What other countries. I thought it was supposed to be Americans didn't know geography and didn't care to remember anyone else existed.

In order for us to expend some sort of energy making fun of someone, we'd have to both think of you and work ourselves up to caring about people we know little about in places we'll literally never visit. I'd have to look up new slurs and read up on international politics and shit.

That sounds like a lot, if I'm being honest, and I'd rather rag on Ohio.

Is this...what all memes would be like under communism? I mean, I'm actually disappointed irl about the effort here. You've scraped a hole in the bottom of the barrel. Perhaps in search of potatoes.

Yeahhh. That writing, too, lmao. As a Carolinian, the little faded "comrade" was a good one. Down to earth and huge hearted as he was said to be, I don't think the christian republican co-owner of Dale Earnhardt Inc. is your friendski, pal

It's from It's part of a comedy bit by Keith Lowell Jensen.

A normal human with a normal amount of legs would only need to swing one of them over once.

I've been contentedly silent til now, but I would also like OP to know that I keep them unblocked to laugh at them. I've thought about it several times, but then you get weird shit like "ripped Karl Marx" and "Communists are a separate subspecies of human."

Chiming in, it feels super weird to say, but in part I do like it here because I use it less. Among the things I wanted out of social media, I would not have pegged "inactivity" as an apparent plus and there's no getting around doing something else.

Does make me feel a little guilty, since I'm in essence lurking and then only every couple days when I still want this to succeed and could be offloading literally anything to make that happen. I'm just..distracted at the moment. With not social media.

Musk’s cowboy “pry open the floor and electrical panels with a knife” electrocutes him

That one is a risk I'm willing to take. I had to stop reading the article for a moment to marvel at just how close we really were.

Unsolicited petulance like this is why, instead of being empathetic about a situation we both share, I will never not laugh myself to tears as I watch the NHS deal with its massive backlog by killing brits via slowly privatizing.

You're like the weird kid on the playground, pulling our hair because you have a crush on us

I know, I've really been meaning to and then I forget, and then I remember, and then I forget again. I've never heard it mentioned except in glowing terms. Not really the nihilism, though.

Knowing just barely enough about it in the first place to even have a vested interest, I think maybe I'm too prone to being sad tonight and I'm just gonna shelve it atm and go back to my personal bg3 hell. One should at least have stuffed shells or something, if they're going to feel more apathetic about humanity than I already do.

The saddest part of this was that I'm so used to the creationists' approach to covid that before finishing the headline, I genuinely assumed it was a woman trying to rid themselves of every ounce of their own DNA in a bid to outfox the government.

That's where we are right now. Were I correct, I would not have been fazed. I always loathed that movie with everything in me, but I think it's because I saw it as meaning to entertain rather than to warn.

Impacting the plebeian workforce in a way that's felt even harder than today's inability to afford kids? Yeah, this is gonna be mocked and regulated out of existence for sure.

It'll look like moral reasoning, but the fewer workers exist, the more bargaining power all of them have against the rich. See the scarcity of laborers during the black plague triggering the end of feudalism.
