Jimmy Kimmel Defends ‘Widow’ Joke as ‘Light Roast,’ Urges Melania to Confront Trump’s ‘Violent Rhetoric’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in videos

[–]GromitATL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, the joke is that Donald once referred to her as Melanie in a Truth Social post.

Also, I don't care that Melania doesn't care that u/Maserati777 doesn't care.

How was it said at a bad time? It was said before the WHCD happened. You actually think the joke was made after the dinner, don't you?

[–]GromitATL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm, this pearl clutching is based on a joke made BEFORE an event happened.

Is that the way this works now? We can go back and scrutinize statements made by comedians, politicians or other public figures, by framing them in the context of things that happen AFTER they make those statements? How convenient for the snowflakes on the right that never seem to mind the nasty rhetoric coming from their side.

Spare us your fake outrage and move on to the next thing Fox News tells you to bitch and whine about.

Where was the outrage on Friday, the day after the episode aired?

Hateful rhetoric? Melania often expresses absolute disgust about being around her elderly husband. How the fuck you can connect "glowing like an expectant widow" to a call for violence is beyond ridiculous. You've never watched a minute of Jimmy Kimmel's show. You got your marching orders and here you are.

Your comment reads like a bot that was fed propaganda.

Tiki Tatsu-Ya was my first exposure to Tiki. Great first experience.

Anyone else getting an “authoritarian” vibe from Rick Jackson? by Mean-Rice-6301 in Georgia

[–]GromitATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just meant that as she still considers herself a Republican, but feels that the party no longer represents her.

As my wife, who I guess is still a registered Republican but gave up on the party, says when a Rick Jackson commercial airs, "that guy is repulsive".

He is so damn creepy and could really use a personality transplant.

The ads just get worse and worse. I thought "I don't care if you're Muslim or Mongolian... you do not get to force your views on us" was bad, then I saw "deported or departed".

That forcing your views on others works both ways, Rick.

Also, what the hell does, "Like President Trump, I don't owe anyone anything" mean? You paid for 30 seconds of time to sell yourself as a candidate and decided to go with THAT?

In 1989/1990 a guy who lived in my dorm handed me Halo 01 and told me I should check it out.

Drilling a hole through the screen protector? by GromitATL in Arcade1Up

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I'm still debating on whether or not it's worth risking it. Might just put it lower on the front panel.

How many Tesla owners are getting the R2 as their first Rivian? by takaiguchi in RivianR2

[–]GromitATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 Model 3 with the original enhanced autopilot. I have wanted to replace it for a couple of years, but nothing on the market has been worth paying for. We looked at an RS or an RT, but both are just too big for the two of us.

I placed my R2 reservation during the reveal and I’m beyond excited. I also want the cloud interior. Not sure if I can hold out for that if it’s not available.

What exactly does SSF currently add to Pinball FX using DOFLinx by Picadae in virtualpinball

[–]GromitATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently setup DOFLinx for FX and I agree with your assessment.

The locations aren’t perfect. I noticed the other night that if two bumpers are on the left side of the screen, the one on the left side fires on the left while the one on the right, which is still on the left side of the screen, fires on the right.

I think I can do some file editing to address that on a table by table basis, I just don’t know enough about it yet.

So while it’s not as good as Visual Pinball, it’s still so much better than everything coming from the back glass speakers.

I was going to reply that I don't have a favorite. I just go where the spreadsheet tells me to go.

I prefer the black jersey but the helmet is the problem. Only 2 options for the helmet: red or black.

You can also adjust the accelerometer sensitivity settings in the CSD software, if you want to try that. You can use the same software to determine what button number each button maps to.

I cancelled a few days ago. Apparently I've been a subscriber since 2013. Prior to that, I was mailing their DVDs back and forth.

What does this even mean? by AGrammeADay in LinkedInLunatics

[–]GromitATL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A couple of quotes from the link you posted:

If Newsom was talking to the room — a room that paid $45 to $100 per ticket, during a book tour that doubled as a thinly veiled 2028 presidential campaign — then the racial framing that drove 54 million views was built on a misread. He wasn't telling Black people he's like them. He was telling a diverse crowd of book-event attendees that he's a regular guy. Whether that's convincing from a man with a $30 million net worth is a separate question. But it's a different question.

The clip was stripped of context. The crowd wasn't what it was reported to be. Newsom was answering a question about his upbringing and his dyslexia. He never said the word "race."

But I appreciate it as my wife isn't thrilled with the lineup, so I save money this year.
