Jfc. There is nothing that makes my blood boil more than torture of innocent animals and children.

I’ve also seen local no-name pedos get 20+ years for less than 20 images/charges. Seriously, why do economy-sized buckets of horror net a discount on justice? Fucking disgraceful.

Justice would be this dude taking a trip through a blender. At the very least, 25 to life.

Emotionally estranged offspring of farming folk here: yeah I would not be shocked if some decide to quit while they’re ahead and don’t even bother putting seed in because there are enough cracks in the story to question whether they’ll get their usual bailout in time or with enough cash to make up for shit yields.

Maybe some small-timers call it quits. Maybe they rent the land to someone else to farm it, maybe for real cheap. Maybe it’s a real great time for some of them there South African immigrants (white farmers) to “pick up the slack” and farm it. And heck, maybe they won’t even need the help of SA “visitors” who have been year for 15+ years already, traversing the countryside custom harvesting. Or maybe they will, and it’ll be one more way for a Big, Beautiful Partnership™ to emerge from this totally unmanufactured crisis!

But Trump wouldn’t have done (and most definitely isn’t doing) any favors for his frenemy Musk and his poor disparaged countrymen, right?

He and his henchmen are probably just being literal here about the gold standard.

“Yep so we are doing science that all but guarantees the outcome of some researched thing (of some value perceived to be stable or at least predictable, might as well be gold) is predicted to be exploitable explorable further in some way, preferably fiscally.”

Scientific integrity, psh, it all about that dolla dolla bill y’all

Alternatively, a huge load of horseshit.

Typeface might be the same, but the font is wrong. Width doesn’t match (compare the Os and As) and the kerning is shit.

Par for a dictator’s course.

I thought this was good news, until I read the comments.

If the courts aren’t giving up, don’t give up either.

Let’s stop normalizing this rolling over business, eh?

My guess is they don’t want data scientist types to find trends pointing to the possible “moderation” of viral posts of a certain political potency, not to make them more popular, but to suppress or wholly censor something impactful from being spread further. Censorship. I mean censorship.

It just wouldn’t surprise me if posts that started being shared at an explosive rate for insert highly-affecting thing here were quietly “turned off” for many an audience’s algorithm at some point by meddlesome human hands. The public having this data could reveal that or other types of manipulation when compared to other platforms, in aggregate, etc.

But idk, not a data doctor

Holy f u c k .

All of what follows from me here is completely speculative based on the article summary and your very, very insightful, horrifying addition.

The “Supreme Court” doing a “good thing” in frankly both maga and non-maga groups’ eyes would basically be them attempting to placate the masses with a contrived hope for relief and, perhaps, a false sense of governmental integrity.

Maybe the SEC now maintains a way sharper grip on publicly trading companies for some reason, idk like some weird fasc-on-fasc rank enforcement shit. Or maybe taxes. Probably bribes. Anyway the corps are possibly being “urged” to steady their prices, giving us folks a wee break in this economical trainwreck, as “proof” that “returning” the tariffs helped in some way.

I mean, with the number of companies bending the goddamn knee in the stupidest ways, you have to wonder if they weren’t, ahem, “targeted,” in some additional way. I’ll bet in some way, the corps ran the numbers and figured they’d stand to lose less money shedding DEI supporters than whatever they’ve been told they stood, or still stand, to lose.

Honestly at this point I think all these rich and/or bought mfers in top fed positions are just creating their golden parachutes, like any good CEO would really, before the bottom drops out. Before the country’s company’s brain, ineffective and tripping on its own chemicals, finally dies, and is quickly liquified, the body already robbed for spare parts. Whatever heart that entity (theoretically) may have had, it shut down a long time ago.

What if… What if Bubba is an animal? 💀

I’m high and I don’t know what this means but it sounds absolutely fantastic.

Mofo ain’t no Goebbels

He’s absolutely without a doubt Adult Caillou

Knowing a lot of families are going to be affected by this, this a tragedy no matter who or what is to blame. This is scary as hell all things considered, but we (or at least I) have to remember that a vast majority of investigations following crashes like this implicate a series of tiny but compounding errors. Regardless, it will still take time to figure out.

My speculation based on the video that could point to human error: It appears the aircraft were possibly closing in on each other somewhat perpendicularly for an extended amount of time. With their relative speeds/distances to the crash point, the aircraft may have appeared as remaining at the same point in each other’s respective windows, with nighttime glare and light pollution effects making scale and distance hard to judge.

However, just from a momentum and maneuverability standpoint, the aircraft with the “right of way” here was almost certainly the jet on course for landing, and it would have been the helicopter’s responsibility to establish and maintain visuals.

But who knows at this point. All I know is I’m tired of tragedy in every form.

I feel like I just read a Dr. Bronner’s soap bottle label.

I love this! Free cat scratchers might not seem like they have much value, but has anyone seen the price of those ready-made things?! They’re pushing $20 for a large-ish flat scratcher at lower volume places like TSC, but Target isn’t much better, still $10 for a 10" x 18" flat cheapy.

Down with bougie cat cardboard!!!

[Ah yes, a solid B+ troll, using the “are you all right” trope to get a rise out of me. The following would be my “rise.”]

Oh for cripes sake, can you not see I was leaning into your trolling mindset with my first bit?!! Keep fuckin moving the goalpost, y’all are good at that.

[Yes, I clearly suspended my disbelief in trying to see what exactly is legitimate under all of what you’ve said so far. It’s a fascinating occupation you’ve taken on, Professional Troll of Dubious Intent (PTODI), but if even if you actually don’t harbor these shitty thoughts against people, you are literally, actually right this moment making the entire platform of discourse shittier. I guess I should step outside my human brain and understand that some purported humans just want to watch the world burn. Sigh… Fuckin PTODIs.]

Aaaaand now I wonder if you (and your friend) are experiencing a wicked case of DID. Please consult your totally real psychologist on that for more info on how to reign in your diverging personalities. (Wouldn’t wanna have to get your lawyer involved, you know, like if your online troll personality state starts wreaking legal havoc in real life. Who would be to blame? You?! Or you?!!?!)

Serious question. And making the forgiving assumption your “friend” wasn’t just a cover story. This troll business you opened up here, do you you actually believe and stand behind what you profess?

It took me all of 90 seconds to read through your comment history and confirm you are in some kind of pain, the kind that breeds misplaced anger at the lack of stability in your own identity.

You did, however, ponder one valuable bit of insight at the end of your recent AITA post (15 days ago) regarding your wife quitting her job and her not listening to you. Please follow your instinct here. Please do be open to your wife about going your separate ways.

Real talk, she will be better off without you. You act as if she’s holding you back, all the while it sounds like she’s been holding you up. It seems you are the one holding both of you back, and projecting this financial and identity instability onto others is illustrative of your own issues.

You don’t seem like a legitimate troll. You seem like you’re fighting for your own identity and you’re projecting your frustrations by asserting other people are deluded in knowing who they are and somehow insane for wanting a modicum of human respect. Yet I think you and many, many others like you, are those truly struggling.

I think you are currently showing a lack of respect to others because, deep down, you don’t respect yourself. And that is not okay. Needing and seeking help and direction from others, including mental health professionals, is not a blue-haired liberal thing, it’s a human thing. Please consider it.

I must admit, I am a bit high right now, but I tittered heartily at your lighthearted turnabout, and then my mind, well, now it’s blown, because I now must ask… Does any particular ethnicity or racial identity have a statistically significantly higher birth rate than any and all other identity groups simply because, and with all other factors controlled for, they find themselves and people like them just so irresistibly sexy that they can’t help but have the sexy sex with each other, and because they are both so damn sexy they can’t even right now, and “we’re having sex can’t you see” and ask you to come back later to ask your weird sex questions???

Any particular one? … Anyone?
