Religious people, incels, manosphere influencers. It’s always the worst people with the dumbest opinions who are super obsessed with other men jerking off. (Aside from the general social rule of not doing it publicly as a sex pest)

Yeah, but they were all drawn in Paint. Kids these days don’t have the patience to watch an image load one line at a time.

Al Gores internet. It was a good time.

Never had that, but I remember actually surfing the web of links between pages in the time before search engines.

A good time. Humanity was near its peak.
- Comment on Congrats on your big win!!! 1 week ago:
Thank white conservatives. No, really. It was maybe twenty years ago we were first hearing about this because so many young white men in conservative areas were doing opioids that the local employers had to give up. Once enough conservative weed smokers were voting, that started to legalize and be commonly used. Drivers for the conservative drug turn includes the war on terror and the failures of the VA, and the war on affordable healthcare and social services. Before that, the war on drugs was on the record as being aimed at Mexicans, blacks, and liberals. Also teenagers, but I don’t recall any federal government politicians saying that one out loud.
- Comment on Happier to use spices on tofu, beans, soy curls, and even sometimes the dreaded processed plant-based mock-meats (when they go on sale). 1 week ago:
Have you heard of Demi Glacé? Chef John has a good cheater recipe if you’re interested in home make and less beef pricey.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 2 weeks ago:
I remember the realization that the terrorists won. Our political leaders gave us fear and security theater. We started two wars of waste that make more enemies than we killed. We handed out most reactionary politicians and institutions the Patriot Act and other licenses to abuse and subvert democracy. I tell conspiracy theorists that the government didn’t do 9/11, they just exploited the hell out of it.

Three brain cells? Two of them are vertically integrated genetically like having a Kuato tell you it’s two people in a trench coat and the third one belongs to the orange cat.
- Comment on Immigrants are not the problem. Greedy corporate oligarchs — and the politicians they own — are. 2 weeks ago:
Historically (and still today) ice/border patrol has been in cahoots with the farmers and businessmen to suppress/steal wages from immigrants.
Pulling lots of people from the local economy is going to depress said economy. So yes, ruthlessly yanking people will screw everyone. Especially the working class. - Comment on Evil Bisexuals 3 weeks ago:
The far right is at least as homosexually coded as a gay bar. Bunch of shirtless men chugging milk around a bonfire.
And yes, there were boys being held at the Epstein parties he was at. The only contention with calling that bi is that the predations of a pedophile are not always analogous to adult sexuality. Stuffing Billie’s Willy in his cheek pouch on the other hand…

The good news is that it will be fairly easy to remove a cylinder from that tube if it gets stuck.

Swap that clasp for Velcro with the hook facing in.

People don’t want to fight pedos war in Petey’s army so they expanded to recruit pool.
Training will have to be different. I am already to fed up with crap to have a drill instructor yell at me. They can give instructions and support, but I’m not getting “instilled” with anything. Or maybe not. We see MAGA incel man cult guys paying thousands to get tormented at knock off BUDs training camps.
- Comment on Dana White isn’t a fan of college athletes getting paid: “It’s a problem. Money ruins everything” 3 weeks ago:
I’m worried about the damage sudden wealth gains have to young brains. Also how the cash drain will affect the other parts of the college, from academic research to the janitors getting cost of living rises.
- Comment on Dana White isn’t a fan of college athletes getting paid: “It’s a problem. Money ruins everything” 3 weeks ago:
As much as I don’t care about sports, I am ok with college sports. Ideally we would have a strong social program for higher education, and even if we do get that, college sports that net profits help pay for the rest of the college. Programs that don’t make money are where many Olympic athletes come from. As long as people don’t loose themselves to it, it’s a way to get money moving. That said, I really want to see pay caps everywhere. What we don’t want to see is money getting thrown at coaches and players to the detriment of other parts of the college.

Disrupt their established power networks and put the fear of gods in the survivors would go a long way.

It’s everywhere. Talking to a hvac guy at a local university. In thirty years his hourly has gone up $7. The Chancellor’s compensation has gone from just over a quarter to just over a million dollars.

The Epstein class brings all the milkshakes to the yard, And they’re like “boo, hoo, my pride”
- Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now 4 weeks ago:
Straight half? No. A select 3% a year for five years? Maybe. If you’ve seen any of the realistic critiques of the Thanos snap you know that doesn’t go well. Trimming down the fascists, oligarchs, nationalist, theocrats, tech barons, and similar greed and hate mongers should be enough without crashing everything.
- Comment on This isn't fair 4 weeks ago:
An hour of labor definitely went up in price, it just doesn’t show on the paycheck side. Unless you look at the withholdings, some of it’s there.
I realized a while ago that I can’t afford to hire myself.
- Comment on Solar panels for surveillance but none for affordable power 4 weeks ago:
Looks like they are 45watt panels. Pull the out of the frame and put them in your own setup and they will look like any other. There is enough variety in panels that nobody can make a guess from looking at them. Especially without being invasive enough to need a warrant.
- Comment on Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me 4 weeks ago:
Also using good drivers that still have sharp edges.
Still prefer torx for anything more than drywall or door hardware.
- Comment on "No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor. 4 weeks ago:
All the big media companies seem to be owned by republican money men. Not having a president for something doesn’t mean anything. It’s one of the lamest arguments for protecting the people that are sitting on lazy money/power.
- Comment on They call me the problem solver 4 weeks ago:
I have a ten minute window where it doesn’t matter when I leave the house, I get to work at the same time. If I leave before that I get to work fifteen minutes early and I’m not getting paid for that.
- Comment on Whew, I better take a break 4 weeks ago:
Call the local dojos. Ask if anyone wants to be in an action film. They need to look Asian and stand about the same height as Steven Seagull sitting down. We’ll pay them in exposure.
