Leary is a below average comic but I think he is an excellent performer, dude had talent and presence, still does but he stole jokes to get there which means he is permanently a douchebag as far as comics go.

I really enjoyed doing a Cain novel, then a Gaunts Ghosts novel, then a Cain novel and so on.

Quite quickly?
I would say with almost unseemly haste

Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.
Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I’ll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I’m told the government will destroy my livelihood.
Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I’ll complain less about the surveillance state.

TBH its probably been close to that since I used it. Shame, It used to be a solid tool.

Piggybacking off this, is Ccleaner still any good?

I know its a bit off topic but at least in Australia all the free to air channels have their own app and if you have them all its a not insignificant selection.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 4 weeks ago:
Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

This one doesnt rate for me.
You can throw a loosely packed snowball in a fun way and you can throw a compressed af snowball with intent to cause harm.
Show me the video because without evidence this could be anywhere from “stupid cop with stupid hurt feefees” to “Bruh you tried to nail a cop with a 88mph fastball for funsies, the fuck did you think was gonna happen?”
- Comment on Only 21% of Americans Support the United States Initiating an Attack on Iran 5 weeks ago:
Iran has been pretty consistent in their “Fuck the USA” messaging for a long time. I’m actually surprised its that low given how many of them supported his stances on Greenland and Canada.

Its like when I talk about cars.
I dont speak in make and model, I speak in chassis and engine codes. Replacing an engine is a 1 weekend job that (back in the day) I can do half drunk.

As a grown man the subject of getting smacked with a thong/flip flop came up and well… we tested it. Grown men spanking each others bare arses with a flip flop. We all agreed that while the activity was slightly gay, it was also hilarious and incredibly painful.
In short, it sucks as much as it did when you were a kid.

Its so prevalent that I had an idea for a movie of a bunch of recently retired dudes being bored with getting old and deciding to re-enact a bunch of their favorite pranks from old movies only to get in JUST far enough to be in deep shit and then realise they are committing felonies and their antics trying to extract themselves.

Ive always wondered something similar about ancient artwork.
Like, sure I can tell its a horse, but thats a shitty horse. Thats a horse from the finest artistic minds of the day that looks like a 7yo did it these days. Like someone didnt look at that misshapen lump and think "I can make that look more like a horse.

- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 1 month ago:
In all seriousness its not exactly the most simple thing for a layman.
I speak petrolhead, so when you tell me something has a 2000W motor (Light bulbs and plug in heaters are measured in Watts. I honestly believe they do that on purpose to confuse the issue) I immediately do the conversion to 2kw, which is 2.6 hp on an e-bike that weighs 50kg. A 50cc Vespa makes 3.1hp and weighs 100kg. Now you throw a 50kg rider on there and you have a better power to weight ratio on the E-Bike, and shitloads more torque.

The sheer ego in that statement.
Even Americans who are wholeheartedly opposed to whats happening cant stop condescending to everyone else like “If it could happen to the greatest nation on earth it could happen to you”
We know, we have always known. We’re no better than the Germans, the Italians or any other nation that slid into authoritarianism or facism. America believed it couldnt happen to them because they are just so exceptional, which is why it worked so god damn well.

Especially when it comes to things like Tvs.
“Would you like the extended warranty out to 5 years for an extra $200”
No because that would have made my $600 tv an $800 tv which will be made to look like a piece of crap by a $400 tv in 5 years.

As an Australian the problem is largely what you imagine.
An unregulated industry brought in bikes that were closer to motorbikes than pushbikes and parents didnt do their due diligence on it. The same industry also brought in a huge amount of bikes that were perfectly sane when stock but were literally childs play to turn into something closer to a motorbike. Now the vast majority of kids went out and did kid shit and they were slightly annoying, a not insignificant number of them got hurt, but there was no real outcry.
The govt as governments are want to do reacted way too fucking slowly in putting sane limitations on what could and couldnt be sold and hold manufacturers and importers accountable. In their defence partly because 90% of them are coming out of china and the govt arent idiots in that they know how easy it would be for an importer to find a new frontman and the Chinese manufacturer to rebrand and force them to play whackamole and partly because they are very popular among adults and people who arent riding them like dickheads AND they didnt want to look anti-green by discouraging people to find car alternatives.
But Here come the fuckwits like takeovers are to “legitimate” street racing on quiet backroads, kids started doing wheelies through shopping centers while filming it for the gram, deciding it would be funny to absolutely destroy the grass and surfacing on local sporting fields and swerving in and out of traffic in 80 zones.
Its not that the cops dont care, the cops know what the reality is that if they start trying to catch them, the kids will run and eventually someones “good boy who never hurt anyone and loved to laugh” is going “to be chased to his death over a modified E-bike and the police are the reason for his death” regardless of what prompted them to chase him in the first place.
All in all its a 3 layer shit sandwich.

Does “people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones” translate into American? Half of the rest of the world wakes up every day wondering if your leader has started WW3 over a twitter beef.
But no, you have fun.

Nah dont be revisionist, Bawitaba was a hell of a jam when it came out, pretty much that whole album went hard.
I’ll listen to it still, but only through a medium where he doesnt get paid royalties because NOW he is a piece of shit.

- Comment on Ah, customer service 1 month ago:
In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I’m not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.
I’ve point blank said to customers things like “Look, I appreciate that you’re upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one” and “This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but ‘mistake’ just doesnt cut it”
- Comment on Ah, customer service 1 month ago:
Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.
I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”
People just want to be taken seriously.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 2 months ago:
You have way more chances to get back at shitty customers doing food service.
Get a cunty customer and you just smile a little too large, be a little too eager to fix their issue and let your eyes glint just a little. Then fix their issue exactly what they asked for with nothing wrong with it and untampered with. When you return to the table put a little too much emphasis on “Enjoy” when you give it to them.
They will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what you did or call the manager over and make a big scene about how you did something but cant point out what. Ruin my night, I’ll ruin yours.
