Ah but hopefully he IS the last, at least on this thread, so he's actually right!

"Keep an eye on the pennies and the dollars will look after themselves "

Thanks for that.

He did tweet that.

  • I am not in twitter and will not go to verify it. This is multiple third-party sources

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true.

But it is. Oh it is.

I found that article very confusing to read.

That is super sweet, and the stuff looks great on you!

Also, I wish for this to happen in a movie, and when your friend('s mom) said "Welcome to the Gender" we'd be blasted by "Welcome to the Jungle" and a sweet ass training montage and triumphant "transformation complete" - silhouette - fade to black.

Hang on a tick. Is that my old cheese? My good-time boy?! Or is he but a simple human man?

I love the sound, and at first it sounds like a pro worker union song (and it kinda is).

But there's way too much dog whistle.... An old soul in a new world.... Dude the south lost and slavery is bad. I'm sorry

And then he slips in some super disappointing language about fat people on welfare.

Absolute hero the guy in the chair trying to kick the pig.

Don't know how he ended up in that chair but that obviously doesn't stop him from doing what's right. By Grapthars hammer, someone's gotta kick that cop!

Sad they didn't mention what a disaster Country music has become over the last 5-10 years. Used to be about trucks, country girls and beer. Now it's about beer, whiskey, moonshine, drinking in your truck bed, drinking because of country girls, and drinking because you are working class. I want a 1:35:47 YouTube video essay on the top 50 songs the last 4 years and how they became nothing but advertisements for branded alcohol and propaganda that all poor people need is a few beers or a shot of whiskey to keep being productive and "happy".

I grew up (90's) on local Canadian Country radio. I still tune into it on my drive to work if I don't want to hear about boat crashes and genocide. And I sing along. But it's fucked. I know it.

My Aunt said she'd leave if Trump was elected. Within the year she had sold her working farm and bed and breakfast and moved to Costa Rica with her husband.

Most people can't afford to do that,or still have kids at home or whatever. And I honestly don't like her or my uncle that much, but I was so proud of them that they did that. They had the resources, so they just did it.

Most people don't have that freedom. But those who do should put their money where their mouth is.

Thank you.

"The south lost and slavery is bad, kindly get fucked."

Sorry as a Canadian and a woman I just can't not be polite.....

It's the same thing you get eatting undercooked pork. Only recently did the pork industry manage to get it mostly out of their herds so now the "recommended temp" to cook pork is dropping.

But it's still very common in bears so you have to treat it like pork and cooked it to 165*

which sucks, I'd love to try a juicy rare black bear steak.

So I was gonna make fun of her without reading the article. But I stopped myself and read it.

Student wants to have a republican club, at a Historically black university. In order to be recognised officially by the uni you need a staff member with 3 years at the uni to sign of/endorse your club. She has emailed at least 2 faculty and both have declined. She does not say how many she has reached out to or in what way. Everyone should feel so sad for this poor woman who just wants to be heard!

No I kidd. She's a whiner and an idiot looking for attention. She says she has met with 3 other students a few times unofficially, yet the minimum to be recognised officially as a group is 10. So even if she could get a sign off by a faculty, she doesn't have enough people interested in her garbage to qualify anyways (my soul brightens just slightly at this thought)

And why is she emailing random faculty? How many classes is she taking? Did she ask each of those professors, in person? Seems like she is trying to raise a stink without putting in any of the work. Wahhhhh! you won't recognise my shitty club! Help help I'm being oppressed!

The only smart thing in that whole article was the thought that in order to change the GOP you need people in it who aren't shitba.... Excuse me, who represent all walks of life and colours of skin. But frankly, that's a looooooong game to be playing...

...what...

How can an election office accept envelopes that have been tampered with? Call them back and record the answer, then call local news, blast them on every social media you have, put a crazy persons handwritten sign in your window about it, whatever it takes. The person who said they would accept envelopes that had been cut and taped just admitted they will accept votes that may have been tampered with....

Just make sure to do it from Walmart or Lowblaw or some other government teet sucking price gouging corporation.

My sister's dog does "business deals" with me (offers a paw to shake) and it gets to the point where I have to tell him I don't do deals on the weekend or I'm out of goods to trade. That little ferengi never truly believes me though he thinks I'm just trying to play hardball ...

"Garlic Breath" is a episode from the Netflix series "Rotten" that brought this information to the mainstream.

Who would have recieved your vote, if only Trump and Harris were on the ballot?

So I paid for nebula, but it seems totally vacant. I'm not mad, I'm happy to spend the money supporting small creators/any independent endeavour, but am I missing something??

That's already very common and should be shut down, but usually it applies to the particular service you are using... Not whatever this bullshit is...

I think you might be confused. If you didn't want people's answers, perhaps next time don't ask, or ask a buddy over a drink.

Why don't they just ask the Hamas terrorists to go somewhere specific and then kill or capture them there, rather than asking the civilians to leave an area so only terrorists remain and then going in and doing the same?

As a Canadian, I have the same question. Is this just the old "slam through an obviously unconstitutional law because it will take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it undone and until then maybe we can keep pushing our clearly anti-American agenda? (note I'm using American to mean what they claim it to mean, like in the movies, not what it actually is, which is kinda... this.)

What series of life events led to such a cursed reality?

And that lack of response will be another data point for anyone reading this in the future.

Tool assisted speed run. People write programs to run the game over and over, and by doing that they can prove or disprove potential strats, routes and such and then humans can try them.

I think he is a naked mole rat and the coconut reference is from something Harris said shortly after Biden stepped down.

Simple example from yesterday: My stupid pixel 8 phone has a green line on the screen. I look up how to get warrantee and think "wow, at least Google knowing everything about me will be helpful in this case" and after a few misdirects to garbage online user forum to try and get me to solve this problem myself I get prompted with "which device is the problem?"

Google pixel 8

Some camera I had but was stolen, and google knows this because they refused to replace it even though I went through the bother to report it stolen to police because they claim they will send a new one

So I click the phone next page says "this phone?" -serial number

Click

That you bought on this date from us?

Click

Good news it's under warranty! Would you like to start the process?

Thought I'd already started it but.... Click

Please enter the serial number or IMwhatever code. Click here for instructions on where to find this on your phone.

...... Click back 2 pages, copy and paste the # they told me

WRONG CODE

take the space that was at the front for some reason

Great! Here are the next steps.....

Me: wtf is this garbage....

What makes you think these decisions were "ad hoc?"

What do you think ad hoc means? And what part of "we checked out this athelete and she met all of our criteria to compete in womans' boxing" don't you get?

What failing do you think the IOC commited in allowing a cis woman to compete in womens' boxing?

I'm waiting for jatone to chime in. Humans aren't good at logic problems, especially real world ones where they don't have to follow instructions. Ever try giving a logic puzzle to a 6 year old and they answer "well I wouldn't do either of those things I'd buy an airplane and use a laser gun and then....."

That's what this stuff is. While I understand the desperate need to reform the system, you don't do that by throwing the game. I know how unlikely it is to change their minds (and they already voted) but others reading this who aren't as bull-headed might take half a second to re-evaluate the actual outcomes available from the actions to be taken. That's the hope anyways.

Are you keeping up with the Commodore?

My dad was showing us all Moon Shuttle for the 64, some old game he'd never played. And then he pulled out a chip he called "the shadow" that I guess has a history to it. It was a replacement for another chip you'd plug it into the hard drive to... Copy games? But they didn't work or they didn't make enough? He even showed me his thermal printed complaint letter he wrote explaining how long he waited and how many times he was fobbed off.

I'm quite certain what you need to do is get every one else voting. That's kind of how the whole thing is supposed to work.

Great content isn't necessarily everyone's prefered content. Having it all in one place helps people who want to see it see it and people who don't don't have to. Win win.

I mean... I can think of a few classes and groups that have the vast lion's share, but I'm not here to get banned.

My partner went to a convention in another city. He was caught off guard by the number of dudes in leather and fetishwear that he saw around the hotel when he first arrived but just thought the city must have a diverse and adventurous night life.

The next morning on his way out he spotted a poster, it was "The Bear Ball" weekend, some disco themed big gay guy event, and the hotel he was in was the headquarters, which explains why most of the other attendants of his conference were being housed in a different hotel.

He said he had some great people watching for the next couple days.

Go ahead, please talk about the real and genuine problems here....,

Ended up using dog shampoo while staying at my parents place for 2 weeks. It made my hair weird but how I figured it out was it was in one of those clear bottles with the picture on the inside behind the semi clear aqua blue shampoo. So when I picked it up for the 6th time I actually tilted it passed the point where I could see "Shampoo" and up to what I thought would be wheat or yellow flowers.
