I’m assuming levels of idiocy. Sure, he’s a cruel idiot but this is another level of stupidly pointless. He isn’t someone to insidiously undermine water security. He’d just try to deport the springwater.

I honestly cannot believe this is real. It seems legit but…

It’s so fucking frivolous.

Why the FUCK would you bring your bank card to fight as invaders?? You think you’re gonna do a quick withdrawal and buy something at a convenience store?

You can’t do that.

You’re an government official, not someone tanking a Tuesday-noon stand-up gig. If you want to be “funny” and intimate violence toward political opponents “as a joke”, quit and pursue that comedy career you’re tripping over yourself to practice.

We can’t keep letting public figures say insane shit and walking it back “as a joke”. You shouldn’t be able walk anything back. If you want to recant, it’s an official motion you have to make and you’re fined regardless, if it was a threat/incitement to violence or slander/libel.

They should be afraid of the words they use because those words have a greater effect than the average person.

They’re mad because he’s ruining their income, we’re mad because he’s ruining the country; we are not the same.

Fuck them.

I can already smell the omelets. All it took was war crimes.

Shpheal is a Pokémon.

Not to detract from your point but did you substitute “paladin” for “champion”?

It also has an apostrophe at the end like it’s slang for “palading”. And I don’t understand either move.

This one’s a one of my favorites.

Hey, you’re right! Why aren’t the mods executing OP!?

Well, I make home-cooked meals, at least.

After about 2 years of practice, I can confidently say "I wish I didn’t have to practice this. "

Eh, it’s consistent because it’s not entirely right.

“Slop” was a term for pointless, shitty, “earn a quick buck”-motivated commodities way before AI kicked open the door. A synonym with “schlock.”

You speak about people reflexively picking their teams. But what about people that reflexively put everyone they meet on teams?

I hold no allegiance to Team Testosterone but, if everyone who sees me says, “oh, yeah, you’re Team Testosterone. And also I know everything I need to know about you now.” It gets a bit grating.

It is safer for vulnerable people to make those assumptions and I won’t begrudge them their safety. But I don’t have to like how it invalidates the lifetime of interactions I’ve had and I won’t feel compelled to laugh when a offhand joke necessarily implicates me because of the team I’ve been assigned to.

Probably wouldn’t, but some might be a bit miffed if someone said “shame men love crashing planes”. Even though it’s true most commercial pilots are men, so most plane crashes are done by men.

If you felt I was deeply convinced about that, then your reading comprehension needs finetuning.

But enough. I’m calling an end to this sour exchange. I would have been better served tickling my own toes or huffing farts than any of this unnecessary back-and-forth.

I’ve found you too abrasive to wish a “good one”, so “have a time, person.”

Yes. It was.

Which is why I’m questioning why I spent the time explaining something so simple to someone so obsessed with being correct about the side an old lady drove her car.

It’s a joke, mate.

The person driving does not understand rotation. If you also don’t understand rotation, then in the video she is in[on] the left side of the car (when facing the camera). And then, after driving around the pump, she exits and is on the right side of the car when facing the camera.

There. The joke is dead.

She does if you, also, don’t understand rotation. She’s in the left (of the car) and then on the right.

I wonder which of them would be most offended by this? Who has the weaker mental?
