Schmidt Happens

Somebody, somewhere, is wondering how you got this picture of their nana.

Feeling panic, now I’m manic,
As democracy dies…

Child trafficker agrees to lie under oath about fellow child trafficker, if said fellow gives her a presidential pardon for the child trafficking they did together.

I’m going to hazard a guess that this person *has* nearly been involved in accidents involving speeding, but didn’t notice.

This is the one I was going to post.

I see your “not in English” and raise you…

What about in Super Bowls that are NOT part of NFL history?

Populists gonna populist.

In Ontario, at least, making any change to your vehicle that changes its performance invalidates your insurance. If you total your car after doing that, and they find out, they do not have to pay you. (Source: My brother has worked in auto insurance for 25+ years.)

The person who killed cornb93’s mother, and most others who cause traffic fatalities, almost certainly also felt that they were driving at a safe speed. The fact that you can say this today is called survivorship bias, and is completely meaningless to the discussion.

Which would be illegal, and also almost certainly invalidate your insurance.

The government of Ontario just made speed cameras illegal. 😢

Setting another reminder for 9 years from now, to start looking for new Musk predictions that he’ll be building a city on the moon in just 10 years.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Theoretically, yes, but probably no.

This sounds like something only Mormons would believe.

I believe the accepted answer to any such question comes down to “the Lord works in mysterious ways”.

if I can use this clogged toilet to make you a meal in 5 seconds, and you are going to use an entire kitchen and take all day on making a meal by hand, whose meal do you think people will want to eat, checkmate luddite

Kermit as Paul, obviously. Cookie Monster as Baron Harkonnen.

Muppet Dune where the only human role is Bobcat Goldthwait playing the sandworms.

The landlord in question apparently owns 200 units. Sell a few a retire in comfort!

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

I know the song, but am not super familiar with the lyrics. I saw them performing this and thought “oh, cool, they’ve changed it up to be very of the moment”. Looked up the original lyrics to compare, and nope, that’s how it was written.

Tremendous work by the body camera lobby to somehow continue to convince people that they are in any way useful in increasing accountability and transparency.

Picture that is most definitely of people going into a sold-out viewing of Melania, and not from the January 6 insurrection.

No, it’s true. I was there. I took this photo of people getting in.

Except, apparently, the thing you asked them to explain to you.

I got blocked for this post, so it’s not just that people don’t understand the origins, it’s that they actively refuse to learn.

Yes, exactly. Normalize the data from 2020 through probably 2022 (or even 2023?) to cancel out where the same jobs were initially “lost” and then “gained” again as the pandemic waned, and it’ll look so much different.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

He wants “to protect kids and give them a chance to grow up and have happy lives.” Not his own kids, mind you. Or kids that rely on government programs for food. Or kids in third world countries. But, you know, kids.
