And gadsden flag, and trump flag, and thin blue line flag.

Quickest way to stop massive Russian losses: TURN AROUND and march your happy asses to Moscow, and have a few words with the shit bags in power.

Fuck, even just every soldier going home would cripple any ability to punish them for being AWOL.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

Blue sport drink in index bottles.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.

But you know… It’s TOTALLY politics to not want your money going to people who want you dead, so RULE 3 GUYS RULE THREEEEEEEEEEEEE

I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently

You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.

The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I’m the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don’t want a seat belt.

30s, I am much slower to bounce back from muscular injuries, and if I smash my knee, it’s gonna be a week before I don’t need a brace. Being overweight is a big part of that though. I’m sure if I had kept my weight off after my last surgery 10 years ago I’d be quicker to recover joint injuries.

Illnesses are about the same? Maybe? Idk whenever I got a cold I would be miserable for a week, and that hasn’t changed. Every so often I’ll get something that knocks me on my ass for 2-4 days, and when I was younger it was probably only 1-2 days. I was sick much more as a kid though so that’s likely one reason, my immune system isn’t exposed to as many things anymore so illnesses that DO hurt are worse than they used to be. I’m not a biologist though, and pathology sounds like what a startup company that makes designer walkways would call themselves.

I also think I’m much funnier than I used to, but that’s likely unrelated to illnesses…

I’d prefer to just bury them in soft peat for 3 months and recycle them as firestarters.

Weird, I was literally just thinking about FLoB last week, and meant to see if he ever got there.

My wife asked what I was doing, so that side tracked me into explaining the Far Lands, and we ended up playing Minecraft for the night.

I honestly expected it to take WAY longer to get there.

reads manual

You’re only confused because I’m dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials. DISREGRD THIS I DUM

If I wanted to go through the process of trying to recover my facebook, I guarantee I would get a few dozen people tossing out hand emojis and saying “amen” before anyone notices I’m not talking about the christian god

I still have the VHS I recorded it on back in the day. No vcr, but it’s sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day when I want to see commercials for SG1 Mondays and other Sci fi shows.

Also the DVD, since I actually want to watch it every so often…

I keep introducing it to new people, but it seems to be a bit of a niche interest.

If there’s two things I cannot fucking stand, it’s people who are intolerant of other’s cultures… And the Dutch.

If it’s only mildly interesting based on a “watch it right this second or never again”? Maybe 5 minutes, max. If it doesn’t capture my interest by minute 5, and I can’t find a summary anywhere (NOT “pOwErEd bY AI”)

Is it a video about prehistoric humans, their civilizations, a lore video on one of my favorite franchises, or a nature documentary? The current record is 6 hours and 38 minutes.

I love the idea of Objects that can do things we can’t explain.

The Lost Room is probably what got me started, and Control really scratches that itch. I absolutely love the idea of The Oldest House.

not a vibrator, it’s a “personal massager” and how dare you suggest such a device could be used sexually!

It’s Sony, a Japanese company.

Why would they care about what people in private

Lol. Lmao, even.

Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.

Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc… Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It’s simply gasp too obscene!

Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of “center” are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying “mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill”, rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they’ll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it’s legal.

I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I’m not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say “hey that’s not okay and here’s why…”

Doesn’t stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like… One of those “if you’re being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you” kind of liberals)

Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
