Mega “thread”? Just call it a rope ffs

You’re (slowly) leaking oil and it’s burning off. Keep an eye on your oil levels at the bare minimum.

I won’t bother linking the article, but it was darkly amusing to see, literally the morning after Harris’s loss, the NYTimes put out an article about how, actually, inflation was a pretty big problem after all, and maybe the administration could’ve done more to assuage people’s frustration about price increases.

OOOOOPS

When you beat the check engine light allegations

The bitching hour. It’s like the witching hour, but it’s whatever hour you have to get up to go to work.

(Technically the stick buses are trains but the train tracks are just blades of grass that they lay down and they keep blowing away, so everyone forgets and calls them buses.)

In Bugtown everyone’s houses are made out of leaves and the buses are just a long stick with acorn-top wheels that everyone climbs up on and one guy holds onto the back and pushes it around. They can’t steer very well so they all go in straight lines and if you need to make a turn you have to hop off and jump on another stick going in a different direction.

Thanks, I hate it

I got so excited

Goddamn that is well done. I can read it in their voices perfectly; I even hear the dice roll in my head.

Death to plastic; embrace glassware tradition.

I second this

People think lizard people are bad because they’re humans mixed with lizard characteristics, but actually they’re bad because they’re lizards mixed with human characteristics 🤢

Watching a guy sweat profusely over setting up a drum kit that I already put together, removing everything and then realizing that there’s no extra room and he has to put every piece back where I already had it. No schadenfreude, just glad I’m not the one sweating this morning.

This poor guy is suffering lol. Use your boom arms, people!

How is this functionally any different than laying landmines. Although come to think of it, plenty of landmines can actually be disarmed.

“Wooaaaooaohhhw such a genius intelligent deadly clever smart move by the isrealis, wow they are so cool and dangerous and smart, Hezbollah must be completely destroyed now because of the psychological factor of this very intelligent attack, wowww”

Maybe all of the more meaningful forms of satisfaction and joy have been locked behind paywalls or eliminated entirely for the sake of economic efficiency

Sorry, I’ll tell my agents to reboot that part of the simulation

My train is going so fucking slow I just want to get home and get some chores done and play like 30 minutes of video games before I have to go to sleep.

Of course this stupid goddamn city refuses to properly manage or fund the MTA, instead dumping money down the drain to put useless fucking pigs in every station who just look at their phones all day and occasionally light up an entire fucking subway car over a $3 fare and then plant evidence and immediately get caught lying.

So cool. So neat and awesome and cool.

Lol, just heard Chapo covered the same story. For what it’s worth, I have ridden countless times and will ride again countless more with people like the alleged perp, and I would choose them every time over locked and loaded trigger happy psychos who could legally blow me away if I reach for my phone too fast. All in the name of protecting the MTA’s budget by preventing fare evasion. Killing people to protect the budget. They’re not getting those three fucking dollars by the way.

Trigger warning: shit heads

r slash neoliberal asks: How should a liberal society deal with stochastic terrorism?

Answer: it can’t!

Lol, most of the replies are just like “oh, well, there’s really nothing we could do, I guess it just has to happen 🤷‍♂️”

So far I don’t think anyone has suggested that maybe economic burdens are causing the alienation and anxiety that lead people to accepting fascist ideas and eventually committing violence. Cuz, y’know, that would be admitting that the free market is responsible for killing people.
