Got none, unless it's Jinro 24. Amazing how you can make friends with a bottle of shochu.

Lies, that's just part of good macro.

Macro nutrients?

Boy howdy, you could research the whole Zerg tech tree off my digestive tract after a good burrito...

Only when it's convenient to him; bots get to be a nebulous 'other' adversary to be paraded around whenever necessary. It's fortunate that they're not actually people, since boy howdy is that fascism knocking at the door, but given his echo chamber of 'unlimited free speech' and 'enlightened centrism' that distill down to far-right bullshit, 'the bots' is probably going to end up meaning 'the leftoids' or whichever lame tag for 'people who don't agree with banning journalists and platforming nazis.'

In his latest example, bots don't pay $8 to participate in vanity polls, so Musk isn't actually stepping down as CEO per his last poll; he's running it again for verified users only. You gotta pay if you wanna tell his metrics that he's a clammy chode, and by that point he has your money.

From what I understand, the full report comes out to the public on wednesday, so it'll be a hot minute 'til we can see that ourselves, but the committee is alleging violations of four criminal statutes by Trump and maybe conservative lawyer Eastman, according to AP News.

It's also got ethics referrals for five House republicans for ignoring congressional subpoenas.

As the committee can only provide recommendations, it means now that it's in the DoJ's hands, but to ignore the committee and its recommendations would some somewhat damning to the credibility of the system since we've got record and exhaustive committee investigation to encourage criminal charges.

I never did get around to reading the Mueller Report, but I'm hoping to actually set time aside to read this one. Holiday doldrums, and all that, and it'd be good to get ahead of all the reasons my backasswards family might call it a nothingburger.

Fucking hate that term, 'nothingburger.' Totally unrelated, sorry.

Why do A,B,C,D,E in 20 minutes when you can do A,F,G,B,H,I,L,E, in 40 minutes?

From A to D, skipping B and C!

i love this grappling hook

My wrist is killing me; need to go buy a brace for it. Take care of your hands, folks! You can wreck 'em with too much computer time.

Hey, "Non-fun" is right there in the name of "non-fungible token."

It's my understanding that most of the hype behind NFTs is since past, so maybe it's a good warning if the process to manage them was painful.

I'm excited for the journey ahead of you! I'm not sure which is correct to say I'm happy you're on your way towards the best, truest, or actual form of yourself, but it makes me warm to know the barriers towards, well, you, are parting. I see it was an exciting and enabling time for Rolan, how are you feeling about it? Anxious, eager, affirming?

Sorry, I guess I don't really need an answer to say I'm happy for you!

I laugh at my own jokes all the time. My wife thinks I am mad sometimes.

You're not mad, you're just disappointed.

I get very proud of myself with especially clever jokes. I'll celebrate my own brushes with brilliance, absolutely, especially when it lands really well with your victims friends or acquaintances. There's, uh, a lot of stinky groaners left along the way that I'm certainly not proud of, but I have a reputation to maintain, y'know?

Apologies for the narcissism
That react is "SAME" because I hate how much I cackled at my own joke

We love a good joke.

And not to steal your thunder, but would that make Scatman John the... Lead singer?

Nevertheless; this is more interesting as a historical question. There have always been shadowy conspiracies trying to run the world,

Do me a solid, who are these shadowy conspiracies trying to run the world? Gimme some actual historical examples of global shadowy conspiracies.

And don't say illuminati, because they did not exist and still do not exist, so they're not a historical example.

Yes, because science doesn't happen in a vacuum and we haven't eradicated cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, trisomy, genetic propensities for cancer, predispositions to addiction, haemophilia, near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or male-pattern baldness.

We can't have an illuminati's illuminati if we don't presently have an illuminati, and believe me, we don't have an illuminati. Trying to refute 'what is' with 'what if' is a fool's errand.
