Of course, we all know that he also has invented time travel solely to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand to ignite WWI.
- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 4 days ago:
I mean, Russia’s certainly looking like they want to try at Finland again with those troop buildups, and they’re propping up a lot of armed agitators in Moldova, as well as a lot of sabotage across Central Europe (and now a drone incursion accidentally-maybe-not into Poland). Sure looks to me like if Russia isn’t an aggressor nation towards Europe, they’re doing a damn fine job imitating one.
Do they have the troops, morale, equipment, money, or veterancy to effectively prosecute a war against a nation that hasn’t undergone serious regime change recently? My money is personally on no success, but I’m definitely willing to say that Putin will give it a try. He has leashed his entire wagon to the horse named “expansionism”, and he NEEDS some sort of victory to keep any semblance of public support, no matter how jaded his populace might be - otherwise his dictator friends might get ideas on seizing Russian lands.
- Comment on Good luck! 1 week ago:
I’d immediately miss one of those incredibly tall, narrow steps and break my fucking neck. No thanks.
- Comment on Trump rebrands Department of Defense as 'Department of War' 1 week ago:
Yeah, all the Republicans in my sphere keep talking about how he’s the No More Wars guy. Sure seems like we’re trying to find a war against Venezuela, at least.
- Comment on Laura Loomer wants ICE to livestream arrests for entertainment: "Make it exciting an show ICE agents tackling Juan and Jesus" 3 weeks ago:
They already had a film crew embedded with some raids early on thanks to none other than Dr Motherfucking Phil.
- Comment on US judge orders dismantling of Trump's 'Alligator Alcatraz' 3 weeks ago:
I think they’re more saying “will this have any actual teeth to enforce it”. Trump has made a routine habit through his life of ignoring the courts entirely when it suits him.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Nah, we funded both Iran and the Taliban. We even elected a guy who illegally funneled weapon sales to Iran in order to take that money and give it to Nicaraguan death squads. Arguably, without US support, neither gets the critical mass it needs to effect regime change or become anything more than an upstart.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
No, but we’re doing a fantastic job exporting a lot of the doctrine and repackaging it.
- Comment on Family in fear after Tommy Robinson shares video of black man with white granddaughters 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, this sounds a lot like “here’s my video of the family I’m going to hate-crime.”
- Comment on Trump Secures Peace Deal Where Putin Gets Ukraine During The Week While Zelenskyy Gets Weekends And Two Weeks In The Summer 4 weeks ago:
They were a lot better before Trump 1. Then they purged literally every member of their staff that was even slightly liberal, and their humor went with them. Every so often the bat finds the pinata.
- Comment on New executive order puts all grants under political control 5 weeks ago:
We’ve already got RFK doing that. The State Dept has also adopted pseudohistorical stances, and the Education Dept being cut is so they can teach those stances as fact.
- Comment on Yeasty 1 month ago:
Also, some companies still put inedible chemicals like bleach or ammonia on their food trash to make it completely useless “as a legal measure” because otherwise homeless people who eat expired food might sue (according to the bean counters).
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 1 month ago:
This is, or was (thanks RFK for handing the industry a blank check), how pharma development works. You don’t even get to do human trials until you’re pretty damn sure it’s not going to kill anyone. “Experimental medicine” stuff you read about is still medicine that’s been in development for YEARS, and gone through animal, cellular, and various other trials.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 1 month ago:
Assuming you can find a buyer who will process that crypto, without touching either of those payment processors. All the crypto evangelists seem to forget the major crypto payment platforms are in use because you can actually rapidly exchange your crypto for that thing you can actually pay your rent with - but those function largely on the backbone of big payment platforms to trade that crypto into cash for the merchant.
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 1 month ago:
I had to make these when I sold cellphones. So much sock money.
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 1 month ago:
The worm that keeps getting put into payment processor’s brains is that they might somehow be held criminally liable for games people purchase. It’s like telling a bus driver that they might be liable because they gave a ride to someone who robbed a store.
- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 1 month ago:
Because DOGE is still running on Elon Musk’s strategy of “move fast, break things, and don’t fix anything until shit’s on fire”. People won’t be dying in concentration camps because of DOGE, they’ll just be homeless and probably half-dead of starvation (because of the repeal of the PFDA).
- Comment on Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfire 1 month ago:
Except Collective Shout is Australian (which is unsurprising, considering that AUS is also a hotbed of hate groups).
- Comment on They're completely serious 1 month ago:
Yup. It’s not that soft tissue DOESN’T fossilize, it’s just that the conditions to do so are much rather, and soft tissue is obviously much more susceptible to degradation before fossilization.
- Comment on Yes, salesperson. Please fondle my underwear before I buy it. And judge me for what I choose. 1 month ago:
Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting food/clothes/necessities, no you fucking didn’t.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 month ago:
Nah, media companies have been doing this for years now, and now the gaming industry has figured out the “cancel something and claim the potential profits as a tax writeoff”.
- Comment on pocket knife 1 month ago:
Why bother disposing of the corpse when they can just tell the media you were resisting arrest. Interesting fact: corpses can’t press charges.

Shortest was actually James Madison. 5’4".

- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 2 months ago:
This is just most education systems in America. You’re autistic or have other learning disabilities? Fuck you.
Unless you’re in a wealthy school district without easy access to a specialized school for “those people”, your options are limited if you’re in public school.

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 months ago:
Also, unless you’ve got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.

I switched to Tidal and love it.
- Comment on Minnesota Shooting Suspect Allegedly Used Data Broker Sites to Find Targets’ Addresses 2 months ago:
Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.

I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.
