Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.

When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.

Yes, that’s why I have no arguments against the “no jobs” part.

ve never been to a rural area of the country, have you?

I’ve lived in them almost exclusively.

Assuming you spend $10 on avocado toast every day, as well as $75 on eating out for every meal, $20 for Starbucks, and ALSO assuming you have $150 worth of monthly subscriptions:

It will take you 25 years to save one million dollars. That’s assuming you never get sick, never lose a job, never need to buy a car or have major repairs, or basically any kind of surprise expense or setback that could wipe out savings.

To be the richest person on earth, you would need to save that money every year for over 6 MILLION YEARS

If it’s boring, then so are you. There’s plenty to do in the country, just not much that involves “going to crowded places and spending ridiculous amounts of money on things that would be 20x cheaper at a regular store”

No argument on anything else though…

Also known as “3 of the 4 stages of employment”

You shouldn’t.

especially if you run it yourself. If you don’t have a loaded sawed off sitting near your server rack in case the machine spirit within grows too strong, you aren’t servering correctly.

republicunts torching ballot boxes

Media: lol funni fire nothing wrong here move along

one non-citizenry tries, unsuccessfully, to vote, and it’s caught immediately and prompts further investigations

Media: Here’s 147 people all telling you how the democrats are rigging the election, and 27 of their closest relatives get on the phone to say they heard from their cousins step-sisters aunt’s coworker’s college roommate that there’s TONS of fraud all over the place. Stay tuned. This is all we will be covering for the next week.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

I can almost hear the record scratch as he says “But we don’t do that…”

The opening scene of episode 1 hooked me.

And every reference for the next twenty minutes made sure I stayed.

Trump says a lot of stuff. It’s usually awful. But he’s not much of a do-er

This sure does read a lot like MAGAts saying “he doesn’t mean it like that” *when he has repeatedly demonstrated he means the thing he saidď

dine on the flesh of Christians

Hard pass.

Too much fat, I’m on a diet.

Yeah, not trying to poke holes, but I was hearing “less than 50 years left” when I was in school in the 2000s. I do remember seeing a post here and there about new oil reservoirs being discovered but never any follow up. So I suppose that could be stretching things out. But oil use certainly hasn’t decreased in the last 25 years.

You heard it right here, folks.

No discussion of any specific country or region, because this is apparently not a place to ask questions.

Use 150mb to put a low quality version of Firefly that I used to have on a Nokia phone around 2007/2008, and the rest will be my collection of ebooks.

I’ve got more than 1gb of books, but I can trim down the file size by stripping formatting and saving as plain text, and there’s a few series I could go without reading for a long time.
