No wonder Jesus hasn’t come back. We never miss a chance to remind him of what happened last time

No, you’re thinking of the other Mr. Ato, inventer of the potato

I should call her

If anyone knows how it should be pronounced it would be Mr. Ato himself

I don’t know who top left is, but I reckon Bin Laden’s the safe bet here

Typical example of a car manufacturer losing touch with what the public wants. Four dimensional cars were a hard sell, most people didn’t really get it. And nobody gives a rat’s ass about the fifth dimension except using it as a place to dump their trash.

These people have an overwhelming predisposition to take a shit on everything. They encountered a thing. They took a shit on it.

I feel sorry for the US team, Trump’s interference put them in such a shameful situation. Everything he touches turns to shit.

He’s just trying to make the best of a stroke

are your guts… how long are your guts?

I really need to know

‘cos we’re livin’ in a world of fools

trapped in their skin

when they all should set it free

your guts belong to me

You can play it when you’re 81 years older than you are now

There’s no contradiction here. The US military exists to preserve and extend capitalism. Taking care of veterans would be socialist. Being abandoned by the state, as soon as you no longer serve a purpose for generating profit, is the best way to say thank you. It shows that everything you fought for is successful and working better than ever!

Such a sad ending when the Beast transforms into a prince and Belle is trying to pretend like she’s not completely gutted. Who the fuck even is this dude? That’s not what she signed up for and we all know it.

So I totally get what you mean, when you say that your kids don’t affect you the same way other people do. To me that just sounds like you’re one of the good eggs :D

Thanks, but I think what it really means is that the way you relate to your kids is not like anyone else. Like I never imagined that I would be ok with cleaning up another person’s shit. People working in nursing homes handle that stuff every day but I just couldn’t. But when it’s your own kid, it’s just… different. Still objectively disgusting but somehow acceptable, in the same way that I’m ok with wiping my own ass because it’s a part of me. Well, in some way my kids are a part of me too.

I like that I get a break from other people because it overwhelms me to be around more than three people for long stretches of time. That just how I am and that is why I’m childless.

Is that with everybody or just people you don’t know and feel comfortable with? I mean, I’m intensely uncomfortable in many social situations but my kids don’t trigger that response at all.

Which is not to say it’s all fun and games. They are immensely hard work and the choices you have about how you spend your time, what holidays or other leisure activities you do, tend to be dictated by the presence of kids. Even if it’s something you do to take time off from the kids, that’s still driven by the kids in a way. It’s a whole different set of priorities, though I don’t regret having them at all.

Computers are people too

didn’t make it past the first milking

What would be great is if some of the major newspapers ran a headline like:

The redactions put it beyond reasonable doubt: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ was ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ children on ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ island. The president is a ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ and everybody knows it.

At the least it would be nice if there were a swing in consumerism towards AI-free simple products that just do that one thing we bought them for. And are advertised as such. Somehow I doubt it though. Looking at Lemmy it looks like that’s what people want, but I fear that may be a small bubble in a big sea of idiocy.

Or kill just half of them and then, as a compromise, only kill half of the ones who are left (repeat until total remaining Palestinians is less than 1)
