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

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

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.

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…

If I’m only allowed one type of pencil it’s good old #2 (I’m more of a pen snob)

Was milk of the poppy not obviously literally opium (unrefined morphine)?

Cyanide is legendarily fast acting. Among the fastest known poisons.

Thallium was pretty famous for this until its mechanism of toxicity and antidotes were better understood. Slow acting, tasteless, odorless, colorless, symptoms weird and mimic other things. Used to be used for rat poison but the risk of accidental exposure was too high. Requires late 1800s technology.

This is just inherent to the history of games stemming from arcades. If you “finished” the game you had to insert more coins again, basically every game was structured so that if you “won” you kept playing until you finally lost, setting a high score.

Shot and bombed, oh yeah, and they and their families were SET ON FIRE AND BURNED ALIVE

It still does actually, tanking the resale value will dramatically cut into new car sales. Encouraging current owners to sell absolutely does have an affect.

(It also raises insurance premiums for Tesla’s, also hurting their market)
