… Or you could just read a history book that wasn’t written by a Mao fanboi.

My bad! Another classic. Mel Brooks just does not miss.

Is it fair to say that Mel Brooks movies are uncommon now? Have they gotten old enough that people today are generally ignorant of them? If so, “Blazing Saddles”, “History of the World: Part 1”, “Young Frankenstein”, and “Spaceballs” are incredibly worthy of a watch.

I think that, in the moment, online arguments can feel extremely real and heated. But, then you go out and do other things, and it becomes less and less important over time.

Of course, then you come back and find a notification from one of those morons you’ve been arguing with, and then you’re right back in it. So I guess just practice? Like, just keep reminding yourself that it doesn’t actually matter, even if it feels like it does.

Also, shrooms help. I remember I got into a heated snit with some idiot online an hour or so before eating a bunch of caps. Then, when I was trying to explain what the argument was about to one of my friends, I couldn’t finish because hearing myself explain it became apparent just how ridiculous the entire thing was. I think psychedelics just give you perspective that you’re lacking in your normal day-to-day life.

I saw a loaf of Rosemary Focaccia on sale the other day, and it occurred to me that “Rosemary Focaccia” is a great drag name.

I mean, you can. ChatGPT hasn’t steered me far wrong yet, though, and I’ve used it quite a lot over the past 4 months or so. It’s really quite good.

I hate the official python documentation. I often find what I’m looking for much quicker just by asking ChatGPT. You can even ask it to pretend it’s William Shatner while explaining how to use a given function. So that’s fun.

Hey - maybe they shouldn’t have been fucking traitors if they didn’t want to be hated. It’s a pretty simple solution, you know.

Hey - you’ll get no argument from me that the Democratic party sucks, or that it’s owned by the same lobbyists that own Republicans. That being said, the differences you outlined when saying that there’s very little difference are big fucking differences.

I love that there’s no skip button lol

Little difference, except their inept economic policies, and their absolutely shit social policies and refusal to accept climate change…

I don’t know, man. Sounds like some pretty fucking big differences to me.

Yeah. I was thoroughly disillusioned by what the DNC did to Bernie. Really pissed me off. Still voted for Hillary, though, because her opponent is a literal monster. I hate having to make that kind of choice every 4 years: “vote for the shitty candidate who will do very little, or vote for an actual piece of shit who will do everything in their power to strip all of the progress we’ve made in the 20th century”. It’s awful.

I can’t say one single fucking word about how the trials related to trump are a complete out of control purely political witchhunt

I mean, you can say that all you’d like. Just don’t be surprised when people judge you to be not very intelligent because of it. It is a profoundly dumb take, after all.

It’s funny to consider “love of country” to mean “the food, certain people, and beautiful landmarks”, while simultaneously condemning the actions of its government, and like half of the citizens who live there.

Not that I’m criticizing, mind. I struggled with this myself for a long time before finally coming to the realization that this country is like a problematic family. You’re told that you should love it even if you don’t like lots of aspects of it very much. Like an abusive parent.

I’m in my 40s now, and I’ve finally realized that that’s bullshit. I don’t love this country. I used to, but I’ve realized that I only ever loved the idea of this country while the reality has been a profound disappointment.

The barbecue is good, though. So that’s nice.

Except there were rumors for a long time that Michael Jackson sexually abused Macaulay Culkin at the Neverland Ranch. Granted, Macaulay has repeatedly denied those rumors, but still. If it were anybody else in the pose of Michael Jackson, the joke wouldn’t work as well.

Tell me you don’t know how vaginas work without telling me that you don’t know how vaginas work.

You know, it’s often hard to tell with guys like you whether you’re trolling, or actually genuinely stupid. Of course I took the boosters. I’m not a moron.

So, out of curiosity, do you ever look at the reactions of normal people to your idiocy and think: “Gee… maybe I’m wrong about this thing that I’m completely fucking devoted to?”

Hey - I believe that extraordinary talent should be recognized. And you, my friend, have an extraordinary talent for stupidity.

I don’t know, bigots?

Damn. Dude creates an account, and doesn’t post or comment with it for 2 months. Then, he breaks that streak by posting possibly one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. What a fuckin’ legend.
