed the critique of the self-consciousness; someone else was commenting on that somewhere in the comments. I once had a psychologist imply to me that humans could be too self-conscious, and that people too self-conscious were immature because they didn't "lose themselves back into the moment" or something like that. This is a thought "koan" that I have contemplated for years, but almost never see a good thread to comment about it. I can see what that psychologist was saying--one can spend all his energy looking in rather than out. What bothers me is I could never see that the "maturity" beyond self-consciousness was progression rather than regression. Many humans get a strong bout of self-consciousness in adolescence. In modern times in the first world, many adults do not need to work physically hard, and many do not have children and families, so they don't need to spend much energy paying close attention in real time. Should they really be getting "lost in maturity," or is the self-conscious state actually a higher mental state? I honestly don't know, it's one of the biggest contemplation questions in my mind. Postmodern America doesn't hold much regard for the self-conscious, but without them you don't get as much individuation and gravity around "persona," either. I always think of literary publishing. Where are the "big names" publishing treatises, either through fiction or nonfiction, on the great sociopolitical debates of the 21st century? Where is the Jonathan Swift or Mark Twain or Hunter Thompson of 2020? I wonder if they went out with the rejection of self-consciousness?

​@RakeRocter Thank you for the thoughtful replies. I am taking some time to think about it all (more invigorating than the average youtube comment thread). I guess I ask myself if the mature mind is more like the pre-linguistic natural self. There seems to be a developmental stage where a person must "get past the labels," and see that the linguistic labeling is prone to subjective interpretation. To me, it always seemed like immature people do not discern between other human individuals and the "universe." A label from one person still gets "universal weight" in the immature person's mind. Perhaps I cannot compare maturity to any primal conscious condition, as it is always a consequence of linguistics. But yes, with HST--I assume he would have been pretty narcissistic, to be unable to break away from the feedback loop and remain stunted for so many decades (not to mention the perennial substance abuse). Apparently he could not or was not willing to reach the next avenue or channel to continue his writing beyond the verbatim of his character. The dearth of contemporary "American literature" really bothers me. Not only is the structural morality of the "spirit of America" lacking right now, but I've been told my whole life that any work toward that structure is "self-indulgent" or "disgusting," by the hive mind of postmodern reductionism. It's like an empire of mommas and mommas' boys and their big boss sisters (what HST with a clear head could have been writing about back in 1992). Perhaps many Americans (including myself) have yet to move beyond a feedback loop resounded by an effeminate monolith (the hive mind).

​@RakeRocter Well, it's now June 6, and while I was taking some time to think about it all, the society made a sharp turn through the George Floyd movement. I ask myself--what comes next for the legions of Americans who are now just beginning to "find themselves"? This is the first time in many an American's life where they looked beyond the shadows thrown out by the authoritarian state. They may just see, for once, the mice in front of the projecting light. So, people do that, get some preliminary empowerment--but then they must face the reality being discussed in this thread. The galactic victory parade ends, and it's June of 2022 or 2023 (or sooner owing to data-time compression of our current technology platform). The crickets are just coming out, the socially unified barbecue is happening--and the "internal" world is quiet again, and people start to think about the meaning of human life. Dynamism is forming, collective synthesis, a greater sense of fairness--but wait, doesn't cultural memory tell me that we were already here in Spring of '46 or July of '76? Didn't we already do this, and I'm just "je me souvien-ing"? (citing the motto of Quebec). My parents said the world was all a meaningless wash after 1980, and I believed them. Is the cultural memory correct, and my parents wrong, and we're supposed to pick up where we left off at '76? Were my parents right, and it's all just a "self-indulgent mess" as the first-year psychology students love to tell me? The crickets are churping louder, I'm on my fifth beer, and everybody's starting to stare off into space like it's 2014 again. What does it all mean? (cue the rotating image effect). And where do they go? Do individuals start to want to "get confirmed" and find the age of reason, and "go neomodern" as a way away from the hive mind? Do they play out esoteric adventures, when their grandparents' generation already did that trip 55 years before in many cases (and went home and did postmodernism afterward)? How does a young society find structure in a nation coming out of such a strong reductionism?

@@worldtocomeWow,I'm 26 some new age freaks would probably call me a old soul,because even though I wasn't there,and still don't have a clear picture of what might have happened in say the 60's or 70's or even parts iof the 80's why not,I can't help but to think"we're all living in a constant feedback loop'' time passes and things become different,but people,they continually get caught in the same quarrels. Yet we never learn to look at the puppet master,we never look at the big picture,I have,the reality of learning that freedom is a lie you ironically become more free,well,I think that half the time,the other days I wonder how different it be if I were ignorant still,it's too late now for me though. I'm at a place where things like all the hubba over (the sacrifice With a order out of chaos tatoo) Floyd I see are just a pointless sherade that will get us no where. In fact it did,now I see a small group of people meet in my town every few days with signs of another race,doing what the system probably wants,not spending time empowering and improving themselves and wasting time getting no results... maybe the biggest joke about the quote those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it,is that we're doomed to repeat it no matter what,even a history buff.

he already did its that popular one

@@cloudsombrero is it still out there? I don't see it?

I thought the same

His body image shows he did some blow before the cameras were rolling.

Lol i know right! no way anyone drinks like that and remains concious without cocaine. Try it. Do some coke or LSD and drink a gallon of whiskey and you wont feel a drop. Its true!!

@Dog Is Not Amused yea that was my point. I agree

Ну надо же😮

Yes, even to Americans he needs to be subtitled sometimes 😆 Brilliant man, chronic mumbler.

Yes

I think it's napkin.

Looks like Chivas regal

*coke

probably a blank but you never know the way the camera jerks worries me seems like he didn't expect it. i don't think hunter was the kind of guy to buy blanks.

he shot into the air. Gun was perpendicular to the car so the casing ejected out towards the photographer.

The camera stood on a tripod and he just shot above it

Councilman Les Wynan I doubt its a double action revolver. Meaning there’s no way for him to fire a second shot without cocking the hammer back and therefore no immediate threat to the camera guy

march11stoneytony correct. You know your HST facts well.

He shot himself seventeen years later

Simon Gao o

march11stoneytony has come

i thought he said at 65 he wished he died. not at 50

That's nothing. In a day he'd snort coke, drink several glasses of Chivas whiskey, drink Chartreuse liquor, have a few bottles of Heineken, drink some gin,Margaritas, smoke pot, and take Halcion so he could sleep.

Yeah that was my intention I meant it was nothing for him. I wouldn't be able to walk if I remained conscious at all.

Why is that? He is a doctor, after all.

He seems to drive fine though that's part of what is so scary, all the substance abuse has little effect on his coordination. I do wonder why his complex is called "owl farm" though when it's full of peacocks. He's a conundrum.

Well uhhh, no shit.

Or read his books like "Better Than Sex."

Hopefully just one bullet in that gun

I hope he went to the other side of the edge......Rip Hunter

Darrin Tippens where the Buffalo Roam was way b4 that. Get it together w your Hunter info...

I don’t want to be responsible for u going insane with or without anger. You’re reading too much into the title of what was a different kind of series on a news program. The title was an implied double meaning, flying the coupe meaning stories about people out of the mainstream, marching to the beat of a different drummer, or people who had flown the safety of the coop. And of course the coupe referred to the car as a means of finding these people. Technically my car was not a coupe be classic definition but Cadillac introduced a model in the 40’s called the Coupe de Ville and the public kept referring to later convertible versions of the DeVille as the Coupe de Ville. So I took two once popular phrases with the public, flying the coop and the Coupe de Ville and made a series title with a double meaning.

Haligonia u dork!!!

Thompson was never homeless you idiot

Splooge

@@madpatriot7464 Delusional as well. Feels sad bro.

Well then wait another 10 years and a whole generation of idiots will be around to make up baseless conspiracies that wont be provable but will insist on them being true

Sub Samadhi go talk to someone that cares about anything you have to say. Just keep being a good little sheep and piss off.

Neuronaut Alpha-1 you say sheep, I say sane. You say boring, I say real.

@@madpatriot7464 ah yes the sheep argument. However that doesnt really hold up when the subject at hand doesnt yet have any solid conspiracy theories for idiots like you to accuse people like me of being some sort of conformist because you havent pulled a paranoid obtuse idea out of your ass yet to explain how he died

I'm pretty sure he said he would when he got too old to live his lifestyle.

Seatbelt laws are a new thing. Except for children I think. Nowadays everybody is a bunch of pussys. So you can get a fine for not wearing it

he was being sarcastic

You’re dense. I bet you’re life is exhilarating

Haligonia .... u truely need to get your info right.... its way off....

Robert Therob cool

Whatever floats your boat
