Oh yeah? Then why am I always angry at everyone all the time?!

Boom. Scienced!

I've worn garbage bags to make weight. I thought I was crazy for doing that. I feel better now because this is way worse.

I see he's taking a page from Alex Jones's bible.

Anyway, what are the chances that someone's going to come forward that Carlson assaulted them and they fought back? Just asking questions.

I know, but when you're in the actual situation then you start asking yourself "am I really gonna hit my 80-something year-old great-aunt?" And you start realizing that the cops are definitely gonna get called and then there's gonna be even more Nazis around you and that the new ones have a trigger-happy reputation.

Sure, the system has been abused to the point that it does deserve to be overthrown, but do the people underneath that system deserve that kind of anarchy?

Ironically, in an ideal world, I'd likely be an anarchist, but true anarchism can't exist in a world with billionaires. The fact is, when we expanded to such large civilizations with an unnatural necessity to control large swathes of groups, we built a self-abusing system that generally benefits from hurting us.

Use whatever idioms you want, unringing bells, toothpaste in tubes, etc. We're all in a stupidly precarious situation and the only way out requires a massive form of unrealistic cooperation.

I know a Holocaust survivor who is horrified by everything going on in Israel and Palestine. I also am related to deceased Holocaust survivors and their children, grandchildren, cousins, etc. all seem to think this situation is pretty awesome. They call the Palestinians animals and other terrible things and talk like it's all political and say that people who disagree with them are brainwashed and unintelligent.

I can't be 100% certain, but I think I now understand what it was like to sit at a table with burgeoning Nazis and Nazi-supporters and I'm sad to say that I failed the test. Yes, I argued, I disagreed, and I walked away, but I'm starting to get why everyone didn't just attack the Nazis in Germany. What do you do when you recognize a Nazi but that Nazi helped raise you and didn't seem to be a Nazi until they suddenly doubled down on the wrong choice?

What's unfortunate about it? Dude looks like Miles Davis to me

All of my dogs have loved our current vet. I've tried a couple other vets that were closer to me at different times, and my current vet is the only one that our dogs have been excited to visit in the 20 years since we met her.

Shut the fuck up, Tim Walz would NEVER do anything so scandalous! Granted, he's obviously not as wholesome as someone who poses with a fake family or insulting their wife's culture and bragging on live tv about telling their children to shut up

While the "caste iron cookware" sounds fascinating, I'm mostly interested in these "navel ships"

Please don't edit your comment, the mental images I'm getting from it are fantastic

Hopefully this is the right place to post:

I've been trying to help my mother declutter her house, primarily of the stuff my father left behind when he died nearly a decade ago. I recently found a good number of discs for Mac from pre-OS X. I unfortunately don't have any running old Macs anymore and have neither the time or space to do anything with them.

I hate tossing out anything that someone else could use and selling my dad's stuff makes me feel gross. If anyone is willing to cover shipping, I'd be more than happy to send them whatever Mac games I come across.
