  • can journalism please stop digging deep into the cambridge to pull out words like ‘wheedles?’

    i’ve been on this earth for almost 50 years, and i’ve read thousands of texts and never seen that word fucking ever.

    you should NOT have to look in the dictionary to read pop culture drivel. these dipshits are just trying to justify their privileged educations, and the ironic thing is that none of them can write for shit despite needing a private school/ivy league pedigree to churn out vacuous thinkpieces for teen vogue and futurism (whatever the hell that is).





  • the memory of china spans 3k years. think about that. we dwell hard and long about the history of america and that only goes back a few hundred. and that was a time full of witch hunts, slavery and other controversial topics that’d make a great movie but come off as embarrassing in reality.

    we came up with the television and the atom bomb–i say big deal. the chinese were there through thousands of years of advancements and follies, enduring and enduring and keeping their national strength through the unbearable weight of millennia. this is when americans can’t go without their smartphone for 60 seconds and believe in nothing other than legal tender.

    industrial capitalism is 200 years old, the chinese are as old as mars in comparison. put that in your pipe and smoke it.


  • why is this a controversy though?

    this type of bullshit is common across the repair industry but we expect computer techs to be scrupulous? the entire business model likely depends on scamming people.

    with cars there’s at least an excuse to put up with it in most cases. it can be labor intensive and require real tools to replace a component like an alternator on many models. even a bold and confident novice is going to feel anxiety when a bolt won’t come off and think to themselves ‘this isn’t worth dealing with.’

    but if you can’t figure out how to ‘wipe windows’ or replace a ram stick with the power of the internet at your disposal you deserve to be scammed. do you have a philips head from dollar general, a usb stick and did you play with legos as a child? then you can do 100% of computer repair work.

    on top of that, the entire IT methodology is to run a few basic windows commands in the console like ‘sfc /scannow’ and then reinstall windows if it doesn’t work.

    men pay attention to women they get roasted; men ignore women and they get roasted.

    it’s almost like there’s a battle of the sexes going on that’s tipped one way because nobody dares speak out on the men’s side because they’ll get labeled an incel or ‘part of the problem.’

    neither of those women are worth paying attention to.



  • costs that much to do nothing lol.

    the clips i saw from those hearings are embarrassing and sum up everything wrong with our milquetoast government.

    if this guy deserves to be in the position he’s in then ask him to name at least 10 valid reasons that the iran ‘war’ is more important than feeding poverty stricken american children. i put war in parenthesis since iran is incapable of fighting back since we’re 6k miles away.

    as a bonus question ask him how long it’d take to drive a ford mustang that distance @ full throttle when considering an unlimited tank of gas. should be a cakewalk for someone in that position of power.




  • i’ve never been terrified of anything, except a fox. i watched that episode of x-files that featured the chupacabra and then encountered a fox out in the wild–you can imagine this loss of suburban innocence if you think hard about it and use your imagination. now, a typical fox looks nothing like a mexican goatsucker (maybe if it was bulked up with cans of goya black beans and had bigger teeth) but it put the scare into me because i had only encountered the occasional groundhog and stray cat at night; back then you didn’t see too many bums around.

    one of those stray cats used to come around a lot and i named it ‘sugar’ because it was stark white and that song fly was on the radio a lot, the one by that band sugar ray. and after it hung around for awhile (i would leave out bush’s baked beans in a tupperware container because i felt bad) it became part of the family. i renamed it ‘yeti’ because i thought sugar was too homoerotic but that’s for another post.
