  These things do happen. I read an article less than a year ago about a lady who pretended to be a nurse and worked in a hospital for quite a while. She was only discovered when she was going to be promoted and they realized she wasn’t certified.

  The CIA and international criminals use identify brokers to disappear. There are organized criminal groups that will create a fake identity and cultivate it to adulthood—opening bank accounts, renting apartments, and taking on fake jobs to produce a fully functional blank identity with a history that can be verified. Then, they sell that identity to the highest bidder.

  The only reason they can’t be pirated is that they are difficult to produce and often case specific. Nobody is going to do all that work for free, and it requires you to either be willing to take the risk yourself, or to have the money and connections for an experienced criminal to do years of work for you.

  Piracy is piracy because copies can be reused indefinitely without significant further cost to the person sharing it. If uploading Shrek took 18 years of work and cost 100k+ for a single use, it wouldn’t be widely available either.

  Have you tried a foreign money exchange? I exchange dollars for pesos a lot and they regularly have $2 bills and 50 cent pieces because they are considered a good luck gift in Mexico.

  Apparently giving them to a little person is considered extra good luck there—no clue why. Apologies if I got something culturally incorrect, I’m just repeating what the dude at the counter told me once, and I’ve heard Wee Man talk about the phenomenon of getting loads of random money and head pats when he was shooting footage in Mexico.

  It’s not about resources, it’s about the resistance from the opposition. I think if they try to do everything at once, they’ll find a war on all sides from the republicans, but if they can focus their energy, they might stand a chance of getting something done.

  John Adam’s saying “piddle, twiddle, and resolve, not one damn thing do they solve” from the movie 1776, talking about congress.

  Maybe they could do it or maybe they couldn’t, but the infighting about it would be insane. You’d have representatives talking about how it’s a waste of taxpayer money, others would say it is healing, if a republican president got elected next, they might just build it again.

  Instead of the first person in office just deleting these 4 years physically, I’d much rather see them spend their energy to address reforms that would keep another bad actor like Trump from getting elected again.

  Then, once we’ve closed the loopholes, money faucets, and propaganda machines, another well reasoned president down the line can work on the demolition project.

  I have heard before that they try to rehome those dogs with cops and former cops so that they can’t be used by drug smugglers to perfect their packing methods. No idea how true that is, but I doubt the veracity of this story.

  Yep. Taking long breaks and using vitamins is absolutely essential. It’s crazy that more people don’t know that in the culture.

  I think OP is trying to (poorly) articulate that the first frame is a digital fake that has been inserted in front of the explosion to make it seem like it was due to a plane hitting the building.

  Poor joke, poor execution, and lame meme, in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But if you do, do it as safely as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the best kept secrets in the drug world is how well nitrous combines with psychedelics. It can make one hit of acid feel like ten hits of acid for about 60 seconds, which is a safer way to do some deep mental exploration without actually taking 10 hits of acid and riding that massive high for 12 hours.

  Now for the safety information for anyone who hears that and gets a bright idea:

  Nitrous oxide in recreational amounts inhibits the bodies ability to absorb B12 for days to a week. People who reuse within that window end up with a big B12 deficiency that can cause huge problems to multiple body systems. Anyone using nitrous should take a break of a month or longer between uses and be supplementing with vitamins to keep your levels up. You are safer doing more in a session and taking a long break than you are doing less of it very frequently.

  The reason to use a balloon to inhale the nitrous rather than taking it straight out of the can like Steve O is that the nitrous comes out very cold and can have super frozen fluid that sprays out if held upside down. Dispensing it into a balloon and then inhaling from the balloon allows it to warm up so it doesn’t freeze your throat and causes you to suffocate or get freezer burn in your lungs.

  Your brain needs oxygen. Take at least two deep breaths of oxygen for every one inhale of nitrous. Nitrous is heavier than air, so make sure to really exhale when you’re inhaling fresh oxygen. Make sure the room is well ventilated—it can create an invisible intoxicating cloud in enclosed spaces. This is especially risky if you have a tank that gets a leak because you’ll be too fucked up to walk yourself out of the closet to safety.

  And my final pro tip: don’t look up when you’re inhaling the balloon! Your spit will dribble in the balloon and collect in the bottom, so if you tilt the balloon up, you will get Poseidon’s pickleback directly into your mouth, and when you’re already tripping, that is basically the final circle of hell.

  Step 1: Seek to prove that anglophones can’t pronounce foreign words.

  Step 2: Ask a history question that has less to do with pronunciation than it does with an awareness of political events that happened on the other side of the globe, likely before the respondent was born.

  Step 3: Ignore that even the people who were alive in that time were likely only getting their pronunciation from whoever was anchoring the news and may be blameless for only hearing an incorrect pronunciation.

  Step 4: Feel smug, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If dogs have such a great nose, why do they sniff other dogs asses? Wouldn't it smell like shit or not a good smell?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like enlightenment to me.

  A dog receiving a vision of the Buddha and looking like it just sniffed the best butt in the world. The dog knows that the derrière extraordinaire is both nothing, and everything, and the dog is content. The dog cares not which way the wind blows for there are butts on every side. Changing one’s focus from the subjective butt to the universal butt brings peace. The tao of the tail wags both ways, which brings aromatic wisdom to all who whiff it.

  So is the dog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the make a wish foundation really grant every wish? Or at least try to? Like if a 10 year old wanted to see Taylor Swift naked in person would they at least contact Swift or her Reps to do it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no data to support this whatsoever, but my gut tells me that the employees of the Make A Wish Foundation don’t skew majority MAGA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the make a wish foundation really grant every wish? Or at least try to? Like if a 10 year old wanted to see Taylor Swift naked in person would they at least contact Swift or her Reps to do it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The make a wish foundation reaches out to others to try to fulfill the wish as long as it is legal and approved by the parents. When it can’t be fulfilled fully, they try to honor the spirit of the wish (for instance, if you want to go to space, they will probably end up helping you meet an astronaut and try a simulator with them or something).

  Bringing your example down to reality, let’s say a 10 year old wants to go on a date with Taylor Swift. They would contact her team and explain that the 10 year old wants to meet her, has a crush, and asked for a date. If she’s comfortable with it, they might stage a cute interaction where she has a meal at the hospital bed with a candle and a flower, or maybe a scenario where the kid gives her a valentines card. Photo op, big hug, the wish is now over.

  I want to be abundantly clear that there is no circumstance in any timeline where a 10 year old is clapping those cheeks at the end of their terminal disease wish.

  The big baby Trump inflatable that they use at a bunch of the protests springs to mind. Home Alone is decent. Every single Saturday Night Live parody of the man. Kathy Griffin’s severed head photo shoot.

  His likeness has been memefied for nearly every purpose, and not all of those purposes have anything to do with his organization or reputation directly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biggest, most beautiful pill.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve purchased ecstasy that had Tesla logos, and I hate Elon Musk. Pretty sure Tesla didn’t personally benefit from that transaction, so I didn’t give it much thought beyond noticing the novelty.

  If my dealer had told me “Trump heads are fire, yo”, I probably would have tried one of those.

  Buying pills is a very non-political act, even when they look like Trump. The only thing that really matters are whether or not they are cut with uppers or downers to match your preference. If someone ends up in the hospital due to a Trump head pill, it says absolutely nothing about their political affiliation.
