Well I had 8 people watching my stream at one time tonight.. I call that a success...

my latest order from tfsource is coming from pennsylvania. all other ones have come from vegas (or thereabouts). did they move? is there a convention in pennsylvania theyre at and shipped from there?

Unless it's the main cast of Persona 5.

I realize there is a certain irony in my vocabulary selection there.

People who admire public thieves and tricksters are.....sad.

Ah damn it, need to go get some new headphones.

Power was out for most of the day, and now a boil water advisory. Been a great day so far...

Bottom line, he reminds them alternatively of all the con men they grew up with watching on television (i.e. televangelists) or their favorite character from the Bible (i.e. Old Testament God).

Bill Maher gave an excellent explanation for why the Religious Right loves Trump so much.

"NOOOO said the man in washington! It's belongs to the poor!"... oh boy was he wrong.

see also Andrew Ryan

Also, "Big Father" has almost all the benefits of "Big Brother", but with none of the drawbacks.

I'd go with "moron", personally.

Why not both?

I think she was a psychopath.

Ayn Rand was a pretentious bitch.

But Sven makes way more sense now

Man, watching the original Voltron cartoon for the first time is so weird after having only seen the Netflix reboot.

+They don't really give a crap about God. All their religious talk is just part of the mask. They wanna look like the ideal citizen (what they consider that to be) - the most Christian of all Christians, the most patriotic of all patriots, etc.

That's because she was also greedy, heartless, and despised the poor, which is something the right often loves more than God.

I find it rather amusing that the party of the Religious Right sees wisdom in a woman who hated the notion of God almost as much as she hated and feared the idea of being part of a family.

However, another big issue is cultural differences. We do have a sense of humor, it's just different than in other cultures because it is a product of a different culture. Simply put, what you might find incredibly funny is considered unfunny by Germans... and vice versa.

It's actually a multi-faceted issue. Yes, some Germans are incredibly devoid of humor, although those people exist in other countries too. I have no ideas regarding statistics, but these people exist.

So, about this long-standing stereotype that "Germans have no sense of humor"...

I got enough Rand fighting my way through the Sword of Truth series. I can't imagine trying to read the original work.

All the people who like Rand should go live in a big underwater city. I cannot foresee anything that could go wrong with such a scenario.

Everyone needs to stop reading Rand

Gotten a new Gundam gunpla toy model kit 

Ugh it's ridiculous how some people worship Rand's ideas.

That's one of the things the old cable companies got right: Only one or two options per area. The illusion of choice.

business types need to stop reading Ayn Rand.

The streaming services are starting to get too saturated and start canabilising each other.

Good thing I never bought into VRV...Funimation is pulling out. And I got into HiDive at $4 a month.

The restauraunt messes up your food, you complain to customer service. Complain to 911 when you get food poisoning from said food.

Ugh. I hate people sometimes.

I mean, white people are calling the cops on black people for random shit lately, it appears.

It's not that surprising that some people freaked out enough over Youtube being down that they'd call emergency services. I mean, I've heard of at least one instance of someone calling 911 because the restaurant didn't make a cheeseburger to their liking.

https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2018/10/16/youtube-experiences-widespread-outage/ Just one of several stories about it.

*groan* Morons.

Yep.

people were calling 911 about YouTube being down?

....what

Apparently some people freaked out so much they called 911.

I was at work when it happened I guess.

disappeared completely up its own asshole.

Youtube was gone?

I actually agree with you MEDdMI, or at least be creative. x.x

Death threats are boring. Get to know the person, then torment them with stuff that really gets under their skin. *evil grin*

YouTube is back!

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
