I like the message the Calvin sticker sends: “I am childish but have an old man’s bladder.”
Fun Blackbeard fact: he actually spent some time in Philadelphia. It’s not known whether he preferred Pat’s or Geno’s steaks.
I’m a school bus driver and I have one total moron of a coworker who thinks we should all carry guns to protect the buses. He specifically wants to have his AR15 with him, with its magical 40-round mags like that would make the slightest fucking difference after somebody starts off their assault by blasting the driver’s seat. I’ve been pretending I agree with him and encouraging him to suggest this to our (very liberal) school board - since he’s above me on the seniority list.
The fact that you used the word “Cringe” means the song probably came out before you were born.
Ha ha, I never actually ever paid attention to the lyrics all the way through. The last rap by Bush I is awesome.
Does anyone ever think the guys with anything at all like that on their clothing have forgotten how to be violent?
I don’t think he’s forgotten - I think he’s old and fat and has mostly lost the ability to be violent, except maybe to his wife. A young, fit man would beat the shit out of him and he knows it. IMHO that’s a big reason gun nuts are so into their guns, because it compensates for their physical weakness.
In Germany during WWII they were able to keep cars running using wood gas, where they’d burn wood and vent the off-gassing into the car’s engine. This would be realistic for the Mad Max universe but it wouldn’t be very cool for all the Apocalypticars to be towing wood stove trailers - and I don’t remember ever seeing a tree in a Mad Max movie.
I’ve been watching clips of Furiosa and for me the most amusing thing is all the brand-new knobby tires on all the vehicles. I’m sure they have to have that for safety during filming, but it’s the most glaringly unrealistic aspect of these movies. Even in developed regions today lots of people run their tires into the ground, and in poorer parts of the world they generally keep using tires until they explode. The latter is absolutely how things would be in a Mad Max world, even if they did have facilities for new tire production.
Lol he’s wearing a henley to meet with soldiers. A fucking henley!
sure it’ll cost Elon some money
The dude is helping himself to the US Treasury. There’s no way he really gives much of a fuck about Tesla sales.
Where I live there was a super-popular local bakery. The landlord tried to get them to pay a higher rent and then kicked them out when they refused. The building has now been empty for the last five years. I do not understand the economics of this shit.
But it snowed this winter! Once!
I’m a school bus driver and I have a coworker who is an avid climate-change denier. Here is an example of how stupid she is: she needed to borrow my bus for a run and I had it chocked. Since the chock was wedged solid under my front wheel, she decided she needed to use the crowbar to get it loose and tore the fuck out of it (and my front tire) in the process. It never occurred to her to start the bus and back up to free the chock.
She also 1) hates immigrants because they’re unvaccinated and “spread disease”, and 2) is anti-vax. I could never make this shit up in a million years. If you have children, consider that a lot of the people driving them to and from school are exactly this fucking stupid.
Larry David and Bernie Sanders are actually cousins. They got hooked up on that PBS show sponsored by Ancestry.com.
the exhumed corpse of Jack Lemmon as Joe Biden
He’ll finally get that third Oscar!
Have I missed anyone?
Tankies who want capitalism to crash and burn so the workers’ utopia can rise in its place.
From 1980 to 2008 there was a perfect correlation between whether a Republican or Democrat was in the oval office and whether the debt was blowing up insanely or actually being paid off (Clinton, the lone Democratic President during that period, actually had a budget surplus the last two years of his Presidency). Unfortunately, it was still impossible to get Republicans to believe that the ballooning debt wasn’t the Democrats’ fault - “tax and spend liberals” etc. etc. Then Obama joined in the “deficits don’t matter” parade as did Biden, and now you can’t even use actual facts to try and convince people that Republicans are as far from being “fiscal conservatives” as it’s possible to be.
statistics can be abused
They can be abused, by people who understand statistics talking to people who don’t understand statistics. This is a good reason to learn statistical methods rather than reject them.
Lol the fact that she even has a contract at all is because of unions.
Lenin was not shy about having people taken out back and shot. He just died before he had the chance to do it on the scale that Stalin later achieved.
Fun random Lenin fact: Russia never had a tradition of preserving and mummifying the corpses of their Tsars and religious leaders. Lenin (d. 1924) was “mummified” (in a truly amateurish fashion) because of the worldwide popularity of Tutankhamun, whose tomb had been discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.
Another fun random Lenin fact: Vladimir Putin’s grandfather was Lenin’s chef.
YOU FIRED!
