      JoJo gives Ayn Rand a magic wand before they were invented so she can jill herself to Nirvana instead of writing bad philosophy. Hence why guys would let JoJo use the time machine.

      Other than Ayn Rand, I don’t know any of these people, btw, so this is wild speculation on my part.

        JoJo is JoJo Siwa, some kind of teen idol that’s going through a rogue arc.

        Ayn Rand was also ridiculously horny. A lot of drama in her relationships, she thought people should be in open relationships, but also got mad when her fuck buddies weren’t exclusive with her. Her novels also have a ton of “non con but she ends up liking it” scenes.

          I did not know that, either about JoJo, or Rand. I only read some of Rand’s philosophy, her personal life didn’t present much interest after it became clear where she was going with her ideas.

    Can I lease a time machine and a SPAS-12 to stop Malthusianism in its literal cradle? If that’s not enough, I’ll also stop Nazism in its literal cradle.

      “The term “Any Darn” is not a reference to a specific person. It’s a colloquial expression using “darn” as a euphemism for “damn” to express mild annoyance or frustration. “Darn” is a minced oath, a less offensive substitute for stronger expletives. It can be used as an adjective, adverb, or interjection to emphasize something or express displeasure. “?

      Google does not recognize anyone umder that name?

        Well, “Any Frustration” would certainly fit, in a way!

        From what I remember, Rand could not emotionally detach herself from her work, so everything I’ve read felt as a frustrated “fuck you all, I’ll get mine.” She had a rough upbringing, not gonna fault her for her traumas, but she seemed to thrive on hating everything which wasn’t “everyone for themselves,” to the point where she’d simply refuse to answer questions challenging that by frequently insulting the person who would ask.

        Edit: oh, and if I remember correctly, I think she lived off of food coupons/stamps and state aid for quite some time, while proselytising that they encouraged layabouts…

        Edit 2: now that I think about it, Jordan Peterson’s overall presentation and composure kinda’ reminds me of Rand. Except Rand didn’t have a lobster kink, afaik.
