  • Because stupidity can be used as a mask for malice

    Plausible deniability .... generally doing things and pretending that you have no knowledge or awareness of what happened so its not your fault and you have no responsibility

    It's modern day politics and race baiting these days .... you say one thing to be an absolute turd and when you get called on it all, you deny everything, redirect, and ignore everything ... your malicious self keeps hiding behind the mask of stupidity to keep doing whatever it is you want to say or do all the time ... then do it again and again until your behaviour is so normalized that it's no longer seen as malicious or stupid ... it's just normal now.

  • Amateur weapons to a nuclear weapons specialist

  • That's an interesting way of saying their plans are working as designed.

  • Everyone keeps pointing fingers at this orange clown

    Yet no one ever talks about the circus freaks that let him take control and call him their king.

  • I remember reading about something that described this thought in a Star Wars fan site once. The stories that show human characters or human like characters everywhere, aren't really human at all ... they are more like place holders for exotic space alien beings that we can't even imagine.

    I'd like to think that of Star Trek as well. The stories are just stories being shown for our convenience because the aliens they would encounter would be so strange and foreign to us that we wouldn't be able to believe it, let alone understand it

  • Same here .... all I do is read most of the time ... I'm only interested in reading about 2,000 words which shouldn't take any data .... yet Firefox will struggle under the weight of advertising, adblock, scripts, background links, preloading and all kinds of stupidity that I will not and refuse to use.

  • The thumbnail had me worried (and curious, even titulated) that this was going to be NSFW, especially that it referenced Ensign Ro

    Instead it was just NSFE

    Not Safe For Eyes

  • Instead of an 80s genre theme song like they did with Enterprise .... they'll probably upgrade to a 90s ska band style in this one.

  • Cops on the corner always ignoredSomebody's getting paidTrumpy's got it wired, law's for hireGot it made in the shade

  • I ride motorcycle and I love that one. I have an adapter for the phone so I can keep the phone screen in front of me while I ride. I just never use it because I don't want to operate a device while I'm on a bike, no matter how sophisticated you can make it.

    I just have it on in case of emergency.

    But I can go for long quiet rides in the country side where nothing is happening and no one will ever call.

    As soon as I'm in traffic, an intersection or somewhere busy where I need full attention .... someone decides to call and I can see my screen light up.

  • My wife has a sixth sense of knowing when I'm on the toilet.

    I can quietly go about my day, no one ever calls or wants me .... enter the toilet, pull my pants down, in the process of doing my business and the phone rings. Not every time I go to the toilet ... but just about every time she calls, I'm on the toilet. It's uncanny.

    Then she gets mad at me for not answering right away or ignoring the call. I always call her back and ask her how she knows when I'm on the toilet.

  • I know you were making a joke about everything .... but your reminder and note about the song Runaway Train by Soul Asylum was just the right thing I needed right now. I love that song and its always a reminder of just how lucky I've been in my life. I'm middle aged now and I've built some sort of life for myself ... I have enough, I've done lots and I've yet to do more ... if circumstances hadn't have turned out when I was lot younger (and trust me, I had plenty of opportunities to ruin my life early on), I would have ended up in similar lost stories as some dumb kid that disappeared into nothing never to be heard from again.

    So whatever, your meaning to post your comment and that link ... I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's a subtle little nudge in my life that I needed today.

    Thanks ever so deeply.

  • People also like McDonald's and coca cola ...... even when they have runaway diabetes.

    The popularity of something or someone is just a barometer of the general intelligence of a population ..... and judging by what's happening in the US, it's a very low level indeed.

  • Waiter: ...... sir? .... this is my third block of cheese? ... (keeps grinding more cheese)

  • It goes further back than that .... it's at the moment some nutjob in the desert told a bunch of goat herders that he had a mental breakdown from hunger or eating some wild psychedelic and saw angels, demons and god in the wilderness ... and everyone just ran with it for 3,000 years as some sort of moral revelation that we all need to follow or else we will burn in hell forever.

  • Stalin already tried that tactic and it didn't work ... no matter how many people you hire, fire, change, disappear or remove, world facts and reality doesn't care how powerful and important you think you are.

  • At this point in history, we have enough lemons in the world that could generate critical mass and collapse into a black hole.

  • On a 14" CRT monitor? It looked fantastic! .... or maybe it was just the radiation I was feeling?

  • Located at Wolf 359 ...... you should have seen the epic battle they had in the parking lot last Friday between a bunch of green coloured meth addicts with funky cyberpunk arm prosthetics and a group of mall cops in spandex uniforms.
