Ook the Librarian

I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.

If.

Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.

edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.

Fun fact: 200-foot radio towers are free. You can take them home. I have 257 200-foot radio towers.

How can you enjoy your tea without a window?

That’s fucked.

“We need some one to play Rosa Parks.”

“Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic.”

They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.

This is just more propaganda from the People’s Front of Judea.

One is allowed to call a joke gross regardless of the definition of a joke.

Maybe I’ve always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.

I’m happy to hang out in the “no, you won’t” camp with. But the support the idea of a Texit lately is markedly ramped up. (The idea was never without support.) Part of me kinda suspects that some of the “think tank” minds are worried about losing Texas in the general mostly due to the overturning Roe still hanging over their heads.

If Texas is purple while CA is solid blue, then everyone will hate the Electoral College. The “think tank” conservatives can’t have that.

So I agree, secession is unlikely, but IMO that’s because it isn’t a ballot initiative like Brexit. Not because the people saying it aren’t serious.

That’s easier to boycott than diapers, my friend.

I’m a bit worried that the plan for the secessionists is to do something so spectacular (literally) as to try to cause there to be good reason to “pause to election”.

Just so then, they can prove Biden to be a dictator, and actually have an argument. Pausing an election would be truly unsettling.

So if there is a crisis about Electoral College stating of states close to November, that’s a powder-keg situation.

I’m honestly not claiming we need to avoid this kind of crisis. Just saying be careful what you wish for.

Buying cat litter when you also need diapers and have to shop with a baby in tow? I’ll be anti-consumer next year.

Like they would open source Zed instead of locking it up in a museum and claiming their version is the best.

Humans are horrible, but a main-stream social media platform should not be a celebration of it. People need to demand change and then leave if ignored. I seem to hear people demanding change. The next step has more impetus.

They have four legs. No arms to bear.

Human shields should not be used. Human shields should not be bombed. I know this sounds like enlightened centrism, but it’s pretty clear, only the civilians were innocent. I cannot, simply cannot, support bombing a human shield. There is no point in defending it.

“Hamas uses human shields and has been for a long time. We know this. Everyone knows this.” only points to a clear bad guy if the human shield isn’t bombed. Never have I uttered one breath of support for Hamas. Using a human shield is deplorable.

Many different nations expressed support for the US in war efforts after 9/11. That support slowly dwindled as more and more atrocities were reported. Israel is speedrunning support loss.

There’s really nothing stopping a super PAC from buying pornhub ads, is there?

If they don’t turn around, I’d rather have my dog.

Kilborn had a comedy show that looked like a news show. Even the interviews of the daily guest had a zany, fake-pressure vibe.

Stewart used comedy to get people engaged in a news show. Everyone else that has tried has either had too much comedy, or too much news. Too much news sounds like video essays and too much comedy isn’t as impactful.

I liked the Kilborn show. He kind of an asshole, but I’m not one to hold that against people. But I feel we need the Stewart show.
