He can’t sleep in the empty bed because he is offered the empty bed by the hivemind (Indirectly, through Carol) and if he accepts the bed he accepts that they have a right to offer it to him, and he does not accept that they have that right.
Manousos is a man who just saw an invading force take everything from everyone and then offer it back to them as “Charity” and refuses to take that deal. He is the only survivor with any consistent principles beyond self gratification. It isn’t about refusing to harm the people who used to be, it’s about the blob not getting to dictate the terms, something he made abundantly clear when he directly told you that was what he was doing, before burning his car rather than have them transport it.
He will gladly threaten the blob, he will gladly harm the individual parts of the blob, because they are part of the alien invasion, but he won’t let them give him what used to be others because if he takes it he is tacitly accepting that the world is theirs to give. If he pays, if he does it his premises, then he is not accepting that this is their world. It is still the world of humans, and he will follow the rules of humans.
It isn’t super profound, like he just out says it.
I split the party.
Nooooo i had to leave the doggo behind to go homw after christmas. It is now woefully handless. His owner has already said he’s pacing around looking for me nooooo
Ok but this shouldn’t be in badposting. He’s the only cool character
Only two things in life are certain, death and taxes.
Tiny Tim: 
Tiny Tim did not die, and so witnessed the heat death of the universe and was around for the big bang countless millenia later.
Listening to a boomer telling a story about that time they told the person at the job interview they didn’t want the job then got the job anyway. Then they looked for another job and the first place they applied immediately said they had potential and hired them at a higher position.
That’s fair, he enjoys it more than I do.
The dog has made several attempts, but my hand stubbornly refuses to detach
The man smokes pipeweed and dislikes Pipin Toke
No see it’s the dogs basket, not mine. I don’t belong in the basket. My hand should though.
Dog has figured out it likes to soothe with my hand in its mouth. It also wants to hang out in its basket. It seeks to achieves this by dragging my hand to the basket. Just the hand though.
We’re not agreeing because you’re connecting unconnected threads here. The billion dollar he hasnt paid a dime of arent why he’s telling Candance Owens to shut up. He owed that money under Biden and he wasn’t pro Biden, he didn’t stop with the conspiracy talk then. Trump isnt using that billion dollar as leverage. Alex Jones is just a racist piece of shit who likes Trump and has liked Trump since he first said he was gonna build a wall.
No hes telling Candance to shut up because he’s fully in the tank for Trump and his orbiters and she’s not on board with one of their narratives. He’s only against the conspiracy theory because the target is MAGA media.
That sucks. It’s good that you found an alternative that works for you.
That is exactly how I know about them too
Is it? Maybe. It certainly fits in some ways. But the hivemind took the land, they took the stuff, they took everything, and they can’t undo that by giving him stuff that isn’t theirs, the hive mind has to give back people their autonomy, it has to cease to be an all consuming invading force, or it can never be right. In that way it has some tinges of anti colonialism.
But I think even if he’s just a libertarian spouting libertarian things, that is still a more admirable and interesting character than people who just want to fuck something that can’t consent.
