GRRRR! I can never find real porn like that!

I don’t enjoy it, but my brain requires it. I have to be forced to get up, get ready, go. If not I’ll rot away as I’ve been rotting for the last 18-months without a job.

Everyone out here acting like they’re capable of self-motivation. Well? If you can do that, go start a business. I could get up and cruise town on trash day, pick up shit for free, flip it at the flea market.

Agreed to go with my wife to her flea market booth this morning. Got up at 6:30, got ready, rolled out. Most productive and happy day I’ve had in weeks. Also, I was forced to get my shit together yesterday to prep for the sale, so there’s that. (Not counting that labor as it needed done in any case.)

Today was a rainy Sunday and we still scored $300, call it $200 profit for sitting around 5 hours, $20/hr. each. Plus, we went shopping without leaving the place. Hit the Mexican grocery booths, got carrots of unusual size (🥕) and fresh cilantro. White dude that grows his own hooked me up with a monster bag of ripe, yes, actually ripe, tomatoes. Black lady sold me a sweet, straw cowboy hat for $15. We made friends, gave shit away, had shit given to us, profitable day!

Had a coworker that would roll out with her husband on trash days, twice a week. They would average $400 for 5-6 hours on a Saturday. “We steal our neighbor’s trash and sell it back to them on the weekend!” They didn’t even leave their hood. That’s about what I made working my ass off for minimum wage ($15), after taxes, 40-hours a week at Lowe’s. And I wasn’t limping into and out of the job site.

Don’t want to work for the man? You don’t have to, but don’t whine at me if you choose to. (I know it’s more complicated than that!)

EDIT: Scored a kickass Levi’s jean jacket from my own wife! (she didn’t charge me)

Doing this when I get my kids for Thanksgiving. Gotta get them to watch the episode first, that’s the main trick.

I rolled my own VPN, no issues. Won’t say how because I got my ass beat for recommending it last time.

Only time I’ve seen Trump suffer humiliation was when Obama beat his ass at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Imagine being in a room with top politicians and journalists, getting hand your ass. I’d laugh, but I’m not Trump.

If you haven’t seen it, take 10-minutes to see why Trump ran for office, see how we got here.

Look at the upvotes on this one. Embarrassing that so many lemmings jumped on this.

Let me spell it out y’all: Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He is not capable of being wrong, let alone humiliated. He doesn’t give two flying fucks what anyone says or thinks, to him, the ad was faked. End of story. He is not able to believe otherwise.

Stop that. Yes, luck and heredity are the #1 factors in wealth and success. Stop using those factors as excuses.

Death is the option here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Missed that boy! Homeboy alone, aint’ he?

Dandy boy there in the back with TWO bitches. Tell y’all, nothing wrong with dressing a tad feminine. Don’t be afraid.

All these memes about wanting to die: You could have been a chunk of ice orbiting Saturn, but you lucked into the single greatest thing the universe has to offer, sentient life.

Most docs these days aren’t fixing broken bones, straight to the ER. When I broke my first bone, 9th bd, 1980, doc had the services available to get me in a cast on the spot.

Don’t know if it’s a liability thing, or hyper-specialization, but I wouldn’t expect a general practitioner to do more than read the X-ray and say, “Off you go.”

Some good news though! Been sent to the ER 3 times worried about my heart. No, I have zero heart issues despite smoking for 20 years and drinking for 30, but I’m kinda noid about it. Last time I was at my GP, they gave me an EKG and a reading right in the office!

American medicine: 5 steps forward, 4 steps back, don’t be unlucky.

Don’t understand. If the X-ray didn’t show it, I’d figure I had a minute fracture, do what the doc said, go about my day. I’ve had many breaks, no compound fractures, but a few greenstick and the like, plenty that were so minor, wasn’t any care that would make a difference (per the doctors). Not much can be done with ribs and fingers and toes. :)

Can you explain why it took an MRI to see the break? Not in the medical field, not being mean or sarcastic, just can’t get my head around it. As I understand it, that is not what an MRI scan is for.

Yes, without the ACA it would have been far more than you could afford, but not hundreds of thousands. I’ve had a few surgeries, and not even the shattered femur was over $100,000, even with the overinflated prices.

BTW, fixing to lose my Obamacare! Nice, ain’t it?

It covers changes over a 12-month period, says so right on the graphic. We know prices exploded over the past 5 years, we’re interested in seeing what inflation’s up to right now.

Depopulation was an issue a decade or more before the war. Which makes the meat grinder even harder to understand.

Depopulation has been an issue in Russia for some time. At one point they created a holiday for everyone to stay home from work and fuck, though I think that was a regional thing.

I would love to halve the human population, but the economic situation is going to be horrific for decades as we figure out how to adjust.

This is not just an aircraft carrier. For starters, this is the USS Gerald Ford, a Gerald R. Ford-class carrier, the latest shit. A US aircraft carrier is a monstrous group of war machines, not a single boat (though it’s the size and population of a small town). We got 11 aircraft carriers in total, to cover planet Earth.

For context, US aircraft carriers are sent to regions to project force. “We can ruin you if you fuck around and we don’t have to be in sight of land to do so. Also, good luck fending us off, because you can’t.” Short of a boomer (nuclear sub which you’ll never hear about) an aircraft carrier group is the deadliest thing mankind has ever deployed.

So, we’re sending nearly 1/10th of our global naval warfighting machine, the very tip of the spear, to <checks notes> Venezuela?!

I have no snarky comment or bullshit prediction here. I cannot imagine WTF is going on except to guess… what? A major escalation against… who? And why? There’s something going on here that’s not going to be obvious until it kicks off.

Joke -> 💨 -> me. 🙈

Uh, aren’t you two agreeing?

Fucking ridiculous around here. Seen 20-yo images, “Is this AI slop?!” It’s the cool kid thing to do now I guess.

“I’m so smart! I hate AI and can spot it anywhere!”
