I used to live in that state. So glad I left, no fucking idea what I was doing there in the first place. Even Texas is better.

I also have an electric mower and honestly that cord drives me fucking insane. There are many things in my yard that it can - and does - get caught up on.

If Reagan's teleprompter had told him to trust Russians, he would have trusted Russians. This was a guy who cut a deal with Iran - the country holding a bunch of US citizens hostage - to not release those hostages until after his inauguration.

If this were

Only reason I don't think this is a legitimate W quote is that it's grammatically correct.

It's not even a chord ... it's just one note from an out-of-tune cowbell.

Not only all that, but also Trump has promised to deport pro-Palestinian protesters. Thinking he's going to be the hero of Palestine is remarkably insane.

One Boeing 737 MAX = 6.5 million avocado toasts. You'd have to go without avocado toast for ... uh ... two weeks?

Samuel Alito’s Wife Goes Full MAGA in Secret Recording ( www.thedailybeast.com )

Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, complained about the Pride flag, ranted about “feminazis,” and explained a flag design that she has been creating in her head in anticipation of when her husband is “free of this nonsense,” according to undercover audio released by a journalist and...

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

The advantage of that particular flag is that there's no way to hang it upside-down.

I have a coworker who hates undocumented immigrants because she thinks they're all unvaccinated and spreaders of disease. This would be an unremarkable bit of stupidity except that she's also anti-vax.

With the textbook example being "national socialism".

Panic is not the way we will solve this crisis.

In this case panic is preferable to completely ignoring the problem as is currently humanity's strategy.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

That's pretty much why I mentioned it. It's absolutely batshit crazy.

It stands for "piled".

I used to live in Shreveport LA where weirdly enough they shot a bunch of major motion pictures after production was moved there from New Orleans after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. One day I was walking to work downtown and outside my office building I passed a really scabbishly-dressed and overly made-up prostitute (not a common sight there). I kind of scowled at her and she gave me a what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you look as I passed by and went into the building. When I got to the office everybody was lined up at the windows and they told me that I had apparently walked through a movie set and that had been Demi Moore dressed as a prostitute (it was some movie with Kevin Costner playing a serial killer). They were all kind of outraged that I had interfered with the filming but I had the same attitude towards it that you did with Clooney. Like, why the fuck am I supposed to be happy about a film production interfering with my existence? I didn't get any money out of the deal, and it wasn't even a good movie.

I don't remember if she was still married to Bruce Willis at this point, which was 2006 or thereabouts, but she was hanging out with Ashton Kutcher in Shreveport because I kept encountering the couple at restaurants and bars. Also had dinner with Ted Danson one evening because he was sitting alone at the table next to me and my friends reading a paperback book and looking sad and lonely so we invited him to join us - he's actually a nice, normal, friendly guy.

And replace the windows with that sugar glass they use in movies.

Nah, those 8 are probably more like "how do those 3.8 billion poor people have anything?"

Only need 1 and a sponge. And we don't really need the sponge.

'Confused' Judge Cannon needed concept explained 'slowly' to her in court by lawyers: NYT ( www.rawstory.com )

As part of an analysis of how U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, reports from her courtroom show a judge who is both "prickly" and" insecure" and often has trouble understanding what lawyers from both sides try to explain to her....

often has trouble understanding

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

A libertarian is a democrat trying to sleep with a republican. Or vice versa.

Whatever doesn't kill you sends you to the ER.

That's really not accurate. Prior to Pearl Harbor we were 1) helping extensively to re-arm Britain in their fight against Germany, 2) fighting an undeclared but active war against German U-boats in the Atlantic, and 3) placing an economic embargo on Japan in response to their ongoing invasion of China - the very act that precipitated the Pearl Harbor attack.

It's in Jack Kirby's style but I don't think it was drawn by Jack Kirby.

we didn’t beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion

Ironically enough, we beat the fascists with a command economy aimed squarely at maximizing war materiel production. Free enterprise my ass ...

Would the USSR be able to win the war without the USA?

FWIW Kruschev said no fucking way, despite later claims of the Soviet leadership to have not needed US support. US-supplied weapons weren't very important, but US food and trucks and petroleum allowed Soviet industry to focus primarily on weapons production.

Victim reports his father missing. Police instead interrogated him for 17 hours, said they killed his dog, and withheld his meds from the victim. Victim tried to commit suicide in the room. ( lemmy.world )

At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

if they were to threaten to kill my dog then I’d very likely do whatever they asked

I wouldn't, just because I'd assume they'd be just as likely to kill my pet anyway even after I confessed to something I didn't do.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

The police are allowed to lie to you.

They're also allowed to just be flat-out wrong about stuff. Like, for example, the law. You'd think as enforcers of the law they would be legally required to actually know the law, but that's a big nope.

The best part of that was him claiming it would fix the homelessness problem here. No free carts, no homeless people pushing their belongings around the streets.

I (white boy) visited India in the early '90s and brought back a bunch of rolls of half-Rupee coins as souvenirs. Turns out they were the exact same weight and diameter as US quarters (even down to the number of ridges, which makes me suspect India bought a bunch of used US minting machines to make them), so I started using them at laundromats. The exchange rate at the time was 35 Rs to the dollar, so a load in the US that normally cost $1 was costing me less than 6 cents. I do feel bad for the harassment that actual Indian customers probably ended up receiving, although possibly the owners never noticed or cared.

We are on the path from ruin to annihilation.

all the “rich” people that conservative middle class people are mad at are upper middle class people

They also hate wealthy actors and musicians.

My aunt died in 2013 and at the reception after her funeral my cousin (her stepson) suggested the whole family make a "Harlem Shake" video. Even as a joke it would have been staggeringly tasteless, but he wasn't joking.

At least he didn't suggest putting my aunt in it, I suppose.

I was tempted to get back into shoplifting yesterday morning when I went to the grocery store to get flowers and saw the prices. If I could have jammed that vase into my back pocket, I probably would have tried it.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

You're missing the point of ACAB. All cops are either bastards or they tolerate and join ranks behind the ones who are actually bastards - making them bastards as well. Whistleblower cops are not bastards, but they end up not being cops any more and often not being alive any more.

I remember taking my first archaeology class in college and seeing pictures of statuettes with big breasts and butts and learning that they represented a "cult of fertility". Only much later did I realize it was just 20,000 year old porn.

Aren't those the guys who feed beers to their tattoos?

I made the mistake of giving Churu lickable cat treats to my cat. She used to come to me all the time for affection and scritches - now she just wants Churu and expresses her supreme dissatisfaction with my existence at every point in time when I am not giving her Churu.

The Whitest Kids You Know could have done a skit on this. They did have one skit making fun of the lax security around Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater.

The episode where George and Jerry pretend to be the names printed on a limo driver's placard in order to get a free ride from the airport and end up getting driven to a white supremacist rally was the peak of the show, but after watching Curb Your Enthusiasm it's pretty obvious whose sense of humor produced that one.

racist general who is clearly looney toons asking a black soldier to dance cause its in his blood

Weirdly enough, that role was played by the actor who portrayed Colonel Potter in later seasons.

Damn, all these years and I never realized that's what it literally meant. I always knew what the expression meant figuratively but not its literal origin.

It's never House.

I had a boss once who avoided paying taxes on his 49' sailing yacht by "donating" it to his church. It was then technically owned by the church (so no taxes, either transfer or property) but he still used it exclusively.
