  • I can’t imagine having something like this.

    You know what kind of couples I have known who use it?

    Yep. That kind. The constant accusation, constant fighting, constant chaos kind. The same kind who share a Facebook account and all that.

    I guess my bias there would be that those would also be the kind of people who advertise it.

    I was standing beside an old coworker one time when her husband called, “babe, don’t freak out when I start moving. The boss is sending me to harbor freight to pick up some things.”

    I got a call from her in the middle of the night one time, “I’m sitting by the lake and I’m about to drive my car in and kill myself.”

    She knew her husband didn’t like me so she thought I wouldn’t call him. Well, I called him. “That bitch is lying. Life 360 has her sitting at her mom’s house right now. She just fucking wants attention!”

    Still, I called a friend and asked them to drive by and see. Yep. She was at her mom’s house.


  • Over 30k in donations so far.

    What consequences? Some other Nazi will give him a job pretty quickly.

    I remember when idiots would walk outside and shout their idiocy to the world and we’d say, “GO BACK IN YOUR FUCKING HOUSE HAROLD! You’re embarrassing the entire neighborhood!”

    He’d sulk back into his living room and cuss, but he’d realize he was alone in his idiocy and he’d shut the fuck up.

    Nowadays, Nazi Harold goes back in and finds 50,000 other idiots to validate his idiocy online and reinforce his asinine beliefs.

    We live in a time when absurdity is a click away from being totally normal.

    That is fucking dangerous, but what do you do?

    He’ll be selling supplements for Heil Healthier in a few days.






  • Yeah I’d say. I’m older now and things that would have killed me in my 20s don’t mean a damn thing now. Even if something does bother me, it just is what it is.

    I don’t know. We get what we get. I’m crosseyed, can’t do anything about that. It used to bother me but it doesn’t anymore. The hair I do have is turning gray.

    Whatever we get, we just gotta live with it. :p


  • Not only am I blessed to have a full head of hair, but my younger brother has always been so much more handsome than me. Girls clawed to get to him, they fought to get to him.

    It was so funny the other night when I was on a video call with him and his wife, and I don’t even remember the comment that I made, but she pointed out that he was bald, and I had a full head of hair and I nearly lost it.

    I’m sorry that probably hurts you. It’s just a win for me, it was always so fucking easy for him. Now he’s bald and mad about it, and here I am with a beautiful lion’s mane.

    He could read this comment easily, he knows all of my usernames and shit online.

    So hey, I have a full head of hair asshole. Where’s your hair?

    It’s so crazy though, everything I ever did, he did it better. Just across the board entirely. Still to this day, shit I busted my ass on for 25 years. He’s doing it better with no effort.

    So all I really have is my hair. He has it all, the lucky bastard. It’s only right that he went bald. Nobody should be able to have it all.







  • Man, I hope so.

    When I worked in one of the poorest places in the US, those people literally couldn’t afford to get quality food.

    They had no refrigeration so they’d walk to the dollar general and get microwave tv dinners super cheap and heat them up at my store.

    You take that cheap shit away and don’t provide alternatives and those people literally starve.

    I’ve heard people say, “those people just need to get a job.” When I was in my 20s I tried very hard to employ them. (My uncle owned a chain of gas stations and, despite his issues, he cares about people and tries to help where he can in his way).

    One story that stands out in my mind. Dude shows up with the application, gives a great interview. Apparently social services were going to cut him off if he didn’t get a job. He worked for less than a week, then drank a half a gallon chocolate milk to cause issues with his diabetes so he could leave without confrontation via ambulance.

    When I got his paperwork, he could not read or write and was scribbling random gibberish. There’s no telling how much just went out the door because he didn’t know how to handle it.

    I was so angry at the person who trained him because she didn’t say anything about this. She just coldly said, “he’s an idiot. He isn’t going to last.”

    The world shits on people like him. He was denied his disability over and over again.


  • My mom’s first cousin never said anything but “colored” and she traveled to Nigeria to marry her second husband who was black and spent many years with him.

    Some things I heard her say, “oh they just don’t like me because my husband is colored.” “If you see a colored man in a yellow shirt that says reading rainbow on it, tell him to get to the car or I’m leaving him here.” “I’ve never seen a white man more handsome than the ugliest colored man.”

    “People of color” is also pretty much the same thing, and it’s almost universally used these days. What’s the difference between person of color and colored person?

    I don’t know. Language changes and evolves, and it’s definitely falling out of fashion, I’ve never personally heard “colored” as an insult. If someone wants to be insulting they generally wear their hate on their sleeve.

    I have a stamp that says, “Retarded children can be helped.” and it really isn’t that old. When it came out I doubt it shocked anyone, but when I first seen it my jaw hit the floor.


  • I don’t. Her talent doesn’t make her anything special outside of that talent. A person can do the wrong thing for the right reasons.

    Also, it happened during a time when Muslims were facing torment from the outside world because of 9/11. She wasn’t the only artist to convert to Islam during that time, but most of the ones I remember reading about at least had some potential connection to the religion through their ancestry.

    Some people cannot fathom a world without religion, even when they see the destruction in what they’re familiar with. If you spend your heart fighting one enemy, it’s a lot easier to miss the crimes of the enemy next door, especially if that enemy is a perceived underdog.

    Edit:

    2018 is when she converted apparently, but she still would have seen and felt the post 9/11 world. I don’t know much of anything so disregard everything I said if you want to or tell me why I’m an idiot if I deserve it.


  • I’ve been dealing with this forever.

    Some issues I have that I only deal with when I’m not signed in without an adblocker:

    If I try to skip back to a spot in a video, I get the loading circle and sometimes it doesn’t come back until I refresh the page. I have to make a mental note of the time and do that pretty often.

    In safari and Firefox I will get a black box for about 40 seconds, no play button, and sometimes I have to refresh the page a few times just to get it to work at all.

    Comments will not load sometimes until I refresh the page, sometimes more than once.

    The video will sometimes stop and start “loading” while I’m watching it. The solution is always a page refresh or two.

    Signed in with an adblocker, the problems drop by about 50% (pulled that number out of my ass, but I’d be willing to bet it’s close). Signed in with no adblocker on Firefox or Safari and the issues become significantly less noticeable, with exceptions from time to time. Signed in with no adblocker on chrome or edge, I experience none of this.

    I believe they purposely throttle it on non chromium browsers too.

    Sorry if this comment is jumbled. Woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache, got bored waiting for it to pass, so now I’m here and barely conscious.



  • Hey man, I’m an Appalachian hillbilly. I’m right there with you. My people actually busted their asses to win union representation, fought and died for it, killed their opposition in the streets.

    Nowadays they’re licking boots and voting roughly 90% for republicans who lie and tell them that coal can come back.

    If their grandparents knew that they’d turned to suck the cocks of the coal bosses they’d rise from their graves and gun them down.

    We’ve not only been left to rot, but actively participated in covering ourselves in shit and now we’re letting the maggots feast on our flesh.

    I understand your frustration.

    We have great music, great food, flat asses, and no brains.


  • Bro, it is all of us.

    Human beings have shown over and over again throughout history that no matter their heritage, they’re just dumb and incapable of seeing it.

    We have brilliant humans all over the world from varying backgrounds, but most of us (myself included in oh so many ways) are just pitifully incapable of getting any of this right.

    We focus on what is in front of us and relevant in a moment, and when another human starts running and screaming, we all start running and screaming. We don’t stop to ask why because we don’t want to get eaten or left behind.

    Someone else shows up and starts eating a little grass in the little stupid field, and the rest start looking for things to chase them off over. “Something ain’t right about his hat. It’s funny! Git eeeeem!”
