Op creates profile that makes him look rich and stupid.

Gets targeted by bots using ai generated images of mildly attractive women.

Thinks he’s actually attracting human beings.

Anon still has never willingly gotten the attention of a human woman besides his mother

They don’t have the authority under the current government.

A government is just a series of rules enforced by people who follow those rules. If enough people decide to ignore the rules, they can do whatever they want.

The last defense for those rules is the military, but trump wants to fire a ton of generals and appoint his own people, who won’t bat at an eye at blatant constitutional violations.

Give it a few months and the DOGE duo will probably have significant sway over budgets, regardless of how much authority they have on paper.

What’s the name of the cow you get your raw milk from?

Do you get a veterinary report about her with every bottle of milk?

So he was wearing an ankle monitor, got reported missing on Friday, the monitor showed him being at the gym and not moving, and it still took the cops until Monday to find his body?

WTF. Do Indianapolis cops get weekends off? And no one at the gym reported the horrible, rancid, smell coming from the tanning room? None of the employees checked out the smell of death emanating from a room they should be cleaning nightly?

I’ve been apathetic at jobs before, but planet must really suck your soul out to be that apathetic. I’ve smelled dead bodies before, it’s not exactly something you just walk passed and think “oh that’s ripe”

I was wondering how the scientists went from proposing a planet that was 1.5 to 2 times the size of earth, to proposing it being 5-10 times the size of earth.

The old money guy who took home a road kill bear for food, and contracted a brain eating parasite, is now running the food and drug administration.

We’re all gonna die from parasites, aren’t we. The brain worm was just playing dead and wants to infect us all.

You Should Really Considering Explaining Acronyms Before Posting, obviously.

A remote command from some random phone to reboot does sound like the a wonderful vector for malware, though

Designing any kind of space vehicle is always a trade off.

The vehicle needs to be light enough to be launched from earth to mars, but durable enough to fulfill its mission goals.

I’m sure if nasa had access to a vehicle that could send an M1 Abram’s sized, solid steel rover to mars, they totally would, but that would probably cost more than a moon mission, and the whole point of rovers is that they’re fairly cheap for the amount of research you can get out of them.

They’re testing their new program where the outsource the beatings for liability reasons.

Ah yes, because police love when people start reaching for objects under car seats

They think not masturbating will give them anything from higher testosterone, better focus, or to a higher IQ.

They think masturbation makes you weaker in every way.

This is of course patently false, and all basically rises from an old athlete myth that sex during training will reduce your progress. Which these dorks then took to an extreme by saying any ejaculation will reduce progress in physical and mental training. Because we all know that the key to success is stored in the balls.

It’s just a ball of plane batter with coke mixed in.

Look up a recipe for fritters made with flour, replace some liquid with coke syrup. Easy.

I remember doing the bear grills one, and one of the choices was to jump over a ravine, or walk over it using a fallen tree as a bridge.

Being the hiker I am, the obvious choice of walk around it being missing kind of annoyed me, but I chose the tree option.

Bear died.

So I got to go back and pick the jump over option, which was apparently the right one.

Who the fuck does running jumps over a 15 foot deep ravine.

I never bothered with the choose your own adventure things again. When the correct choice is just not available and the next logical choice just means an instant loss, you don’t have a very fun game

If you’re a government, you can pretty much put anything in a rocket fairing and call it a reconnaissance satellite.

The only warning that actually has to be given is that a rocket is being launched, so you don’t accidentally trigger WW3 by setting off launch detection satellites without warning. After it’s in space, no one can really tell what was in the fairing. Could be a spy satellite, could be navigation. Could just be a box with a bunch of little rockets in it, designed to slam into whatever you want at ridiculous speed.

But it’s way more likely that this was just Boeing having a tiny leak in a propellant tank, or a bad thruster and as soon as the concentration of propellant and oxidizer got high enough, it triggered a detonation. They certainly have a history of not leak testing their shit: airplanes falling apart, space capsules with leaky thrusters, and now a blown up satellite point more towards incompetence than malice.

One of those fancy plasma lighters, sure. But butane lighters have been around for decades

Peppers take a good idea, having extra supplies and tools for an emergency, and take it to 11.

I’m not a prepper, but I did read my local government’s disaster preparedness list and have everything on it that applies to my family. I keep 3 days or so of extra, shelf stable food in the house; bought a home water cooler and keep an extra jug of water that I rotate when we use the one in the machine so that we have a few days of clean water at all times, which is way more practical and safe than a camping water jug that will sit and stagnate in the basement; I have a battery “generator” that I keep topped up with a solar panel because we have a sewage ejector pump and a sump pump to stop the basement from flooding in bad weather; and I have good first aid kits for the house and cars.

The only thing not on my local government list are the emergency car kits, which is really just a basic vehicle toolkit, jumpstart kit, flares, sweater and space blanket, all in a cheap bag that lives on top of the spare tire.

I don’t live in the most disaster prone area, but we do get tornados and nasty thunderstorms that knock out power for a day or 3. We don’t exactly have the lights on when that happens, but we do have food, water, a non flooded basement, and even some heat in the winter, and both cars have something to keep you warm while you either fix the car or wait for the tow truck.

I kind of understand peppers, because planning all of this out after we lost power a few years ago for 4 days in fall was interesting, and there was just so much shit the internet was saying I needed: weeks or months of dried beans and rice, a generator for the whole house, enough guns and ammo to ward off a small army, etc. my local government list was hard to find compared to all of the forums and YouTube videos, but I’m glad I found it, it’s sensible and if spread out over months, very affordable. I highly, highly recommend you poke around your local government website for their natural disaster page, they’ll have resources of who to contact if you need help, and what you should have on hand. If it’s not on your city’s page, try your county or state government. One of them should have a page about disasters and how to prepare for them.

That’s still a fuck ton, but expected for a chronic addiction that’s, well, getting to the end of things

Hundreds?

No one is taking hundreds of OxyContins. Tolerance builds, but you can’t become immune to the respiratory suppression effects of narcotics.

Are you sure you’re not misremembering that he Purchased hundreds of pills at a time in shady drug deals? Just because you buy a sack of drugs doesn’t mean you’re going to take them ask that day and doesn’t mean they’re all for you.
