    RFK Jr ridiculed as he promotes strange fitness initiative topless with Kid Rock

    Jump

  • Same. I started to like him when he appeared on David Letterman a lot. He seemed genuine and funny. I learned more about him some years ago when he dropped out of public life. People were worried and thought he was being held hostage or died. It was very weird.

    Turns out he was doing great and died in 2024, possibly while dressed as Barbara Striesand*. We should all be so lucky.

    *(Wikipedia says he did a social media post with a photo dressed as Barbara Striesand and was found dead minutes later.)

  • I think of the method this guy used as "The Sarah Palin method" because she once did a news interview while people were killing turkeys in the background that way.

  • What if it's a torx instead? People have to buy torx bits to work on their car.

  • I don't see how it could be effective. The brand specific things I mentioned are almost identical and none of them stop people from repairing their car. The BMW design is simpler than the ones I mentioned. A flat screwdriver with a gap cut down the middle would work.

  • I don't really know. I purposely picked the things I mentioned because they're similar to the BMW bolt, but the tools required are cheap and simple for all of them.

    Part of my point was that there are other, more complicated and more expensive tools that are brand specific too. I think a lot of it is really just the nature of the beast. Brands do thiings differently, so a special shaped tool to get into the nook and cranny of a certain car won't work on a different brand that has different nooks and crannys. And you can substitute "brand" with "engine," "model," or even "year."

  • "specifically intended to prevent BMW drivers from fixing their own cars."

    Give me a break.

    I hate to break it to people but every manufacturer has a lot of brand specific tools. You need a special socket for Toyota head bolts, 10 point sockets for Honda suspensions, a special multipoint socket for Audis, a special socket for Mercedes lug nuts and it's good to have a 21.5mm for Fords. 5 point security torx are starting to pop up on GMs.

    That's just an example of a few sockets, the deeper you go into a car, the higher the possibility that you need a $400 special tool or kit for a specific manufacturer, or even specific year or engine.

  • Mexico only has one gun store.. It's on an army base, heavily guarded and it takes months of background investigation to be approved to go there and buy a gun.

  • Pairing an automated process with something that costs money without error checking is like putting a credit card on file with a hooker. You're definitely running the risk of waking up broke.

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

    Jump

  • Naked Space, a.k.a. The Creature Wasn't Nice. A terrible Leslie Nielson spoof movie from 1981 that looks like it was shot in a weekend for $500, but it's funny to a point and has some good lines.

  • Pollution makes your penis small but having a small penis makes you buy a big truck that pollutes more.

    I don't really see a way out of this.

  • What a nice wholesome interaction with the masked paramilitary kidnap force.

    Imagine, if this really happened, this guy didn't know who they were and didn't know anything about ice and was like "I really appreciate you guys who are you guys anyway?"

    "We're ice"

    "Oh I don't know who that is. What brings you to town?"

    "We're here to kidnap men, women and children and put them in cages"

    "Uh.."

    "Yeah, you hear about that guy who got held down and shot in the back of the head execution style?"

    "I did hear something about that. We're you there to help him...?"

    "Haha. No, we're the ones that shot him. That's why we wear these masks"

    "Oh I thought you had those because it's cold"

    "Haha no no no no. It's because we don't want people to be able to identify us and hold us accountable for our crimes."

    "Uh...I really gotta go"

    "Sure thing buddy. Hey, before you go. You don't happen to know any brown people do you?"

    "Nope, sure don't. Gotta go. Byeee!"

  • What was the most under rated British TV show ever for you?

    Jump

  • I used to watch a lot of British comedy but never really watched any that aren't highly rated. The only two that come to mind are Man Stroke Woman and Green Wing
