I'd be the guy about to throw a grenade.

side question: are there actually any good ones?

question was prompted by seeing a "trumplestiltskin" variant that actually crammed a second pun in there and caused psychic damage. my brain has oublietted the specific phrase but maybe you've seen it too

Look at it's face. It calls to me.

Edit: I fucking ordered it, what's wrong with me?

What is going on, why did everyone think Israel cheated (they absolutely did, no proof needed), why can't Iceland do better, why is Israel there, and why isn't the winner Stereo Love every year?

Educate me. Is there more to the show or are people just doing a "Man Tyler Durden is so cool" type of missing the point.

Do you have a fade?

Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen: Renegades

July 24, 2022

Driving a 1960 Corvette at the home of singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen was, said former President Barack Obama, "one of the highlights of my time on this farm ... getting behind the wheel of this mean machine!"

[...]

The friendship between the two men started in 2008: "Bruce Springsteen decided to charitably help out some not-very-well-known new U.S. senator who had the audacity to run for president," Mr. Obama said. Over time, that friendship deepened, a friendship Mr. Obama once characterized like so: "I am the President. He is the Boss."

And in 2020, they sat down together for a couple of days at Springsteen's New Jersey farm to talk about their lives, and our world. Those conversations became a podcast, and then a book: "Renegades: Born in the USA".

Keep in mind that owls are notoriously stanky

"What do you mean 'started'?"

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I want to clarify that I'm talking about open mass-killings in the vein of Sharpeville or Bloody Sunday.

Reading and seeing the public's reactions to things like the gassings and beatings at pro-Palestine encampments, BLM protestors getting run over, Kyle Rittenhouse's victims, etc. it seems like the American people take an open and ghoulish delight in protestors getting brutalized, maimed, and killed. Go to any video or article about these things happening, and the comments section is an endless parade of the worst people imaginable cheering and hollering for it with extremely little or no pushback. It's depressingly consistent.

It just gives me this horrible feeling that one day the police are going to unload into a crowd of protestors and leave a mass of bodies in their wake, the American people will hoot and clap and cheer about how the victims got what they deserved, and that'll become the new MO. The only reason they aren't already doing this is fear it might make them look bad, and if it doesn't end up making them look bad in the eyes of the public, then there isn't a single thing stopping them.

Socdem is bad because capitalism etc etc I understand that, but I saw some people in here saying that socdem is OBJECTIVELY the moderate branch of fascism, which I don't really understand, because most socdems I know just want their basic welfare system, but are far from nationalism, advocating for genocide etc

I know it's still bad but for example in spain I feel there's a big difference between the francoist spain and the socdem wannabe spain, for the better

So please explain, and feel free to call out any brainworms that I might (probably) have shown in here

This could also just be a very funny line, like the "unlimited genocide on the first world" thing, idk

What is it about turtles that make humans go "but what if big?"

Dragon turtles, world turtles, genbu, the black turtle of the North, Gamera. Why big turtles?

Does it mean what I think it means?

is it just wanking? If so, why are people talking about it

Edit - turns out that yes, it is just wanking lol

Edit Edit - honestly, I find it strange that so many of these things have special words. 'edging' , 'creampie' , and now 'gooning'. These are all very mundane activities, lads

I've been applying constantly, I've got references, I have previous work experience, I got resume help what can I possibly be doing wrong

new insane strat to never need to shave?

I was going to a Community College but then I got told to kick sand for fiananical aid and... now Im not able to go to school anymore :/ (long story there made short, tried everything I could but nothing worked out)

I've been working on getting some coursera certificates and studying for the CompTIA certificate but I'm wondering if I'm even going to have a shot at landing a job without a degree to help me out.

I know about Windows Server Management (worked a shit ton with VMs in classes) daily drive Linux, do some real amateur game development on the side on my own so I know how to code, not great but I have experience there. Any advice on how to give myself a better shot?

Should mention that I do live in a big ass blue state city if thats helpful, and I am trans-fem but I seem to pass well enough to not get misgendered but still a little weary about putting myself out there >_>

This is something that has been bothering me from the start of the so called SMO. Europe relied on gas flowing through Ukraine pipelines. Couldn't Russia just have stopped the flow, and forgone the war?
