A genuinely, thoroughly reprehensible piece of human effluent. If she has kids they almost certainly hate her. Her lonely aged years will probably be the only consequence she faces for her despicable behaviour, but I guess it’s better than nothing.

Many newer fabrics don’t require ironing, or not as much of it at least. Newer washing machines and driers, as well as newer fabric softeners and detergents, seem to play a role in the non-wrinkliness of clothing, too.

I rarely own anything that would require regular ironing these days. I tend to avoid buying clothing that looks like it would be a pain in the ass to keep wrinkle-free. I guess in our parents’ era there ware no such choices available.

Plastic in clothing might have circumvented the need for ironing, but of course it has brought its own issues. Plastic might be an apocalyptic death substance, or it might actually be fine to have 5% of our bodyweight to be nylon. Not sure which yet.

Why always Ivermectin? 😭 Is someone in the Trump admin on the board of directors for the manufacturer?

There are tens of thousands of not millions of medications - both for humans and animals - but they always zero in on this fucking dewormer.

Is our collective memory of this trope (man ties woman to train tracks) all based on one instance of it in one silent movie, or was it really as widespread a cliché as it seems to us nowadays? 🤔

They’re banking on severe vendor lock-in preventing people from moving on. So many communities are solely on Discord now, it’s insane.

Would something like Stoat (previously known as Revolt) eventually have the same requirements?

Kid Rock makes music for people who listen to Kid Rock.

Michael Wolff seems like the kinda guy who’d ask to borrow your pen, use it, and then place it in his pocket. “Can I have my pen back?” you’d ask. He’d respond with “what pen?” and walk away.

I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.

This is the sound of deep, deep, profound, deep insecurity chasing a man down a never-ending alleyway peppered with neon signs that say “Unattractive to Women?”, “Easily Bullied By Other Men?”, “GAY???”

I hope he does serious prison time for his crimes, because it will be extra enjoyable knowing that it’s literally the worst place he could ever find himself. No escaping one’s own mind in that place.

We expected it to be more than that, actually. If it’s $700, that’s pretty good. It’s not a Switch. It’s a prebuilt gaming PC in a tiny form factor. Building a gaming PC today with the same horsepower would probably set you back a lot more than that, and you’ll also have a giant tower taking up space.

It’s not for me, but I can think of at least 3 people in my family who would get a lot of value out of it at that price point. No PC-building headaches, no researching every bit of hardware and comparing prices and performance, no tedious planning of the cooling layout, no thermal paste, no separate warranties and RMA headaches for every individual component, no Windows bullshit, not needing an entire corner of the room just for the tower, perfect for the living room, driver and software updates that apply to and work for every customer, I could go on. I don’t see any downside for the average gamer. Sure, if you’re an FPS penny pincher who simply has to OC and have the best of the best and latest hardware, it’ll not appeal to you. But that’s a minority of gamers.

$700 is a dream. $1,000 is reasonable in the current climate I guess, but pushing it a little. $1,500 would be unfortunate, but it really depends on what extra value the system comes with from Valve. I wanna know their RMA and warranty plans. If they’re anything north of “Kafkaesque”, which is how it is with virtually every other hardware manufacturer/reseller, the extra money might actually be worth it, for one’s mental health. If they send out a replacement unit before you have to return a defective one, for example, that would be enough to justify a little more cost, but that’s coming from someone with a long and storied history of nightmarish, abusive RMA practices. I’d suck a dog’s dirty dick to not have to go through that shit again.

Because ‘Headquarters 69’ would be too cringe, fr fr no cap.

Is there some way we can make this more likely to occur? Maybe some AI videos of clergy calling him a shitty-pantsed child molester with small hands and short skyscrapers?

Seriously. Look, the piece of shit is in the oval office already, that ship has sailed. But we might actually have a good use for the cunt in this case. Let’s make the most of it!

I can’t do small talk or general chat, but I can do meta. I can talk about how awkward it is to talk to strangers, for example. That feels like information exchange, as opposed to a complex two-person dance where I don’t have rhythm or sufficiently-malleable limbs, which is what small talk feels like to me. The goal of small talk seems to be the process itself. If we’re instead ‘educating’ each other about something, and that information is the ultimate goal, I’m much more comfortable.

While I don’t think she herself had anything to do with Epstein, the fact that people in her entourage did is its own problem. If I had a member of my team who tried to hook me up with an already-convicted paedophile, I would have to wonder what sort of operation I was running and what sort of people were buzzing around me. I’d have to wonder why they thought I’d be OK with it.

I sure as fuck don’t.

Is there a sadder, more pathetic, more wretched side-character who lives for the attention of celebrities than Ian Miles Cheong? He lives in Malaysia, but seems singularly devoted to MAGA. A movement that would bury him upside down in a hole if he ever tried to migrate there, legally or not.

I try to imagine what the day to day life of a person like that is. I imagine him living in utter squalor, with a flickering bare lightbulb swinging in the breeze above his head from the drafts spewing in through every crooked window frame of his shack. With his 100 open browser tabs for each of his fake Elon-sucking accounts. Suicidally-depressed except for the 8-second dopamine hit he gets on the occasions when Elon acknowledges his existence. A fungal infection of a human.

Also, lol:

That pizza cutter feels almost racist in this context 😆 If Luigi was named Paddy Murphy, would he have brought a potato masher instead?

Cops have a stressful, often life-threatening job, no doubt. But so do a lot of people. My family has a history of working in psychiatric lock-ups with extremely violent mentally ill and developmentally abnormal patients, most of whom are being held because of murders and rapes they’ve committed (usually of their own families), and who would murder you if they had the chance/inclination to do so, because they simply don’t know any better. The nurses don’t carry firearms, they’re trained with a few restraining grappling technique and a lot of deescalation tactics. They don’t even have tasers. Put an armed cop in that situation and you’d have a ward full of corpses within a few days. Hell, put a regular prison guard in that situation and you’d have a similar outcome. But my family members aren’t MMA experts, and have never been [seriously] injured in their job. They’ve been properly trained, that’s all. Cops are trained like they’re being shipped off to 'Nam in 1969 to fight an unseen, non-uniformed enemy.
