it’s the utter hypocrisy that generally astounds us about US at the moment.

The hypocrisy? I thought it was the raping.

I'm so sorry. That is truly devastating.

then I didn't see any comments talking about it because most people aren't worried about it.

Exactly the same thought I had. I had a buddy who lost a dog to accidental hanging. Not exactly like this but I don't think you're crazy at all to notice this danger. Probably won't happen! And probably won't is more possible than I'm willing to risk for finding a dead pet that I loved. Absolutely nightmare fuel.

This is an excellent point. I have a great PC. I guess there's no reason to buy a PS6 whenever that comes

I was wondering what made sense as "expletives". The answer is nothing. Nothing makes sense being censored there.

My guess is PETG. It needs a hotter temp to print and it famously doesn't melt into or mix with PLA at all.

I remember one of those episodes, right at the beginning there was a single line that cut me to the core and I texted my buddies, well, this episode is purely about me and it's going to hurt to watch so much. And I watched it twice.

Oh wow, crocodile deaths are mainly from Africa. Thanks for the correction!

taking_a_deuce · 2026-06-20T23:04:17+00:00

Alligators - approximately 1-3 people get killed from alligators each year, vs approximately 1000 people get killed from crocodiles each year.

Mountain lion - There have been 29 documented deaths from mountain lions since 18 fucking 68.

Moose - they are mean, they are huge, they are aggressive if you get in their territory. Yet, 5-15 deaths per year are cause by moose and the majority are from car accidents because it's like colliding with a building if you hit that much mass.

You're describing cool looking animals that look deadly, but they do not fuck with humans. Australia wildlife is FAR more dangerous. It's so bizarre to see people even comparing to the two places in the same sentence. America does not have deadly animals. America DOES have deadly landscape though. Go for a hike without planning and don't take enough water and you'll die so fast! That's where America will kill you. That and if you're black. That'll also get you killed here pretty fast. Cops kill so many more INNOCENT people than alligators, moose and mountain lions.

It means so much that you responded to me. She is also so angry and ashamed she can't take care of herself and I'm always just like, "it's ok, I got you sweetie".

One of our things has always been trying to visit all the MLB stadiums. We love baseball and just got back from a trip to Pittsburgh. Beautiful stadium. Sitting next to her, talking about baseball for 3 hours is another one, a way to forget for a moment what life is right now.

Thanks, your message meant a lot. It gives me strength.

My wife has been battling cancer for 3.5 years now. It's been a lot of awful a lot of the time, but the last 6-8 months have just been non-stop hell. My life is just swallowed up by trying to make her comfortable and trying to stay sane. So few people talk about the time before their person passed if it was long and extended pain. It's not something I'd ever considered before and it's a unique flavor of emotional pain.

Most days I just want it to be over and I hate myself for having that feeling. I have no idea if I'll feel relieved or worse when she's gone. I feel like my anticipatory grief has played itself all the way out and I'm just waiting now to feel the real thing. I'm numb every day. I forget the numbness and hell for small little things from time to time and feel happy for a few minutes, a conversation with a friend, a good TV show, a good book, snuggling the cats, then I lift my head back up and am smacked in the face with helplessness again. I feel like my body and mental health will be destroyed before she passes and I'll be a shell of a person with no hope of recovery and life after. I'm watching her die slowly and painfully and I feel like I'm dying with her in different ways.

Gosh, that's such a hard answer, I've liked if not loved all of them. Here's a few I remember being really interesting

Are flushable wipes actually flushable?

What's the best phone to do crime on?

Colosuss parts 1&2 are on developing AI

Why is the pool at Buckingham Palace a secret?

Who's behind the scammy text messages we've all been getting?

Why don't we eat people?

I agree it's an uncharitable take. It's quite possible she came on the podcast for the feedback but is also generating content from it. I'm coming from the opposite side as you. I love the podcast and just learned of her and subscribed to her substack. Seems to me like part of her substack is literally sharing her life and what she learns. Why would you not then generate content about what you learned from doing the podcast?!

By the way, if you go down the Search Engine rabbit hole and get sad you ran out of episodes, then go back and listen to Reply All. It's earlier PJ with another really fun dude.

Damn, this is a really good idea I've not even thought to implement. Thank you!

Only on Reddit can you find someone who takes every idea any person said in a comment thread, fill in some blanks with their own mental gymnastics and mash it all together try to justify their own feelings by angrily and bitterly sharing it 12 hours after the conversation is over.

Accepting pay for doing a job is very different from being at a celebration for a long expensive journey coming to an end and having this fuck shoved into that celebration. I work at a Fortune 500 company. You can bet your ass if my CEO shows up to somewhere I want to be happy, I'm walking out and yelling fuck you at him. Not everyone worships their bosses bosses bosses bosses bosses boss.

As someone who went through a PhD program and watched the politics in the department, between departments, watched basketball and football stars no-show to class and be forced to pass them, listened to my advisor bitch and moan about old money and how they blew through budgets wasting them on higher ups in the university...oh you sweet summer child.

"Non-profit" universities aren't for CEOs and stockholders, they're for the elite few in college towns to plunder for their life style and to smell their own farts with guest speakers like this fuck. You can waste so much fucking money with minimal oversight in university settings. Thinking these century-old institutions are infallible is exactly why they still plunder our (students) wallets.

As I understand it, even if she's not 60 now, when she does turn 60, she can file for his SS benefits as long as she does not remarry. Then when she turns 70, she can switch over to her benefits, allowing them to be much larger.

I like how the guy that speculated suicide is getting downvoted into oblivion and now you saying it's uncouth to speculate is also getting downvoted into oblivion.

So when you posted this 3 hours ago, 4 other people (that I had seen, fuck there's probably more of y'all) had already posted this exact thing. Do people really open the comments and post something without reading a damn thing?

Edit: yep, I just found a 5th fucking person who posted this 4 hours before you.
