This pu'er is like ink, but tastes way smoother and less better than the color would make you expect. Thanks to @mandelaefectype!

Never going to let another woman call me ableist again then. If you can kill cripples before they're born then I can at least make fun of them.

AI is a psyop by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to raise the prices of buying or building a gaming PC so that you'll be more willing to buy their next consoles.

No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter. Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.

I was helping finish my parents' basement with @mandelaefectype and his grandpa the day GB joined Twitter live on air. He wasn't that funny usually, but him trying to explain to a listener that his first tweet was about Phish and not fish was great.
Yeah I was like 13 so take it with a grain of salt but you wouldn’t believe how funny this guy’s radio show was in the early 2000s. Depresses me.

Catholics are loving this (and it is great), but as a Reds fan, I can't help but note that the Reds ended up winning in extra innings and the Reds pitcher on the mound when they closed it out is named...PagÑn. I think I have to go to Confession for being happy about that. 🀣

The cool thing about IBS is I would have zero idea if I had this or not.
Growing concern over a parasitic stomach illness as nearly 7,000 confirmed and probable cases of cyclosporiasis have been reported across 34 states.

The vast majority of catholics in this country are completely unaware of that, which I think proves my point about doing the same thing

The Latin Mass formed countless saints for more than a thousand years, but some guy in the 21st century blames it for his personal vices, so it’s obviously a problem!

It made me bitter and arrogant. It made me think I had the more ancient, therefore holier, therefore better way to practice my faith. I would make jokes about the β€œNovus Ordo” and speculate about the day the church might even do away with vernacular liturgy, considering it a failed experiment. I found a lot of security in the (very flawed) idea that β€œCatholicism is an ancient, unchanging faith. This is the most ancient, unchanging way to live it out.”

Adding "deranged" to my bio.
Sadly, yes. Deranged liberal takes: Portland & Berkeley IPs Deranged right-wing takes: Ohio IPs

The ongoing H1B visa scam is a betrayal of the American educational system - and particularly of young American men. Filling tech jobs with foreign workers at cut-rate prices is a form of indentured servitude that denies our kids the jobs they trained for. Its insanely corrosive.

An HR person at my work described the flag politely as "basically a Hallmark card."
I love European protestors, they’ll do the coolest daredevil stunt you’ll ever see and then when the world is watching their message is like β€œit’s Mother Earth, not Father Earth. Be present in the now!”

Bobby Prince, the legendary composer behind the music of Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Rise of the Triad, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake, has sadly passed away. His work helped define an era of PC gaming.
