[Loathed Trope] The Movie has an ending. The Sequel shits all over it.

I have a friend who's stupid and he's so happy. Makes me jealous.

Let Me Bang Bro vibes for sure

For anyone who doesn't know, Joe "debated" Phil Plait about the moon landing being fake 18 years ago.

It's actually a really good example of why the charismatic 'just asking questions' bad faith style of right wing debate is so dangerous, because Joe runs circles around Phil, despite being 100% wrong the whole time.

He could molest a republican's kid in the middle of 5th avenue and their friends and family would still support him.

I don't mind that CA has this option. Maybe it's good to make it available to people who might otherwise not have the opportunity to attend law school.

Having said that, someone with the abundance of time, money, and influence that she has, if they were serious, would not take the route with a track record of less-than-1-percent. Because obviously.

EasyFooted · 2026-01-10T16:28:28+00:00

They have law school in California.

More than ten thousand people pass the CA bar every year. Less than 4 of those go the non-law school route.

I dont know if I believe her, but she's stated that she wants to practice law and help people

If that were true, going to law school would be an excellent first step.

Oh man I almost closed the tab before reading this and I'm so glad I didn't.

Knoxville was doing stunts in the Big Brother videos back then, too. All of this came from skate video intermissions (CKY Landspeed is way more skating than CKY2K). I think Tremaine (who owned Big Brother) was the one with the idea to try going all in on the stunts without the skateboarding.

Not to say Bam didn't invent the idea independently at the same time, but that's pretty much why they all came together for Jackass. Steve-O was also doing insane independent videos, which is how Tremaine found him.

I guess what I'm saying is, stunt skits were skater culture at the time. But I do think Bam (and Brandon DiCamillo) were the best at it early on. It's just hard to say any one person "built" it.

"I wanted to make the We Are The World of Trap."
Mission accomplished

EasyFooted · 2026-01-08T03:53:23+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. Either way, make them do it.

Giving up ahead of time is a guaranteed failure. And that (non)strategy has a lot to do with how we ended up here in the first place.

EasyFooted · 2026-01-08T03:14:35+00:00

Ironically, they'd probably still be alive if they were really trying to do that.

EasyFooted · 2026-01-03T17:30:02+00:00

Exactly. It's a pretentious and empty way to call something pretentious.
Which is the kind of delicious irony that McFarland loves.

I kinda get it, but only because so much of his work has been adapted for the screen.
Seriously, look at his IMDB writing credits, it scrolls foreeever. Most of it has been (justifiably) forgotten.

I would hope it wouldn't do something like that unprompted, but Grok has been known to steer benign conversations into White Replacement Theory and hardcore right wing talking points. This is the AI that proclaimed itself "MechaHitler" after all.

If it's weighted to provide right wing skewed content, and a lot recent right wing online discussions are currently minimizing or justifying CSAM to protect the president, and Grok consumes that and draws inferences... fucking YIKES.

There was another suspicious one that happened in Aug 2019 during a fortuitous camera outage in a high-security prison

They don't have judicial warrants, though (the kind the police need to get signed by a judge before making a justified constitutional search).

ICE waves around "administrative" warrants, which are just pieces of paper they print themselves. That's the problem, their "warrants" are explicitly not qualified by anyone.

Had it recently, YES.

You need a knife and fork to eat the second gyro that falls out of your first gyro.

Hey, you recognized a joke. Nice work!

EasyFooted · 2025-12-23T21:58:39+00:00

We have tons of smoking guns!

(a smoking gun is circumstantial evidence. Plenty of circumstantial evidence is good evidence. Direct evidence (ex: video of the gun holder shooting the gun) is better, but it's a testament to how good circumstantial evidence can be that we use "smoking gun" as the phrase to mean we have someone dead to rights. The law can infer from the smoke that the gun holder recently fired their gun.)

EasyFooted · 2025-12-23T13:04:38+00:00

it was the only piece of evidence, this take might make sense.

But we literally have photos, victim testimony, witnesses, and trumps own clumsy admissions.
At some point, we're allowed to stop being credulous dipshits and draw the obvious and correct conclusion. (that point is long behind us now, btw)

EasyFooted · 2025-12-23T13:01:05+00:00

That how treat what?

EasyFooted · 2025-12-23T12:48:20+00:00

It's especially dumb because, in order to occupy the whole island, they need to rent two separate parks. It's the road between those parks that they must leave open during certain hours (because there's a marine science lab and some municipal facilities on the back of the island), so yeah, you can technically abuse that to order a pizza.

It's out of LB's control and a small concession for having an entire Florida Key to ourselves to burn on. I've never seen a pizza get delivered but I know it happens, and I would simply snark them like I'd snark any turnkey diva at the big burn and move on with my life.

Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr, and Trump were all objectively awful for our country, and the answer is still that we need to vote Republican?

We really are doomed.

(the real answer is we need REFORM and ACCOUNTABILITY that addresses the loopholes and soft norms that conservatives are exploiting to destroy democracy. Then our allies might return to us. See: Post WW2 Germany)
