  • Thanks for asking this question. These replies are so much more helpful in understanding the basic premise than anything I've come across.

  • Heads on pikes. That's where we're at. Medieval theocracy, here we come

  • Americans conservatives could learn a lot from the real conservatives of Norway.

    American conservatives are incapable of learning

  • Surely the people of Gaza will wait patiently for justice in the midst of this ethnic cleansing.

    This all seems kind of meaningless

  • Coffee and treats at local bakery/cafe. Road trip to some obscure shop. Movies/games with spouse. Intoxication. Bath. House cleaning. Yard work. Occasionally go for massage. Therapy.

    Usually do three to five of these, depending on which of my days off it is.

  • There seem to be no pictures of his stupid face where he isn't pulling some stupid face with his stupid, unpleasant, and malignant face

  • I have a staunchly leftist but older co-worker who thinks no one she knew growing up had autism.

    "I still think something is causing it" despite being pro-vaxx.

    The propaganda is extremely effective unfortunately

  • "Shop like a billionaire" indeed

  • To facilitate punching down, as bullies do

  • One Karlach Burger, please and thank you

  • Germany was literally bisected. For decades. Something does die when that happens.

  • Another bullshit headline. He didn't admit anything of the sort. He did overpromise and underdeliver, as he always does. This can be construed as a failure. He did not, however, "admit" failure.

  • Could be chocolate wrapped in gold foil for all I know. 🤣

  • Superman rescued cats from trees, threw nukes into the sun, and rebuilt the Great Wall of China with his mighty eye beams, but to save Lois Lane he would reverse time itself¹. To be with her he'd abandon his great gifts. He always priortized himself and those he cared about. It's kind of relatable though, he's ultimately a guy from Kansas who wants to be just like everyone else. The world frequently benefits from his actions. But he is American, first and foremost. If he did abdicate responsibility, pull a Dr. Manhattan basically, the world would have to grow up a little and tackle its problems entirely on its own. On the upside, it wouldn't have to argue about whose side Superman is really on, or complain when he doesn't show up every once in a while for their specific crisis. Of course, America isn't as principled as her fictional savior, so... milage may vary.

    ¹or travel through time, depending on your interpretation

  • The best take I've heard so far is this: there is no strategy. Pulling the levers is the point unto itself. He likes tariffs. Like most things, he doesn't understand how they work. Maybe he thinks China pays them. But it's not part of some economic plan. Clearly. Trying to sort it out is to delve into the twisted mind of a dim-witted narcissist.

    He's not trying to accomplish anything. The effects however, may entertain him. Every justification is post-hoc.

  • Had someone brag about one of these hideous things at work, shortly after election. He was so excited to show it off. Haven't seen him or his ugly gold lump since then.

    ...and there lived in that hole a tiny goblin

    whose name had been Neekap, purveyor of mushrooms of all description.

    The Goblin Hypothesis

    From the description:

    one wouldn’t expect an imaginary little creature from the 12th century to still hold relevance in modern society. And yet the word of the year was ‘goblin mode.’ So, what is it about these freaky dudes that have kept them a fixture of popular culture?
