  It obviously doesn’t, and people do lie in court all the time in both fiction and reality. The bible, or whatever they happen to use as a stand-in, is just ceremonial for the oath of sworn testimony. The real threat that keeps people from lying is not hellfire and damnation, it’s perjury.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long and how hard would it be to get a star removed on The Hollywood Walk of Fame? Asking for a friend.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As evidenced by the dozens of times Trump’s star was vandalized, no matter how you deface or destroy it, they’ll just replace it with a new one.

  I don’t think there’s any way to get it removed officially other than petitioning the people who manage the walk of fame, and they are all in the same club that the folks who have stars on the sidewalk are in.

  It does get tiresome going to steam threads and seeing the same copy pasted “don’t ruin the game with woke shit” post up voted to the top.

  There’s a pencil thin line between farming clown emoji and overt bigotry getting pumped to the top of the reviews section by bad faith actors.

  So the narrative the other day was drug cartels were swarming the airport with drones and that’s why they had to shut it down.

  Was that a total fabrication to cover for this obvious false positive?

  Also answers my question for “How come nobody has drone bombed you-know-who yet?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most placed with conversation pits that I’ve seen in person did have a false floor panel to cover it when there was no company over. Turned it back into regular floor space.

  Honestly, this picture is close to accurate if you were trying to input the code for the debug menu in Shadows of The Empire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Im curious what they will come up with⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never understood their disdain for liberals. They don’t like them because… they’re easy to goof on? Because some people, both liberals and conservatives, have no concept of nuance?

  There are absolutely some episodes of South Park where I fundamentally, vehemently disagree with the political statement it’s trying to make. I don’t know if that is their unique brand of politics seeping into the episode’s discourse, but I can hardly expect them to hit the bullseye every time and I’m still able to appreciate the show in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the bootlicking chodes I’ve argued with recently, just existing anywhere near ICE performing their kidnapping operations is obstruction.

  Apparently getting shot in the back 10 times is excusable if you were somehow preventing ICE from disappearing people by standing on a public sidewalk. It’s total psychopath abuser mentality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Begging your pardon for that, sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, 2026 is easy because neither of them will be on that ballot. That’s why midterms are tough for incumbents, because there’s less motivation for their party to turn out, but the aggrieved opposition are highly motivated to turn out as a referendum on the current administration.

  2028, who knows man. Anything can happen between now and then. I feel like if someone voted for Trump in 2020 or 2024 then they are terminally stupid.

  I tried doing Ironman a while back. Not even on classic, just on whatever the latest patch was. It was only getting easier with time and I wanted my name on that leaderboard. In my mind, it didn’t seem like it would be that difficult as long as I played carefully.

  I gave up after level 20. I didn’t die, but I had a few close calls and figured it wasn’t going to be worth it to grind out 90+ more levels using the worst gear in the game and no healing or stat boosting items.

  That dominoes shit makes no sense to me. I’ve tried to look up the rules multiple times online and then I go into the game and try to make a legal move and the game won’t let me.

  This sounds insane, and I used to think so as well until my ex did just that in front of me one day and then I tried it the next time I cooked a pizza at home. 1000% a better tool than a pizza cutter wheel. I’m a convert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Priorities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.

  Now that women are, y’know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one’s means to purchase.

  I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We’re happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not really that surprising that Trump would request a cameo considering they used one of his hotels for filming.

  The thing that I have never been able to get over is how the guy who live in a luxurious penthouse suite and shits on a gilded toilet, that has built his entire brand identity about being a rich douchebag somehow convinced people that he was a champion of the common man, as if he has literally anything in common with the average American whatsoever. I still burn even today when I think about how stupid people are to have fallen for it in the first place.

  Now any criticism of him is automatically political, because he got elected to the most important job in the nation. Even criticism of him before he became a politician is being reframed as just disgruntled Democrats trying to tear down Trump.

  I hate him. So much.

  All rituals to please the eldritch crane God, so that a suitable avatar can be summoned to the material world. Praise be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Religion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think because most religious tenets are more restrictive rather than permissive, it’s easy to say “everyone should have the freedom to practice their own religion.”, but the part that gets left out is “including no religion at all.” and that is an important distinction.

  Whenever I meet these types of psycho Christian nationalists who think it’s A-OK to impose their own regressive views on others by rewriting the law to be a reflection of their holy text, I just fire back with an even more regressive, barbaric interpretation of a religious commandment.

  “I worship Ba’al Hamon, and my religion says I must sacrifice an infant child to gain his favor. I will lobby my congressmen to change the law to add an exception to infanticide when performing a ritualistic blood offering. Oh, what’s that? You don’t like that? Gee, and you were so gung-ho about forcing people to abide by your religious demands a second ago. I thought we were cool with forcing our beliefs on other people?”

  If your religion can’t coexist with nonbelievers without forcibly bending them to your rules, it’s a shit religion.
