“So bow to her if you like, bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence. Boo! BOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Still fits here, tbh

Honestly even if I liked something, telling me not to boo it will make me want to boo it.

BOOO!

LPT: don’t buy shit from the US. Especially not with any sort of contracts. Especially especially not if we’ve been threatening your country in any way. We clearly can’t be trusted not to have dangerous mood swings every 4-8 years.

And certainly don’t buy something with any sort of link back to its country of origin.

🤮 What a fucking terrible day for eyes.

Still every day I hear “it’s not all black and white we can’t act rashly” shut the fuck up cletus you’re just a brain-dead tongue happily licking the shit off MAGAs boot.

You can agree that something is disgusting on a fundamental level while still feeling nothing…

I find the constant suffering of others to be heartbreaking, but I don’t actually go around feeling heartbroken all the time.

Being desensitized by things I’ve seen on the interwebs over the years has dulled any reaction I might have, but I an still understand, articulate, and sympathize with those feelings.

"NOTICE

Wives choosing (insert tools here) must have a signed note from their husband"

I once ran a torrent for 3 years before a new version of the program came out, and I hadn’t even hit 0.2 yet.

Regular Transporters don’t work like that. The flux matrix compensates for any discrepancies in the patterns pre- vs post-buffer.

I suppose if you built a new transporter type from the ground up instead of using these old starfleet or klingon modules, you could bypass the Bopple Corbulator entirely and the pattern buffer would accept the new parameters.

But who has time for that…

No, let’s remove them all.

The good cop is the one that quits after all their hopeful naivety that somehow survived “training” is sucked out on their first day.

“Freeing slaves just isn’t realistic. How about letting them out for fresh air first? How about a 3/5 compromise? Ridiculous”

I read this as “maximum breast gains” and while I can sympathize with wanting more in the breast department, it seems like a long way to go to gain a few cup sizes.

Legit every time someone from the US says “indian” and it’s not immediately obvious in context, I ask “do you mean people from India, or Native Americans?”

I mean, yeah, being required to do something or else you’ll be starving and homeless is pretty fucked up and worthy of a day being ruined.

Many of us are resisting, but there’s so much more in the way of organizing in the US that isn’t a problem in other countries.

I’d love for us to band together like I see France doing. Shut down entire cities just by simply being in the street protesting.

However, it’s a lot harder to get people together on something when half the people who want to help are one paycheck from being homeless and starving or dying from their untreated illness without Healthcare.

It’s harder to organize when the people who want to organize are spread out over 300 million square miles.

It’s harder to organize when historically any left-leaning group is constantly hounded by the Alphabet Squad (fbi/nsa/dhs/etc) and Republicans will abandon their guns before letting performative gasp a black man have one.

Many of us are resisting, but when 1/3 of the population is cheering this shit on, 1/3 can’t be bothered to make up their minds, and the entire system stacked against the remaining 1/3 that will at least vote for a chance at change.

Personally I’m helping network immigrants and their families near me so they have a plan of action if something happens and they need to leave quickly, physically protesting when I can, training firearms with some of the LGBT people I know, and trying to get some of the “on the fence” crowd I know to see reason.

It’s not much, but it’s what I can do without becoming just some dead nut job in the street.

I’d argue that with the government, we are there at face value, but the next level down “behind the lie”.

It’s very much to me felt like they’re saying these things knowing that nobody believes them, like when the stereotypical TV mob boss says something like “I’m broken up about the death of your brother” with a smirk. We all know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, and they’re daring us to do something about it.

And also I’d argue that for the MAGAts, they’re already a few pegs below the bottom. I’ve literally been called a terrorist this past week for pointing out Renee good was trying to turn away and leave, and Alex Pretti was unarmed and being beaten while not fighting back when he was executed.

Next they’ll ask why red barrels explode when you shoot them…

Genuine question: does the IDF even bother with “internal investigations”? Obviously nobody does, but do they even pretend?

I always deadpan people who say that, make my index/middle fingers to form a V shape, then force the corners of my mouth up.

You want a smile? Go find someone who’s happy. You want service? Don’t tell me what to do and I’m willing to try and help.

It usually got a chuckle, but sometimes the person would get uncomfortable and leave like they think I’m about to stab them or something.

Or I tell them my grandmother died.

Hey now we can both be uncomfortable and wishing you hadn’t said anything!

I wonder how difficult it would be to make a heating system directly powered by solar panels. It doesn’t have to be enough heat to make a person comfortable in a t-shirt, but just enough to allow normal battery operation.

I’m sure that depends on a lot of factors like shed insulation/wall facing direction, etc, and burying the battery bank would probably be more effective.
