They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned... JFC...

I know it's confusing, but seriously, the DOE is the Department of Energy, please stop calling the Department of Education that.

Uh, we have absolutely not been the wealthiest country by per capita GDP that whole time. We have been the wealthiest country by GDP

Don't give me hope

Uh, a bidet?

He was very sick for a bit and hid it for awhile so there was lots of talk about his health for a bit then he disappeared from the public eye for awhile because he was fighting cancer and recovering. He never rejoined the public eye to the degree he used to be. He was in Top Gun Maverick though which I remember being kind of a big deal because he hadn't been in much for awhile and of course had had lots of trouble with speech following the cancer I believe.

There's a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

And that's one of their songs that ISN'T about sex. Honestly it's been awhile but I'm struggling to think of a Nirvana song that is actually about (positive) sex rather than using it metaphorically. It makes sense from someone with a very unusual relationship with sexuality. (Ie. Kurt was likely trans but didn't really have the opportunity to discover that)

Nirvana is both quite horny AND quite angry more than neither.

Really still just sounds like you're coming from a place of bigotry to me. I really think you will be a happier and healthier (and probably better) person if you learn to find joy in the things that are the same in other cultures rather than focusing on the things that are different. It is a picture of a silly sign making a silly joke about a common frustration in somebodies profession and all you can think about is how awful you think the people behind it are. The joke is not denigrating anybody, it is not othering anybody, the audience of the sign does not feel unsafe or threatened by it. You are finding issues with it because of the context. Because you have other issues with the culture displayed. That's bigotry.

So you agree, the only difference between the jokes is that one is high brow and well said, and the other is low brow and written on a sign at a truck stop. I don't know how you can read what you wrote and not see that you obviously have a chip on your shoulder regarding the types of people associated with the setting rather than some intellectually honest issue with what's in the picture. Just say "I can't find this funny because I fucking hate blue collar Americans". You can do it, you can just say that instead of this "bitch eating crackers" bullshit.

Tongue in cheek threats are in fact funny to a tremendous number of people since time immemorial. I'm sorry you don't approve of the way some people enjoy being silly.

Y'know the cheese shop sketch? The famous monty python sketch where John Cleese ends it with shooting the cheese shop owner for wasting his time? Basically the same joke, famously funny sketch. You just have opinions about "this type of person"

The ability to make a silly dumb joke about a minor occupational annoyance is a window into being able to laugh at yourself. Your inability to look at someone making a silly joke without making political condemnations about their character says more about you than about them.

ITS. A. JOKE.

More of an altitude issue tbh

The superiority of benzene rings cannot be denied

Pedo

Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it's only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

Good thing he's not elected then...
