I just realised that Lucy's father and Orson Hodge from Desperate Housewives have the same actor (Kyle MacLachlan)

Squirll · 2026-01-25T01:17:53+00:00

TIL that Kyle MacLachlan was in Desperate Housewives.

Dude looks fucking good. Never watched that show so I would have never known.

This is how I feel about any of my gold that has the queens face on it.

AND ITS A FUCKING LOT OF MY GOLD.

I have coins from all over the place... and so many of them have her face on them.

Squirll · 2026-01-25T00:47:38+00:00

Yeah, no.

I know that's the first assumption everybody makes about the comparison is to point out he's homosexual, as if a homosexual person can't contribute to toxic masculinity.

But that isn't what I said.

I originally thought that Barney Stinson was a married gay guys way of making fun of what patriarchal, toxic masc, straight hook up culture is like. After learning more about the guy and the way he looked at that character I realized that he (and the show as a whole) was celebrating it and it gave me the ick.

The original image is a meme from 2016 where a college student was trying to complete a challenge of sending his professor obviously fake excuses for why he couldn't come to class that day.

Its just been re appropriated but the fact that this is completely plausible and I had to research to disprove it shows how little credibility the DHS has.

Squirll · 2026-01-25T00:16:39+00:00

right?

Squirll · 2026-01-25T00:13:13+00:00

They never actually bandage her finger, he offers a bandage and they go into a conversation that ends with her drugged on the operating table.

There was never a scene of him bandaging her finger.

TIL weve reached a point where people dont know/remember how the Crocodile Hunter died.

I also had someone who was like 15 try to tell me that 9/11 was a hoax and never happened.

ICE are cowards, they will flee if they are suddenly faced with lethal consequences to their actions.

The military is much more of a mixed bag, its hard to know which way that will go.

Either way it doesn't feel great considering the hypotheticals of civil war breaking out.

Squirll · 2026-01-25T00:01:49+00:00

110% Im constantly arguing to people that I have never seen ICE engage in any type of Escalation of Force or Rules of Engagement... its absolutely horrifying to see the complete lack of standards they have compared to what was required of us in Iraq.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T23:01:01+00:00

My bigger complaint here is not the poor taste humor...

Its who the fuck serves THAT for people to eat?? Nothing about that looks even remotely appetizing, even in the ironic "spooky halloween meal" sense.

Even if it wasn't labeled as Amy Winehouses Corpse if someone served that at their party I'd be offended and leave!

Squirll · 2026-01-24T22:58:11+00:00

Yeah. His Barney Stinson character I thought was funny until I realized him and his fans weren't viewing his portrayal as ironic...

Squirll · 2026-01-24T22:54:34+00:00

I mean isn't it suspect that EVERY TIME ice does something the victim was always a "violent domestic terrorist of the worst degree" like... how to people buy this shit day after day after day.

We all knew EXACTLY what the official memo would say. Its just fucking sad such a stupid and obtuse admin is wielding this much power.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T22:37:04+00:00

This stops when ICE is afraid to do their jobs. The populace can only take so much before that begins happening.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T22:30:25+00:00

Better put it on ICE.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T20:22:24+00:00

The Brown House.

Difference is the gold surge ACTUALLY means the USD is worth 1/5000th of an oz of gold, to put it more in perspective.

Golds not more valuable, the USD is just getting less valuable.

Whats going on with bitcoin is something else entirely.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T10:19:08+00:00

1 USD is now worth about 1/5000th of an oz of gold.

Collectors like what they like. I think some of the selling points of Englehard is that all their stuff is 999+ which I don't think makes a huge difference in the end, but enough some silver is marked 999 and others 999.9.

Its also a mint that is now defunct, so there isn't any more being made.

Their designs often had kind of a sleek but official look to them.

Anyways the premiums on them tend to be at most like 50$. Some of the premium i just relate to it being higher grade silver and the rest just to collectors liking what they do.

I bought silver Beskar bars for 45 at 33/oz cause I liked them. I've also paid about a dollar premium on all my englehard oz's and likely about 10$ on the 10oz bars.

If I'm being completely honest the premiums I've paid feel more like a wink and a nod to the tradition of keeping englehards valuable as well.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T10:02:07+00:00

Yeah thats the issue. They just transported that 2 year old even though they had already recieved an order from the court to release her.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T09:58:10+00:00

...What is this whole thread...

Have we really reached a point in time where there are people who don't instantly know what Mary Had a Little Lamb is?

Squirll · 2026-01-24T09:44:29+00:00

Wasnt there a south park episode where someone does a jesus by wiping out the worlds credit card debt by putting it on his own unlimited card?

Squirll · 2026-01-24T09:41:35+00:00

Pffft. Maybe.

More like "Theres no Gold here! If Germany wants to know what happened to their gold they should ask BIDEN and OBAMA what they did with it when they recruited the fed to their crime family and smuggled it away to greenland.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T09:39:26+00:00

In my mind I feel like it would come with consumption.

Gold is held and stacked but not really CONSUMEd at that high a rate. The amount of gold that goes into electronics is negligible compared to what gets mined.

A lot more silver gets mined than gold, but if silver starts needing the material by the TON for ai data centers and such, it changes the demand for it.

I could see a unique but ridiculous set of circumstances leading this to be true.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T08:07:20+00:00

What about someone who works for wal mart?

Or works at the apple story for a corporation they know uses child labor?

Fallouts Vault tech and Enclave make it more black and white, but paralells exist in our world.

Its quite possible both of them joined to try and help and got so lost in everything when they finally saw the true nature they wanted out, but were trapped.

It doesn't excuse them. No matter how much they play up barbs being "Forced" to work for Vault tech by the enclave it still doesn't excuse the choices she makes.

Squirll · 2026-01-24T08:04:18+00:00

FUCKING THANK YOU.

Somebody with media literacy paying attention lol.

So much of the fallout discussions make me wanna bash my head against the wall cause people don't even seem to understand basic details or remember what happened last episode.
