Here is a derivative of that one:

Two guys walk into a bar. The third one ducked.

What do you get when you pull the wings off of a fly?

A walk.

No and I'm already to that point.

It's just my two older brothers that are left. One is a narcissist and not worth my time. The other is a rabid Gravy SEAL who would rather have Kyle Shittenhouse as his brother than me.

It's not just politics that separates me from them, there is a lot of family history of disrespect and attempted abuse.

54m here, can I join in?

Pay yourself first. You pay rent, you pay a car payment, add paying yourself first. That payment can be as little as $1, but it goes into a savings fund AND IT IS GONE, just like any other payment EVERY MONTH. When the savings fund gets to an amount that it can be rolled into something that makes more interest, do it. But that money is GONE, for all intents and purposes. When do you use it? You will know, when you can pull it out for something that is not an emergency, but rather something that will last the rest of your life. No, cars don't count.

Cars, trucks, etc.... Here is the thing about cars and trucks. THEY ARE A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY YOU STAY ENSLAVED TO MAKING PAYMENTS ON EVERYTHING ELSE. But wait Canopyflyer, you say with a roll of your eyes, I HAVE to have a car, because there's no public transit where I live. Dude, I live in the United States, no one takes public transit here, I fucking know. So thanks for dropping anchor there admiral obvious. Buy the most reliable and cheap to run car you can possibly find. That doesn't mean an old shitbox. Buy a car that's a couple of years old that has a reputation for reliability and has already lost that first year's depreciation. I currently drive a 10 year old Camry LE, that I bought with 7k on the odo. Using a car to show how big your cock isn't, is the epitome of stupidity and is disastrous to your future financial health. If you're driving the latest SmallCockMobile with a $1k payment +... You are a complete fucking moron.

CAVEAT ON VEHICLES: If you can have someone else pay for it, then sure, go buy that ego mobile. That includes the company you work for, or if you're in a business where you have to have a certain type of vehicle. I have a great deal of respect for a person that works with their hands and needs a truck to carry their tools.

OK, maybe that's two bits of advice, but both are financial, so I'm sticking with it.

If the Legislature and Presidency go all Democrat, the very FIRST thing they have to do, is deal with that insane Supreme Court.

Impeach Thomas, Alito and every idiot that fat Cheeto installed on the court. Probably will get Thomas, but not sure about the other 4, but they need a reality check. Thomas needs to go to be tried for his ethic violations afterward. He needs to revisit his life choices in a quiet cell. Also, scrap that stupid fucking RV of his. Seriously, why the fuck do those things exist? Why not just stay in a nice hotel? It would be cheaper.

Increase the court to anywhere between 11 and 15. There are 11 circuits, so 1 SC justice for each makes sense.

Then that court's first order of business is to shut the fuck up and do the job they are there to do.

Wait, why not reverse the previous decisions... Easy, because what has happened this year, can happen again... so...

Congress needs to codify women's reproductive rights, Chevron Deference, and anything else these bunch of fucking morons did this past year. Congress should then take a real close look at any other "business as usual" things that go on in government and see how they could be better protected from the next assault from these assholes.

The Fucking Idiot Six on the Supreme Court put into very sharp relief the weaknesses in our government. It's time to rectify that.

Frell.

Pull the wings off of a fly!!!!!

Do you know what you get when you pull the wings off of a fly?

Well do you?

A Walk.

Irrespective of the humor, Noem is a very sick individual. She should not be in public, much less hold public office of any kind.

And where...

THE FUCK...

Is the FBI?

If that's not a terroristic threat, then what is?

Not Allomancy? Being a full Mistborn would be cool, but I'd take being a coin shot.

Hemalurgy is right out of course. Really don't want spikes sticking in me anywhere.

It was the Halloween boogie 1999 at Skydive Greene County in Xenia, OH. We were jumping a CASA 212' which at the time was the largest jump ship in the US. It was Sunday morning, first load of the day and I was sitting up by the cockpit. The previous night was filled by a party and a ton of beer.

At about 9000 feet my bowels started rumbling, at 10k I released. All 30 people on the plane started gagging. The pilots opened the rear door to air out the cabin. As any pilot will tell you, a fart at altitude is a dangerous thing.

The Drop Zone Owner warned us that if he catches the culprit, that person would receive a permanent ban from the DZ.

I was suspected, as were a couple of people that had been sitting near me, as that part of the plane is where the smell was most intense. But no one fessed up.

I jumped there for another 7 years.

Do you think it's Oreseur, or Tensoon?

I've seen that exact scene in Atlanta trying to get to Alpharetta from 75 S by 675.

I was wondering why the world felt like it was a better place.

I'm glad that cancer was finally able to shake the OJ Simpson disease and is feeling much better.

Just finished the fourth complete rewatch of Faracape for the family. For me personally it was my 8th rewatch. By far my favorite sci Fi series of all time.

After that we watched Firefly.

Just started Stargate SG-1. Second time for the family, 3rd time for me.

I personally know someone who totaled 4 cars before turning 18. He literally treated the gas as an on/off switch.

So people that bad at driving are out there.

Truth be told, drivers here in the US are TOTALLY untrained for the most part. My oldest is currently in driver's Ed and it is a joke, in regards to actually how to drive a car. I have spent a lot of time training him as I have a long history taking racing and advanced driving courses. I've held SCCA and FIA racing licenses and I have taken some courses that are usually reserved for police officers The only problem is I do not feel that I'm a very good teacher for him. But he has picked up some things, even if he isn't up for threshold or trail braking.

Thank you. I really like your post and wanted to give you more than just an upvote

From a fellow ex-christian. Ex since the age of 11.

That seems to be a desecration of the Bible. I wonder if "Christians" will even raise an eyebrow.

I lie about everything... Even this comment is a lie.

In all seriousness, I do enough misdirection that it would be difficult to figure out who I am. But not impossible. Once in a while I'll post something that is completely out of character for me, just to throw off anyone that may actually know me.

Here is an example of why:

I have a former coworker fishing for me on Reddit and he is unaware that I no longer post on that site, or even have an account. A friend of mine clued me in to one of former coworker's posts which mixed a bit of truth in with some massive delusional lies. So once in a while I'll pull up his Reddit account to see if there is anything I need to send to my lawyer. Yeah, it's one of those situations. The post I was originally made aware of made my lawyer giddy and he was disappointed that I declined to set him loose. Former Coworker is a narcissistic loser that lives credit card payment to credit card payment anyway. The best way to deal with a narcissist is with indifference.

So yeah, my posts are true to the point where identifiable information is needed. Then I mis-direct.

I get that this is the Internet.

But how about this one time, we all converse as adults.

How does that sound?

An adult response would have been:

"Virtually all European universities require a Masters to attain a PhD."

This is Lemmy and not Reddit after all.

Someone should have told my wife's program that.

But I can understand how that would happen.

Today she's looking to stress cells in a lab to promote a mis-folded protein response that mimics how it happens in the body. At least that's how far my IT guy understanding goes. She's found herself running a BSL 3 lab working with nasty micro organisms and that is not her field. It's just the path her research lead he down.
