Encouraging Looting of Our Nation by Moronic and Unethical State Kleptocracy

Americans when ~20k people are murdered each year (most of which don’t take place on public transit): “The subway is unsafe because there’s too much crime.”

Americans when ~40k people die in car accidents each year: “This is literally the pinnacle of freedom! I feel so safe inside my personal tank!”

If I had a nickel for every prominent Republican who did something cartoonishly evil relating to pet dogs, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

So his argument is basically “it’s not bribing people for votes because I never intended to actually pay the bribes”? And it worked?

The cherry on top is that the judge who made the ruling is actually a Democrat.

If this keeps up we might get a Part 3 to this meme.

I’m pretty sure some of the newer ChatGPT-like products (the consumer-facing interface, not the raw LLM) do in fact do this. They try to detect certain types of inputs (i.e. math problems or requesting the current weather) and convert it to an API request to some other service and return the result instead of a LLM output. Frankly it comes across to me as an attempt to make the “AI” seem smarter than it really is by covering up its weaknesses.

I refuse to believe anyone actually likes this. Nobody could possibly fall for this abomination just because the houses technically meet the bare minimum for being a waterfront property, right?

R-right?

Getting revenge after his mother wasted all of their savings on the Trump NFTs.

Robots with small and intricate parts, especially those working in dirty environments, famously never need cleaning or maintenance.

I’m reminded of the Henry Cuellar situation, where the Democratic leadership decided to support the anti-abortion blue dog who was also taking bribes from Azerbaijan (so basically the original Eric Adams) against a primary challenge from a progressive candidate, and he ultimately won the primary by less than 300 votes. And they wonder why nobody believes them when they say they’re “the most progressive presidency since FDR”.

And he says he “wouldn’t even think about” buying again from luxury brands like “Burberry or Louis Vuitton”.

You live in the country that probably manufactured them in the first place. You can buy a knock-off which is just as good for a fraction of the cost.

I thought the one on the right was Pence and I was confused because I thought he had fallen out of favor (until I realized that it was RFK).

According to the Oklahoma State Department of Education website, the teacher who assigned the paper was Erich Richter, a football coach at SHS who has his emergency certification in English that expired on June 30, 2024.

Prior to teaching, Richter ran for Tulsa County sheriff but was disqualified due to embezzling funds from Taco Bueno, according to The Frontier.

Beyond parody

There was an article a while back about hospitals run by Catholic organizations that would ban doctors from offering services that violate religious rules (i.e. abortion and contraception), even if the doctors do not personally hold those beliefs. While it’s probably not the case with all Catholic-coded hospitals, it’s still something to be aware of. They may also pressure non-Catholic hospitals into accepting these rules as they formed mergers with them, so it’s a potential issue even for hospitals that don’t seem like it.

I have never heard of a muslim, hindu or buddhist hospital in “the west” though these of course exist elsewhere.

Jewish hospitals in the US were founded in large part because many other hospitals would refuse to employ Jewish doctors or treat Jewish patients in the past. I would imagine that there aren’t hospitals specifically for other religions in the US because they are an even smaller minority and there hasn’t been an explicit need to the same extent.

Extremely critical support to the engineers who made US warships touchscreen-controlled.

Conservatives: “Western values are under attack!”

Also conservatives: “NOOOOO how dare you celebrate one of the foundational events of Western liberalism!!!”
