My sibling is quite a bit younger than me. Mom came to pick me up from school and they were asleep in the car

A classmate of mine said “Imma peg that windshield with a rock to see if I can wake that kid up.” I was like “… What…?” And he repeated himself

I very clearly stated that was my sibling and if he woke them up I’d be fucking pissed. He didn’t go ahead with stated plans. Dude was a menace; I coincidentally had stayed home sick the day he called in a bomb threat. But at least I put him in his place once in his life

I get the protection even if they’re your adversary. At home I’d be constantly bothered and annoyed by them but don’t you even fucking dare say a single negative word about them or hell will rain on you

I take umbrage at this statement:

2020’s: Israel and the Jews

I hear what you’re saying and see the point you’re overall trying to make; but please rework it so you’re not lumping “The Jews” into the actions of Israel

There are many Jewish people against the actions of Israel and abhor the thought of exterminating anyone/anything

I do agree with your last statement. I had a gossamer support of Israel which has radically changed in recent years. I see the current actions of Israel as no different than their oppressors

Does your situation not allow a plugin ev? You don’t need to rely on a charging station. There’s a good video about people’s “range anxiety” and breaks down why home charging is adequate for nearly everyone

So they’d go the MAD route?

My sibling and their friend group have gotten into Japanese horse racing because of the game and now are following the irl horses’ careers

Doesn’t it?? It’s adorable and definitely conveys my feelings at times

Glad I could straighten out the confusion

Well. I am on Android. I’m using the Summit lemmy app

But the emoji is great and I love it

It’s this guy:

🫪 omg I didn’t realize that was an official emoji

Haha thanks for using it. I’ll be inflicting it upon everyone now

That’s awesome; I like the descriptor! They are made by boiling the dough briefly then baking

I might have to use that from now on. What’s your language if you wouldn’t mind sharing?

When pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime!

Thank you for writing that out. I never understood the beginning of that 2nd part and it’s plagued me for… decades really. So now I can sing that shit in full, and not fill in “pizza during crack time” because I knew that wasn’t right

Holy shit, someone who knows psychostick!! 🤘

Could you address the booping context?

Hey I’ll use this comment; I totally wondered if it was a reference to CBB but there wasn’t really a chance to ask without derailing

It’s close enough to the gag that I caught it. You did well

Are the two events related?

Damn really? I was just thinking about it the other day and thought they were all gone. By Macy’s, do you mean a standalone store? Or do they have a small section in a mall store?

There was also that one where he rhymed “things” with “things”

Time to have a rewatch

My partner showed me this a couple years ago. Now, we’ll be talking or I have a thought and the conclusion is “America” to which the follow-up is “want to put it on?”

It hits me harder each time I watch it especially how things have further eroded since then

Edit: I was curious and checked out the comments. They were surprisingly wholesome but I didn’t scroll too far. However one sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found something that made me do a double take:

The text from that image reads

THE TWO PLATFORMS

Every RADICAL in Congress VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Every RADICAL in the Pennsylvania Senate VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. STEVENS, FORNEY & CAMERON are for NEGRO SUFFRAGE; they are all Candidates for the UNITED STATES SENATE. NO RADICAL NEWSPAPER OPPOSES NEGRO SUFFRAGE GEARY said in a Speech, at Barrisburg, 11th of Angust, 1866-“THERE CAN BE NO POSSIBLE OBJECTION TO NEGRO SUFFRAGE”

It’s the writing style. If that is the type of material that one reads in their formative years it makes sense that it’s emerging again in the twilight years

Ps. I’m sorry I spent so much time on this it just struck me and I had to explore. Made me sick at some points. To be clear, I support everyone’s right to vote but the above quoted message was demonizing that sentiment. Also to be clear, Geary was a white man and won that election

I had the absolute fortune to make my way through there at the end of last year. It was so bizarre to me that for the most part people are left alone to follow the rules with no oversight

And for the most part I saw everyone behaving well and not doing anything stupid; except the group of people trying to take pictures of a bison who was clearly unhappy about how close they were getting. He was grazing and would walk away a couple steps and they would follow. The boi was swishing his tail and showing what I saw were “leave me the fuck alone” signs and I had to at least shout to the people to leave him alone and they were fucking idiots. I was HOPING that they got charged and had some sense knocked into them

My partner and I had had discussions previously about what we’d do if something like that was about to happen and the kiddo in the car. If it’s just us adults then we’ll stay and watch the carnage but we’ll take off if they’re with us

It’s the same sentiment with The Onion and Black Mirror. Having to take a step back because reality is too absurd
