This X1000. The contents of the bottle are almost as offensive as the branding.

Yeah, the grocery stores around here looked like there was a hurricane about to make landfall back in March. Hoarders were in full force.

A lot of the problem is that there is so much money being injected into the system via both monetary and fiscal policies, and it has to go somewhere. Interest rates are back down to negligible levels, so bonds aren’t appealing. Inflation is edging up, which erodes the buying power of idle cash. The fundamentals of…

I’m getting some serious mixed messages from that disclaimer. I’m not sure how people can reconcile an organization saying both “COVID was a liberal hoax, designed to take our freedumbs and ruin President Trump” and “If you catch the ‘Rona at one of our mask-free, socially undistanced rallies...that’s on you,…

Politicians terrified of their re-election chances in a bad economy and RWNJs that don’t trust science or legitimate academic expertise blew our window to keep this shit under control. We didn’t act soon enough, in a concerted enough and thorough enough way, to have any chance of stamping the disease out. We took a…

Yeah, it’s really more a comment on the impact of social media and the internet on the speed and immediacy of the global flow of ideas than it is about either MLK or George Floyd as people.

The full quote required reading more than two coherent sentences, and it’s hard to sustain both focus and outrage when you’re busy thinking through the intent of the statement.

The problem isn’t the technical feasibility of flying personal vehicles. The real problem is that most people can’t drive worth crap in two dimensions. Having another axis to contend with would be insanely dangerous for everyone (drivers, passengers and bystanders), regardless of how well the flying car or bike…

That’s been one of the liberating things to come out of the pandemic. I started buzzing my hair with clippers a few weeks ago, and I have zero desire to waste another dime on professional hair services.

Must be nice. Here in FL, I’d say that maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the people out and about are wearing masks.  Social distancing is so March...it’s back to people completely ignoring your personal space.  It’s a damn free for all.

And why are there crates of ammo for weapons from the Milky Way *everywhere* in Andromeda? Seriously- you’ve never met anyone from our solar system before, but you somehow have huge stockpiles of our ammo?!

Hmmm...usually, my thought process before going to the doctor goes: will this heal or clear up on its own? If not, how likely is it to be fatal or seriously impair my quality of life? The virus didn’t change a whole lot for me.

10 years ago, I would have completely agreed with you. But with the way the last three years have gone...I wouldn’t put it past a not-insignificant proportion of them to take up arms if a BLM protest passes through one of their neighborhoods or at the Trumpster’s request if/when he loses the election.

It’s useful for keeping up on my kids’ schools, neighborhood news and a few political blogs...but you’re you’re probably right. Arguing with randos online is a huge time suck, and I’m constantly reminded that I’m surrounded by idiots.  I wouldn’t be any less surrounded by idiots after cutting it out, but it would be…

Conspiracy theorists desperately trying to weave together unrelated coincidences. Film at 11.

All the AMC theaters in my area are sketchy as hell. Mostly located in half-dead enclosed malls, old nasty seats, smallish screens (for an actual theater). They’re just not competitive with some of the nicer, newer chains.

The Venn diagram of people who say “...but all lives matter!” and people who think the civil rights movement in the 1960s “fixed all that racial stuff” is almost a perfect circle.

Yikes! He went from looking like Ralph Maccio to looking like James Woods circa the early aughts - but with dark hair.

Or at least to be the setting of an episode of Rick and Morty.

Hey, now...Real Genius is far from a classic, but I was 10x better than My Science Project.
