  1. Which is why, as the mob broke through the Capitol doors, my immediate shout at the radio was "they have to shoot them, they have to shoot them NOW!" The choice not to open fire on a mob of violent terrorists openly bent on assassinating members of Congress and overthrowing the government was the pivotal mistake that meant death to the Republic. A nation must defend itself with full and lethal force in such circumstance, or demonstrate it to be a tissue-paper-weak entity that can be destroyed with minimal effort. We chose poorly. And it means our death as a country.
  2. So, postal services all over the world are suspending shipping of parcels to the US. Of particular interest to me (because in 2025 America, things only matter if they affect you directly), my kids living in the UK and Germany can no longer send me any packages. So, that's cool. One thing I can't find is whether the removed tariff exemption (the $800 de minimis exemption) applies to goods carried by a person when passing through customs. Like, when my wife lands today from our visit to London, and she has some snacks and small gifts in her bag (probably worth under $250 total), does she need to declare them and pay a tariff? Seriously, I legit don't know. EDIT - just did a bit of homework, and it seems that the personally carried items exemption is under a different statute that is (thus far) not affected by Trump's executive orders. This is all just so fucking stupid.
  3. My first real job was waiting tables at a Red Lobster. I never cremated anyone there. I was also young and naive, and didn't realize that the life-worn chainsmoking career waitress with a rose tattoo wanted to take me back to her place on my last night working there to....teach me things. I was clueless. Idiot. In fairness, I was a teenager. And also, an idiot.
  4. Fuck yes. And some of the best italian food I've had....was in a decommissioned Dairy Queen. "Used to be a" is a great place for family restaurants.
  5. “NO GESTAPO IN BASTROPO” turned into “WE WELCOME THE GESTAPO TO BASTROPO” in an instant. Seems they were never worried about authoritarian presidents at all. They’re just scared of the negroes.
  6. "And to show you how sincere our anti-woke attitude is, we've added calluses to Uncle Herschel's hands, which he earned by doing the hard work of whooping uppity negroes who didn't know their place. Just doing his part to Make America Great Again."
  7. Seriously. Bribe a Russian captain, tell him you're getting around sanctions. He gets $5 million now, $5 million when the cargo arrives....unopened and untouched. He will have already bought $10 million of vodka in his mind when he docks, and the containers' roofs pop off to launch the salvo.
  8. Blue states need to start creating their own militaries, and deploying them in opposition to the federal invasion. No orders to engage. Just local forces, fulfilling their duty. Dare the feds to open fire on local forces who just happen to be blockading the road Trump's troops want to go down. Create the opportunity for the fascists to go too far and lose legitimacy. Do it over and over. They can't help themselves, so give them the rope to hang themselves.
  9. If Jacque tells me to do it that way, imma do it that way. Dude is a god. I never watch one of his videos without going "fucking hell, he makes it all look so easy."
  10. "Engineering ethics." In 2025. Dude. You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded. "Engineering ethics." That's a fucking good one.
  11. Whatever. Technology makes everything better. Why do you hate progress, libtard? Seriously....taking all humanity and morality out of the mix (which is an inevitability with a non-sentient intelligence), what could go wrong? At the end of the day, AI is just math. Just more 1s and 0s spitting out more 1s and 0s. We are in the process of turning over the most human of our thinking and functions to it, and all of the things that can go wrong, especially morally, are starting to happen. It's not like we need to conjure up such scenarios; sci fi writers have been doing a damned fine job of spotting these weaknesses for 100 years or so. It's all there for the reading. But we're going to make ALL of the mistakes anyway, because the greatest force in the universe is actually human hubris.
  12. Whatever, dude. Rabbis are well-known anti-semites. Duh.
  13. Had him for Plan II physics. Yet again, his was a class I naively walked into thinking "how hard could this be? F=MA and shit, right?" Then he immediately starts in on relativity and quantum shit. First exam, I got a 17....and with a curve, that was a B. A 21 got you an A. Furk. Had to bust my ass for my B in that class. It was really fascinating, though, and he was a genuinely amazing teacher, even if it all largely baffled me.
  14. It's like you've never even SEEN a small town insurance office in the old Pizza Hut. Or a funeral home. https://usedtobeapizzahut.com/
  15. I'm sorry. I hate him so, so much. Mea culpa. BTW, my retainer for such matters is tree fiddy.
  16. It's more than one photo, dude, and you know it. QE is openly and proudly MAGA. Tell us, what do MAGAs generally believe and support? I'm not the one supporting a movement built in cruelty. So, I'm comfortable about my position on political dysfunction. Don't start shit, won't be shit.
  17. What do MAGAs support? Tell us. And where, oh where, would I get the idea that they support the regime nabbing people on the street, subjecting them to violent arrest, for no crime OTHER than a suspected immigration violation, then shipping them off to CECOT for torture without providing for due process? Gosh. It's a mystery. I guess I just made it up. You excusing MAGAs (and you becoming one) is what enables this shit. Shit people doing shit things, and getting rewarded for it. That's how you kill a society, and fast.
  18. What does the MAGA movement stand for? Here's a hint...they have fucking told us, over and over and over and over and over and over again. ICE gestapo rounding up brown people anywhere and everywhere by any means necessary and tossing them in CECOT is what they want (how do we know this? Again...they have told us...and then when Trump does those actual things....they support him even more). QE is MAGA. MAGA and Trump are all about hurting anyone and everyone they deem to be an "other." It is their foundational belief (well, that, and lying about everything imaginable, even shit that doesn't matter). That's who QE is. He should get a taste of his own medicine.
  19. Some of you need to stop giving shit people who take genuine pleasure in the suffering of others a fucking pass and a license to be shit people. Maybe, just maybe, have a standard of "other people suffering is bad," so this shit doesn't gain purchase from the get-go. Because once society embarks full-scale on "nope, taking pleasure from the pain of others," then there's no end to that game that doesn't involve those same people taking their own goddamned medicine.
  20. And there's where you have yet another massive swing and a miss. I have (and had) plenty of issue with W. But I sure as shit didn't and don't think that he wanted to end the Constitutional Republic and end free and fair elections and such (I'm disappointed with his silence during the Trump regime). FFS, immigration is actually an issue that W was damned near perfect on (he was defeated, of course....by your guys who really, really need foreign enemies to rally against). I've always been anti-authoritarian. Interestingly, for a long time, that actually saw me align more with GOP leaders. And then....inshittification, and cowards who used to be for things like free trade, free speech, and the rule of law.....happily abandoned those things in a fit of servile, pathetic simping, all to feed the hate engine. I gotta admit, my failure and embarrassment was that I naively didn't see it coming until it was too late. What I also didn't see was how many people would happily embrace it.
  21. Huh? I have a pretty stout and wide knife - pretty similar to a santoku. So, my hand pressing down doesn't come anywhere near the actual sharp side, and the sharp side never hits the board. And as dcbc noted, it's just a little thump. I've cut myself plenty of times over the years, but never even come close to doing so while using the flat of the knife to smash some garlic.
  22. I think that those who support inflicting pain on others should see it inflicted upon themselves, as an outcome of cosmic justice. I just made that up. I think I'll call it "karma." Yep, it's my totally original idea, nobody has ever had it before or tied it to any sort of cosmic justice or whatnot. Interesting that you don't call people who cackle with glee at seeing innocent people thrown to the ground, shipped off to foreign detention centers with zero due process, etc. "fucking lunatics." Nope, the only "fucking lunatics" are the people who say "huh....maybe those people should see the same pain brought upon themselves." Perfection.
  23. I mean....Godwin himself has pulled back on Godwin's law. MAYBE if your dude stopped running plays pulled, virtually unchanged, from the national socialism playbook, he wouldn't draw the nazi comparisons. Maybe if one of the primary architects of his regime didn't openly state that all 65 million hispanics in the US need to go. Maybe if his regime didn't deem the political opposition to be a domestic terror organization or somesuch. Maybe if his regime didn't pursue the openly fascist policy of state control of private enterprises. Etc. times 100,000 other examples. Nope. You're good with the fucking GOVERNMENT attacking a garden-variety rebranding decision as "woke," because everything you don't like is "woke" (which is, of course, the world's worst cover for "why can't we just get back to everything being about white people and only white people?") The regime simultaneously threatens to deport all hispanics, while also lamenting white people not having a spot of supremacy in every possible way, even ways that don't even make fucking sense (it's a goddamn mediocre restaurant logo). You are on the enshittification side, and pushing on the gas.
  24. You are fucking insane. Again....there is not a single fucking thing this admin could do that you won't excuse. The fucking White House. Is trolling the logo change of an insignificant roadside biscuit joint. Attacking it NOT as a silly rebranding or basic marketing failure....but rather that it's "woke." The highest office in the land is the living embodiment of a meme of utter stupidity: And you defend it. Enshittification is you. And your utterly moronic analogy MIGHT have some legs if CB had changed its logo and said something....ANYTHING....about changing it because of MAGA culture or whatnot. They didn't. They didn't say a goddamned think like that to provoke ANY of the ire the insane fucking regime is sending their way. It's a made-up issue by an insane, sick, twisted, and cruel man with a completely broken brain, and half of America loves it, because half of America is deeply, deeply shitty.
