My favorite all-time insult was laid upon me by my soon-to-be ex:

“Well look at you! You ain’t nothin’! You’re scrawny, you’re an alcoholic and if you didn’t have such a big dick you wouldn’t be worth nothin’!”

Never had an insult shut me the fuck up, instantly. I mean, that really hit home.

OP in the Precambrian

Seems like the walls were closing in for this guy.

All that destruction to provide a couple of hundred jobs. These dumbass politicians think Meta is bringing in a factory, like the old days.

I loathe that woman’s goddamned voice. I think she’s trying to channel Barbara Walters. Second I hear it, off she goes because I know bullshit is coming into my ear canal.

I’m in a conservative area where everyone has guns, so no ICE around here yet, but I have my eyes open as my wife is a brown, legal immigrant. Still, I’m armed everywhere I go, particularly with her, and that fucking sucks as I would formerly only carry in strange places. I now have a gun within reach everywhere in my house.

Other than ICE, I’m afraid Trump’s win and actions have emboldened the most radical racists. Plenty of people around here seem to think she’s Mexican. LOL, Filipinos are indeed Asian Mexicans!

She wants to take a trip home, but I’m scared shitless of getting back in. She’s had plenty of friends who have made the trip in the past few months and is utterly unafraid. OTOH, she’s woefully ignorant about American politics, just now figuring out that Trump is an “evil man”. Also, she thinks her legal status will protect her.

Sometimes it’s a good sign, at least in politics. The 99-1 Senate vote to kill the anti-AI-law ban of the latest bill was telling. Same goes for unanimous SCOTUS decisions. If both liberals and conservatives overwhelmingly agree on a thing, it’s almost certainly a good call.

Then donate time and money to Habitat for Humanity. They’re the only reason I own a home.

in minecraft that is

satire or mockery

What about fair use?

Just commented yesterday that Alabama has the cutest small towns. Dothan seems nice but I don’t think I’ve ever stopped there.

No lie. If anything, this site reminds me that ChatGPT might handle a task for me.

Wife and I walked to the creek last night, chillin’ on the bank. She asked me to toss a scrap of dropped cotton candy in the water. It disappeared INSTANTLY, like it blinked out of existence. Both of us, “Did you see that?!”

And funny enough, I was telling her about the raccoon gif posted here.

“If I say it’s safe to surf this beach, it’s safe to surf this beach!”

Yep, too many icons was a thing in Win95 in 98. Can’t remember if XP cared.

That’s my understanding and experience.

My local waterways aren’t so fucking filthy that swimming has been banned for a century. We spent the 4th happily boating (electric!), swimming, fucking around on the local river, no thoughts of foul water.

Alabama is 70% forest, beautiful to travel the back highways. Judging by the forestry activity I see, they must supply a huge chunk of lumber for the region.

Many, if not most, of the small towns are surprisingly nice, but the wealth gap is on full display. Not a fan of the big cities. Mobile and Birmingham are gross all around.

For almost everyone, the straight-up phone call has become an intrusion.

I feel like everyone, in America anyway, has forgotten that telemarketers weren’t allowed to call cell phones.
