Here’s the link to a site apparently put up by the Cards Against Humanity folks detailing their side of the story: https://elonowesyou100dollars.com/

Always nice to see an honest political ad.

True. My comment was addressing the perception of Biden as portrayed by the major media outlets (they rarely ever mention that Trump is nearly the same age), but I concede that my comment could have been clearer in that regard.

Yeah, it doesn’t matter, at least for me. One candidate is old while the other is a 34 times convicted felon. The latter has made it clear he intends to dismantle the democratic institutions of our country and turn it into another fascist regime. At this point the DNC could platform a watermelon in a wig and I’d still vote for them over the convicted felon.

Thousands of hours in Skyrim and I’ve yet to kill a bunny once. To be clear, this is intentional. I wish no ill on the bunnies. Just happy that I’ve somehow managed to not kill one accidentally.

She’s not exactly a shining example of morality. Just say’n.

The fools

While the concepts outlined in the team’s new paper pave the way toward making travel through space nearing light speed a reality, constructing such an engine is likely something that will only be feasible far in the future, as the present state of technology would not allow for such a device.

If they made a documentary about the life of little Bobby’s brain worm, I might watch that. Provided, of course, that it’s also narrated by Woody Harrelson.

The funny thing is it was the Trump WH medical staff that was found to be illegally distributing drugs to staffers. Not saying definitively that Trump was partaking, but …

The media did indeed hype him up for many years, but at least some of us saw past that and realized that he wasn’t all he was cracked up to be.

I’m not from NY, but I too was paying attention back in the day and can confirm, the Orange Turd has always been a deranged, self-absorbed, shit stain of a human being.

Almost ironic, isn’t it.

Real shame they blew up those statues of Buddha. Those might have draw in some tourists. :|

I’ve already scaled back my use owning in part to the LLM (AI) menace and general enshitification, but if my country (USA) went fully authoritarian I would definitely scale back my use of the Internet even more.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for addition of “Guzzle my entire septic tank.” to my repertoire of insulting phrases. 😆

LOL, thanks for that article link. Fun read.

I can’t speak authoritatively regarding ocean cruises as I’ve only ever been on a river cruise. It was, from what I’ve come to understand, a very different experience. However, I have become acquainted with a number of regular ocean cruise goers and the authors comments regarding it being part cult and part pyramid scheme rings true in my mind. There’s definitely an almost cult-like adoration of cruise ships and the cruising life-style. Those people plan their lives around their next cruise. The amount of time and money they spend on cruises can be… shocking.

The only other antidote I can give is my experience witnessing what happens when a cruise ship full of tourists let out at what was a few minutes before a relatively quiet historical destination. The place was an ancient coastal fortification (sorry, I won’t give the precise name/location as I prefer to not give out too many details of my life/travels), and for a couple hours prior to the arrival of the cruise ship it was fairly quiet with only a smattering of other tourists there, allowing us to explore the ruins and mull over some of it’s curious architectural features and generally speculate as to how it’s inhabitants may have lived. Suddenly, we heard a cacophony of voices, many of them shouting. Soon, the entire place (it was a sizable, sprawling fortification) was practically overrun with cruise passengers who had apparently been dropped off like toddlers to a daycare by their weary mothers. Seemingly, being on a cruise entitles you to be as loud and obnoxious as possible. It was clear, that many weren’t even aware of what this place was or it’s historical significance based on the many stupid questions we heard blurted out at the top of their lungs. We tried to solder on, but eventually we were forced to retreat out of frustration and embarrassment (most of the cruise goers were clearly from North America just like us). Anyway, it was probably the event that most solidified the idea in my mind that I do not wish to ever take part in an ocean cruise. Despite this event taking place more than two decades ago, the thought of being around people like that nearly 24/7 to this day fills me with profound dread.

Just another delay tactic. Here’s hoping that the courts eventually get tired of all his BS and throw the book at him.

1. It would be a pain in the ass
2. You’d still have to post (alt)text for accessibility reasons
3. OCR exists

If this weren’t real life that it’d make a great premise for a comedy show.
