- Comment on Iraq War was preceded by the largest worldwide non-violent protests in history and the war happened anyway. 1 week ago:
No, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and a bunch of others in the administration championed it. Biden et al supported it. Subtle.

Yeah, I mistyped. But that would work too lol!

I had this same problem trying to remember the name of Revel Rouser by Duane Eddy last weekend. Another instrumental. Tried explaining instruments, style, and did the vocalization thing like in the post (there’s a name for it, but can’t remember: anomonopea?) 5 rounds of refinement led to a bunch of cool wrong answers. Ddg found a site that I could hum the tune to, but it returned an “API Fail” error. A brief search to find song-identifying resources sent me to Google voice search, and although it was only a 19% match, (probably my lousy pitch) I was finally able to get rid of that nagging brain worm.
Not the Kennedy Jr. kind…
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 4 weeks ago:
Why are columns 1 & 2 shifter between the two images? Makes comparison harder.

At least Lecter is honest about who he is!

Oh, shit, I’m still here… Can I have my wallet and dog back please?!?

Great Scott! I was so busy packing, I forgot about the dog! Quick! What are your rates! Nevermind - here’s my bank info - I won’t need money anymore!!

This is exactly what is being done. My eldest child is in a Ph. D. program for human - robot interaction and medical intervention, and has worked on image analysis systems in this field. They’re intended use is exactly that - a “first look” and “second look”. A first look to help catch the small, easily overlooked pre-tumors, and tentatively mark clear ones. A second look to be a safety net for tired, overworked, or outdated eyes.

Iron a wool suit?

My wife and I recently had a child. We came home the other day to a book in the mail; “The Little Engine That Could”. It was sent by a foundation that Dolly either started or contributes heavily to. She chose that book as the introductory book because it reminds her of the struggles her father endured and overcame learning to read. Fuck whoever dispareges Dolly Parton in the neck with a rusty screwdriver.
- Comment on When did a movie misrepresent the country or city you live in? 6 months ago:
“Moorhead” just doesn’t ring the same, and would fit a different genre better.
- Comment on This TV movie from the 1980s helped change the course of the Cold War. Here’s how ‘The Day After’ got made | CNN 6 months ago:
This movie is seared into my formative years’ memory. Growing up under the threat of nuclear Armageddon has a way of affecting people.
- Comment on Warnings meant to last 10,000 years 6 months ago:
A mash-up of the (overdone) “loss” meme and the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning Messaging

Long days and pleasant nights
- Comment on Felonies, gotta catch 'em all 6 months ago:
Votemaster and Zenger at electoralvote.com have a decent site. They take a ‘model of models’ approach and while their editorials are decidedly liberal, they put math and statistical analysis at the forefront and show their work.

Only if you speak it at a 45-degree angle in red. If you buy my audio book I’ll explain how to do this.
- Comment on MAGA Idiots Wearing Diapers For Cheeto Jesus 7 months ago:
From what I recall, he’s been doing it since at least “The Apprentice”, where he’d shit himself on set and wouldn’t do anything about it. It was alongside news about office cabinets and desk drawers crammed with boxes upon boxes of… Sudafed(?) but I don’t know the pharmacology of that (shrug)
- Comment on MAGA Idiots Wearing Diapers For Cheeto Jesus 7 months ago:
Yeah, I figured I was misremembering. The last couple of days have been a hell of a month. And I was too lazy to double check.
- Comment on MAGA Idiots Wearing Diapers For Cheeto Jesus 7 months ago:
He shits himself regularly. The press in the D.C. (?) courtroom were complaining about the putrid stench. The news of that getting out sparked this particular branch of insanity.

Oof.
- Comment on Lightning bugs 7 months ago:
They are as dumb as a bag of buckles and can be hunted with a hammer. I don’t get the appeal of “big game” hunters making a deal out of deer - they’re fucking speed bumps! And I’ve hunted!
- Comment on Lightning bugs 7 months ago:
And aggressively stupid.

The zest from those sucks! XD
- Comment on What do companies get out of rewards programs 7 months ago:
They’re associating it with your debit/credit card, unless you’re buying with cash only. Also, the “identity” isn’t so much the target as the “profile”. Don’t get me wrong, if they are able to personally identify you, the communication will be much more… personalized… (good english) - mailings, texts, emails and coupons for stuff either you’ve bought or adjacent to your stuff (with better margins for the store) addressing you by name, grouped with other purchase-history items. But back to the profile: building a profile of your likes, dislikes, brands and such is valuable data that gets more $ for corporate as the fidelity gets higher. And as it does, the messaging to you gets more targeted.

Would Demolition Man count, due to the subliminal programming while frozen, or would the “put in cryostasis for 500 years” part kinda be the antethis of OP?

Confirmed. The one ‘reference’ book I have on my desk. Page 3. The font and line layout is completely changed. The last sentence reads: “and the wolf was like, “dude.””
