      Fun fact: $42069 was the all-time-high price of Bitcoin for years after a major bubble. Bros literally paid for the meme and didn’t even get to keep an NFT.

      yo, I used to think that guy was just a caricature of a zany person that’s vulnerable to conspiracy theories and publicly charismatic to that population, but noooo ho ho hooo! I saw a documentary on him and Sandy Hook victim-families. the guy is deranged. something is seriously wrong with the dude, and it’s not psychosis. i remember seeing him testify in court and thinking that i wouldn’t have believed it if i hadn’t seen actual footage. it’s as if there was no soul behind those eyes. he’s a soulless machine…omg, i get that term now!! lol soulless …scary 😬

        Alex jones and right wing fanatics like him always give me hiccups. I don’t know why, it’s probably some innate response from a sphincter. You get em close and they start going off.

        Just so I understand: you thought that Alex jones was fake prior to the documentary?

        But yeah, I think your analysis is spot on.

          I thought he was either (A) truly paranoid and susceptible to right-wing conspiracy theories or (B) a radio host taking advantage of A-people for fame, power, and money. I still think it’s B but more extreme. He is much more nefarious and selfish than I had imagined. He enjoys tearing people down. He would rather every single Sandy Hook parent kill themselves as punishment for defending themselves than admit one iota of his grift.

    Don’t pick on the poor Cybertruck. It was once raw iron ore and rubber and sand. They all had such high hopes and great potential. They could have been playground equipment for happy children, boots to keep feet dry, and drinkwear in which to share libations. It’s not their fault an asshole forced them into such an abominable state.

        Chemlight batteries, too.

        Left handed wrenches.

        It’s a weird aisle.

          I used to work in auto parts at car dealers. My favorite thing was when a parts driver got to try their hand at working the shop side counter, and the mechanics would haze the shit out of them.

            This is mostly unrelated to what your saying but the rx-7 valve cover gasket made me laugh. It also reminded me, at my first job I got a ride home one time with one of women I worked with and she had a Dodge Stealth, which was pretty bitchin’ at the time, so I’m gushing about how this Stealth is way cooler than anything any of our coworkers drivers and she starts telling a story about her first car an FB RX-7 from like 82 I think. I should have married that girl…

            I’m sure that punchline is funny to those who know cars. But I know about as much about car mechanics as I about linux.

            That is to say I probably would have fallen for the blinker fluid trick, if I hadn’t seen it on youtube.
