  You can only lose so many stable boys before giving up on your riding griffins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a plot hole⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh…a lot of what we do is inefficient because that makes the most money for people who already have too much money.

  Nuclear was kneecapped by the fossil fuel industry. They’re still fighting against renewables.

  We’re going to destroy the planet so that the rich get richer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Believe it or not⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll never understand why people argue about subjective opinions. Pineapple gives pizza a sweetness to compliment the savory tomato. If you don’t like it, don’t put pineapple on your pizza and shut up about other people’s decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨relationship shirt⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you consider the number of hetero girls who aren’t interested in dating bi guys is probably larger than the number of guys who date guys, the pool is potentially doubled but effectively shrinks a bit.

  I was just thinking that incompetence on this scale is likely deliberate.

  Either some manager refused to pay for backups and they’re too highly placed to hold accountable, or they deliberately wanted to lose some data, but I refuse to believe anyone built this system without even considering off-site backups.

  You know what they say “When you hear hoofbeats, think of an ungodly castle/knight amalgamation.”

  They’re cracking it open and sucking out the marrow.Just like every other time private equity has “leverage buyout”-ed a company into the ground.

  They’ll pay themselves billions in executive compensation and then move on like locusts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real easy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why use many word when one word do trick?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PhDebaters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My esteemed colleague’s first 300 books are riveting, but at that point the argument falls apart. They fail to account for the Herman reversal: “I know you are, but what am I” (Herman et al,1985). Amusing, but hardly a work of serious scholarship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nostalgia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is PRECISELY why I’m a big fan of explaining jokes. Most of us wouldn’t have understood any of this context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ralph⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the only way I can feel like a man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explains everything if you think about it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a common misconception, but they actually used radar deterrent netting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sticker⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think furries piss their pants a lot? Because you saw one person on the internet say they saw one person do that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care about Kimmel. He’s a rich guy who will be fine in any case.

  The problem is the vast swaths of the country who have right wing billionaires deciding they aren’t allowed to watch someone criticize the dear leader.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some nice attention to continuity by the SNW team!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just really love how they tell everyone the Captain’s dinner is formal the first time they come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funniest Exhibit at the Smithsonian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a good number of real fossils you can touch.

  I expect these are more common and there’s not much more scientists can learn from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would he have a bad person on his hat? I don’t think a bad person could be a good president, but even if we allow that he still doesn’t have to buy merch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Witness me brøther⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “People with a victim complex”

  Gee…I can’t imagine why Jewish people might feel put upon. Thank God we have a Swede who really understands oppression who isn’t afraid to stand up for naming plants after racist caricatures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨political debate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  V for Vendetta masks tend to be libertarian iconography.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roll tide!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a big world, people’s customs vary, and I’m not one who expects everyone to follow my moral judgements, but “COUSINS ARRESTED AFTER REFUSING TO STOP HAVING SEX DURING FUNERAL CEREMONY” doesn’t throw up any red flags for you?

  Not trying to dunk, more wondering whether I’m missing dry humor or a language barrier.

  If we are ever invaded by monkeys with balloons, I am ready to serve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where??⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know where you’re searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Around 1/3 of the country voted for him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We can’t just say “General Strike” on the internet and expect anything to happen.

  This is why unions collect dues: so they can pay part of workers’ wages and people won’t lose their homes. We need to organize enough people in your workplace that your boss can’t just fire you and hire someone else.

  I am pro strike, but these pictures on the internet are just silly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t everyone cast Tarot to see if aoile or mustard is more auspicious today? If you want to use Bitchin’ Sauce while Mercury is in retrograde then that’s on you, buddy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have to be knowledgeable about a particular superstition in order to sign in to access a government form⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you have Google. I suspect most people know their star sign. (The Chinese Zodiac is something different.) I don’t believe in astrology, but it’s certainly common enough that it seems difficult to avoid learning at some point. If not, you can find out in 30 seconds.

  All it is is an abstraction to make it slightly harder for bad actors and computer programs, not an endorsement of astrology.

  20% is 20%. It won’t be dirt cheap for another year or two. If you’d prefer to wait until Christmas in hopes of saving $3, more power to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if this is helpful, but BG3 is on sale until tomorrow morning.

  I havent been able to play yet, so I’m incredibly excited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He must have been bullied terribly.

  The interesting thing about the furor over trans people existing is that 90% of any harm, real or imagined, stems from mistreatment of people. Conservatives treat trans people badly (supposedly) due to mental issues that are caused by the way conservatives treat trans people.

  If my calculations are correct, this car is smaller than a football field.
