Cartoons are based on exaggeration, but this one is accurate insofar as Melania would make more money than most people as a prostitute, in some theoretical world where she made a living that way.

Replacement theory in action.

At first I thought "well, maybe some nice houses or apartments will open up."   Then I thought "wait, some might open up, but who wants to live in a shitty trailer in Mississippi?"

Soft hands. Phony cowboy. Obnoxious cigar. Face looks like it's never been in sunlight. Rustic man cave. 

Nothing insecure about this guy. Got badass written all over him.

Ben meet Ben.

Lookin' kinda soft, son. It's okay. Just go back inside where it's cool.

Nice. I was working on something like consort versus courtesan. The former isn't a word quite good enough while the latter is a little too good.

 

Also, I just googled his name to find that cartoon. I was looking for something typical and that was right at the top. First time I've ever seen it. I think if I were to go through pages and pages of his "work," I'd be compelled to race to get to him before he suffocates so I could put that cigar out in his eye. And I'm not violent person.

You could look Donald Trump dead in the eye and say, "By the way, I love your beautiful European courtesan." 

And he would look around behind him, at some piece of gold furniture or leather-bound table accessory and say, "Why thank you.  Yes, I had it handmade in Italy."

I dunno. You get a shitty trailer in Mississippi, you can rebrand that as a "Hunting Camp." Thing is, you might not get a shitty trailer in Mississippi. You could mess up and get a gated community McMansion in Mississippi where your surviving neighbors demand to know why you weren't with them at the school board meeting, screaming against masks.

They'd be wearing hoods. The masks that only cover their mouth and nose are for pussies.

My BIL’s step brother died of Covid this morning. Early 40s, unvax.  Wife is pregnant with twins and she found out while he was hospitalized. He never knew. 
 

BIL and his family finally got vaccinated when the step brother went into the hospital a few weeks ago. Hell of a wake up call.

I will never understand why so many people must learn all their lessons the hard way.  Sometimes, yeah I get it, you learn better by failing first, but this one is a pretty easy one to skip the hard lesson because the teachers have made the answer key public.

[TheStoicPaisano 9953]

Uncle died a a couple weeks back. He made it to 78, amazingly given all the kolaczki he drove into his gut. Obituary says “loved to talk conservative politics.” I hope his kids/grandkids take precautions. Won’t speculate on vax status.

Because.  They are.   FUCKING MORONS.

Don't overthink it.  These are people who, if we saw them careening down the road at 100 mph the wrong way, as we screamed at them "slow down and turn around, you're going the wrong way!"....would say "fuck you, libtard," and see if they could jam the pedal down further to hit 120 mph.

 

Except not a single on of them is as decent a human being as John Candy was.

Found out recently that a married female relative is having an affair, she is fucking her also married neighbor.

Her adult children have known for a while, and she did a bad job hiding it, but in hindsight I should have realized it when the two of them got Covid the same week.

As an experiment, a couple of times I have handed out a "practice test" for students to work on. I'd tell them it was similar to what they'd see on the real test. I'd go over any questions in class.

It was similar, alright, like 100% similar. It was the actual test. So on test day they'd get the same one. Know what happened?

 

 

 

 

 

You know exactly what happened.

One of my colleagues will work a sample problem on the board right before a test (and leave it up on the whiteboard), give out the test with the same sample problem (still up on the board), and then laugh at all the students who miss it.

My sociology professor (Rick Roderick) at Texas did this.  He also had a rule that during the test, if anyone asked you for the answer, you HAD to give it to them.  If you didn't, he would automatically fail you.  Guess what?  Same results.  It was a "gateway" class that I somehow got enrolled in.  A lot of ball players and kids from small towns across Texas.  Sat behind Leonard Davis.  Couldn't see shit.

That's a mindfuck for the kids who study and did the actual practice test.  I bet some of them were double and triple checking answers because they didn't believe it was the same.  Devious.

This reminds me that winter is coming, and people will be spending a lot more time indoors. 

It'll suck for the few fully vaccinated who'll get breakthrough infections. But just think about how the average IQ will get boosted with the number of anti-vaxxers dying off.

Sorry if I disturbed the A students a little, but I don't feel much kinship with the over-achievers either. My favorites are the chilled-out B and C students, they are taking in the info, but not obsessing. A grenade comes flying in the window, they don't sleep through it like an F student, they don't argue about whether it should be there, like an A student, they just go, "Oh, grenade," and they throw the thing back outside.

Man….this pisses me off. I had the worst attributes of both A students and mediocre ones. I was absolutely the kind of intellectual pointy-headed academic who would argue about whether it should really be there. But I was also a lazy SOB more interested in beer and girls than doing actual work, so I was just a high B student.

Back to Covid, for anybody who has friends or loved ones who have been slack about precautions, don't give up, do what you can to get them to tighten up. The best way is to lead by example. With maybe a hint of "you could be a bastard, but you're being nice if they'll let you."

IIRC, you were a Plan II undergrad who managed to weasel your way into UT law school.  I’m sure you were a mediocre student.

Not sure how RDCane would've felt about me as a student, but I kinda cheated. Went off to France for a year and boned up on my French, came back pretty fluent, and cruised in all my French classes with easy A's so I made that my major...at Tceh. Partied, got the girls, AND graduated early with high honors. Even got some German in for a minor and got to spend a summer there, culminating in a wild ride to Amsterdam to serve as a translator for some Belgian Walloon college students who didn't speak English and wanted to try weed for the first time. Best three years of my life.

Tried a year at being a TA at Tceh while half-assing an MA in Linguistics, followed by a year of teaching HS. Said "fuck that," so I enrolled at UT for my masters in urban planning which led me to the middling career I have today.

Let’s not forget about the children who pay for the obscenely selfish acts of their parents:

Now, an additional 1.5 million kids have lost their parents, grandparents or other caregivers to COVID-19, a new study estimates. 

Of those children, nearly 114,000 are from the U.S., according to the paper published Tuesday in The Lancet. The U.S. ranks fourth with the most kids orphaned by COVID-19 deaths, behind Mexico, Brazil and India.
