That’s incredible.

I was quite conservative back in 2006, having been raised that way and still years away from my “enlightenment,” but I knew Colbert was satire. I still thought he was hilarious. I’ve always thought it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself.

Bush clearly felt the same, he was laughing right along with the roast, and had just finished doing a bit with a Bush impersonator that also roasted him.

But Trump is incapable of humility, and cannot stand the traditional presidential roast at the Press Correspondents’ Dinner.

And could also corrode the cartridge. I knew a guy whose son absolutely ruined a Pokémon 3DS cartridge that way.

Made me expel a small amount of air from my nose. I think most people just read the first few words and then downvoted.

(Or didn’t think the context appropriate for making acronym-based jokes.)

Oh wow, that brought me through a wormhole to the past.

After you’ve seen it, go watch The Disaster Artist.

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.

This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.

Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.

President who wants to be an Imperialist eschews the soft power required for hegemony.

What a fucking dipshit.

Yes, every superchromat should read this series.

I always called it “tech aura.”

And if you like Sawbones, check out My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

It’s a comedy advice podcast from the lovable idiot and his two brothers. It’s great fun, and was referenced in the musical Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda is a big fan).

I hope he negotiated 24/7 armed guard as part of his contract...

Szeth-son-son-Vallano will have some thoughts about that. He will be able to blame the CEO for their deaths.

(Please note, FBI, this is a reference to The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, and should in no way be interpreted as a threat of Luigi-ing.)

Are you a liar or ignorant? Or maybe both?

Nah. It’s the same leitmotif, just in a major key. Both are based on the Dies Irae, one of the oldest surviving pieces of written music which is often used in orchestral works (and movies) to denote death.

Look at the other replies to the parent post and you’ll see audio examples.

Yeah. The crash should’ve been survivable. If, as many have theorized, the pilots lost both engines (or believed they had), gliding to the runway with no gear or flaps makes sense. Both would introduce drag and could prevent reaching the runway. Unfortunately, they landed long and fast, preventing them from slowing sufficiently. Even so, at most airports this shouldn’t have been nearly so bad. It would’ve been bad, but not “explosion and loss of nearly everyone on board” bad.

The direct cause of the fatalities in this incident is that damn berm, something that would never be allowed at a modern airfield in the United States and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere. If you need additional height on the localizer, you use a tear-away structure that will not cause an aircraft to explode when struck.

You might be right. Although as I understand it, a person who is excommunicated can be re-communicated (or whatever it’s called) by repenting and turning away from whatever caused their excommunication.

Excommunicate the bastard

He isn’t a member of the Roman Catholic Church. They excommunicate their own, not Protestants. Or, indeed, people who pretend to be Protestant.

Those people are inherently excommunicated, which is to say not allowed to participate in the sacraments of the Roman Catholic church, since they aren’t members.

You can also make italics by surrounding something with underscores.

Oh I didn’t read the article. That’s on me.

Most rich people aren’t billionaires. Most people at a ski resort aren’t the problem.

Wealth, shown to scale

(Just keep scrolling, it’s fascinating.)

I don’t use TikTok but I knew plenty about Israel’s actions. It was all over the internet and plenty of news sources.
