  1. fuckin a right i had one call this morning before the vote, and now i'm fucking transfixed. it's amazing watching a self-immolation coincide with a defenestration. all the best westerns have em.
  2. it's more than the fact that no one likes maccarthy, i think. i mean, that's true, but i don't think it's the only thing. it's that mccarthy has the reek of desperation around him. matt gaetz said it on the fucking house floor, "he's sold shares of himself." fucking ironic coming from such a scumbag, but there it is. the thing is, everyone knows mccarthy wants to be the speaker. he wants it more than anything else. clearly he wants it more than his own integrity. and ultimately, and not without some irony, this is what is biting him in the ass. he was milquetoast af republican miller lite bullshit who would do whatever it took to secure a leadership position. then along comes trump and his merry band of losers and mccarthy is fucking confused. but that doesn't last long, his mental math starts again, and he calculates he needs trump so he starts bending over for the man. he'd give him anything to placate him. he'd give up his integrity itself to prove to trump that he was loyal, even though he wasn't. so he sold out to the trump wing of the party. this is why we don't negotiate with terrorists. republicans negotiated with their terrorists. good luck with that. terrorists like to blow everything up when they don't get their way. mccarthy hoisted himself on his own blind ambition.
  3. yeah, but it's so blatantly transparent. shit, i would believe toranaga didn't want the shogunate more than i would believe that jordan doesn't want to be speaker.
  4. maybe. maybe not. i don't know that those votes are his to whip
  5. yeah, i heard the same thing. basically, death by 10s of cuts one at a time. i don't know how long they can sustain this, but i'm loving every minute of it. reap the fucking whirlwind, mccarthy. you deserve this. you made this.
  6. yes. this episode fucking kills me. another show i loved growing up was good times. i don't think it gets enough credit for being as genre bending as it was. anyways there's a neighbor girl who confides to the daughter she's being abused by her mother with an iron. burned. anyways the daughter wrestles with it but eventually tells mama who goes in to save the day and...the family has moved out. gone. forever. fuck that one hit me hard at 6 years old or so.
  7. yeah, you big idiots. /aguywhoboughtgmeat$250andstillownsit it's truly bizarre how he conned so many.
  8. immamac should 100% respond on this thread with elon twitter answers. "interesting." "we'll look into that" "we have the largest political forum in the great state of texas" that sort of thing would take this thread to 11
  9. glad we got to the bottom of that. sidenote: my wife is related to a guy who worked on that bbq throwdown show. of course, it's mostly bullshit, and flay is a prima donna who couldn't mix with the help, but apparently jet tila was cool af
  10. fuck's sake, slorch. you go so far out of your way to make villains, it's pathological. like, i don't know how you get through your day.
  11. i just think people minimize the help they get and maximize their own personal achievements. it's easy to do and you see it all the time. this example of essentially "free capital" is a perfect case. yeah, it got paid back, but what it you didn't have access to it in the first place? you'd be stuck. and a lot of people are currently stuck like that. without help from my mom, i'm not in my house currently. this is not to say i didn't work hard to pay off debt, build a career, put my wife through grad school, blahblahblah yeah, all that happened. could it have happened without help? yes. 10 years from now. also read: never. im not ashamed, i'm fortunate. my mom worked hard. she wants top pay that forward. that's fine. i feel no shame accepting help. when you need it, you need it. when it can be....helpful, take the fucking help. it's not charity. even if it is, take the help and fucking pay it forward. if you did or do not have the chance to accept help - don't kid yourself. you've had help; and you would accept more if it was available. i have friends who have probably WAY more help than i do. i don't know, nor do i care. none of the people i know are deadbeats, and neither am i. we all work hard and have made sacrifice after sacrifice for our kids and families - things that cannot be measured in dollars. i do know i couldn't be friends with a deadbeat. i have empathy for days, but if you ain't at least trying, i have zero time for you.
  12. so, like, a, uh, web hit counter? can you change the fonts and shit?
  13. boomers fucked us proper fucked
  14. it will change your life forever. kind of like traveling in first class. nothing is ever the same again.
  15. this shit has been in amsterdam as long as i can remember. fun fact: as fucked as I've been in amsterdam I've never eaten a burger out of an automated box. now shwarma wrapped in pizza? we can have plenty of conversations.
  16. yeah. i saw this with my sister and her kids and my ma. it sucks, especially when mom started flirting with dementia and would forget this or that and suddenly' sis's whole family had new mobile phones. i think that's different than what the op is talking about, which is casual comfort. "oh, your mom still pays for your cell plan and...your housekeeper? okay..." yeah that shit seems a little weird to me, but like i said, i don't care, everyone lives in different situations. my ma has helped me with some pretty significant shit, so i can't really judge. i'm pretty far from a bootstraps kind of guy, even if i wasn't no silver spoon motherfucker neither.
  17. goddammit i snorted
  18. i have friends who get help from their folks, i'm sure. i don't really know. i don't really care. the fuck should i care? i've gotten help from my folks when i needed it. that's called "having a support network." i see what you are saying about perhaps "propping up an unearned or unfair" lifestyle, but i don't really give a fuck about that. i mean, not everybody is the perfect person in the world. everyone does, kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me. i just feel people need to give em a chance.
  19. yeah, this is where i'm now living after wondering how the fuck we haven't fired this guy yet days after i read that arrest affidavit. he's got some kind of defense (like video defense), or texas is playing a longer game than i like for a situation like this. i don't like the idea that an arrest can end someone's career before a guilty verdict, but this a long time for the university to sit pat. i think they ("they" they, you know who i mean) think he's the guy. i think they are tepidly lining up with him in the hopes that the man can clean the shit in his own nest before it gets too shitty in bellmont's nest. and anyway, they don't care if it gets kind of shitty in bellmont's nest - that's an acceptable risk with a guy in the "winner" column. and because he's in the winner column, they don't much care about his business as long as it stays his business and doesn't become theirs.
  20. so i'm a tech analyst who has made a decent career out of pretending to understand tech. in reality, i just count things. you can name em what you want. but in short, the stack is the software. that's it. it's jargon. if this, then that. blah blah. whatever. people make a lot of money on that and i wish i understood the nuts and bolts, but i could answer that question better than elon who was more angry at being questioned over his bullshit jargon than anything else. "achieving velocity?" go fuck yourself, nerd. twitter was in fucking orbit as an existing company. the problem isn't the fucking stack itself. it's trying to make the existing stack behave as though it was a wholly new and different fucking stack. you colossal fucking egotistical cancer. i used to kind of think this guy was cool when he was launching his roadster into space blasting bowie. that shit was cool in a childish but still kind of cool way. like how they actually fucking shot hunter thompson's ashes out of a fucking cannon. practical? nope. childish? yep. kind of cool? absofuckinglutely. pretending to understand what the stack is? fucking stupid. you're the boss. you don't have to know that shit. stop trying to be everything to everyone. idiot. and stop taking the drugs.
  21. i dunno yall, this dude acts like he might be on drugs
