I was thinking the same, but less eloquently.

“Femcels won’t date neckbeards, and incels won’t date fat chicks”

Yours is much better

tl;dr: Yes you can become a Nazi, if the seed is there to begin with.

Everyone has dark thoughts and urges deep in their heart, and everyone has biases and prejudices to overcome. Most of us are able to balance and control these things. We learn and grow, see our own faulty reasoning over time, and allow compassion and empathy to see others as we see ourselves. I think Kanye is an example of wealth allowing unregulated behavior, combined with spiraling mental health, to amplify those prejudices and dark thoughts into twisted new beliefs.

I’m not trying to make excuses for Mr West. His behavior is reprehensible. I can also see how someone who is already borderline narcissistic gets their pride reinforced through creative success. I can see how a man who is part of an oppressed minority would be suspicious of those with more power and influence. And i can see how those factors could be amplified as that person becomes wealthier, more successful in their pursuits, and less beholden to other’s social mores.

I think conservatorships are problematic and easily abused. I also think Kanye needs the boundaries a conservatorship could place on him. He’s obviously unwell. I know him, because I have a friend just like him, only poor. My friend doesn’t blame “the Jews”, but they are not happy, even when well medicated. And when they spiral, it’s ugly

BTW, I don’t always agree with you Squid, but I’m still glad you escaped the US. Wishing you and your family the best

Joshua Dean had a memory keen

He was strong and he ran every day

But his lungs turned to goo And he had a stroke too

At 46, he was sent on his way

Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama

And he took a lot of pride in his work

He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly

And now he’s over his head in the dirt

You can know a lot

You can know a little

But whatever you know

Just don’t blow the whistle

++???++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.

I’ve found a lot of success in working through things logically when the painful memories return.

What does this memory teach me?

Have I learned all I can from this memory?

If it has taught me everything it can, I can set this memory aside, as there is no purpose in dwelling on it.

I am a better person because of the lessons learned, thank you memory, you have served me well. You may rest

This puts me in a position of acknowledging my imperfections without suffering long term regret. I can’t change the past, and if I’ve learned from it, then I need to live in the Now, not the Then

You clearly haven’t had to screw a flathead screw.

Anyone that’s dicked around with those little bastards starts hating life after about thirty seconds. A fastener I can screw in a without having to be perfectly in line with the shaft? Yes please! I don’t care if it’s a shitty Phillips screw, sign me up. I’d even take those goofy square Canadian screws. Hell, anything is better than flathead.

I challenge you to find a screw worse to use than a flathead screw.

Well, I’d better replace it then

Sorry gov’, we’re right out of dictators. I’ve got a slug

No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence

I feel Sir Pterry will outlive us all

“I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People,” said the golem calmly.

“I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!”

"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.

• Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

That’s nothing! I can last in 100C water, for a (very short) while

Now with vitamin R!

Short Circuit.

It… has not aged well. The practical effects are decent, and the comedy is okay. The brown-face? Not so much. NGL tho, Fischer Stevens had some great lines:

Howard: What if it goes out and melts down a bus load of nuns? How would you like to write the headline on that one!?

Benjamin: Nun soup?

Didn’t this happen with the last MSFS? I seem to remember Steam extending the refund period for that game. But I could’ve dreamed that

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You’ve probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90’s (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically “Hoe-down”. You just associate it with a particular food

Just past the 1 minute mark is where it gets real familiar

You have to go faster to get on top of the snow. Like a speedboat. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I recommend the Dodge Viper

(/jk, in case it wasn’t obvious)

All jokes aside, there’s a vast difference between driving slower in inclement weather and doing 10 mph in a 40, as the top commenter suggested. Now, was my original comment a bit of a shitpost? A little tongue-in-cheek? Sure!

At the end of the day, we just want to get home safe. But if conditions are bad enough to be doing 1/4 of the speed limit just to be safe? Stay home. People that drive that too slow in the snow are just as dangerous as those that drive too fast. And it’s not just ability, but equipment as well

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I’m not out there tailgating people and passing, but I’m sure as hell wishing they’d piss off back home and let those that know how to drive get where they’re going

I don’t care what you think, and I’ll die on this ditch.

HILL! This… damnit

So you’re the dickweed out on the roads doing 10 mph in the snow.

Stay home

Some of us know how to drive in the snow

(Slow on ice is acceptable, but if it’s an ice storm, stay home anyway. No reason to wind up in a ditch because you wanted Twinkies)

Imagine being an animated skeleton.

Imagine that skeleton has a thin layer of nerves over the bones. You know, for touching things

Imagine being allergic to gluten

Imagine your bones itching because your asshole roommate gave you glutenous snacks
