Snowden verifiably paid a higher price while serving the interests of the people. Sacrificed far more than Trump ever has or will. He was a fairly connected govt contractor living in Hawaii, living a good life before he had to flee.

Huge agree about pushing their merch! They’re shameless. I used to watch every day for years but stopped a long time ago; when every episode became a food episode. Their podcast (Ear Biscuits) is a bit better, it’s more them talking about things long form, just being 40+ year old fairly normal (if not very successful) guys. They’ve talked about quitting GMM, I think once their various kids are done with school they’ll pack it up (the main show at least). They both have other passions but it’s really difficult to stop when you’ve built a successful, working media company with your childhood best friend, even if they’re both ready to retire.

They actually bought Smosh and brought Ian and Anthony back, and then sold Smosh back to them a few years later. That was a really cool move to me and and got them a HUGE pass in my book, they’re stand-up guys.

Full disclosure: despite not watching much of their video content anymore I still went and saw them on their most recent tour (about a month ago, it was a gift) and had a great time. They did some of their games but modified them to be specific to my state, did a food ranking with some local-foods, and of course had a couple musical numbers.

I actually used to open them up and snip the wires, you don’t get to hear it POST but that never really became an issue.

Yeah I think we both agree that nuclear is worth pursuing, it’s not 100% safe but nothing is; even windmills catch fire or spin apart. It’s far safer than fossil fuels.

lol, does this look poisoned to you?

Does this look poisoned to you?

Yeah it looks bombed-out as fuck to anything more complicated than plant-life. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be pursuing nuclear energy, just that this argument feels very poorly constructed and intentionally misleading.

So you logged into all their social media and changed their passwords and recovery emails right? I don’t just want access now, I want it in perpetuity.

Conversely, my partner and I don’t have kids so a small kitchen is really the only “bonus” an AirBNB can offer. We’re usually able to find hotel rooms with a small fridge and just stock-up on easy to store, fresh food to offset the cost of dining out. Given that they’re roughly the same price now we’ve been opting for more and more hotel rooms just for the consistency. At least in a hotel if there’s an issue they’ll quickly swap/upgrade the room just to avoid hassle.

“Investment properties” shouldn’t even be a thing.

I checked because I knew it was fake.

I’m dying right now.

Just because you don’t think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn’t mean they are specifically designed to just be a lie and nothing else.

Just because you think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn’t mean they should. Per the wiki “Content that is of ‘aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality.’ Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort” Or “A deliberate provocation designed for maximum impact with minimum effort.”

I don’t actually see humor or interesting in there at all, in fact it being humorous or interesting might make it not a shitpost.

Enjoy your “shitposts”

I’m enjoying this a lot.

and please don’t reply

I’m dying right now.

It’s satire, it mocks the idiocy of plugging AI into every single conceivable product or the current AI-will-solve-every-problem techbro overhype that’s constantly being talked about every day now.

Just cause you thought it was real and googled it doesn’t make it less of a shitpost my dude, sorry.

This is a textbook shitpost and the people getting mad about it is more evidence that it’s a shitpost.

Kind of a weird passive-aggressive statement js, they didn’t imply their grandma lived to be any particular age. In fact from the statement we can’t tell at all, “the rest of her life” could’ve been 6 months (she fell asleep with a cigarette in her mouth and the set the bed on fire).

I doubt it, shit was different in 1980, doctors smoked in their offices until the 90s.

Never forget just how evil tobacco companies are that they knew how addictive and damaging it was but suppressed it up for decades.

I agree that was the like the moment the coup succeeded but they’d been planning it since FDR.

They hated the New Deal and everything it represented, they want a return to the gilded age when they were the aristocracy and everyone else was a lesser.

It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all)”

They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.

I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.

Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

Your question was already answered in the other thread. I recommend you read it and maybe Google a few things.

Friend I’ve worn 50 different brands at a dozen different price points, until you’re a podiatrist you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Bro I have bad feet after years of wearing shitty chucks and vans. $100 is like the entry level for good “adult” shoes. Even then you’re probably walking around in some neon Asics or something.

edit: orthotics are your friend but they’re not cheap either

There’s nobody that I don’t not like

How about Tab and Mountain Dew?
