There’s a lot on that page to unpack.

Jay Leno discussing it with “Hill” on her show.

A picture of a frowning Bill with a black eye, presumably doctored for both?

The alien, sure.

But the top line says “Bonus Inside: Get a Sex Change - Free!” which is the thing I’d actually read the paper for. Like, that’s a very niche market I would imagine to target as new readers, and it’s a bizarre way of drawing that market to your paper.

There won’t be a second lockdown. The first showed that the US safety net is so threadbare that it didn’t stop shit, and congress had to pass a bill giving adult citizens and legal residents $1200 each, as though that would solve anything.

Never mind everybody getting up in arms about the economy (because the bottom line is more important than saving lives) and people still thinking this is a hoax, or the vaccine will fix everything, or that wearing a mask is the most significant civil rights violation since slavery, or that it’s just the ‘flu because Trump had it for three days and still worked through it or whatever.

It hasn’t been taken seriously enough for nearly 8 months, that won’t change now, especially when it can be excused as being respiratory disease season.

It is inevitable. It is terrifying.

Going to have to second (third?) want Frumple and sluissa have said. Hunter isn’t Joe, and Joe is running for prez.

We know Hunter has issues with drugs, we also know he’s an adult so the video with the woman is fair enough, so long as both parties are consenting to the act and it being recorded. Haven’t read anything about the emails because how these things were revealed means you would have to take a whole heaping pile of salt with it.

Eric Trump literally met with foreign agents expecting to get dirt on Hilary back in ‘16, and his excuse for not reporting the a very illegal thing was that they didn’t actually have the dirt on Hilary.

Also, is there any evidence of pedo stuff on Hunter’s laptop? Even a quick search on t’internet revealed the right-wing sites not saying that.

Also no evidence of Trump having done pedo stuff, or incest stuff beyond saying Ivanka is pretty and he’d probably date her if he wasn’t related to her. Icky, sure, but nothing solid.

I think a lot of people in the thread are holding their nose as voting for Biden as he is so far from the ideal candidate, but if he wins it would mean no more Trump, until he inevitably decides to run again at some indeterminate point in the future because he thinks he can get another term in before he dies.

Happy birthday my friend! ;)

Uh. Roblox. Or something. Just me or that meme is kinda overdone already? Not to mention it's a bit... disrespectful to associate someone with just one thing that they did like two years ago. Unless KT himself is okay with it.

I did say I was bad.

It also shows how much they’ve matured, their old age is good for something.

‘cause I’m a bad person.

Also lazy, else I’d have done something better with it.

We're (possibly) in the second half of the Covid Cup semi-final and the score is Scotland 5, England 3.


England uses a 3-Tier system for Covid threat/lockdown purposes.

Scotland adds a Tier-0 (best "still no vaccine" level of local issuelessness) and Tier-4 (hard, hard lockdown needed in this area - stay shut up in your crannogs except for the most essential inter-clan raiding purposes).


/hears a sparse but proud rendition of Flower O' Scotland from the appropriate half of the socially-distanced crowd...

I’m a bit torn between this tiered system. Like, on the one hand, having different rules for different places is just going to make people confused over what they should be doing in different areas (if indeed they go between different areas) but on the other, assuming the rules for the different tiers are communicated clearly, it means people should be able to slide into the right mindset depending on the tier severity.

It could also be my perception of the leaders doing this. Boris is just all sorts of awful and doesn’t appear to actually know what the rules are, and has received some pushback from some areas that the government put into the most severe category, while I think Sturgeon is at least trying to do the right things, even if she makes some missteps and upsets people, like the entire hospitality industry in Scotland.

Everyone can change in at least some way. It takes a well-developed sense of self-awareness, though. You have to learn to catch yourself doing what you normally do and choose to be different.

You can’t change what happens to you, but you can change how you respond to it.

The newer Transformer films are just living up to the original cartoon in that they’re just vehicles for selling shit.

The films just sell shit which is unrelated to the toys. In the last one I watched, there was a Pagani Zonda supercar, and they went to China to sell Chinese products instead. Like, Stanley Tucci, amazing actor, was drinking some kind of Chinese milk brand at one point.

You don’t even need to search around for such archives, GOG offers offline installers in the first place.
So you can keep it for as long as you are able to do so.

You can find them in your library.

Yup. None of this Galaxy bullshit dl’ing stuff at a tenth of the speed I can download it through my browser, gimme the installer and I’ll do it myself damnit!

Would anyone take the bet that Trump gets muted multiple times, storms off the stage, then tweets about mainstream media silencing conservative voices?

Never knew it was a thing; read a brief summary of some bits from it; this needs to be made law.

Bought things on Amazon on Tuesday, say I want them the following Monday.

Receive an email on Thursday saying they will in fact arrive on Saturday.

They arrive on Friday though.
