Well that was back when Ronald McDonald and Ronald Reagan were “butt-buddies”. They hadn’t invented the word “gay” back in the 1960s.

By the 1980s, ol’ Ronnie was giving McDonnie his ecconomics to trickle out of the side of his mouth.

Unclear if you’re holding a midget hostage, or are a parent. In either case, the drugs are problematic. Although for entirely different reasons depending on the answer.

I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!

See??? See??? Take that, random collection of various people online over the coarse of 30 years telling me I’m an asshole! I knew I wasn’t an asshole! Well, unless you try to hurt my family. Then I absolutely do fly off the rails and all hell breaks loose. THEN I become an asshole.

But in most times? I’m not the one parking my grocery cart dead center in the aisleway and dead staring at mustard as if I’m unfirmiliar with the core concept of mustard, but flip out if anyone tries to pass by.

Those people exist, and I’ve suggested that everybody be allowed to carry a wet fish. Then when someone is being an asshole, you slap them in the face with an old wet fish. Now while they’re experiencing the innitisl shock and confusion over what just happened, you sweep the leg, rip off their sock and shoe, put them in an ankle lock, and tickle their feet for 30 minutes.

Bet they never pull THAT shit again! But state legislators won’t even put the fish n’ tickle bill on the ballots! Let the people vote!!!

…in the words of Ian Malcom:

“God damn do I hate always being right all the time…”

Also in the words of Ian Malcolm:

sexy growling and laughing noises

I don’t feel at all like I’m the smartest person in any given room, but lately I feel like the movie idiocracy. Where I’m just some average guy, and the rest of the world is letting AI do their thinking for them. The end result is, crops won’t grow, because the lot of you are trying to water them with gatoraide. Top scientists in the country are so blinded by why science fails them, never realizing it’s because gatoraide controls the farming industry, and helps write the laws to ensure further grasp of control. Regardless of results.

And everybody else just goes with it. What will happen in the future? Click this article to read about it! Answer: No one knows what would happen if you water plants with water.

Here is how the AI experiment plays out…

Corporations cling and force this stuff down our throats, despite it not working. They do this for 2-3 generations to normalize it. With time and tech advancements they continue to develop it.

They keep using it where people don’t push back. Which for AI, is most things. I don’t see a major pushback on google including AI in search results. I don’t see a major pushback from MOST people on AI being in every element of Windows 11. I see people here hating on microsoft, but linux users are like 4% of the market.

So they continue using the stuff people don’t rock the boat over, while not improving services. Eventually they get more and more of these AI services in every aspect of your life.

The one place they spend all their effort improving is survailance. Watching you watch yourself, and sending them the data.

Alexa could listen for “Hey Alexa” or it could listen for sneezing. Then send that information to HQ where they can now sell that data, that you sneeze 37 times per day in the spring, or 3 times a day in the winter.

Now your insurance rates go up for allergy medication before you even see your doctor.

Thats just one example. Like one dot of a painting of millions of dots. But it all starts with people who don’t have critical thinking skills. They just don’t even question why TVs in the 90s were expensive, but by 2020 they were basically free.

So they buy their cheap smart tvs, and smart fridge, and everything else. Happy as can be. Not even realizing that its all just corporations bringing us closer and closer to 1984.

And in 30 years, not having a smartphone will be illegal. Not having a trackable device with you 24/7 will be illegal. They’ll justify it by saying “think of the children!”. And people will fall for it, yet again. Just as they always do.

I have a better assistant for my home. It’s called me.

When I get home from work, I don’t rely on some app to open my door. I use my hands, and unlock the door with my keys.

When I want to know how much juice is left in the fridge, I walk my ass to the fridge and check myself.

When I want to set the house on fire to committ insurance fraud, I walk down to the gas station, fill my cannister myself, and come back home and pour it everywhere myself. No app needed!

People are SO dependant on technology these days! Jeez!

Step one, put it in my hand.

Step two, take this $3.50 in all pennies. Those are valuable. They fon’t even make those pennies anymore, and thats 350 of them! All for you! Honestly, you’re making out on this deal.

Step three, …

…sucker!!!

I mean…is democrats taking control really that much better? It’s not like some return to decency.

Think of evil as a line graph. When republicans are in control the line goes up.

When democrats are in control the line flatlines as a plateau, but it doesn’t go down. The line only rises with republicans. Then it stays in a holding pattern with democrats.

People refuse to believe me when I say it’s both sides. They’re working together. If the democrats were so upset by ICE, and Trump, and fascism, they would be staging some kind of resistance. A protest. SOMETHING!

Instead, the republicans message is basically “fuck you, I win” and the democrats message is “hold on everybody, lets hear them out.”

The democrats exist because the republicans need the illusion of choice, but don’t want any actual consequences or challenge to their plans.

So no. The pendulum doesn’t swing “back” to crazies. It never leaves that territory. It only cosplays as sane.

If I used discord, they would assume I’m 7 years old.

goes back to sitting on the living room floor, and watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while eating cereal with gummy bears added in

Jokes on you, discord! I’m 42!

2011? Retro??? No…that’s only…15 years??? That cannot be right! Am I dumb at math? Hold on let me get a calculator…

…this calculator lies, and is making me feel old!

That word “Unfortunately” is doing some pretty serious heavy lifting in that sentence.

normal people must be living in political hell in USA right now.

TIL I’m “normal”.

I’ve been telling people for years that there are assholes all around me. Everywhere I go, I see assholes. I’ve been saying this since the late 90s.

I’ve always been told, mostly by people on the internet who don’t know me, that maybe I’M the asshole.

Well there it is. Visualized survayed data that PROVES assholes are everywhere. I’m in Ohio. So 49/1/49 ratio on that list. There really ARE assholes all around me. At all times.

I vote for this guy for president.

I grew up with certain words meaning certain things. Then I get older, and suddenly, those words are gone, new words exist, old words mean new things, medical terms are now no longer medical terms and just purely an insult derived from a definition that didn’t used to define the root word. Pluto isn’t a planet. Instead of 9 planets, there are now an unknown number at least in the thousands. There’s like 4 other Earths.

Language shouldn’t change over time. It can adapt, but I should know that grass is green. Not grass is plubertatude. A word I just made up for the demonstration of absurdity. Nothing wrong with grass being green.

This is the way.

ties a string to your string, and a can at the other end

Now we’re having a three way!

The question always struck me as dumb. Because it doesn’t make any attempt to clarify what geographic region this question takes place.

I don’t care what you’re afraid of a man doing, a polar bear is ALWAYS the worse choice.

But not all bears are as aggressive as polar bears. Some bears will run away from you if you chase them. Some bears will end you if you chase them.

Of coarse you can’t determine how dangerous a man is based on region. But you can likely determine which regions have dangerous bears.

Yep! I got a nice one. It’s 10+ years old now, but I got a new bulb in the box, waiting for my current bulb (which IS dying) to finally go.

Love it. It even does 3D and came with 2 pairs of glasses.

cries

They get born with I think 8 (gotta give my memory some slack. I’m old, and it was 20+ years ago). Then 6 die, leaving you with 2. Then they fight, and mate, and 1 dies.

But the last one should stay alive, and evolve.
