  1. Next to Roger Stone, she looks the most like a cartoon villain.
  2. Last night it hailed at our house. I hollered to my boys, "Hey, boys, it's hailing! Come look at all of the ice on the ground!" My wife: "How is this possible? It's August!"
  3. Mr. and Mrs. Wong had a baby. The baby had no Asian features and appeared to be half Caucasian. The doctor to the dad, "You know, two Wongs don't make a white." I'll be here all week, folks.
  4. I'm not really a selfish, insensitive asshole and bad husband/father. I just play one on the internet.
  5. It's a scene straight out of Idiocracy.
  6. There's been an ongoing topic that carries a little bit of conflict in my marriage. My wife wants to go on a cruise; I hate cruises. I've actually never been on one. I'm just pretty sure I'd hate it. I like to do my own thing, I don't like gluttony and I don't like being around a bunch of fat people. Anyway, my wife and I know where we both stand on the subject of cruises. Stupidly, for my MIL's birthday, my wife's "gift" to her mom was a trip. "Trip" was totally undefined, though my wife suggested the MIL's hometown. MIL was like, "Fuck that. Why would I want to go back there!" I LOLed to myself. But that morphed into my wife coming up with alternatives, one of which was a cruise. I was like, "Fine. Go. Good for you. But I'm not going." It got complicated where kids were going, which meant I would be the only one in my family not there (and not available to help with the kids). I was just like, "Hey, tough titty. I'm happy for you and the kids to go and I'm happy to pay for it, but I'm not going." This conversation happened like 3-4 times. Each one was the same - she'd describe some new wrinkle in the plan and mildly try to convince me to go and I'd tell her, again, I don't like cruises and I don't want to go. Fast forward to our road trip vacation this summer. First couple of hours in the car we're talking, catching up on a bunch of shit. Then she brings up the cruise again. "Hey, you know the cruise with my mom we've been talking about?" Mind you, this is like the fifth time she's brought it up. I responded, "Look, I told you. I'm not going. You and the kids can go. Great. But you know I don't like cruises and I am not going to do it." Her response (she's all pissed off now), "Well, if you would LET ME FINISH, I was going to tell you that plans fell through so it's not happening!" WTF? If the point you are trying to make is that the cruise is off, then A) why are you bringing it up in the first place, and B) you should lead with that, not with the same intro you used in the last four conversations about it where you tried to guilt me and convince me to go on this fucking cruise. We argued about it and it turned into this big fucking fight and she was pissed off at me for the rest of the trip. When we got home we were still fighting. At one point I told her, "Let me give you an example of why this is fucked up. Hey, I wanted to bring up anal sex again." "And then you say, 'I told you! I'm not doing it!!'" "Then I say, 'Well, if you would LET ME FINISH, I was going to tell you that I'm not interested in it anymore!" She was not amused, nor did she concede the point.
  7. Have y'all seen this yet? https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/id/45918842/indycar-pato-oward-surprised-ice-speedway-slammer-post If I were to write a fictitious story about how maximally tasteless, cruel and bigoted the government could be, I could never have come up with this idea.
  8. Kill it to save it. Hmmmm....
  9. This gif for the 1,000th time.
  10. And they won't get taxed on it, to boot!
  11. I don't really get it. Where are all of these infielders going to play?
  12. I don't know shit about fuck, but the biggest problem the Democratic party faces, to me, seems to be that adhering to truth, the rule of law and actually doing what is best for the country just isn't popular enough with the electorate. What is a political party supposed to do about that? The reason it seems like they are doing a shitty job is that the GOP and Trumpco should be such easy targets to take down with their obvious dipshit policies, cronyism and outright evil, yet it's not happening. It appears that the levers of societal change may not be so easy to pull.
  13. That's what I'm saying. The timing of when guys are coming back is bad. They'll all be back after the deadline, so we don't have any information on how all these guys are going to do post-injury. I'm saying if we had more information then the decision whether or not to trade Framber would be an easier one. The injuries have finally caught up with us. You can't play a lineup of half AAA guys and expect to win long term. We're lucky to be where we are. We just gotta hope that when our guys get back they can win like they had been.
  14. Exactly. If we knew whether Javier or Garcia or France could give us that then it would make the decision to trade Framber a lot easier.
  15. If they knew more about Javier and Garcia and France (and even add McCullers to that list) then trading Valdez would make more sense. As it is, with Framber and Brown we have a chance in any series.
  16. 1. Attack and tax the rick. Vilify the rich. Instead of minorities and immigrants, make them the reason for all of the bad things that happen to working class people. 2. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine to exert control over media messaging so it can't be batshit. 3. Address the biggest threat to national security there is - the fucking deficit. Insist on paying it down by any means necessary, including reducing military spending. Make people fear the deficit. 4. Campaign finance reform. Campaign finance reform. Campaign finance reform. As long as money rules politics then the real needs of the country and its people will not be met. 5. Lincoln Project style videos showing every promise Trump did not keep.
  17. Yeah, we need Trump to publicly fester. Vance, lickspittle that he is, would probably be more effective at doing actual evil shit than Trump.
  18. Why in the fuck would you do that inside of a car? If the whole point is to puke and laugh about it, why would you knowingly get vomit all over the inside of your car?
  19. I did this a couple of months ago. I'm better for it. What has happened is that a sizeable and politically significant number of voters have evolved into racist, misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, hate- and fear-mongering ignorant assholes. The reasons are varied, but can all be traced to various societal factors. The declining population (as a total percentage) of whites in the U.S., media being driven (by market necessity) by profits instead of journalistic integrity, the internet and waves of false and misleading information that anyone can send out to millions of gullible and uninformed people, the failure of our education system, the fact that the U.S. is rich, bloated, overly stimulated and infected with such false myths as "anyone call pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and "welfare queens" and "illegals are sucking up all of the resources paid for by our hard-earned tax dollars." When you add to that politicians who have absolutely zero integrity, no intentions of ever doing anything "good" for the country or the people at large and are only self-interested (which is, itself, caused by fucked up campaign finance laws) and, as a result, they are willing to tell people anything, no matter how untrue, farfetched or dangerous. You know, things like, "Illegals are taking all of the jobs!" "Democrats are socialists!" "Sandy Hook families are crisis actors!" "Trans women are taking over women's sports and gaining access to women's bathrooms to spy on little girls' pee-pees!" and various other outrageous and stupid shit like that. Whites feel (or believe) they are losing their grip on power and want to hear it's not happening or that there is someone to blame and there are things to do about it. So they vote for the assholes riling them up because it makes them feel good. So, in a word - dopamine. Dopamine is to blame for all of this.
