Anyone who gives any weight to the verbal vomit of a professional sports celebrity is already on the losing side in the war against Not Being A Fucking Moron.

That’s a good one. Love the art style of all their videos.

This certainly has the ring of truthiness to it.

Now kith.

I don’t!

My wife does it for me, lol.

I have a group text with my immediate family so we can coordinate semi-regular get-togethers, and I do the same with my own kids, but that’s it.

(There’s no way I’d be able to get my parents to learn how use anything more complicated anyhow, and just getting everyone in my own household to use a shared calendar was a whole thing. Simpler is better.)

My wife, however, likes staying informed, if not always in touch, and so dutifully does all the obligatory proud parent posting on facebook. She lets me know if anything important comes up from one of the relatives on there.

Distant family stays distant, which is how I like it, because most of them are pretty right wing anyway and the less I have to engage with their gibberish the better. Otherwise I only visit facebook occasionally to browse a shitposting page for a podcast I listen to. It’s better this way.

Okay, sure, but voting on a single issue is what fucking morons do.

Sounds to me like those are shitty safety limits then. Fix your nuke plants, Japan. You’d think this would be a priority after the last time.

Depending on what you’re using it for, your best bet might be a compact set like this or this.

There are various types of universal “female” style wrenches, but nothing I’ve ever seen for the “male” type that requires different bits. A set with integrated bit storage is probably as small as you’re going to get.

Sometimes you just have to work within the system that exists and promote change from within.

The fact that it’s usually women doing the dumb thing is problematic, but these jokes are easily mapped onto whoever you want to denigrate. As a Montana, these were often jokes about North Dakota, and as the scion of a large Norwegian clan, I also often heard these as Sven and Ole jokes.

To me the latter is actually a funnier way to approach them, because it’s two characters who everyone knows are dumb (and who are stand-ins for those people in your life who act this way) and you’re not just blanket insulting a whole group of people.

Yeah, so was McCain until he got onto the ticket and every GOP puppet master shoved their arms up his ass.

“What’s next?”

I’d modify the question to specify that each life is presented as a unique and compelling motion picture, each between an hour and four hours in length, of the sort that would be likely to win either critical acclaim or box office success (or both) at some point in the late 20th to early 21st century - and that I get to watch them in an unending variety of well-staffed and enthusiastically-attended movie theaters, with interesting companions who I can discuss the movie with for as long as I want to afterwards, with endless credit to spend at the concessions, and with no bodily needs like discomfort or fatigue.

Honestly, imagine watching Schindler’s List, Come and See, and Jean Dielman a billion times over. And then imagine that those films are each several decades in length.

The prompt said that time freezes. No time = no pain.

Well if that’s the real answer, then any question at all would be a waste.

And the unfounded snobbery award of the day goes to

Muppet Family Christmas and Emmett Otter are our yearly Xmas Eve watch.

Today it’s the Doctor Who episode “A Christmas Carol”, on the day that we’re all halfway out of the dark.
