That sucks, some people react in shitty ways in a crisis but I'm glad your impulse was to act and not just be a bystander. There's a furious storm of chemistry going on that can trick this weird thinking meat into lashing out in irrational ways.

I've known some drivers who were completely oblivious to the state of their vehicles: they'd keep on trucking until the smoke pouring out of the hood got too thick to see and then stick their head out the window for the remainder of the journey. Only slight exaggeration. The old Simpsons trick of fixing a "Check Engine" indicator with a strip of electrical tape on the display turns out to be less than ideal, who could've guessed?

In any event, you spent that extinguisher for some valuable experience not just on the technical "Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep" side of things but also the human component. I hope you will continue to help those in need since it sounds like you're the type of person who feels compelled to respond rather than sit back and film a clip for the 'gram or whatever.

That's one weird-looking Pokeball he's tugging on-

Thwump!...tickety-tackety-tack ¹

Hey, where'd he go?

All I remember about that guy (aside from a vague sense that he's a cheap, slimy shithead but not even the worst because that would make him remarkable) is a video someone put together with a bunch of his pet phrases and blunders. Not funny enough to make him even a little more likeable but hearing anyone say "call it what you want" now brings me a brief flash of revulsion.

Absolute necessity. Those jump packs can be nice too if you treat them right, mine has always worked so far when needed but most of the credit for that should probably go to my recurring "battery check" calendar reminder every few months. Nice to be able to get yourself out of a bad situation when nobody else is around or have one fewer problem to solve if there's tricky terrain or tight quarters getting in the way of hooking up cables.

Yeaaah USA, USA, USA!

But what's them big words after the lines?

The account was compromised over the weekend and instead of the usual posts of encouragement and kindness, Elmo’s 650,000 followers were given antisemitic threats and a profane reference to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

That's why it'd be startling to find a startling.

I propose "startling" if the mutation is enough to qualify as a new species. Sort of like the opposite of an endling and you get a fitting double meaning as a fun bonus.

Donfrey Trumpstein.

Don't hold your breath for him to acknowledge the difference between his words and actions his other words, hypoxia causes brain damage and brain damage is a path to Republicanism.

Fucker thought he was Lee Harvey Oswald and forgot to double-tap before his head got turned into a rooftop Jackson Pollock. Unforgivable mistake.

Probably blames Biden for the slow trickle of shit oozing down his leg too.

Lawyer.

The smart people have done their nerdy number-wizardry and said it's not going to work but if your huge slingshot was tall enough to reach into space, you could just put the spaceship on top and call it a day. How to get it there is an exercise for the reader.

Reminds me of the 3D Maze screensaver.

I've got some bad news about the passage of time. You might want to sit down or firmly grip your walker for support.

I don't see that lens option.

Their war on facts continues.

More than a decade, I remember seeing it around 04 or 05.

Which is why that error in diction shows up so often.
