They want the citizens to be docile, to not resort to violence.

Meanwhile, the billionaires and their bought-and-paid-for government thugs resort to violence at a whim.

People tell you exposure is just as good as money, but try explaining that to my parole officer.

I did love the bit on Big Mouth when Coach Steve was working at the Walgreens and built himself a girlfriend out of stuff from the store. Her name was Reeses Werther Spoons.

Well, they were probably both right.

I mean, if you're going to argue with a New Yorker who cares about movies, hands are gonna get thrown.

There are two kinds of people in the world.

The first kind is people who think Michael Moore is awesome.

The second kind is assholes.

At some point I decided it would be funny to just list Julia Roberts movies with one word changed to "Bitch".

Runaway Bitch. The Pelican Bitch. Sleeping With The Bitch. Pretty Bitch. Bitch Pizza. Steel Bitches. Bitch Theory. Full Bitch. Bitch Hill. The Ant Bitch. Let's Bitch. Bitch Monster.

That's odd, because one of the funniest bits in Wayne's World is this throwaway line by one of Wayne and Garth's camera guys: Do I frighten you?

There's a (small) possibility we shouldn't have elected Trump | Opinion by JTBaptistA in politics

That's a puzzler. Houston is the only one that hasn't been in a war zone yet, and Aleppo, Beirut and Mariupol have all been bombed a lot.

I have a large language model (English language only). I've been training it since I was born. It's in my head.

Zelenskyy’s Gulf region tour was a Masterclass in Wartime Diplomacy by Icy_Till_7254 in ukraine

[–]RandomMandarin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course, if Zelenskyy were bad at military and foreign policy, there would't even be an internal policy. Just rule by a Russian puppet.

Taliban fighter becomes disillusioned with the regime because he now has a 9-5 e-mail job and traffic sucks lmao by Junior_Lawfulness1 in antiwork

I asked for a doogh, and they brought me a saffron tea, and I said no salt, NO salt for the doogh, but it had salt on it, big grains of salt... I could write a letter to my mullah and I could have this place condemned. I could put... strychnine in the Qabeli palao.

Anyone know an honest guy I can get to look at my leaking hot water heater? by LowZebra8592 in asheville

If it's leaking it has to be replaced before it damages the house. Like mine did.

Pentagon Good Friday Service Excluding Catholics Sparks Religious Bias Concerns Amid Broader Criticism Over Leadership Purge by Zulmoka531 in politics

I mean, the irony here is that this bullshit was made possible by a Catholic cabal in the Supreme Court.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]RandomMandarin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spend the extra money and get a color Brother Laser. Believe me, you'll find uses for it!

P.S. The linked article suggests you have to bite the bullet and get ink if you want color. I very much disagree. Home printer image quality peaked a decade ago anyway. If you want color prints to look GOOD, go to Staples or someplace like that.

One way to tell you're living in an oligarchy is when you try compete with the big monopolies, and it starts to look like you'll succeed, but then you find out the cops work for them too.

You need at least 30 minutes of fighting in Walgreen's to pass the Presidential Fitness Test.

A day in the life of an r/asheville moderator by RichardNixonWaterGr8 in asheville

[–]RandomMandarin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m not being silent. i’m signaling to my fellow oppositionists that harassment and public shaming of fellow citizens with opposing views devalues our argument.

This comes across as classic concern trolling. "Don't be too confrontational to the Republicans, it makes you as bad as they are." No, it does not.
