Those words embody like half of the atrocities mankind has committed. Something or someone can be both silly and horrifying. Like pol pot or trump

He never said that, stop lying on the internet. He lives rent free in your head. Those women probably attacked his tender, tiny digits with their powerful genitals for street cred. (Darvo)

Well, the world certainly understands that the US holds a grudge. But Castro is dead. Feels a bit silly at this point

Yeah, moreover, they’ve always taken more land after every major offensive of the last hundred years. Who hasn’t seen it coming?

Reposting my aphid hate

Having imported ladybugs into a greenhouse for the express purpose of exterminating aphids, I can tell you with certainty that they’re kinda dumb. A leaf completely coated with aphids will see 4 plucked and obliterated by mandibles, and 50 ignored, only to search for more distant prey. The buffet is right there, why are you searching for scraps beneath it?

But there’s nothing quite like seeing the little shits disappear into an organic shredder, clawing desperately, fruitlessly at survival. I fucking despise aphids.

English Wikipedia has been down all day. Very, very rarely do I take anything for granted, and yet, I felt a pit in my stomach when I saw a blank page. It’s funny to realize just how much of a fixture in my life Wikipedia has been.

Folks in Puerto Rico when they’re admitted as a state: “he tells it like it is.”

Well, I didn’t mean to be taken literally. Netanyahu understands espionage and murder and is supreme executor of all affairs. Expecting anything else from his Israel is just silly. Frankly, I just want to know whether Iran will make the next decade a nightmare for me with their response. That one is up in the air.

I mean… it’s Netanyahu at the reins. To be honest, I’m not even sure whether he likes Israelis or dislikes Palestinians, he might just be a violence enthusiast bringing his hobby to work with him

“Alright, Israel has been a thorn in our side for too long! Launch the missiles!”

“Yes sir! Where shall we strike?”

“The outskirts of their cities in unpopulated, barren land. They need to know to fear us.”

“But sir, what if this merely causes them to accept that we are only a potential threat through our missiles and, given the absence of damage from our previous attack, they feel emboldened and destroy our manufacturing sites, silos, and launch pads.”

“Impossible. Strike their wastelands.”

Who could have seen this coming?

Edit: am I really the only one that saw this coming? Didn’t realize Hellen Keller had so many accounts.

On the one hand, I think this is a joke. On the other, I really hope this is someone’s actual living quandary

The cruel age of the onion dip will sear agony upon not just our souls, but our eyes and nostrils.

Lemmy’s false positive rate on right wingers and their rhetoric is high but, as far as goal oriented ostracization goes, it’s fairly reasonable. I understand very well where it comes from. My friend has an extra kid on the way. Neither she nor her husband want the kid, but they’ve been turned away by several out of state doctors. (No, not Christian “medical” offices, actual doctors)

Congrats, republicans. You managed to funnel another kid into the foster system you also refuse to fund. Jfc

When in that state, it’s immensely difficult to understand what exactly is going wrong, let alone fix it. I still remember being an awkward idiot kid confused about my isolation, flailing at shadows and endlessly making a nuisance of myself by reveling in the discomfort my presence bred. Misery one way glass. Hope anon finds someone to pass him notes.

This is BREAKING NEWS if I’ve ever seen it.

Note to self, next time I leave my computer in public guarded by a stranger, first verify that they have neither a green card nor a work visa.

Damn, and I just ran out of cow bell

Never had a real Vietnamese curry, just imitations of Thai curries from Vietnamese shops. My friend’s family promised to make it for me but it’s been 20 years and I think he might be dead or on a meth-fueled tour of every truck stop bathroom on the east coast. Anyway, how’s it compare?

anathema to this community but relevant

“Mrs Krinkle, why is Mrs Cigarette out?”

“There was an unfortunate accident in her class involving hydrochloric acid, so she was sent home for the week.”

“…But doesn’t she teach band?”
