Gotta say I’m really pulling for a Mariners/Brewers WS but I will happily settle for a Jays/Brewers.

I mean it’ll happen, for sure. It’s just that even the deluded, brain rot addled old codgers who’ve lost their capacity for critical thought will pause as a menagerie of inflatable critters stands before gas mask clad stormtroopers and a neuron or two will fire as they note that this is all absurd

This is genuinely one of the best tactics for these protests. When you look fucking stupid as hell, dressed like a goof, and stand facing off against a bunch of over armed, jackbooted thugs it makes it really difficult for them to spin this as a military insurgency. Like, really? The frog?

I really wish there was a way that the Mariners could win a WS but still have Josh Naylor not get a ring. I’m still too traumatized about what he’s done to me over the years as a Sox fan.

Man, not even included in the poll… ouch

You’re probably right but it’s very hard not to be extremely angry with them and their governor for going along with this crap. I know it’s really easy to say “just quit” and a whole different thing to actually do it, but it still really troubles me how little push back we’ve seen from the troops

She’s an independent conservative who swapped to the Democratic Party in 17. She’s run three times in the state and never won a single time despite raising record amounts of cash from out of state. She’s a centrist Democrat who tends to run on maintaining the status quo, which hasn’t really worked

Dude. If these guys already look like this Chicago is going to be very bad for them. The sausages, the Italian Beef, the Pizza. These guys are all gonna have heart attacks

Standard Cheetos or Flamin Hots?

Maybe I’m imagining it, but does it kind of feel like Newsom’s haircuts are getting worse as he gets more anti-LGBTQ? Like some brave hairdresser is getting revenge for him being a twat.

In an era of extreme hustle and grinder culture, remember the virtue of laziness, my friends. How many wonderful steps in human progress are taken purely cause some jerk didn’t feel like working so hard?

100% this

“She died like she lived; making those cheeks clap.”

I don’t think your reaction is in any way overblown. It’s completely valid. And you’re absolutely spot on that it fucking sucks. You’d hope they’d choose to be kind instead of critical and angry.

I get it, tbh. People have so little control on the real world be it their job, school, politics, whatever. The internet makes them feel powerful because at least here they can feel like they have a modicum of control. They can actually impact other people, even if it is negative.

Not to mention the vaccines need to be refrigerated so now you need triple the space.

Yeah, they’re really, really convincing

One tends to look like a dipshit when they are a dipshit. You wouldn’t ask why a duck looks like a duck…

That’s the thing - kids are unfortunately going to be exposed to suicide and rape as they step further and further into the real world. I would rather they have the vocabulary to understand and label these horrors than to try to smooth over the hard edges and pretend they don’t exist.

The Balrog Book book is sick. If he’s a reader, I swear that’ll go over well.

Chicago’s 2025 Budget was $17.1B. If you gave Chicago 10% of the new money for ICE it would represent a 43.8% increase in the budget. That’s a lot of social workers, drug counselors, & homeless shelters. That’s money for camps & youth programs. All more valuable than guys with guns.

Buy him LOTR and if you can afford it, the Rivendell set. That thing looks so freaking cool

If you took the $75B that Trump gave to ICE and split it between the top ten most crime ridden cities for community projects to prevent violence you’d have way more success than sending the National Guard.

We all know this isn’t really about solving crime, but it should still be said.

I’m trying to figure out how to google things about committing arson for a WIP without ending up on a list…
