The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don’t want to do that. Right now, without any god

You’re thinking of Kash Patel. This other guy pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on DOD time.

Edit: Neither should be confused with the guy who pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on SCOTUS time.

Trump really has a type.

Does this mean the next President can rename Florida to Trump-Epsteinland, and Texas to KidKillerKopsia?

It’s not very detailed in the video, but gives a good idea on how to get it done.

This looks like more of a joke making fun of people who keep political bumper stickers on their car long after they’re relevant than someone who legitimately supported Nixon and Goldwater, but also Gore and Clinton.

I searched for, downloaded, and installed the Poison My Well app, and the thing forced itself into my well!

Same in Washington.

Every human invention is about efficiency: making communication easier, killing people easier, extracting resources easier, more food, more leisure time, more comfort. We have put thousands of years of innovation into being more lazy about everything.

Meanwhile, cats sleep 20 hours per day and have humans to clean their box and fill their food dish.

Domestic house cats have already reached levels of evolution humans can only dream of.

Lots of people say that want total freedom for anybody to post anything, but it becomes clear almost immediately that it’s completely unsustainable. Spam, CSAM, and other illegal stuff has to be moderated or users leave and the admins get in legal trouble.

What most people mean by “free speech absolutism” is “I want to be able to say stupid, offensive shit without being held accountable.” Even if that’s not your intent here, that’s the prevailing interpretation, so you’re being judged on that.

Laws will vary widely from state to state, but in most (many? some?) US states, the “sales tax” is more accurately titled “sales and use tax.”

You may be asked on your year-end tax return to list anything purchased out of state that was brought into your state for use, and to pay the appropriate tax on that.

In my state, it’s on the honor system. So almost entirely unenforceable, especially for small items. Look up the laws in your area, though.

To sum up: technically, probably not; practically, probably so. This is not tax advice.

Amazon spent millions on a single Ring ad during the Super Bowl that was so poorly received it killed a multi-million dollar business deal.

To be clear, all the companies involved are the worst of the worst, so fuck them, but all they had to do was nothing and it would have turned out better (for them, worse for the rest of us).

Peanuts are neither peas, nor nuts. Discuss.

…or like literally not ready, as in “you’ll need a 6090 Ti”?

I had one where I dreamed I was in my bedroom, and there was some bright shiny…thing?..on my floor. Like a glowing dot, too bright to make out any details. So I went over and picked it up; it was maybe the size of a marble. I could start to see through the light and make out a few details, but kept putting it closer and closer to my face to try and get a better view. Soon, it was clear that it was my bedroom, and when I had the thing almost right at my eyeballs, I realized my eyes were open and I was awake.

So I guess I was slowly opening my eyes, but dreaming “around” the tunnel vision? Super strange experience.

I said this when he bought Bond and the Washington Post.

Bezos is basically Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies: billionaire media mogul who manipulates the news to his own ends.

Slight tangent, but Elon Musk is even more like Hugo Drax of Moonraker: foreign-born billionaire who owns a rocket company and is obsessed with repopulating the earth with his own offspring.
