  1. You just described why I will not shop at Walmart. Walmart came to my hometown when I was in high school. Within a year, the entire downtown district was boarded up except a jewelry store and a mexican restaurant. The hardware store, the clothing stores, the office supply store, all out of business. Walmart picked up their money and deposited it in the local bank every day and it would sit there for 15-30 minutes before it got auto-wired out to Bentonville, so even the local bank didn't get an opportunity to earn anything off that money. Oh, and eventually the Walmart decided that decimating the local business of the town was a-ok, but they weren't making enough money on that store anymore so they shut down operations. Now my hometown has no Walmart and no mom and pop stores either. On the bright side, it's only a 40 minute drive to Lubbock to actually do some shopping.
  2. This guy is fucking damaged. #1, Vanilla Ice was never awesome. #2, notice how he's making sure you know it's his birthday just in case you didn't so you can make sure to also give him a birthday shoutout. You know, you, a person he doesn't know, but he still needs your attention and your shoutouts. Because he's damaged. Between this and Lin Wood and Herschel tweets in other threads and seeing all the homeless camps around Austin when I left the house yetserday, I think we really need to get serious about solving our mental health crisis in this country.
  3. Between Lin Wood and Herschel Walker, it feels like we're spending a lot of time on this page looking at the twitter feeds of people with brain injuries. I can't decide if we should make fun of them or not.
  4. I have to say if I was gullible enough to believe that dominion bullshit above I’m pretty sure I’d have already jumped.
  5. When I first got my MBA, I was working for a manager who did not have one. He would always introduce me to customers as having an MBA and himself as have an MBA in hard knocks. Guy should've been selling used cars. Really hated that guy. When I quit working for him, I changed his name to shitass on my phone so if he ever called me a again I'd get a good laugh and hit decline.
  6. Yeah faced down and took out the mafia, now spends his time face down ass up for Trump. Crazy town.
  7. I was intrigued when I thought he had a picture of a dick tattooed somewhere on his body. I was like, "Tell me more!" Then I read more and realized he was saying he had a tattoo on his dick. Now I'm like, "No, no thank you."
  8. Well to be fair, he's not lying about that. He hasn't stood for the anthem in years!
  9. You know, there was a time I was super uptight about other people seeing me in the shower. That was back when I was in the closet and I was afraid of what kinds of feelings it might arouse in me to know that other guys were looking at me as a sexual object. This is feeling a lot like my fears back then, just on a larger scale. His imagination is a lot more vivid than mine. I was just worried I'd accidentally get excited about the wrong sex at the wrong time, his scenario includes a whole Alaska/Canada backstory. But let's be honest. Trump supporters by and large don't have the bodies that would lead to anyone wanting to see them unclothed, male or female.
  10. I first read that as Scranton, and was wondering if you thought Dunder Mifflin was a real thing. RIP sua sponte.
  11. Grooveline Horns are the shit and you should feel ashamed if you haven't caught them in a show.
  12. I watched a documentary about this the other day so I know. Pepe the Frog was some dorky art guy's cartoon and Pepe was a cute little laid back stoner/surfer type frog. 4chan began using it in memes and then as a goof started trying to get Trump elected. In the way that they do, the 4chan uber nerds kept upping the ante to get shock value so pepe became more and more nazi like and less and less sufter/stoner like over time in their memes. This drew in the actual white nationalists who adopted Pepe as an actual white nationalist symbol. While all this was going on, one of several of the memes being produced over there included REEEE as the word being yelled by cartoons that are being portrayed as screaming. Then later someone found Youtube videos of actual frogs being picked up and screaming and it sounding a lot like REEEEE and so now REEEE has become a pepe the frog/white nationalist thing. This documentary was on PBS like a month ago, it was pretty good, though I can't remember the name.
  13. I'd argue any man that would dress in either one of those outfits has to be pretty fucking strong because they are going to catch shit from all over. For example, see Candace Owens using nicer words to call him a fag for putting on a dress. 1,2,2,x,x
  14. LOL Would love to hear those taunts. Was it higher brow or was it more like "tell my how my ass taste".
  15. This was a fantastic thread, that linked to another great thread, that linked to a great article. https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-long-con I've been concerned about this for a good long while, and I think this is the first time I've started to see that there might be a path to overcome, as he puts it, the "multi-billion-dollar parallel reality machine." I'm intrigued.
  16. What do they have on this guy to get him to flip so completely? It can’t be the gay thing because 90% of people already believe that.
  17. It'd be a lot better if it was inside a dildo shop.
  18. They always have been....But you probably mean something different than they do. When you say activist judge, you are talking about having a desired outcome and twisting the law to fit their desired outcome. What they mean is a judge decided something in a way they disagree with.
  19. I have told both sets of family that we've already had to cancel a family visit to see the hubby's family this year due to COVID and it'd be a shame to have to cancel our Christmas visit as well, so they need to quarantine for 2 weeks before whatever day we show up as does anyone that would be there. None of my family is willing to do that, even though they are all officially retired, so looks like we won't be attending this year. I have told them that we're happy to celebrate Christmas with them after we've finished the vaccine regimen, and hopefully that will be in time for the QVC Christmas in July programming so we'll at least get to have some holiday spirit on the teevee when we are there. I have not told them that if we had real national/state leadership, this never would've gotten as out of control and therefore we could've had Christmas this year if they demanded competency of their leaders rather than just team affiliation. I'm saving that one for the next time they start bitching about us not showing up for Christmas.
  20. How many people are working there that a van full of food won't feed them all? You can fit a whole bunch of trays of food into a van. I'd wager enough to feed several hundred. And there were multiple vans. What qualifications does this woman possess that would allow her to be the definitive expert of how many trays of food could fit into a van anyway? Is she some sort of math wizard with an expert knowledge of the total cargo area of the types of vans that were being used there? And, does she have x-ray vision to know that there for sure wasn't food there, oh and if there wasn't food, what is she implying was in those vans? She never comes right out and says it, but she took the time to tell us twice she was there for 24 hours straight.
  21. I am not a Twitter user, but I find it hard to believe that the act of blocking would be irrevocable. Can’t you just unblock him and do it yourself?
