Don't forget all the sailors doing the blowjob dance to 'In The Navy'.

Yep. It's a little tedious to complain about it for so many years, I mean I don't want TNCR to be to that sort of discrimination what it is to Donald Trump. That would make it nearly unreadable, as I'm sure we can all imagine. If I had been personally touched by that sort of discrimination, you can be sure I'd have been talking about it a lot more. But I haven't been, even as a person with a brain stem and thus aware that the discrimination exists. One twist to the original Jacob Savage piece, which I haven't read, is that it's in a left-wing publication, and it ends with the author regretting not simply accepting his fate and finding a more boring job that is less discriminated against for people who look like him. I heard it called a "permission piece", where a left-leaning outlet admits something difficult for them to admit, but in a way that it's still ok.

You can imagine instructing your car to go charge itself and come back while you’re in a store or something.

The good news about erectile dysfunction is it can be cured with a good diet and exercise. The hard part is getting your wife to actually do it.

There used to be a conservative commentator (forgot which) who would make points about social programs failing by showing how their desired effects either didn’t show up in the data or worse, the opposite effect was shown in the data. He would put a graph of poverty rates in his article, for example, and ask ‘can you tell when the war on poverty started? Well…. https://x.com/joni_askola/status/2003152698078822670?s=46

The art of the con.

I just a pill where you can eat anything and your body only absorbs the nutrients you need and discards the rest! But I suppose a hunger repressing pill is 2nd best.

Insightful examples. Maybe it just changes how we prompt for answers but even today when Gemini spits out a long answer I still have to, ugh, read it.

The self proclaimed Emporer, Donaldoofus Trumpsterus is at it again…. Envoys are informal appointments and unlike official diplomats, do not have to be approved by the host country. What this appointment shows is that Trump's ambition to control Greenland remains undimmed. As with his military and rhetorical aggression towards Venezuela, it indicates Trump is determined to gain greater control over what his recent National Security Strategy called "the Western hemisphere", a sphere of influence that he hopes will cover the whole of the Americas. Trump tried to buy Greenland during his first presidential term. Both Denmark and the Greenlandic government rejected the 2019 proposal, saying: "Greenland is not for sale." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgmd132ge4o

Helps to solidify his efforts to ensure higher long-term energy prices.

Sounds suspicious. Are they also olive oil importers?

By the third question I was bored to death.

@89th said in So let me get this straight…: Anyone who falsifies data or lies to the public should be immediately fired. I don’t disagree…

I think easy cheating is dropping the leading ‘9’ from organic foods (or selecting the non-organic option from the menu) since you can feign ignorance if caught. One time I accidentally didn’t take out the item from the bottom of my cart (I think it was paper towels), scanned everything else, put the bags in my cart, and headed out. Then I noticed it and went back to scan the big item in a separate transaction. That would have been another possibility with plausible deniability. You could theoretically steal some real $ that way, a big fat organic turkey for example.

The question answers itself, Ax. Nah just kidding. My boy did a year or two of set construction himself.

I forgot number four: 4 - There can be no other Christian answer, due to the infallibility of [my interpretation of] the Bible. (With the part in brackets implied not stated)

No lima beans?

Well, I think that if common engineering sense tells you that it can't really make a difference, and nobody can reliably identify a difference in a blind test, and you are still buying it, then it means you've crossed a border you probably shouldn't have crossed. I hear that "audiophiles" also invest a fortune into cables that carry digital signals - where it's technically impossible that a better cable, regardless of how sophisticated or expensive, can make any difference at all.

Speaking of fights, apparently Andrew Tate got his ass kicked by a gay dude wearing pink gloves and the menswear guy is trolling him for it. [image: 1766299182357-img_9358.jpeg]
