“We need term limits” lol. Term limits mean politicians need to line their pockets even faster. Fucking Rome was famous for this shit.

Why do bars have parking lots?

They’re still a thing everywhere in Louisiana. They put a piece of scotch tape over the lid which of course is just a completely unsolvable puzzle until you get home with it.

If I had to work for Zuck I’d be fucking thrilled to be on the buddy yacht instead of the main ship.

“Flaming death cheese sandwich”
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 weeks ago:
Ironically, my grilled cheese method is to build the sandwich open-faced, place it under the broiler to melt and brown the cheese, then fold it up and cook both sides in a pan. This allows me to fuck it up three different times instead of just once.

They do restrict airflow, so if you suck the same way on an unfiltered cig it’ll fuck you up.
- Comment on I will kill you 3 weeks ago:
Ironically, Marlboro started out as a brand targeted at women (which was true of all the original filtered cigarettes). It was only later rebranded for macho men.
Lot of fun facts about filtered cigarettes, like the fact that they don’t filter shit and are actually just filled with chemicals that turn them brown when exposed to smoke so that people think they’re doing something. Also fun: the earliest filters contained asbestos.

Ron Funches’ routine was great. “You don’t believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?”

I was also on Accutane in high school. The worst was after swimming in a pool – the chlorine made my face and lips literally crack. Never tried to kill anybody, at least.

the fucking thing’s lane assist will actively and agressive fight me if I try to switch lanes without putting on my signal lights
That sounds like fun when you’re trying to avoid a collision.
- Comment on Unappreciated in my own lifetime 5 weeks ago:
FWIW I used to hang out with behavioral psychology grad students, who were in the Skinnerian tradition of operant conditioning research. They mostly worked with pigeons and to transport the birds they used juice pitchers with a few air holes cut into the bottom. I asked them once how they got the birds into the pitchers and they laughed and showed me: they would just open the bird’s cage and hold the pitcher up and the birds would dive head-first into the pitcher, sometimes knocking themselves out in the process.
As part of the research protocol, the birds were kept on a diet that included about 80% of their normal caloric intake; the rest of their food was provided by the reinforcements of the experiments themselves (this was done to maximize the reinforcement effect of the rewards). So those birds were way the fuck into those experiments.
BTW a lot of people confuse the operant conditioning research with the people who put animals into cages and shock them. This is definitely not what BF Skinner was all about. In fact he wrote books on the subject of how punishment is a bad thing for all animals (including humans and pigeons).

I would have said “wasn’t Pavlov the guy who had a dog named Ruby Begonia?” and even the prof wouldn’t have known what the fuck I was talking about.

Ah, I suspected that this was the dude who “microfractures” his own face before going out to clubs, by hitting his cheekbones with a tenderizing mallet. Turns out it was actually the dude who “microfractures” his own face before going out to clubs, by hitting his cheekbones with a tenderizing mallet.
These influencers must sit around and think “holy shit, I can actually get people to do literally anything.”

little plastic flags that clip on to your window or door frame
I don’t mean to be all nationalistic, but I’m not talking about little clipped-on plastic flags. I’m talking full-on, massive Old Glories.

Excuse me? We’re still the best at mounting flags in the backs of pickup trucks.
- Comment on Not a good sign 1 month ago:
The real significance of the term “tragedy of the commons” was that it was part of a campaign of PR bullshit used to justify Enclosure, where wealthy elites seized common land as their private property, land that had in fact been used and managed effectively as a public resource for centuries prior.
- Comment on Not a good sign 1 month ago:
TBF the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was immediately preceded by far larger slaughters of humanity using more conventional methods, a fact which somewhat minimizes their significance. I’m referring mainly to the Holocaust and the Japanese genocide in China, but even the US firebombing of Tokyo in early 1945 exceeded the death tolls of the atomic bombings.

“THE JACKPOT IS UP TO 30-MILLION NOW! YOU BETTER GET A TICKET! YA CAN’T WIN IF YA DON’T PLAY!”
I join in the lottery pools at work, not because I think we’ll win, but because I can’t bear to imagine the horror of having everybody at work win the fucking lottery but me.
- Comment on Miss me 1 month ago:
I’ve had exactly one gambling experience in my life. I went with some friends to a casino in Louisiana and I tried a slot machine. I stuck my credit card in the slot, was debited $5, pushed the “lever” button, and won exactly bupkis. I don’t know what the appeal is but I imagine it involves winning occasionally. I’m going to stick with my 0.000 batting average and be happy.

I make bread and pizza dough with honey or molasses instead of sugar and it’s fantastic. Honey is always better than sugar – except in coffee.

One of the plots in Dune was the idea that Baron Harkonnen initially put the Beast Raban in charge of Arrakis so that he could be a huge dick and make everybody hate him, then he would be replaced by Feyd-Rautha whom everybody would love because he was slightly less of a huge dick. Trump and Vance.
