  • Pulling the lever for Trump is like hitting yourself in the balls with a sledgehammer.

  • DaFoe was amazing in "The Lighthouse (2019)."

  • This. You can usually spot bots from their low- value click bait. ("should cannibalism be legal?","why does God allow evil to exist?","Trump is a genius", etc).

  • Popular media is the worst place to find a name for your kid. Remember all the parents who named their daughters "Danerys," before she went insane in Season 8 and burned an entire city full of innocent people alive? I wonder how they feel about that choice now. That poor kid is doomed. You might as well give her a stripper name

  • This is that "liberal news media" that Republicans keep yammering on about.

    The one that's owned by six corporations.

  • We don't hate "capitalism."

    We hate being farking exploited.

  • The U.S. also has a huge defense industry that has made people ridiculously rich at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. Those billionaires are heavily invested in the defense industry, so it's not in their interests that wars end at all.

    This is that "military-industrial complex" that former President Eisenhower warned us about so many years ago. His concern was that the U.S. would become bogged down in an endless series of "forever wars" that do nothing but transfer wealth to the already-wealthy.

    Keeping that military industrial complex well-fed is the reason why so many politicians have such a boner for war. Not only to keep their wealthy sponsors happy, but to keep tax money and jobs flowing to their states, which just happen to manufacture war materiel.

  • And if Elmo does it again, he'll get an even stronger warning.

    It must be nice to live a consequence-free life.

  • If you're growing onions in a field that doesn't have proper drainage, the water/fertilizer can actually build up in the tissue of the onion and surface washing doesn't help.

    The E. Coli probably comes from the poop water the onions were soaking in.

  • "Trickle down economics"

    They're literally saying, "we're pissing on you."

  • This is Israel's setup for bombing a damn hospital. Not that they've ever cared about needing an excuse, before.

  • Steam has a native Linux client that uses a custom version of Wine called Proton. It handles all the emulator settings for you. All the Steam games I bought in Windows run just fine under Linux. And amost all my older, non-Steam games (like Deus Ex or Giants: Citizen Kabuto) work great under Wine.

  • I hate commercials that have NO connection to the product they're selling. At all. Like, somebody literally wasted your company's money to make a video about nothing.

    Showing the benefits of your product is step 1 of advertising. Creativity is dead.

  • The red state governors are just mad because they can't divert the FEMA funds directly into their own causes. (and pockets).

  • If the game is Elder Scrolls, then I beat the OS by waving my Wabbajack and the Windows OS turns into Linux.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • The "Fire Island gay" look is not for me. (Aka Midriff-baring T-shirts and Nut-Hugger shorts.)

  • Just trying to avoid running into forum profanity rules.

  • China has built entire ghost cities, bridges, subways and malls using Tofu Dreg construction. So yes, that is technically correct. China does indeed "build things."

    The point of critical infrastructure is that it's supposed to endure, not have to be torn down again in a couple of years because it's unsafe to occupy or use.

  • "It's the quiet ones you gotta watch". You know that one, eh? Every time you see a story about a serial killer on T.V, what do they do? They bring on the neighbor. And the neighbor says “Well, he was always very quiet.” And someone in the room says “It's the quiet ones you gotta watch." This sounds to me like a very dangerous assumption. I will bet you anything that while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will farking kill you!

    Suppose you're in a bar and one guy is reading a book, not bothering anybody and another guy is standing at the bar with a machete banging it on the counter and saying “I'LL KILL THE NEXT MOTHERFARKER WHO COMES IN HERE!” ……who you gonna watch? You're goddamn right" - George Carlin
