The one I was thinking of is, “It’s somebody’s fetish. No exceptions.”

Brings new meaning to the Salt-N-Pepa song.

Everyone talks about Rule 34, but nobody mentions the equally valid Rule 36.

He made The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. I will love him forever.

Again, you’re giving massive benefit of the doubt by assuming the psychotic parent is not racist and that he’s telling the truth about the bullying situation, especially when his actions don’t seem to match his words.

Just because he says he’s not racist, doesn’t mean he’s not racist. And his actions look pretty damn racist.

Because even a moment’s consideration will tell you a situation where the district superintendent and only the district superintendent is responsible for poor handling of a disciplinary situation is extremely fucking unlikely.

You are going out of your way to give a psychotic parent who assaulted a school official benefit of the doubt that he has not earned.

Then why specifically the superintendent? Even if this was a bullying issue with an unsatisfactory conclusion, there’s no way he would have engaged with the superintendent of the district without engaging with the principal first. They would both have failed to resolve the problem, so why would he have gone after the superintendent specifically and left the principal there to shake his daughter’s hand?

And, of course, the other issue is, even if that was true, that doesn’t make what he did OK. He’s marginally less shitty by virtue of not being openly racist, but he still made sure that his daughter’s last memory of high school is him getting arrested for assaulting the district superintendent and embarrassing her in front of the entire graduating class and their families.

You should watch the movie. It’s all kinds of fun.

So, we eat the cops as a side dish when we eat the rich, right?

Same.

XP actually wasn’t great on release, though I don’t know anybody who clung to ME, considering it was itself a huge dumpster fire. It wasn’t until SP1 hit that XP got really good.

Most of us were just riding out 98SE as long as we could until MS got their shit together. Some people had 2000, but it wasn’t really a consumer-class OS; it was meant more for the enterprise.

At the rate we’re going, this is what Windows 12 will look like.

Who needs courts when you have a cult of personality, a lot of whom have organized into paramilitary groups?

Even now, the courts are failing to hold him responsible for what he did. They won’t save us. And half of Congress is on his fucking side.

Even so, still better than a perpetual Trump dictatorship.

If Trump wins, he will, without a doubt, try again to end American democracy. He did before. And whatever you think of our current situation, at least we have a fucking voice right now.

So when Trump pulls another January 6, but succeeds this time and declares himself president for life, do you think that will make the situation better or worse?

And that’s a big part of why, despite everything Biden is doing, I am 100% voting for him. Because if Biden wins, there will be a 2028 election where we can hopefully find someone better, and I’m not convinced that there will be under Trump.

Four years of Trump came really close to turning this country into a kakistocratic dictatorship. I really don’t want to give him another chance.

It’s the latter that really seals it, IMHO. The Cybertruck is the most purely Elon vehicle to come out of Tesla, and the first since Elon went full mask-off. Buying it, at great personal expense, and driving it around is basically saying you approve of everything he’s doing.

They spent six figures on a truck that looks like ass, drives like ass, can’t actually do truck things, falls apart in the rain and is the brainchild of the world’s biggest douchebag.
