Remember her from years ago. She tried to break up the monotony.
- Comment on plus psychological evaluation, a noterized signature from both parents and 3 months grace period 1 week ago:
I don’t want to be a billionaire.
I just want all the money companies spend repainting/redecorating when they change names.
- Comment on Trump's signature to appear on US currency in a first for sitting president 1 week ago:
Did you say ‘defaced currency?’

- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 week ago:
There was a trend a few years back to mix heroin and cocaine. We’d get overdose victims and apply narcan. Instead of coming around peacefully they’d go from a nod to cocaine psychosis.
My friends who worked for EMS had a lot of stories about that.

[off topic?]
There’s probably a local women/children shelter that could use it.
Many of the residents left their homes quickly due to family upheaval and can use it.
- Comment on Looking sharp as ever 1 week ago:
I cracked up at the idea of fish needing a pedicure, then remembered I’ve actually seen those things in a few tourist spots.
The idea of a fish going to a beauty salon is still funny, though.
- Comment on Spider-Man getting a bunch of good looking love interests while the writers simultaneously make his life shit: 1 week ago:
I once read a comic where the heroes discover an unknown city in the heart of Africa.
The men all look like apes, and all the women are incredibly beautiful.
One character asks how this came to be.
The editor helpfully provided an explanation at the bottom of the page. The artist really likes drawing apes and pretty women.
- Comment on When you actually pay attention to the lyrics of the song you're listening: 1 week ago:
I agree with your theory, but I also agree with starik.
Ryan is never going to be relevant again. I think the kingmaker at the 2028 Convention with be MTG. She dropped out before this war started, and won’t have to run in 2026. I look for her to become an omnipresent talking head, bemoaning how MAGA was sold out by Trump.
- Comment on Iran Propaganda is very entertaining to follow 1 week ago:
There’s no propaganda that’s as bad as the actual footage of him and his minions unedited.

Thanks, the other link wasn’t working
- Comment on Are Americans Actually Idiots? 1 week ago:
Oh, I agree. When Trump crashes and burns they’ll come up with a reason to blame the trans* folks for distracting them and vote for the next Great Leader.
*trans, or immigrants, or Greens, or anyone except themselves
- Comment on Are Americans Actually Idiots? 1 week ago:
Don’t kid yourself.
Trump has support across all age groups.
Go back to ‘Gamergate” and you’ll see how the Right created the incel movement.

Fun historical novel set just after the death of Alexander the Great.
The gryphon’s Skull by Harry Turtledove.
Two peace loving traders just want to travel the Med and make a little money, but things keep happening. And BTW, they’ve found a gryphon’s skull.

- Comment on Are Americans Actually Idiots? 1 week ago:
This is the analogy I use.
Remember those high school seniors who were bullies to everyone and treated the teachers like garbage? The ones who know they were destined to work shitty jobs or join the military because they’d never go to college or get a good trade.
That’s your Trump voter. They know their way of life has peaked. They are too old, too dumb, or too stubborn to adapt to a changing world. They want coal plants and big gas guzzling cars because that’s what they want
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If you don’t have a lease in your name, you’re homeless.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
You can’t talk about homelessness in America without talking about Ronald Reagan.
When Reagan was elected Governor of California, the state had a large number of mental hospitals in place. They weren’t perfect, but treatment was available. reagan thought these places were a waste of tax payer money and had them closed. California now had a lot of homeless folks. They annoyed the locals, so the state had to hire more cops and build more jails.
This worked so well that Reagan did exactly the same when he became President.
My family lived in New York during that era. We went from a few homeless folks down on the Bowery to literally thousands. Every park was full.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
Probably because you don’t know anyone who would pay for something like that.
You have to spend time around rich people to come up with an idea like that.
Epstein got a job at an exclusive private school. He was ’only’ a teacher’ but it gave him access to the ultra wealthy.
Ronald Reagan did the same. He was a mid-level actor who got a gig as a spokesman for a giant corporation. He made sure he was always the poorest guy in the room. People began to offer him stock tips and cut him in for a tiny percentage of multi-million dollar deals.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
There’s an app called ‘Rich Kids’
It requires $1,000.00/month fee. People use it just so they can communicate with other rich folks.
- Comment on Numbers don't lie 1 week ago:
Think about it.
Anyone who has done something before has an advantage over a complete newcomer.
- Comment on Numbers don't lie 1 week ago:
Attitude first.
The noobs look dazed and confused; the Frequent guests know the staff and when the meals are.
- Comment on Numbers don't lie 1 week ago:
Used to work for the local health department. Spent plenty of time in various facilities.
It was always obvious who the folks making their first trip to the psych ward were, and who the frequent guests were.
- Comment on Is there a way I can "hide" money with a program like paypal or something legit? I was planning on getting my family all jerseys on their birthdays. But didn't want to show a huge cash withdraw to do 1 week ago:
For cheaper, go to local sports shops. Plenty sell fake jerseys.
You’ll probably have to make a trip to the actual store, because anything online will have the ’official’ price.
- Comment on In WW2 we were told Hitler was a danger but not to us directly. Iraq was for WMD''s. Now Iran is for oil basically? What if the US got out of other peeps stuff and went isolationist for about 10 years 2 weeks ago:
You mean we let Putin do whatever he wanted to?
Let China stroll into Taiwan?

[slightly off topic]
Isaac Asimov was a professional writer long before he entered college. When the time came for him to write his doctoral thesis, his advisor warned him against being too articulate. Most chemistry majors took the minimum of English classes and were unable to write well.
Asimov had read many papers and knew the dry jargon they used. As an exercise, he wrote his own bad paper.

That’s the best you can come up with?
Going to a rule you already broke?
You just aren’t worthy of my attention.
And when I say I’m done, I’m done.
I know it’s not funny or clever, but you just aren’t worth the minor effort.
- Comment on Ancient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, I already got my full ration of feedback from morons today. Try again tomorrow?
Reminds me an old story.
Two monks live on opposite sides of a lake.
One day the monk on the East bank sends the other a letter. “I am firm and unmovable. I am like a boulder with my roots set deep in the Earth.”
West bank sends back a note. One word. “Fart.”
Enraged, the East bank monk climbs into his boat and rows across to demand satisfaction.
West bank meets him with a smile. “You claim to be firm and unmovable, but I can get you to fly across the lake with a single fart.”
In other words, you funny
- Comment on Ancient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright 2 weeks ago:
Why? Are you that desperate for validation?
- Comment on Ancient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright 2 weeks ago:
Maybe be something better instead?
Maybe take your own advice?
You were insulting in tone when you didn’t have to be. That’s from an unbiased observer.

Got to say, I always liked ‘mad!’
