Oh, these “let’s get people to reveal their password reset question” Facebook campaigns again…
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 1 week ago:
Well, the man’s retired so he can be I suppose? When (if?) I’m able to retire, I plan on being as out of touch as possible :D

And they got fucking expensive!
- Comment on kya 4 weeks ago:
Oh, I completely agree. I was just stating how it is here in case that’s not the same in other countries.

I have the factory fog lamps (they’re pretty low) on whenever the low beams are on. I have abysmal night vision and live in a rural area.
- Comment on kya 4 weeks ago:
Nope; factory-installed fog lights turn off with activation of the high beams in the US. Note that we can buy self-installed aftermarket fog lights and drill holes into the dash for the switch, but even then (in the jurisdictions I’ve lived in) you were supposed to turn them off when using high beams. But nobody does.

I knew before coming into the comments there would be a pendatic with this argument

Not to mention: the guy that can’t run for president again (yet)
- Comment on The roses, of course. Ow. 4 months ago:
Yeah, it was the most colorful, definitely my favorite.

Wall-e was a single unit carrying on the task of thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands? We don’t know if others were still functioning or we’re global). He was doing the task he was built for. EVE’s takes was completely different - visit the planet every so often and search for the sustainability of life. She did that as per her programming. Different tasks.

Bravo. A masterpiece.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 8 months ago:
For what it’s worth, my congress cretin is loving polishing trump’s asshole and ceding away congressional oversight to the executive branch. At a town hall lady week, he said that the DOGE department was always DOGE, they just changed the acronym (wat?!) and it was always under the executive branch, not an independent federal agency.

Vacationing in Italy was the same - smaller, healthier meals, lots of walking - I felt great and didn’t have the shits once on a 2 week trip. It’s a daily thing at home.

- Comment on Iraq War was preceded by the largest worldwide non-violent protests in history and the war happened anyway. 10 months 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? 11 months 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!!

Oh, shit! Who will water my plants?!
- Comment on Breast Cancer 1 year ago:
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?
- Comment on Ok. Now they've done it. 1 year ago:
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? 1 year 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 1 year ago:
This movie is seared into my formative years’ memory. Growing up under the threat of nuclear Armageddon has a way of affecting people.

A mash-up of the (overdone) “loss” meme and the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning Messaging
