Having to win a fight against yourself every day to get out of bed, put some clothes on, and go to work.

… What?

I’m sorry - are you asking me when I last met Donald Trump because you think that “real life” means only the people I personally come into contact with, and not, you know, things that really happen in the world?

I really hope you’re not lumping Trump in with that whole “most people being reasonably honest and kind” bit. Because, oof.

Well damn. That is really unfortunate.

Not that he has cancer, mind. That’s great. Him getting treated for it is unfortunate.

No, they do exist. It’s just that everything is fish.

I read an article several years ago that was arguing that blackberry plants should be classed as carnivores. The idea sounds absolutely absurd, but the more you squint at it, the more sense it makes. Blackberry bushes grow incredibly dense thickets of brambles, and those brambles snag and don’t let go easily. Shepherds in areas with blackberry bushes often have to rescue sheep that eat the blackberries and get stuck in the brambles. If they don’t get rescued, they’ll eventually die and decompose, thus adding a bunch of nitrogen and other useful chemicals to the soil which cause the plant to become larger and healthier.

So while they don’t actively kill creatures like the venus fly trap or pitcher plants, they do grow in a way that can trap and kill animals, and they benefit hugely from the nutrients those animals provide.

Yeah… the president of the United States of America posted this picture on his social media platform earlier today:

This AI slop is just an improvement on the AI slop he posted earlier.

I adore the whimsy of this.

Sad to see the old Zombo.com go, but this new jingle is legitimately a fucking banger.

You’ll see a lot of brutal shit like servitors (lobotomized humans turned into mechanical servants). The origin for that is that AI was once very much in use, but the computers rose up and threatened humanity’s survival, so they made it very illegal. They now use “AI”, or “Abominable Intelligence”: living humans who have been turned into computers.

Another thing that’s interesting is that humanity’s been in the dark ages for so long that nobody has any idea how their shit works anymore. So they have people, called “tech priests” who dedicate their lives to learning voodoo bullshit to keep the machines running. Essentially, they believe that the machines are imbued with souls and they have to perform certain rituals to keep the machine spirits happy. All the giant military hardware they have is thousands of years old because nobody has any fucking clue how to manufacture it anymore. Same thing for most of their computer systems.

Love this pic of him cowering on Jan 6th, 2021, though.

As others in this thread have said, they’re attacking US military bases. Problem is two-fold: missiles aren’t always 100% accurate due to malfunctions, poor design, or anti-guidance EW systems, also the bases are surrounded by ballistic missile defenses, which basically shoot missiles at incoming missiles. This means that there is a strong likelihood that nearby civilian areas will be hit.

My ego. :(

It’s not the only thing about me that’s too big to handle! Heeeeyo

RIP, Trevor. :(

If I wrote out the actual correct answer here, the FBI would open a new file on me.

Wouldn’t induce as much apoplexy in the diaper wearing fuck. But would still be funny.

Man, you’re like a pizza cutter. All edge and no point.

Given that the Nobel Prize is basically the moral equivalent of a cracker jack prize at this point, and given that it’s guaranteed to make the Toddler in Chief choke on a McDonald’s cheeseburger, they should give it to Obama. I mean, what the fuck - after giving Kissinger one, it’s not like the committee assigning them can be said to stand for anything approaching morality. Might as well do it for the memes.

She’s not doing it in the interest of Venezuela. She’s doing it so that he’ll make her the puppet leader of Venezuela. She’s not Gandhi; she’s Vidkun Quisling.
