  1. You’d think that was a book, but it’s a one page flyer. Put finger on string, pull, profit!
  2. Fantastic pic!
  3. Eh, I mean, you and I believe OJ killed Nicole, but we are not privy to the inner workings of their family and how those kids view their dad or mom. I know their kids didn’t murder her, so maybe they don’t deserve to be on trial for grieving the loss of their dad even if he was a despicable cunt?
  4. This isn't that weird. Every funeral home/planner/cremtorium offers this as an upcharge service. Would you like fries with your cremation? I declined both times I had to navigate a death/funeral, but it doesn't surprise me that a family member opts to have some ashes in a pendant or something.
  5. I don't agree with everything in that article, but I do think it's on to something with the Harris/Walz ticket, and I would call it "authenticity." Most politicians speak, and you pretty quickly realize you are listening to a politician -- a shady salesperson hawking ideas bought and sold with votes. With the truly gifted politicians you don't get that sense. You feel like you are just listening to someone with a lot of common sense telling it like it is and presenting ideas against problems. When I listen to Harris and Walz, I don't feel like someone is trying to sell me a lemon. Trump is interesting in this regard. I think he is authentically an asshole, moron and disruptor of the status quo. That speaks to the politically disenfranchised who value his authenticity in that regard. But I don't think he's authentically attempting to make anything better for anyone other than himself and a small minority of would be oligarchs. He's the ultimate manifestation of this meme, and a good number of people have been made so angry and afraid that they cannot recognize they have a lot more in common with the minority sitting with them at the table of the common man than the wealthy asshole who has stopped by to rile them both up.
  6. Somewhere someone is writing an elegy for this wannabilly.
  7. Yeah, the Sweetwater plek pitch is a "would you like to supersize your bougie gear order?" offer. On Reverb there is a clear gear price correction going on with the used market, I don't think it's started to trickle up to the new market yet where prices are set primarily by manufacturers. So I wouldn't buy a new guitar now that has a jacked up covid/stimulus price and a much larger than normal value drop as soon as the word "used" can be attached to it. Pedals and stuff under $300 are still moving, guitars over $1000 are slooooowww and sellers are cutting prices to pre-covid (normal?) levels to get a buyer. There are always outliers, but that seems to be the general trend.
  8. That its a miracle she didn't turn up in Town Lake?
  9. That's actually a very interesting statistic, that about 70% of Republicans feel democrats are palatable enough to fuck, and 70% of democrats wouldn't fuck a Republican with a ten foot dildo. I'd like to see it corrected for gender as I bet women comprise more of the Democratic Party than the Republican party. In my own circles, I think the average person who still identifies as Republican is kind of clueless about how repulsive they've become through association with who they vote for. They want to see their voting choices as a difference of opinion that shouldn't come between friends or family members. Like we're just walking out of a movie theater and disagreeing about how shitty the last M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie was. But their voting choices directly harm the health, well being or ability for other friends and family members to live, love and prosper. So that has to be reconciled against how they may treat that person as an individual face to face, and they just can't see that they bear a responsibility for the real-world effects of their vote.
  10. Did you get her number?
  11. This is how we know it's a cult. They are "party over pussy."
  12. Could you imagine what a MAGA-branded ez-bake oven might look like? I'm just gonna leave that for you degenerates to contemplate.
  13. Well this explains your affinity for the "fuck around and find out" emoji.
  14. Yeah, but have you ever seen 5 yo bowling leagues?
  15. Rapping/shouting is the best Vince Neil has sounded in years.
  16. I hope she is found safe.
  17. For Elon, its the Oddsissy
  18. Follow up question should be, "But seriously, if costs increase for manufacturers and retailers, why wouldn't those costs trickle down to consumers?" And based on his answer, I can think of another bag of follow up questions.
  19. I don't give a shit if Quinn and Arch support Trump or not. That's their right, but what I think will be interesting to watch as the new NIL world evolves is whether visible political stances cost people like Quinn and Arch some dough. Orgs like Burnt Ends likely won't care. But businesses driven by profit motive (vs say something like X) want least common denominator, unoffensive pitchmen that do not alienate customers.
  20. Its not about election integrity or truth or informing the public, its about creating enough chaos that the voting system shuts down. Its people phoning in fake fires all around town so the trucks are answering those calls instead of responding to real fires. Then they can point at the fire department and say, "Why didn't you stop the real fires?" Its manipulating reality to fit the view that A) all government run agencies are inherently inept and fatally flawed and B) elections in the US are a sham. I'd like to say I think it is so that the spoiled man-child on the R ticket can avoid having to face that he didn't win something, but I think Trump is largely irrelevant. The goal of the most insidious of the people who "support Trump" is to dismantle the government. Trump is just a useful tool to make progress towards that. Their view of our shared world is more aligned with Timothy McVeigh's or Ted Kaczynski's than my own. That used to depress the fuck out of me, but as it becomes more apparent as to what is going on, I am seeing more people reject it. For every person it energizes and brings in, three are repulsed and driven away. That's taken from the people in my orbit in Colorado and Texas, but I think we are seeing evidence that something like this is the general trend nationally.
  21. Gonna spoil the ending of this National Lampoon Vacation reboot:
