He’s gonna do something stupid. I’m surprised they haven’t already. The Epstein Files need distracting from. They tried troop deployments on US soil. Bombing in the middle east. Nothing dramatic on the Supreme Court docket.

If there isn’t a natural disaster right now they’re gonna pull some shit. Any guesses?

I definitely see myself understanding the world more, and that obviously will come with experience. However, with that also comes wisdom, and specifically the wisdom to look back and see that some adults were fucking fucktards.

I was a better person than them then, and am certainly a better person now.

Enjoy hell, Mr. K.

Yeah, he’s not getting made fun of for his shoes. They’re just a convenient target of ridicule. Son is about to learn a life lesson.

I’m sorry. People are shit.

No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.

Only if I’m standing across the room and my brain calculates that the time it takes to close the distance is within the time remaining on the countdown and I get to do a badass flip, twirl, and slide to stop it just in the nick of time so I get to pretend I have super hero level reflexes.

I cannot do badass flips but the point still stands. I can twirl and slide though, as long as I’m wearing socks.

Nominating for best of out-of-context comments.

I’m imagining these stooge’s first day on the job being like the 9/11 terrorists taking flying lessons.

“Don’t worry too much about the details, we don’t need to know how to land.”

Great recommendation and knife user therapy in one post. Thanks!

Be careful… If you get in an accident I guaran-god-damn-tee you they will use it as an excuse not to pay out. Maybe after a lawsuit you’d see some money but at that point half of it goes to the lawyer and you’re still screwed.

The idea that our government is a representative democracy is a farce. The machine has too much inertia, too much power and money

Seconded. But… Sometimes the only place I can find the answer to an obscure issue I’m having is a comment on a nine year old reddit post six responses deep.

I do find it with Kagi, but I still feel dirty every time.

If they’re lying about the casualty rate then even rational people aren’t given the facts to make intelligent decisions.

I’d bet if they were told the truth no amount of incentive would get them to sign up.

My Pre and Kyocera 6035. Never forget.

I was trying to wax philosophical about what form of government is next. But, you’re right. There’s something that comes first.

The Great Experiment is over. We had a good run. Time to start thinking about what comes next.

People not getting things that seem obvious is an ongoing theme, it seems. We sat through a presentation at work by some guy who enthusiastically pitched AI to the masses. I don’t mean that’s what he did, I mean “enthusiasm” seemed to be his ONLY qualification. Aside from telling folks what buttons to press on the company’s AI app, he didn’t know SHIT. And the VP got on before and after and it was apparent that he didn’t know shit, either. Someone is whispering in these people’s ears and they’re writing fat checks, no doubt, and they haven’t a clue what an LLM is, what it is good at, nor what to be wary of. Absolutely ridiculous.

Never relax… The universe can sense when you’re content and will balance itself.

What’s that sound? Is it supposed to make it? Did it make it before? Is that wet? Why is it wet? That bug is new, haven’t seen one like that. Electric bill is higher this month. Got the escrow statement; it went up again. That crack… Seems longer. Door squeaks again. Was the drain recessed like that? Are you sure? That’s loose, should probably do something about it. Gotta run to the hardware store. They’re backordered on that thing that melted in the fire. The AC is dripping again. Is the water pressure lower than usual? What’s that smell? Is it coming from under there? Why is the milk spoiled? Is the fridge warm to you? Grass is long again. Sprinkler got run over by a neighbor. We need to do something about the dead tree.

Literally things said at my house IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Holy shit why.

The idea that moving your finger slightly to support the smoothe functioning of traffic and the welfare of other humans is not “masculine” enough makes me want to castrate some fuckers.
