E B Farnum’s monologue in Deadwood. It was completely unexpected from both the actor and the character. It was a genuinely amazing piece of acting.

This joke is older than the internet but it still makes me laugh.

Double the trauma, double the… fun?

Woke up with this song stuck in my head last week. It was awful. I hate this song.

I would vote to create a new community. I haven’t posted anything because I won’t be buying civ7 until they remove denuvo from the game. Once that happens, I’ll happily contribute.

No link, just an image.

You kids with your fancy “tapes!” In my day we had to watch whatever the hell was on the three or four channels we could pick up with the rabbit ears, and we were damn glad to have it!

Once a year they’d show a Bond movie or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or maybe even that Willie Wonka movie. Such an event!

VCRs didn’t exist until I was a young adult. Doggone spoiled kids!

Speaking as someone who worked in drug rehab for a couple of soul-crushing years, forced rehab has a very, very low “success” rate (defined as staying clean for one year). Even for voluntary enrollees, there was only a 24% success rate, but the involuntary DOC diversions were well under 10%.

tiz-cycling should work just fine in Canada

Probably safer and might be easier.

Honestly, i was just referencing Battlestar Galactica.

All this has happened before and it will happen again

VVVVDC!

Im up for it, if you’re ok with playing bg3 with an old (liberal) dude.

One of them is dead, so his security is perfect. I’m hoping the other one ups his security game real soon now (due to natural causes, obviously).

Most or all of the GMO crops will both pollinate and germinate. The requirement to buy new seed is legally enforced, rather than a biological necessity.

There have been cases already where pollen and/or seeds have blown into neighboring fields and hybridized with non-GMO crops. At least one grower has been sued by Monsanto for harvesting and selling Roundup-ready soybeans that were hybridized that way.

That’s true, as far as it goes, but the amount of phenylalanine created is incredibly minute and is matched by other, “natural” foods. In the vast majority of people, the body quickly metabolizes excess phenylalanine. The only genuinely well-documented danger is for people with phenylketonuria, because they have a genetic variation that breaks that ability to metabolize.

Last I checked, which was admittedly years ago, the studies that showed direct harms were flawed, not statistically significant, or have not been repeatable. The early studies that led to its ban in the EU used absolutely massive doses of aspartame, well beyond what you could possibly ingest in a day.

I’m not saying it’s safe for sure but it’s safer than obesity or massive doses of sugar on a regular basis.

In dietary terms, literally nothing is wrong with it. There are economic concerns because the business model is to patent (copyright?) the GMO stuff and force growers to buy seed every year, instead of saving seed from each harvest. There’s also some concern that really successful GMO crops, such as Roundup-ready corn, will dominate planting and become a monocrop which could lead to massive crop loss if a blight or other disease evolves to target that particular strain.

The other things in the picture vary between probably-but-maybe-not-harmless (aspartame), definitely harmless (MSG), to actually helpful (fluoride and Prozac).

Bottom line: the meme, when interpreted correctly, implies that pop songs are generally good but somewhat artificially manipulated.

Does CustardFist make the smartest dumb comics on the web, or the dumbest smart comics?

Either way… f’kin lol
