I don’t think he’s goofy, I think he’s authentic.  Just being himself, a grandpa from Vermont.  Also he’s lived through 19 fricken inaugurations now, I don’t blame him for looking unimpressed.  

I can only support this idea if the plan involves large, colorful, spherical poison pills that are so delicious that the hungry, hungry hippos compete to eat them.

I’ve tried Chrome, Brave, and DuckDuckGo on Android. I’ve stuck with Brave. Its build in script blocking and stuff is very, very good, and the built in ad blocking is superb.

I got to witness a real WW2 flamethrower about 20 years ago. It was impressive as hell and hot even from 100 feet away.
 

The military-grade aesthetic of the device was eventually enough to prompt Democratic lawmakers in the New York State Senate to sponsor a bill that would criminalize the ownership and use of the would-be flamethrower.

As someone who works in the ag sector, let me state this clearly, it’s a gorram propane weed burner gussied up in a nerf gun shell, not a flamethrower.

I’ve used both. Flamethrowers are terrifying.

I mean, whether it’s a flamethrower or not depends on how local laws are written. IN PRACTICE it’s no different from a number of very common tools used in agriculture and industry. Attacks on it are based on the fact it “looks like a scary weapon” (never a sign of solid government policy) and not any danger it could…

Exactly.  You can order basically the exact same thing from Amazon anytime you want.  I carry one with me every time I go camping.

But now people in Thailand, Turkey, and China can see those ads!

These people would be horrified at what lurks within literally any Home Depot.

John Richardson might want to watch some more zombie movies. If you douse a zombie in flames, all you have is a flaming zombie that’s probably running towards you and your flammable hidey hole. Over time, the flames might burn away enough meat that the zombie becomes immobile,* but that’s not likely to happen before…

Classic private company making a situation a bigger deal by getting salty about it. Just tell him to change it and it’s literally never discussed. Now it’s A Thing. Solid work!

I can’t remember if this was posted on here or not, but the YouTube channel Project Farm does a nifty video. Is it perfect? No. But it does a pretty darn good job considering simulating years of salt and grime in a laboratory is difficult.

It reminds me of my Dad who went to the hospital because he couldn’t breathe due to a lump in his neck he hadn’t told anyone about. (He was “that guy” who didn’t want to know what it was in case it was bad.)

Agreed. By most accounts the guy’s a jerk, but nobody deserves this kind of prognosis.

That’s terrible. I can’t stand the guy, and he is by most accounts a loathsome douchebag, but I would never wish cancer on...almost anyone.

“If a cartoon has an episode about a circus, it sucks on toast.”

The only time in history parents stopping a child from watching a cartoon was a good thing. You got to love the idea of it and play better scenarios out with your imagination rather than seeing how bad the show was.

What got lost in all the efforts to pat ourselves on the back was that the recent episodes were universally horrible people engaging in the act of black face. The butt of the joke was never the black face itself, but the character was so horrible they engaged in a reprehensible act. It’s essentially the Cartman effect.

Separate from the question of whether Donald Trump should be removed from anything (for the record, I fall on the side saying that that’s not necessary--human beings are able to view and consume media with an understanding of the context in which the things were created,) I think it’d be really cute for old Mcaulay…
