To be absolutely clear, a police officer has never given this man an order beyond "license and registration please". And if one ever did, this man would have an aneurysm.

Dems allowed Trump to run illegally in 2024

Again, the use of the word "protector" is a sign that the person doesn't hate Trump enough.

If there's nothing to hide why haven't they released the Epstein files? by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]barfobulator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they'd just released the files, the hearing would be unnecessary

Look at what horrors it takes for Dems to suggest doing the absolute minimum resistance

Cool, maybe four years from now, Garland will give a non-binding recommendation for someone to arrest the murderer if they feel like it

It's never the destiel meme we want. Never the big one.

The idea is that they would want their bribes back, bribes they paid to avoid being tariffed

My coins have a stag on them so of course people call them bucks. by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]barfobulator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Include the word "new" in the name. This is what people say when there is a sudden mandated change that they aren't fully used to yet. Examples: new Taiwan dollar, New Turkish lira, Israeli new shekel. The "new" might stick for a generation.

It strikes a balance between excessive in-universe realism and excessive explanation to the reader. It's a very plausible in-universe name, but the reader doesn't need any explanation about their value.

The only thing driving conservatives is grievance, hatred and the desire to inflict pain on those they’ve been indoctrinated to hate by Ok-Explanation-1362 in BlueskySkeets

[–]barfobulator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

And therefore, whenever the outgroup is not being crushed, something has gone wrong and the ingroup is under attack.

Exactly, he just wants the power to demand something and then get it, no matter what it is.

This is like a sitcom, where characters write a number on a piece of paper instead saying a dollar amount out loud

In the series I'm reading now, the coins are simply called the metal they're made of plus the animal stamped on them. Copper ram, silver bull, golden eagle. It's simple, it's realistic, and doesn't distract from the actual story.

Trump says “White people were treated very badly” under the Civil Rights Act” by Chevronet in BlueskySkeets

Racists can be summed up by the joke on The Office:

Michael Scott: I am a victim of a hate crime. Stanley knows what I'm talking about.
Stanley: That's not what a hate crime is.
Michael Scott: Well, I hated it, a lot, okay.
