Donโ€™t forget he called them fat too

As a kid we had a family friend who looked *just* like him. Enough like him that he occasionally had problems getting on airplanes (this was pre-9/11)

Realistically, a Mars colony will be a penal colony for at least the first few decades. Might as well send Elon there to live the dream.

Actual theology departments will also expect a much more rigorous analysis

Citing the Bible risks exposure to dangerous ideas like that part about โ€œin Christ there is no distinctionโ€ between the genders

Yeah the only part of that outfit Iโ€™d be worried about is the fur trim on the pants and jacket, but thatโ€™s just coca colaโ€™s fault that he has those

Yeah I think the idea is โ€œfire in the hearth is outโ€ is part of how he knows the whole family is asleep.

Now if you have a loose cover on something like a chimney, a bird can get stuck inside and die like happened to my dryer vent last year and my laundry room smelt like carrion for almost a month (donโ€™t tell the boys that part. Whale not swim :( )

Well tell them they build nests in chimneys *because* of the fire, the fire isnโ€™t hot enough to burn them at the other end of the chimney.

Is the name not chosen specifically for that allusion?

For that reason, Woke 2 will be much less alienating to potential allies. Woke 1 said: โ€œNone of you are without sin, you can be racist without even trying to be.โ€ Woke 2 will say: โ€œJoin us and be counted among the righteous who oppose the evil.โ€

You know what, I hate to say it but I think these guys might not be entirely on the up-and-up.

Yes, obviously.

But the point is that the second strike is so egregious it wouldโ€™ve been murder even against actual hostile military targets.

This is very much [citation needed] of courseโ€”maybe such assertive action wouldโ€™ve alienated the voters instead!

The assumption is that Biden couldโ€™ve prevented Trumpโ€™s election in 2024 by taking more assertive action by taking more assertive action in various contexts throughout his presidency.

The โ€œitโ€™s good that Bart did thatโ€ clause

โ€œThe executive Power shall be vested in the Speaker of the House of Representatives.โ€

I think honestly the key is that the presidential system of government is fundamentally rotten. โ€œThe offices of President of the United States and Vice President of the United States (and of Electors for those offices) are abolished.โ€

Very very excited for Bluesky as an institution to find out about Prรณspero

guilty is, if not actually โ€œlyingโ€, then fundamentally dishonest. And โ€œwe have strict rules against lying but the profession is just by its structure fundamentally dishonestโ€ is not exculpatory.

See this is why people hate lawyers.

โ€œLawyers are not allowed to lie.โ€ Thatโ€™s absolutely true, but itโ€™s only true for a specific technical narrow definition of โ€œlieโ€. I think most people consider arguing for clients with whom you personally disagree or defending clients you know or think are

Thatโ€™s the problem with the good old timey insults is they have too much history and baggage.

29.11.2025 13:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Itโ€™s not but I do sometimes use it as an old-timey way of saying โ€œstupidโ€

29.11.2025 13:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah Iโ€™ve got to say, the rod of correction wouldโ€™ve been helpful in my case.

Where are we at these days about calling someone โ€œsimpleโ€?

Honestly it took me a while to give it up. But thatโ€™s the thing, if even Iโ€™ve changed my ways and find it abhorrent nowโ€ฆ

In the photo everyone is talking about thereโ€™s a guy whoโ€™s apparently just yielded the sidewalk to it.

None of this bullshit like in 2019 when we had hearings with useless dopes like Jerry Nadler talking to โ€œscholarsโ€ trying to get permission to impeach Trump. Just impeach him every day first thing in the morning. You can do it while the chaplain does the prayer.
