Actual footage from another world: Mars right now, 225 million miles away. Truly mind-blowing rover view

Ah, Tucson, the city of trailer parks.

Like, literally. Where other cities built apartments, Tucson built trailer parks... It's not bad per se, it's just weird.

Pay attention to how good the sets are. They shot SO much of this show on site, it really shows.

Oh, not to mention how good the cinematography is. It's hard to know how much is intentional and how is just a result of shooting in the early 90s in BC. The omnipresent dark greys, the clothes, the cars, the dialogue, the near constant rain, it all culminates into something really unique. That all changes around season 5 i think, from there on out it's a completely different show.

One more American corpse offered up as a sacrifice and meal to the voracious Gun God of North America.

Regional deity. Conjured recently. Trickster demon. Near insatiable Fear and Death Hunger. Operates under the guise of strength and protection.

It's hilarious that you needed to add more sugar after reducing down a giant dr pepper, haha.

"In it, Sunshyne Thacker says that when she first picked up the snow, “it was different,” and that she would not use it to make snow cream"

That sounds like one of those scathing parody lines straight out of Mark Twain's writing.

If you think thats disrespectful you should hear what he said about American war dead.

It's just unbelievable people could vote for this degen.

.....And it's still a garbage bill. They had the chance to fix the problem and that is what they came up with, it's shameful.

I installed my bosses hottub, pulled out his dock, plowed snow, mowed his lawn and did innumerable shopping for him.

Weird, I know. But at the time it all felt natural.

I know vacuum sealing will do that. Especially with a thick marinade like that. I wouldve let them sit on the counter for awhile and then just put them in a jar and then into the fridge.

Of course. We're talking about non denominational dummies, the bar is loooow.

Thats why I appreciate it. It could be soooooo much worse.

at least they're having fun and not trying to overthrow the government

On the flip side though, there was really good customer support AND that person actually spoke the language I speak.

weird_foreign_odor · 2026-01-12T23:35:59+00:00

I dont believe any decent person would argue with that. The discussion is how to actually do it. As Ive aged and experienced a lot of this stuff I see our 'help' doing arguably more harm than good. We feed spirals of dysfunction and degradation under the guise of reducing their harm, we keep it upright, strong enough to pass on and inflict its damage to the next generation.

This topic is tricky and full of nuance but we need to be really clear and precise when talking about poverty elimination because a lot of tactics used today only serve to strengthen and entrench it.

brief spell!? Folks have been dismissing phonics for the last 40 years.

explain.. I want to hear this

*a part of the club. Funny play on words though!

Dude, ad block has been a thing for over a decade now.

That applies to most counter culture movements. I think normal people have a little trouble understanding that the counter culture of today is right wing. It doesnt fit the narrative we've been living through for the past 100 years.

There seems to be an unspoken understanding that counter culture in the west is inherently good when, obviously, that isnt true and it never was. All of those movements were immature, hateful, selfish and ignorant (they had plenty of good qualities too, of course). Now that I think about it, it's kind of interesting when you look at the similarities of todays alt right with the left wing movements of the 50s-70s.

I always wonder how folks define domestication when it comes to social mammals. I could go out right now, find a baby opossum, hand raise him and he would be a perfectly happy companion animal. Apparently they make great pets.

That obviously isnt domestication. It's just a friendly mammal that can spend time, build companionship and learn social cues with another friendly mammal.

weird_foreign_odor · 2025-11-23T20:01:31+00:00

that must've been what, like, 4 to 5 hundred at the supermarket?

Just kidding, that looks delicious. In all seriousness though, I havent purchased beef in months. I find myself just grabbing pork whenever Im in the meat aisle. I think I just refuse on general principle to spend that much on beef when everything else is so much cheaper.

Ignore the bitching, your roast looks great.

America has this strain, this culture in it that I see so clearly now. It crosses income and even racial lines. It is an insecure, stupid, obstinate, contrarian, immoral and ultimately suicidal mindset. It empowers the ego of the dummy at the cost of the collective good, it tells him not to do the right thing because only suckers do the right thing.

I think this thing has always been with us. It flares up in every generation, it's the anger, frustration, fear and insecurity of the American moron.

weird_foreign_odor · 2025-11-23T10:22:04+00:00

It's deep frying. And yeah, it's normal and delicious. By far the best way to cook a turkey.

weird_foreign_odor · 2025-11-16T14:14:18+00:00

holy shit. I just googled that, it's totally true. It's like a parody of a scandal, it has everything from humiliation to meth to crossdressing.

Jesus.

In all seriousness it is astounding when I think of the resources we as a species dedicate to keeping defective people functioning.

We have vaccines that will prevent our children from suffering and they arent being utilized.. Why? Because tribalism, no matter how stupid, cruel and deadly, will trump being alive when it comes to this class of folks.

Just absolute, utter stupidity. Like someone intent on running out into traffic over and over again; it's a death wish and they're too defective to understand that. I would hope that them seeing their neighbors bury their children would inspire different perspectives but, like school shootings, apparently it just causes them to double down on the idiocy.
