  • Woman Wants Landlord to Pay After Finding Cockroach Imbedded in Her Ear

  • Before I moved to the southern US, the only time I'd ever encountered one is when I was a kid. My older brother was in a science class that had "pet german hissing cockroaches," and it was his turn to take them home with him. Well, I dunno if he let them out on purpose or what, but I was showering in our shared bathroom, and when I went to unfold and use my towel, I discovered that it was full of those disgusting creatures. I flew out of that bathroom, man. So my very first experience with them was traumatizing, and now I live in the South, and these things are the bane of my existence. Every few days (now that it's getting colder) I'll see one and it feels like a pustule of hate bursts within me, renewing my sense of bewilderment that man, in all his glory, cannot rid himself of these loathsome, vile things.

    I need to move, man.

  • Used to like his podcast, now I'm embarrassed I ever gave him the attention. At least he had some interesting people on that I got to hear from, but I wouldn't go near a rogan product now if you paid me.

  • Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why

    跳过

  • I loathe trunk or treat. It's not the same as trick or treating, it's cheating. When I was young the only way I got a bunch of candy was to run all over the neighborhood, and then run to the other neighborhoods to squeeze in more. I was out and about, acting the fool, where chicanery abounds. I'd end up at home, exhausted at the end of the night.

    Today's kids walk around a parking lot. It's just not the same.

    When we were kids halloween was the best. As an adult, there was nothing more I looked forward to than handing out candy, seeing costumes, scaring some kids with all my decorations. But now it's all sanitized and boiled down into the something as ludicrous as walking around a parking lot asking for handouts from cars. What, are they just prepping the nations children for a life of panhandling? Joking aside, it's just not as fun for anyone involved. I don't want to drive somewhere and decorate the fucking trunk of my car (especially when I decorated my house already?), and the kids don't want to walk around a parking lot!

    Trunk or treat is the worst solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

  • I like to do that with great albums. I'll listen to the whole thing, just, over and over and over again. Until I've got pretty much the whole thing memorized. Then I go on to another one. I'll only do it that way if the whole album is banging, though.

    Past examples include:

    Bernie Sanders: "I disagree with Kamala's position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?" Here is my answer:

  • He laments people laughing at him, and likens his purchase of the cybertruck to that of the Toyota Prius. Unfortunately, what he fails to consider, is that the Prius is an economy car. You can make fun of a crappy car, but that mockery ends before it affects the owner, because the majority of us understand that buying a car is more of a financial matter, rather than one of taste. i.e. most of us buy the car we can afford, not necessarily the car we want.

    That goes out the window when you take into consideration the cybertrucks price tag. If it was an economy electric car (like the Prius), we would poke fun at the vehicles design and that would be it. But this is a bloated, over-priced, unreliable, gimmick truck; whose only purpose is to serve as an ego-boost to one of the richest, dumbest men on the planet. The man that got bullied into buying and abruptly tanking one of the largest social media companies in the world. The same man jumping around like a pick-me dipshit at a fascist rally for a convicted felon, bankrupt businessman, convicted rapist, and self-described sex-pest.

    People can laugh at not just the cybertruck, but also the owner; because paying what amounts to a third of a fucking house so you can fanboy a man sure to go down as one of histories most public dumb-asses, makes you ripe for ridicule (and deservedly so).

  • Oh please, dear god, let this finally be over. Let Kamala win, and this orange buffoon go to prison. Please. I will stimulate the economy in revelry at seeing this clown finally face his comeuppance. My country just can't be this racist, sexist, and stupid.

  • YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index

    跳过

  • yeah, been weightlifting for years, and the only time the BMI chart says I'm "healthy" is when I'm at my absolute shreddiest. Looking like I'm starving myself to shoot a nude scene in a movie. And I hate that. I know that when I'm at that weight, I may look great, but I'm also at my weakest. So I hate that this chart subconsciously bullies me into trying to maintain some ridiculous 9-12% body fat range, when that's more of a body building competition range.

  • Moldova votes yes to joining EU by tiny margin

  • I mean, I still think that having an operational moon-based spaceport is something we could see in our lifetime.

    And as with all things concerning global affairs, it takes time and consistent pressure to overcome the lizard-brain us-vs-them mindsets that is inherent to our human political sphere. We've already grown to the point that we could take care of everyone on the planet, shuffling off the shackles of a scarcity-based economy which so severely hindered global human advancement in the past. I can only imagine what the combined efforts of the American, European, and Chinese economies/governments could accomplish if they put aside their differences, and embraced a true lasting partnership.

    Also the website you gave is so incredibly interesting, I need to look at it more before I can appropriately sing its praises

  • Moldova votes yes to joining EU by tiny margin

  • I keep seeing this repeated, but it's simply not true. Capitalism isn't the problem, Oligarchy is. This article I linked mathematically proves that it doesn't matter what form of governance your society uses, it inevitably falls into an oligarchy without strong recurring investments into social welfare.

    So, keep voting for the people that want to expand social security, expand job protections, expand medicare/healthcare, increase the minimum wage, while decreasing cost of living, education, and housing (progressive democrats, basically).

    If we can get Kamala in office, with a supermajority in the house/senate, we could finally pass some much needed shit, and stave off the inevitable turn to fascism that an oligarchal society seems to induce. It would have been better if we just elected Bernie Sanders, but can't stall progress for perfection!
