@RickiTarr It's only gay to say hello to a lady, really.

I love how much contempt Vance has for Catholicism. You can tell he converted fore the aesthetic more than anything else. And who could blame him? It's a good aesthetic.

@FlashMobOfOne I don't understand how it would even be worth it without the commentary that goes along. That's almost as much of the show as the actual performance.

To each their own I guess.

@FlashMobOfOne There's something energizing about being in a crowd with a lot of fans. I went to a giant concert for a band I did not care about with my friend's wife since he couldn't attend, and I kind of understood it?

It felt weirdly powerful for a good 15 to 20 minutes before that dulled and went away. I imagine if you cared about the product it would last longer.

Cheaper and better to watch at home and get inebriated.

@hellomiakoda I'll go a step farther than that and suggest imagine how much better off we'd all be if we just banned lawns as we know them.

@FlashMobOfOne It's an annoying amount of work that really gets in my crop because I genuinely do not think it necessary at all.

Same old fight, 15 years into this relationship. She wants us to clean up the place more often, I want to clean up the place much less often.

I think it's finally dawning on her this isn't some sort of sexist bullshit either.

She cracked out a calendar and was like, let's take turns on something that's acceptable to both of us. The daily essentials, no problem, divided. And that is where the good times ended. Now is the fight.

@BeAware That feels like someone who can't taste or smell being asked to make judgments about food. To not play the game is different from playing the game well.

@tk Looks almost like an IUD.

The paramedic filming is heard on the video franticly reciting, over and over, the “shahada”, or a Muslim declaration of faith, which people recite when facing death. “There is no God but God, Muhammad is his messenger,” the paramedic is heard saying. He asks God for forgiveness and says he knows he is going to die.

“Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose – to help people,” he says. “Allahu akbar,” God is great, he says.

The most moral army in the world, most morally executing paramedics, and then most morally executing more paramedics, and then most morally executing firemen, and most morally burying them in a most moral mass grave, has most morally been caught lying about what happened, because of the cell phone video of the one of the most morally executed paramedics.

ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS

Anyone remember how hard it was to input codes in this game? I do not forget.

@FlashMobOfOne It's awful. There's this tube where they just dump all the food someone would normally eat for a week and be like, THIS IS YOUR BREAKFAST DO YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO LIVE YOU IDIOT.

Then some doctors will come out and shame everyone.

If you're looking for garbage tier, it's a beauty.

@FlashMobOfOne Okay, if you want trash TV, we can go trashier.

There's a UK show where they take a really fat person and a really skinny person and just swap their meals and things. Supersize vs Superskinny

@FlashMobOfOne You can do better than watching this yourself, Flash Mob of One. You have an internet with infinite content sitting right there, anything you could ever want.

Here, try https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ and you can watch Japan's public broadcaster in English. Surely there's something on... better for you and the world than Married at First Sight.

I blame the Democrats for being so lame that just enough people stayed at home and let what happened happen. Same thing in Canada, with Trudeau almost single-handedly giving our nightmare conservatives an insane majority.

The failure of our lesser evils is just as responsible for what happens as the success of greater evils.

Those lessers? They knew it and they didn't care.

The characteristics they use for deporting "gang members" feels awfully like the characteristics for drone strikes back in the Obama days.

God is the ultimate Shitpiece in it, if you think the Bible is true.

Up until this point, humans live for hundreds and hundreds of years on the regular. Except God gets pissed off and arbitrarily declares nobody gets to live past 120, eat shit and die hummies. And that's why you get to watch your parents and grandparents die so young. Imagine that? Thanks God.

For those who aren't in the know, there were bunches of Gnostic Christians who thought the God of the Old Testament was a different God from that of the New Testament, and also actually an Evil God.

I get that.

It makes more sense than how most people understand it these days. Ever read Noah's Ark? I know you know the story, but did you ever read the version that isn't sanitized for kids at Sunday School or a religious television show?

@GrimmReality A university that is upset students are angry at the way it materially profits from an ethnic cleansing? It probably doesn't care about those students and would let them die too gladly for milk money.
