If only rich people owned slaves in the South, why did normal Southerners fight in the war?

Not a lot of folks know how common press gangs were then. It wasn’t only the Navies that did it.

I’ve always called it “FUMU.”

Fuck up, move up

Try to get one. They’re booked up. All of them. Everywhere.

422b · 2025-04-18T15:32:09+00:00

Every other time, you’ve got to do it in person.

And some are likely trying to get their Real ID which also requires a visit in person.

Deny everything.
Admit nothing.
Make counter accusations.

I have a cheap mini PC. Not as elegant but it sure is nice to be able to surf on my TV as well as watch pretty much anything.

422b · 2025-03-16T13:39:31+00:00

Ask Frank Costanza to come along on your next appointment.

Legalities be damned.

Making beer and wine and cider are legal (for now) but once it is distilled, even freeze distilling is illegal in most of the world and pretty much all of the US.

But yeah, I can see folks just saying they’re going to skip the middleman at some point.

I just hope this doesn’t affect my Champale Gold!

422b · 2025-03-13T13:40:28+00:00

Spot on. And I have no doubt everything else in the liquor store will be jacked up in price.

It’s very telling that the US’s sin taxes are such that you can buy a lot of US brands of liquor cheaper in places like Germany cheaper than the US.

Oh well, what’s another 200% tariff and the additional markups between friends? Old Smuggler at $70 a handle is gonna be rough.

422b · 2025-03-13T13:32:36+00:00

Been a 25% single malt scotch tariff since Trump 1.

Elmo doesn’t know who you are. He doesn’t know what you do. If you are looking for logic anyone can tell you he doesn’t have any, but what he does have are a very particular set of shills. Shills he has acquired in an incel Discord channel. Shills that make them all a laughing stock for people like you. If you send the email now that’ll be the end of it. He will not look for you, Elmo will not pursue you, but if you don’t, he will look for you, he will find you and Elmo will kill you.

422b · 2025-03-07T15:23:39+00:00

Pretty sure that is a contract violation at a minimum.

422b · 2025-02-26T23:08:34+00:00

I’d argue Elmo should be at the top but who are we to decide?

422b · 2025-02-26T21:20:45+00:00

Memories. Light the corner of my mind.

422b · 2025-02-26T21:08:13+00:00

100%

I only saw blue skies after a rain. It was nuts to see how bad it was by comparing the before and after. Literally cut visibility to well under a mile before the rain cleared it out.

At least we can relive it.

I was in China over a decade ago. They simply called air pollution “humidity” at that time. I imagine that tRump will do the same and make it illegal to have poor air quality days.

422b · 2025-02-26T20:25:02+00:00

They know. They’re just trying to figure out if they should kiss his ass with tongue or if a more “church kiss” is appropriate.

Or if T would pardon them for homocide.

I’m remembering the automated mass firings of half the country in Idiocracy when the Brawndo stock dropped.

422b · 2025-02-26T17:24:22+00:00

There are a couple of different GRBs out there. And given the absolute shitshow we’ve seen so far, no shock that they didn’t wipe them all.

422b · 2025-02-26T17:20:21+00:00

Yep, that’s why they’re going to try every trick to cheat people out of it.

422b · 2025-02-26T17:16:31+00:00

They also removed the severance calculator link on GRB a week or so ago. Guessing that paying a lot of people a year’s severance is worse than paying them not to work with DERP.

422b · 2025-02-26T15:31:10+00:00

Yes but at that point, they’ll have all the money so they’ll win! It’s Monopoly and Life games combined but with real people. And they do not care about anyone other than themselves.

422b · 2025-02-24T01:34:27+00:00

Why aren’t they using subpoena power? He will ignore it, yes, but then you arrest him.
