  • The brains will help, but you still have my support all the same, for what it's worth.

  • Trying to get shit done on the 'net with a 56K modem circa 1995 vs. trying to get shit done one the 'net but everything has been purposely turned into garbage that generates ad revenue even if you pay for it circa 2025.

  • Huh, TIL that he was into K. I thought that he was just an oddball because of his weird upbringing and fuckwad entitled bourgeois attitude.

  • I'm not as familiar with the whole theology involved, but still am pretty sure he'll have to weather a few cycles as whatever multi-legged miniature vermin that insects eat before he can break back into the mammalian strata. He can't possibly be acting like such a gigantic piece of shit accidentally, can he?

  • Less than five minutes into the stream, a player logged on and asked Musk if he could “please jerk off mr trump so he dies of a heart attack.”

    Not all heroes wear capes. Someone buy them a fucking drink, I'm going to be laughing about that alone for years.

  • after becoming aggressive when Hotel Amigo staff refused to extend bar hours.

    You've got to be fucking kidding me. How is he that much of an alcoholic, still such a poor drunk, and also simultaneously too stupid to just ask them for road beers to take with him and/or order a bottle to his hotel room? How the fuck was such a stupid motherfucker able to secure a job working for the U.S. Secretary of State?

  • No, not quite. No one benefits, and it's not an inside joke. The analogy is that the gigantic bodybuilding nerd from Clockwork Orange is the outlier, and that the control is Alex. That's it.

    When I saw the original graph, I tried to think of any examples of mega-guidos that were also geniuses and remembered the scene from the movie with Dave Prowse in this role. It seemed to fit well, so I made the meme.

  • Well, he's a sharp-dressed little suitor at least lol

  • I'll be 100% honest with you, they're probably more worried that you didn't graduate high school while your beau is aiming to study law/medicine. Beyond that, I've had the pleasure of knowing plenty of perfectly normal, successful people whose parents-in-law hate them.

    Please, trust me when I tell you that this is more about them than you, and that the sooner you stop granting their opinions value the better off you'll be. You're a businessman who loves and supports his parents, if they're too stupid to understand that not everyone who'll love their daughter is Dr. Sexy MD, they're unlikely to pull their heads out of their asses anytime soon, and equally unlikely to be satisfied with their girl's non-astronaut suitors. You work hard, run your own business, and love her, they should know better than to try and torpedo your relationship - many people can't manage to do even one of the previous criteria. You need to make a decision about how much bullshit you're willing to tolerate before moving forward, but I'd recommend you talk it over with her as she might have some unkind words for them, and it would probably go more smoothly if she's the one who puts them in their place.

  • Yes, you might be surprised at how few meaningful results can be gleaned even when using exact titles in search queries. I'm not even talking about the ad results that appear at the top of the page now, even Google sometimes entirely fails to provide the desired results.

  • "How can I live my life in such as way as to ascend to a higher level of consciousness when my mortal shell dies? What wisdom can you impart?"

    DMT Elves: "Hey kid, look at this."

  • Yes, that tracks. Check the outbuilding at the back of the property for some guy with a pencil tucked behind his ear while rebuilding a fried 50,000W amplifier for the nearest sports area.

  • My bet is that it's paywalled like a lot of academic studies. It's likely out there, but best of luck to you nailing it down, I've been having a Hell of a time turning up worthwhile results with search engines for quite a while.

  • Not just an action movie star, he's a smart cookie.

  • Unknown, but likely he's the human form of Larry the Lobster with a PhD hanging on his wall.

  • "Try the wine."

  • That blew me away as a kid, realizing that the guy voicing Vader wasn't the one in the costume, and was in fact the same actor who played Thulsa Doom.

  • Fuck yes, that's one way to do it.
