Zed's shed baby. Zed's shed.

It's wasps all the way down...

I can 100% guarantee this is the UK comic magazine Viz.

It often has ridiculous made-up articles like this.

COVID knocked all global trade in that period.

The major issue I had with this is that it plays into the alpha male misogynistic ideal of strength.

Some of them will almost certainly see it as a badge of honour. That they are so dominant that some stupid women (their opinion) will misinterpret that and get into trouble with a bear.

I was trying to come up with a way to rephrase it.

Something like would you rather be alone with a man or separate but you both have to eat a bowl of dog shit.

If women choose the bowl there are nasty consequences for both and it's clearer they would rather deal with that than the man.

Nowhere near as catchy though...

Snapping sounds like a real faff.

Keep them all in a special plastic box that is inside a powerful electromagnet.

Push button and a field that is strong enough to damage the cards almost instantly and over a short time would generate enough heat to physically damage the cards.

With enough power and time you could turn them into one hot blob that wouldn't even be recognisable.

So near instant data damage and then physical destruction probably before someone can work out what's going on.

Did I imagine a scam with hacked bios as well?

Where the card looks a bit physically similar and the bios is updated to report it as whatever dynamite card but it's actually a pos and the performance is always rubbish.

Again I remember rumours about that then as well. It seems as though this is an advanced version of that, crystallising into one person.

As I saw this I had a thought. It's long been touted that Trump doesn't really have any money he's just massively in debt and lives by borrowing against his assets. Not sure if this is true or not.

However if it is, what if Musk just bought up all that debt. So all the money Trump owes he owes to Musk.

Effectively then he owns the president.

I can almost guarantee this is a parody bit or letter from Viz.

Every issue is peppered with little gems like this and the styling looks right

This is what those woke liberals want!

The sunk cost fallacy is a very easy way to get stuck being miserable.

Sometimes a drastic change might be painful at the time but will be much better for you overall.

Ah nice to see Red Bull continuing their tradition of managing their drivers in the shitiest ways.

Yeah but does anyone call them that? I'd still call that kind of fine cut a paper cut.

Never heard anyone say "ow I've got a cardboard cut"

Are the cuts from packaging different then?

Never heard of cardboard cuts.....

That's a shame. Although living in that van all those years probably didn't help.

I'm trying to coin the phrase distopia.

To make it clear we're talking about this dystopia we're living in now.

I'm also open to it meaning a world where everyone's disses are completely on point.

Yep nice but of classic projection.

Mine keeps telling me, angrily, how angry I am. Yet I want absolutely zero to do with her and avoid her at all cost.

Wouldn't shooting them into Jupiter be the easiest?

I'm sure I've read a few things about what an impact that big bugger has on trajectories in our solar system.

Intuitively I feel like a push towards Jupiter would be easier than a push to get all the way out of the solar system avoiding Jupiter.

Ah my old friend, the superior siege weapon.
