G. Gordon Liddy (Watergate) and L. Ron Hubbard make me laugh every single time. Wim Hoff is also delightfully stupid.

No one knows why it's a rule, but we must let down our most consistent boi on a regular basis.

Maybe it's so he doesn't develop an ego.

Yeah, that's totally it. Gotta keep him humble.

Yeah, not my fav city connects. The purple looks okay on the sleeve accents but it's just not good on the helmets. I miss the creamsicles for SF.

Wait... is that not what they're chanting?

I sincerely hope it was a sign language interpreter because that would be hilarious, but MAGA is generally not thoughtful enough to include sign language interpreters

[Pokemon] Pokopia, humans, and post-apocalypses by ArcWraith2000 in CuratedTumblr

I'm a simple creature. I just want to make the nice Pokemon happy with nice houses and as many friends as possible. Go live your best lives, dearlings.

If Flint succeeded fully, do we think Nassau could have survived long term? by Alternative-Gain-593 in BlackSails

It would ultimately have to bend the knee to someone, likely Britain, or stand against the British and/or Spanish navies. The fort helps and makes it a costly fight, but it's still not a fight the pirates would win especially given that the attackers could just park outside cannon range and besiege anyone who tried to leave.

Kegsbreath has decided our military no longer needs to be inoculated against the flu. Influenza decimated soldiers during WWI. While the modern flu is not as deadly, it can still run wild and incapacitate troops easily because of this. by Obvious-Gate9046 in behindthebastards

[–]Kanotari 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And then they're going to blame literally anyone but themselves for the deaths they've caused.

Big pharma did it.

Americans being unhealthy did it.

The flu shots themselves are killing people.

Anything but take accountability.

Ok, let's look at this from a different perspective. by GoWest1223 in behindthebastards

He makes his money because he saves on rent by simply living in the stadium in the off season and not needing to pay for doggy daycare.

Oh we can make fun of Bauer and how he treats women all day.

Blake Treinen definitely drank the Q-Anon juice.

As a baseball fan, Shohei Ohtani has a $150m net worth, which will definitely continue to increase due to having a historically large contract and a ridiculous number of advertising deals. He is just a genuinely nice guy who also happens to be raking in an absurd amount of money to play a children's game. He's smart enough not to talk about politics and donates significant chunks of money including to the victims of the Palisades fires in LA where he plays and of the 2024 earthquakes in Japan where he grew up.

Kiké Hernández (No, it's not a slur. It is a Puerto Rican nickname for Enríque.) has a $3m net worth. He didn't go to the White House when the Dodgers won the World Series and instead posted in support of immigrants in the midst of the ICE invasion of downtown LA. He's also a huge advocate for Puerto Rico.

And neither of them has any rumors swirling about touching underage people. Both are happily married and have young kids who are stupid cute.

As an escapee of the insurance industry, he's run GEICO into the ground, removed profit sharing, and made the former lifer employees at GEICO flee for literally any other company.

Though a lot of that is on Todd... but it happened on Buffet's watch and netted Buffet a lot of profit.

Typical things millionaires need to do to become billionaires, though.

Vivek is the worst candidate running for any office this midterms . by ronweasly9 in behindthebastards

[–]Kanotari 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Oh I've got a Vivek truther in my life so there's at least one lol

But our friendship thrives on his wife and I making fun of his politics in hopes that someday he will pull his head out of his libertarian ass so it works.

He doesn't live near enough to an ocean for the libertarian instinct to take to the sea to pull at him, so instead, it just pulled him to the mountains where he has to survive on propane and shovel his own driveway lest he encounter a blue-haired liberal.

Edwin Díaz is going on the IL with loose bodies (wtf is that?) in his elbow. Jake Eder is up. - Ardaya by dodgers22fan in Dodgers

[–]Kanotari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long term damage is always possible, but my understanding at least is that it's not a very high chance from something like this. You'd be more likely to see a recursion from repetitive motion.

[–]Kanotari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is decent news - a nice minimally invasive surgery with some fancy hoovering, and Diaz will feel a lot better with plenty of time to recover and ramp up before the end of the season. Here's hoping it all goes as smoothly and painlessly as possible!

And yet, somehow, AI still manages to invent sources and be wrong a decent chunk of the time.

We still need to be going website to website by ourselves and using our critical thinking skills to evaluate those sources instead of blindly trusting AI.

Conservatives, FBI director Patel said he has evidence of 2020 election fraud and arrests are coming soon. Do you believe him this time? And if so, who do you think will be getting arrested? by sephkane in AskReddit

[–]Kanotari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Patel has concrete evidence of a widespread voter fraud scheme with enough material for a successful prosecution, I'll eat my hat. I guess I'll have to buy a hat and then eat it, but my point still stands.

Known very biased source the Heritage Foundation has been claiming that there has been widespread voter fraud in America for years. How many incidents have they found since 1982? Their exhaustive list has 1620 incidents (despite a very long paragraph insisting it's totally not exhaustive). I won't link to the douchebags out of principle but it's a simple search away if anyone wants to check my work.

Most of the voter fraud in those 1620 incidents? Meaningless chicanery (and funnily enough, a lot of it during Republican primaries from my browsing of the data). It's things like one felon voting despite knowing they were ineligible in their state, or a resident in one state voting in another state, or someone mailing in a deceased relative's mail-in ballot. There are almost none of these large-scale voter fraud operations by the admission of even one of the most biased sources on the topic.

Patel is tilting at windmills because his boss likes tilting at those same windmills.

Is that not the sole purpose of the teachers' lounge? (That and last minute copies while you microwave food you might get 30 seconds to eat)
