Chris O'Confirmation Bias

Screenshot of an online store product selection. It shows a man in the same hat twice, one in dark grey, one in light. The product is misspelled as "Gary" instead of grey.

"Gary? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Dark Gary. That was my name.

I am Light Gary, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."

Hell yeah! Great job!

I don't even like baseball & I'm shattered. I haven't watched a game but I've never been this invested in a World Series

If you see someone stealing food, no you don't.

T-Rex: Okay - time to go for a nice walk! T-Rex: And maybe I'll stick my head in some shops along the way??

Narrator: LATER: Dromiceiomimus: Hey, how's that walk going, T-Rex? T-Rex: I realized it wasn't a walk at all! It was a shopping trip that I just did on foot. I pranked myself! T-Rex: But now, Dromiceiomimus, I am going on a REAL walk. NO COMMERCE, baby!!

Narrator: BUT THEN: T-Rex: Dang it, I got some food! Utahraptor: What's up? T-Rex: I'm trying to enjoy a nice walk but INSTEAD, I keep buying things! Have I ever ACTUALLY gone for a walk without buying ANYTHING? Utahraptor: Only you can answer that. T-Rex: Well, I'm starting now!!

Narrator: LATER, AT EVEREST BASE CAMP: T-Rex: Wow, NOBODY here knows about the Everest Eliminator, the mysterious being secretly responsible for all so-called "mountaineering accidents" up on the peak?? Off panel: Who ARE you

this is why true pros go on "hikes", which are walks in wilderness areas where there aren't any stores so you can't buy ANYTHING and can also sometimes DIE

Climate change is making poison ivy stronger and itchier Carbon dioxide and warmer soils could be supercharging everyone’s least favorite plant.

From the article referenced below: tldr esp. in authoritarian systems, mediocrities and worse tend to go into the secret police b/c those with better performance have better opportunities elsewhere, so secret police gets the dregs who are extra-dependable because the thing they can offer is loyalty

Abolish ICE.

You miss 100% of the messengers you don't shoot

Satire of a NYT Opinion column: Keiko O'Brien, "Is the Cure to Male Loneliness Downing a Pint in Quark's before Shooting Down Airborne Holo-Nazis?" dated August 21, 2372

Men will receive indisputable advice from a sage woman and try to prove them wrong.

Yup. Probably get a mention of litter boxes in schools too

Mormonism aside, the Deseret News' willingness to pull the alarm on stuff nobody is doing is off the charts

You'll get your check once you've had 10 members confirmed in your downstream but you'll have to pay for all materials into you reach that point

😂 this is absolutely my favorite so far!

It's too bad that I don't think we get driverless cars that are safe without a near-human artificial intelligence & what we have now is absolutely not that

I'm in favor of driverless cars but not in a "I own this car so I can read while I go to work" model but a public transportation model where I can call a car from anywhere & have it take me wherever I want...

Cake's Jolene is great but I would kill for a cover of Dolly Parton's song by them

yeah, for sure

It's such a wonderful little bit of absurdity. I love it. Brigham was like, "you know what, what if we made Mormons even weirder?"

Happy "Fuck Christopher Columbus Day" to all who celebrate.

Yeah, it's probably similar. I've seen hikers recommend hill sprints too

Yesterday was overcast, kind of rainy, and blustery. It was fucking perfect. I love the sound of great gusts of wind blowing through trees, leaves, and tall grasses.

Mycelia Creation, expansion, death & rebirth - Build your own Fungi Kingdom.

We played a round of Mycelia (boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37...) and Quarto. She kicked my butt at both.

TFW you're on a date with your partner & about to tell her about the post you saw about the sexual politics of Taylor Swift's Wood & the server comes up right as you're about to start & she invites him to join us for the conversation. Max was a good sport. Anyway, the board game cafe is always a hit

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand.

"Low head dam ahead."

get in losers we're repenting

Verbing nouns is acceptable (that's what gerunds are) but nouning verbs is not

My most boomer opinion is that we should stop turning words like "ask" and "spend" into nouns. Ugh. I know language changes, blah blah blah but sometimes those changes are stupid and sound ugly.
