  1. Remember how all the now-MAGAs got all fired up about Jade Helm and how "they" were gonna turn abandoned Wal-Marts into jails? Every accusation is a confession, exhibit fucking infinity.
  2. Elon Musk has killed 600,000 people so far this year, and he and Trump can't seem to stop sucking each other's dicks. So, Trump can spare me the "this is to save lives" bullshit.
  3. I don't give a fuck whether Tesla hits those target or not. Elon Musk is one of the most evil, murderous humans to ever walk the planet. And he is walking on it right now, and a fuckload of people CELEBRATE HIM. Imagine being a fan of someone who murdered hundreds of thousands of people for no good reason, and fucking JUMPED AROUND FOR JOY BRAGGING ABOUT IT. If you celebrate or support Elon in any way, shape, or form, you are an evil piece of shit.
  4. Exactly. There can be no deal that requires trust. Period. It just can't happen. That's what happens when your counterpart is a fucking consistent liar who doesn't stick to what he promises. In cases like this, "negotiations" require hostages to ensure compliance. I'm dead serious. Look into the differences between high trust and low trust societies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-trust_and_low-trust_societies Remember reading how deals between barons, kings and such during feudal times often included the opposing party having your son stay in his castle as a "guest?" He was a hostage. The understood situation was that if you backed out on your deal to stay on your side of the river or whatnot, I'd kill your son. That's where we are. Oh, and low trust societies are really shitty, not prosperous, etc. They're just mafia fiefdoms and shit, good only for a select few at the very top. Sound familiar? Zero trust of Donald Trump. LESS than zero. Knowing that, act accordingly. No deals unless he gives you a hostage. In terms of legislation, that means that all bills need to be bundled together. Any term I want has to be an element of the bill containing the terms YOU want. Full stop.
  5. To be clear....a fucking evil fucking villain, with a net worth of FIVE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS, danced around on stage celebrating like a fucking child who just scored a stuffed animal from a claw machine, because he cut SIXTY BILLION (that is...an amount he could have ponied up and only lost 12% of his net worth) in aid to human beings who were literally going to die without it. Fucking hell. Imagine dancing around on stage like a fucking clown celebrating "I just did something that is going to directly lead to hundreds of thousands of humans dying." He's among the most evil human beings to have ever walked the earth. His existence is quite literally a plague on humanity (that's what you call something that kills hundreds of thousands of people).
  6. The man literally laughed and performed with a chainsaw to celebrate....cutting off food aid, the loss of which has KILLED hundreds of thousands of children (even if this model is off by 50%....it's still hundreds of thousands): And this is how he celebrated doing that: People....that's absurd, over-the-top comic book villain shit. Anyone who thinks that Elon should be celebrated -- fuck, anyone who thinks that his existence is in any way a positive for the world -- is either a fucking irredeemable moron, evil, or both.
  7. When you live in Texas, and that strategy is probably a good one.... ....yeah.
  8. Yeah. That's when you gotta really be ready for a home invasion -- the time when people start their day. That's, like "home invasion planning 101." Also, this is perfection: "The complexity of the investigation." That's cop-speak for "we gotta find a way to blame this on the brown person."
  9. If these laws were enacted with a limitation to applying them to sales types....I'm listening.....
  10. Houston girl (at least she was born there, lived there through elementary school I think).
  11. Have to protect him. Note that this is in fucking Indiana, one of the most racist states in the union. All presumptions must go in favor of the homeowner, who was surely just defending himself against someone who was likely a dirty illegal gang member rapist drug dealer boat captain terrorist.
  12. You'd think that. And there have been convictions of folks who shot someone just for turning onto their driveway or knocking at their door. But these stupid fucking "stand your ground" laws have just emboldened WAY too many people, and set up a fucked up value system: everything and everyone is an immediate threat, and shoot shoot shoot shoot, that's the only rational response to every "threat." Set up a fucked up calculus, get fucked up results.
  13. It should. But "stand your ground" laws are pretty fucking aggressive the other way. I mean, they should be re-titled "gutless fucking coward who wants to shoot first and think later" laws, but the fact remains the bar is just barely higher than "I decided I was scared, and that's enough -- I have a perfect defense."
  14. I don't know where this goes. We've had stories like this before -- guy shot a kid on his porch in KC, guy murdered someone who turned around in his driveway in Hays county (I think that's where it was), etc. Well, now, a super brave second amendment patriot successfully executed a....chubby hispanic housekeeper who knocked on his door at the wrong address. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/family-demands-justice-for-cleaning-crew-worker-fatally-shot-after-arriving-at-wrong-home/507-cebaf9ca-3de5-4cac-a83e-938e970a49d6?tbref=hp Between our culture's absolute fetishization and worship of guns, to the point where you're a commie pussy if you DON'T use one, to most of our media feeding constant scary shit to whites and olds especially ("they're coming for you! Venezuelan gangs! MS-13! THEY'RE RIGHT OUTSIDE, RIGHT NOW!), to the open demonization of all browns....shit like this happening, and continuing to happen, is inevitable. So, thank God this homeowner protected himself from this dirty brown terrorist gang member intent on raping him with fentanyl! Gosh, I'm amazed he could pull off the task of.....shooting her through his closed door.....being how hard he had to have been shaking from such a fearsome attacker.
  15. Seeing the approval of an insane compensation package for Elon at Tesla, it's shades of this: Because this shows that there actually is no "Tesla," just a brand called "Elon." Here's a nice little exercise: imagine that Elon OD's on ketamine tomorrow and dies. .... .... Yeah, I know, it's nice to think about. But anyway, imagine that. What happens to Tesla's stock price? Because it's not based on "their cars are great." It's not based on "sales are going up." Nope. It's based entirely on....."Elon is the CEO." Owners of Tesla stock don't have stock in Tesla, they have stock in Elon. Which is in turn, really just stock in "the image and persona of Elon that Elon has managed to sell." The moment that goes away -- and death will do that to a personal brand -- what the fuck is propping up the stock price? Nothing. So....
  16. "Jobs have grown bigly. At numbers the likes of which no one has ever seen before. There have never been more jobs. 'Jobs' - that's a word not many people know, but it's becoming more and more common. I brought that word back, 'jobs.' Sleepy Joe couldn't do it. The election was stollen."
  17. Let’s check in to see what the rest of the world thinks of Charlie (update from my daughter today) Also…doner prices: serious business.
  18. As your mom? Or as someone to have sex with? Or, for our friends in Alabama, both?
  19. There are always kapos and Judenräte. Collaborate with the oppressor to buy yourself favor, power, and time. But in the end....the oppressor always comes for you too. You actually bought yourself nothing except a little bit of time. And all it cost you was your soul.
  20. Ummm....my red beans and rice-eating coonass half frowns on your shenanigans.
  21. It won't go STRAIGHT to Trump. It will pass through an entity/project or two. But yes, it WILL eventually end up in Trump's pockets.
  22. So, so, SO much this. And it sure as shit is complicated. As in, European migrants didn't exactly arrive on empty, unoccupied land. But arrive they did. And I think of the courage, the passion, all the things that were kicking around as they did so. I've linked to this song before, because it fucking WRECKS me: Leaving behind all you ever knew, all you ever were, crossing an ocean to make a new life and a better future. Knowing that you might never return to the land of your birth. Fucking hell. And yeah, that mobility has been a key to American success. African American migration from the south to the cities of the north. The Dust Bowl migrations. The people fleeing the rust belt as it collapsed in the 70s-80s (Houston was full of 'em). Our AMERICAN story is written by people who bravely moved forward, to new places, and made them their own. And in the process, enriching them. The trade that is human migration is ultimately a mutually beneficial one. And fucking this. Seriously. 20 years ago, the Economist was basic kitchen-table stuff for most Republican voters. They'd read positions in there like "tariffs are generally a shitty thing," and "racism and anti-semitism are poison," and genuinely nod along. Today? They LITERALLY call the Economist a "liberal rag," as it says.....exactly the same things it said 20 years ago. They are in the thrall of a cult, and I hate every last one of them.
  23. Meh. That’s normal, and a perfect example of the ethics of the AI industry as a whole. Get used to a LOT more of it. Money has value. Power and control have value. Humanity has no value. Shit, probably negative value. And we’re elevating that worldview more every day.
  24. I love the whole sandwich guy story. Just fantastic.
