Project 2025 is a modern Mein Kampf, so idk if “I’m gonna make my own Mein Kampf! With blackjack! And hookers!” Is the correct response to the Nazi shit we’re dealing with now.

Make a plan for sure, but Jesus fucking Christ, guys: branding!

I don’t know how current this is anymore - this has been floating around the internet for at least a couple years, and I have no idea if it’s being updated, but here’s a list of surgeons who will actually respect a woman’s decision to receive a tubal ligation or hysterectomy:

Women who are ‘of childbareing age’ get a TON of pushback from the medical field for wanting to do this, even in the midst of conditions like endometriosis (chronic severe pain in/from the uterus) or even cancer (can fucking kill you).

Word of advice though: DO NOT get a tubal if the idea that it’s reversible is a determining factor. They can try to reverse it (reanastomosis), but there’s no guarantee it will be successful. Get it only if you’re okay with it being 100% permanent. Same goes to any testicle owners considering a vasectomy.

I cast… NON-magic missile!

…I mean… one guy tried, but he’s dead now. The rest of us are either bitching into the void, or actively loving all the evil shit coming from this administration.

So, my money’s on we’ll just continue to bend over and take it.

Creating God - Avenged Sevenfold

…I think it’s actually about AI, but this is about as theistic as it gets on my personal playlist.

Shockingly prophetic for something from 2016 - as far as our usage goes, it nailed it.

Hadn’t considered this until just now, but the vast majority of surgical instruments are steel - especially German steel. I’m not involved in purchasing, but I wonder if / how much this is impacting the OR’s bottom line in US hospitals.

The Pokemon games on all of Nintendo’s handheld consoles emulate really cleanly on a smartphone.

I’m a sucker for the Gen 1 nostalgia every now and then.

Best way to play this these days? I have a disk from the early 2000s, but iirc the last time I tried to use it, it just prompted an update that led to a blizzard launcher… idr if it wanted me to buy a new digital copy or what, but I ultimately decided it was more work than it’s worth and gave up.

…these days I don’t think I even have a CD drive lol.

Private servers with boosted rates can scratch that itch while severely reducing the grind. Every couple years I’ll poke my head into one, level to endgame in like a week, do some raids, do some PVP, then completely forget it exists. Couple years later, rinse and repeat.

Like… a red state? We don’t deserve him.

Everything with a laugh track. If your production has to lean on some peer pressure cue to trick my brain into thinking it’s funny, it’s not funny.

Laugh tracks are to comedy, as jump scares are to horror. From a psychological standpoint, it kinda works to get the desired response, but it’s the lowest hanging fruit, and isn’t necessary if the material isn’t empty and half-assed in the first place.

This is 100% an unpopular opinion that in no way is meant to shit on the TON of people who love it, but…

Game of Thrones. I love medieval dark fantasy and some well written political intrigue. I’ve been told by so many people how much I would love GoT. The ingredients are all there.

But then I try to watch it, and get bored every time. Not really sure why - seems like a guaranteed hit… but the hook just never sinks in.

But we already have RL ad blockers.

Iirc the legal term is “vandalism”. The stakes are higher, but the perk is that one user can block an ad for every user, so think of it as a community effort.

If you liked Skyrim, check out Enderal - it’s a total conversion mod, but in Steam as it’s own game. It’s much more linear than Skyrim - the world still feels open, but it’s much more dense, and it’s scaled more like a traditional RPG, so if you wander off the intended path too far, you’ll get your ass beat by mobs that are much higher level than you.

Side quests are meh, with a notable exception of the Rhalata line, which is kind of like a combo of thieves guild and dark brotherhood. Main quest line is fucking wild.

If you skip the vast majority of side quests, you might have an issue with scaling, since you’ll be missing out on all that xp. If you run into that and don’t want to do the quests, just use the command console to cheat some in.

Trump deserves a grave

Graves are to honor the dead. Trump deserves to have his corpse cast into the reservoir of the nearest outhouse and left to rot with the rest of the sewage.

Meh. This is up there with him saying “fuck”. I don’t really care if he knows a date off the top of his head - it’s a non-issue.

I’m far more concerned about him shitting on the Constitution, turning the military and federal law enforcement on US citizens, metaphorically raping the economy, literally raping women, and his long list of actual crimes he’s committed against the US.

He unleashes an actually-impactful scandal on daily basis: let’s not get distracted by petty shit.

I have to be in an unusually confrontational mood to pull shit like this, but three or four times now when I’ve been bombarded by sales floor hawks, I motioned my hand at them like a Jedi mind trick and said “Adblock.” mid-sentence in their pitch.

No eye contact, never stopped walking. So far it’s got a 100% success rate in stopping the pitch instantly.

Look for local LGBT+ friendly gun ranges. Some of them offer classes geared specifically to that audience (probably the same material as any other course, just without the usual ‘gun nut’ crowd).

…speaking of, I need to follow up with the one in my area - I’ve been trying get some hours in as a volunteer, but they never replied to my email. Thanks for the reminder!!

Bombs and bullets do be the cure for Nazism.

Even if it passes, this administration and its brown shirts don’t give a flying fuck about the law. They’ll ignore it, it won’t be enforced, Dems will write more angry letters, rinse and repeat.
