0·2 days agoClearly. I’m also prepared to pay the handsome sum of $0. Where is my cabinet position?
Russia will have to surrender and disarm their nukes,
Interesting. During the Cold War, that was unthinkable, mostly because there’d be nobody to counterbalance a US monopoly on nuclear arms. Things have proliferated considerably since then, so perhaps a nuclear Russia isn’t as important. If anything, they’re proving themselves to be a liability.
Good grief. It’s like he asked ChatGPT “how do I hire people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect?”
Dear meme-lords: I need something with much more facepalm than the Picard one. A “super facepalm” if you will. Thank you.
0·2 days agoNo idea. Maybe they’ll keep it like the Gadsden Flag holdout libertarians? “We were here first” and all that.
Honestly, I was thinking about the people out there with tattoos. There has to be at least one.
For me, the cherry on top is how the “InfoWars” name is still completely apt, for completely different reasons.
I think there’s always going to be that group of people. Another example: folks that didn’t notice that The Colbert Report was satire.
That also sounds like the kind of prank that Cards Against Humanity would pull if they had access to as much cash. I love this so much.
0·3 days agoMaybe? We also import a shed-load of tobacco. Combined, that’s not gonna be pretty.

The syrup helps the little corns slide down better.
Also: I can’t feel my toes but I’m sure that’s unrelated.
Rabbit hole time.
Apparently, caffeine in soft drinks is synthetic. I thought they just used caffeine that is extracted from decaffeinating coffee beans - not so. Also it’s barely produced in the US (anymore), and we mostly import it from China.
Neat part is: it doesn’t look all that complicated to synthesize and requires some common-ish organic compounds and solvents to make. As a bonus, the “the raw synthetic caffeine often glows - a bluish phosphorence”. If anyone is on his Patreon, please give NileRed a nudge to give this a shot; I think it would be right up his alley.
So we can get by without coffee, but short of running your own chemistry lab, it’s going to be a bit before industry can ramp up production of the synthetic stuff. Meanwhile, caffeinated beverages across the board would be more expensive were synthetic caffeine a part of any tariff scheme.

0·26 days agoWhat a nightmare. It’s bad enough that the Russian army is treated like cannon-fodder by their own leadership. But institutionalized abuse and hard-core hazing? I’m actually kind of shocked. I guess this is about as strong an argument for the importance and efficacy of leadership modeling that you can find.
And sometimes the military guys are waiting at the graduation event, to scoop you up before you can even leave the building.
“In Russia, fraternity rushes you.”
I’ve also heard it as “no plan survives contact with the enemy.”
Not just porn, but classic art by a famous artist. Check out Hokusai’s “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife.”
Ukraine has been converting these to infantry support weapons by adding a bipod, carry handle, shoulder stock, gigantic muzzle break(to make recoil bearable), new handle and new trigger assembly.
That laundry list of upgrades makes me appreciate how hard it must be to machine a good receiver and barrel for something like this; those are practically the only parts not listed.
Welcome to the top of the sigmoid curve.
If you were wondering what 1999 felt like WRT to the internet, well, here we are. The Matrix was still fresh in everyone’s mind and a lot of online tech innovation kinda plateaued, followed by some “market adjustments.”
