Perfection.

I have been sexually harassed as a man in public transportation too and while i recognize it’s not as bad for me as it is for women, because it only happened a few times, it always happened by forcing me to be smushed against a ton of people.

Let me just say: I am sorry you went through that. This is awful and indeed unacceptable. Thank you for pointing out that assault is not an entirely gendered issue, and that segregation sends everyone down a slippery slope where we fail to stop it in the first place.

Clearly. I'm also prepared to pay the handsome sum of $0. Where is my cabinet position?

And greedy. Can't forget greedy.

Russia will have to surrender and disarm their nukes,

Interesting. During the Cold War, that was unthinkable, mostly because there'd be nobody to counterbalance a US monopoly on nuclear arms. Things have proliferated considerably since then, so perhaps a nuclear Russia isn't as important. If anything, they're proving themselves to be a liability.

Good grief. It's like he asked ChatGPT "how do I hire people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect?"

Dear meme-lords: I need something with much more facepalm than the Picard one. A "super facepalm" if you will. Thank you.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this too. Just yesterday, I was thinking "what would Mr. Rogers say/think at a time like this?"

Then it dawned on me that maybe the worst parts of society had a radically different upbringing and media exposure than myself. ¹ The so-called "violent" cartoons (many of which were just toy commercials) I get and recall people keeping that stuff from their kids. But to think of banning something like (1980's) PBS in your home, of all things. Now I understand why that messaging existed in the first place - we might be worse off right now without it.

No idea. Maybe they'll keep it like the Gadsden Flag holdout libertarians? "We were here first" and all that.

Honestly, I was thinking about the people out there with tattoos. There has to be at least one.

For me, the cherry on top is how the "InfoWars" name is still completely apt, for completely different reasons.

I think there's always going to be that group of people. Another example: folks that didn't notice that The Colbert Report was satire.

That also sounds like the kind of prank that Cards Against Humanity would pull if they had access to as much cash. I love this so much.

So, "what in the isomorphic fuck" covers all the bases?

I mean, if that ultimately gets me a girlfriend, I'll give it a shot. Seems like a lot of extra steps though.

Easily the best one. But does that mean:

a. Self-actualization and understanding one's self is difficult for men due to toxic masculinity and social norms.

b. Into guys but with dubious grammar skills.

c. ... both?

Maybe? We also import a shed-load of tobacco. Combined, that's not gonna be pretty.

The syrup helps the little corns slide down better.

Also: I can't feel my toes but I'm sure that's unrelated.

Rabbit hole time.

Apparently, caffeine in soft drinks is synthetic. I thought they just used caffeine that is extracted from decaffeinating coffee beans - not so. Also it's barely produced in the US (anymore), and we mostly import it from China.

Neat part is: it doesn't look all that complicated to synthesize and requires some common-ish organic compounds and solvents to make. As a bonus, the "the raw synthetic caffeine often glows - a bluish phosphorence". If anyone is on his Patreon, please give NileRed a nudge to give this a shot; I think it would be right up his alley.

So we can get by without coffee, but short of running your own chemistry lab, it's going to be a bit before industry can ramp up production of the synthetic stuff. Meanwhile, caffeinated beverages across the board would be more expensive were synthetic caffeine a part of any tariff scheme.

Yes. Lead.

One way or another: he's full of it.

I think it's HGH gut. Man's rich as hell, so of course he's going to pay for all the health and life-extending stuff he can get his hands on. Human growth hormone can combat aging, but it's not perfect.

HGH is known to be an effective generator of muscle mass, which is why it is so often a favorite for bodybuilders. However, there is a large concentration of growth hormone receptors in the large intestine, which can contribute to the intestine’s undesired growth. Specifically, this tends to occur when an individual uses illegal HGH without doctor supervision.
