"Lolita" would be an excellent Patreon episode for IBR!

You are putting half-melted K’Nex together and calling it a new civilization, my dude.

Just because you’re proud of your sandcastle doesn’t mean anyone wants to live in it.

I loved Resee in Walk the Lien

What the fuck even is a smart bed? Why would anyone want your bed to be smart, that's where you sleep!

Is the title of your essay "Venn Diagram or Circle?" ?

Excerpt from the article about the teenager ChatGPT encouraged to complete suicide

I have a 3rd position which is that I’ve devoted scholarly effort to understanding and researching it and the deeper I stare into the abyss the more I think there is an empty mind behind its gnashing teeth.

Right, yea, there are only 4 or 5 people that have a chance of stopping him and this video is pretty strong indication that Newsome is not near enough to that group to sniff their hair gel.

From @internethippo on X in 2023: New right wing thing is describing crimes as generically as possible to pretend like they're not crimes. Someone gets convicted of conspiracy and they start yelling "Wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now"

George Lincoln Rockwell was, to my knowledge at least, not a super popular dude among the mainline GOP in his day. Can't say that that would be true today.

There is the old "either a human who thinks he is a muppet or thinks the muppets are fellow humans" rule... but maybe one of each?

If it was a muppet, Animal would be pretty funny

That is true... but it would be pretty funny to have a human Lu Bu swinging his massive weapon and a bunch of muppet bodies flying through the air

I do like the comedic value of Swedish Chef horg-a-borging and everyone nodding along with it as wisdom.

Could see rotating humans for each movie. Maybe Lu Bu as the one human with some sort of major action movie star, like Cena? Or, for laughs, Liam Neeson?

If it's a Chi Bi story, I think the one human should be Zhou Yu, played as though the entire situation is eroding his patience to its last fraying strand.

Though I like the human Cao Cao shout, too. I feel like Gonzo would be a good Xiahou Dun.

Gonzo as Cao Cao, for sure. Miss Piggy as Guan Yu and no one questions it at all in the narrative.

Orange and yellow are generally better than green for eating raw, so have their place on snack platters and salads. I like to add them to a fruit salad for variety

I can party with an everything bagel with cream cheese, and that's my preferred with lox.

My local order is rosemary sea salt with hot honey and cream cheese. Probably too effete?

Nicholas Fraser about to sing his breakout hit "Why you always lying?"

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

How dare this person enjoy that sick-ass meal. I demand they tell me exactly where they ordered it, and roughly what it costs, so that I can avoid such chicanery in the future.

I give it 2 days before we get an AI image post of a minion in an apron holding a plate of waffles.

Graph shows 13.5% of US households are food-insecure, with 5.1% of households having "very low" food security.

Graph showing an increase in food insecurity from 2020-2023.

For some, 4 v 4.15 matters a lot.

It isn't that you're wrong that for 86%-ish of people, this isn't the most salient issue.

It's that acting like it is a complete non-issue, or that people are "imagining" it, is going to (fairly) read as intensely condescending to the remaining 14% of people.

And this was a very successful strategy that you want to ensure others know how to replicate.

"It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?" (Arrested Development, Lucille Bluth).

I work on a college campus that primarily serves students funded on Pell Grants and other sources of federal/state support, and I can tell you that conversations about cost of living are very prevalent here. Among students, of course, but also staff and faculty. It is probably a social circle thing.

Realistically ChatGPT wrote what you are replying to, tbh
