This is so fucking embarrassing. This is one of the most embarrassing business quips I have ever seen in my entire vile career.
coat bath
tag yourselves i'm the GREAT ROOM beside the GOURMET KITCHEN
i remade it in the sims 4
you guys are so fucking stupidddd omg "rapists and pedophiles should be chemically castrated, this is a good thing" quick tell me about historical precedents of this idea and who or what ideology they are connected to......... 🤔
and the thing is you can't argue with these idiots bc they always ""shut down"" every argument with "ummm so you support rapists and pedophiles" like wow guys great job convincing me you're not a reactionary who will cheer fascists as long as they use the right words. i'm sure you actually arrived to this conclusion based on actual reasoning and not revenge fantasies.
IN CASE you don't know why this is bad and would like to bc you aren't a stupid reactionary weirdo:
rape and child molestation have historically been the accusation leveled against any group the group in power doesn't like, exactly because it's a heinous accusation that makes people lose their critical thinking abilities
this includes: gay people being painted as child molesters, black men lynched for allegedly molesting white women, and many more examples.
it is crucial that people will twist the meaning of words to fit the situation. if a black man looks too long at a white woman it is flirting, which is basically the same as molestation. a gay person existing near a child is a sex crime against children, because being gay is inherently sexual. and so on.
when conservatives say "protect the children", this is a dogwhistle. they are counting on you to lose your critical thinking because sex crimes, especially those against children are so heinous.
it is also crucial that these laws NEVER come from an actual intent to protect children/women. the real intent is always, ALWAYS weaponizing it against marginalized groups.
why? because once you have a created a group you can act in inhumane ways towards with full support from the populace (in this case, pedophiles and rapists), it is now in the state's vested interest to classify its opponents as part of that group.
7. note how the people advocating for harsher laws/sentences against pedophiles keep being outed as actual child abusers.
if the laws and sentences actually worked to stop child abuse, rather than being a smokescreen, they wouldn't advocate for them. if these people thought for one moment that they would be chemically castrated, they wouldn't support it. it's always about the imagined harm others might do, to distract from the real harm they're doing.
also the most famous victim of chemical castration? alan turing. you know, the gay guy, whose crime was being gay, not hurting kids
When I am elected president I will institute a law saying that anyone with a net worth over 50 million must, at their own expense, employ a Jester. They must feed, clothe, and house the Jester according to the Jesters wishes, may not fire the Jester, and may not retaliate against the Jester, as the Jester will have Jesters Privileges.
One must spend at least three hours per day on the company of your Jester, and allow the Jester access to your quarterly reports.
The Jesters will be chosen by voluntary lottery. Jesters will be regularly interviewed to make sure they have not become Lackeys.
This law will prevent rich folk from being surrounded with vapid yes-men. A lot of problems with the world right now are happening becuse rich and powerful men don’t have anybody on hand to say “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”
currently obsessed with british murder mystery tv shows where all the murders happen in the same town in every episode and everyone's just like oh yep there goes another one, just another day in shirefordtonstead
This is where the people who colonized Cabot Cove came from.
The absolutely essential aspect of these stories is complete, unbroken, total genre-blindness of all characters. If they, even momentarily, realize that their small town actually has a shockingly high murder rate, the effect is ruined. In an urban crime show like Law&Order or whatever, the cops can go to anybody on the street and say "We're investigating the murder of Jackknife Bob" and the witness is just like, "He got whacked? Oh well, I didn't do it." But in a Small Town Murder, it is absolutely imperative that everyone the detectives talk to is shocked that such a thing could happen! "Dear me, a murder? Right here in Shirefordtonstead? Good heavens!" Ma'am, it is season seven. You are the fifth proprietress of this quaint antique shop. The first three were murdered, and the fourth was the killer. In the normal, rational world, living among this high a murder rate would have a profound, dare I say traumatizing, effect on your worldview and your perception of your own safety. But you are not of the normal, rational world. Your unshakable and clearly counterfactual belief in the safety and stability in your surroundings is built into your character. And for this I love you. Never, ever change, Tiny Quaint Friendly Villages Full of Constant Murder.
How come semi trucks in Europe look like “toot toot :)” and in North America they look like “HONK HOOOOOOOONK >:|”
“Henlo I am big twuck pwease give me wots of woom tank u :)”
“I WILL FUCKING PANCAKE YOUR CUCK ASS”
@trainwreckgenerator why did you hide these in the tags
This suggests that Maximum Overdrive was Jurassic Park for motor vehicles.
I’m sorry, but that is misleading as hell. American and European trucks are bred for different purposes.
American trucks are bred for long hauls on largely straight roads. They can go for hours without a break. A European truck needs more breaks and a lighter load, and they would indeed take great internal damage if they tried to keep up with the Longsnout.
The European Shortsnout is not bred for looks, but for agility! They navigate the windy roads of Europe in a way that would be way too risky for the powerful, but more clumsy American truck. It is true that the European overheats faster at high speeds, that is the very reason that breaks every 4,5 hours are mandatory for both the truck and the handler and a day of driving can never be longer then 9 hours.
So, all in all, appreciate all of our trucks and our shared history, and be the responsible owner that gets the right breed for the right job.
To be fair, the US does have shortnose trucks as well, they’re just a breed kept mainly for very local work where, like the above says, they are working in places with lots of turns, shorter drives, and plenty of stops. I see them used for garbage pickup a lot, where a longnosed Mack wouldn’t be able to fit much less maneuver, and the short nose prevents them from getting rubs (raw skin or even open sores) on their snouts.
I would also like to point out that the tags have got it backwards. The wild trucks (which I’m pretty sure are extinct in the wild now) that all modern breeds stemmed from were shortnose trucks. We had known about automobiles and domesticated several species, but the truck species was not discovered until close to the start of the 1900’s, in Germany, which I BELIEVE was the first country to breed them in captivity, although England was the first country to really start using them for work. I managed to find a photo of taxidermied specimen
As you can see, it resembles both long and short nosed breeds, as well as the far more common house truck used by individuals instead of for commercial work.
As to the aggression, while the mack longnose LOOKS aggressive, they’re generally gentle giants (although please do give them space on the road! not seeing you in their blind spot is NOT the same as aggression!), it is actually the smaller house truck that is often trained by their handler to be aggressive: the keyword being TRAINED, they are also not naturally aggressive. The only time I have seen a mack be commonly aggressive is when they are pulling 2 gravel trailers, and I would be cranky if I was being overworked, too. If you see them hauling that kind of load, just give them space, and you’ll be fine.
I feel like somebody should add something about the Australian variants.
From my understanding of Australian wildlife:
Does anyone know if/how American School Busses are related to trucks?
Pics for reference:
The classic long-nose schoolbus
But short-nose varieties exist, I remember when they first started appearing in my district!
@dreorzen While school buses ARE in the automobile order, they are actually part of the Van family, not the Truck family, due to their passenger capacity. As you can see in the photos, they have no cargo bed or hookup, and are not really built for object transport. But they DO excel at carrying passengers, particularly children (although certainly not limited to just children)
They’re known to be exceptionally protective of any passengers, and if you look closely on that second image you can actually see a specialized appendage that is (I think) unique to school buses- a small, red, octagonal fan, which they extend when there are small creatures around them that they are acquiring or releasing. Much like an angler fish’s bioluminescent bulb appendage, this fan (along with several bioluminescent patches on top of their faces and on their hindquarters) works to mesmerize any other vehicles in close proximity, to where those vehicles will cease movement until the bus lowers the fan. It’s super fascinating behavior, and little wonder why we trust our children to these gentle, protective giants.
Don’t forget about the bus trucks.
While these vehicles can sometimes be bred by accident (after all, who hasn’t accidentally left the gate open when your school bus is in season), they are usually bred for specific purposes.
These hybrids are bred for both their cargo capacity and their gentle temperments. Especially in a farm setting, there’s a need for many different kinds of vehicles, some of which sometimes don’t get along. Having a vehicle with both the strength and capacity of a large work truck with the amiable nature of a school bus can be a real benefit.
It’s a little unfortunate that these hybrids tend to be sterile, though, since it would be easier if they’d breed true. Also, something to keep in mind… bus trucks are bred from a bus.
Truck buses are bred from a truck and… tend to not be quite as useful as bus trucks, although some people do like keeping truck buses for companionship and as show vehicles.
This website sucks I love it

just be yourself and don’t care about what other people think! Why would you care about what other people think about you?
(DISCLAIMER: what other people think about you will determine every aspect of your support network, your ability to get housing and employment, the quality of your medical care, how you are treated by the legal system, and how likely people will be to sic the police on you for violating social norms.)
hey, listen, I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think this one is capitalism’s fault. I really don’t think capitalism is responsible for the general concept of social ostracism. We can’t just use capitalism to mean “bad thing-ism” we gotta remember that some words mean things
Rep Neguse talking to the press the way Democrats should talk to the feckless media. He handled that question spectacularly.
Reporters out here acting like extensions of the maga cult w/ questions like this and “will trump run in 2028?” Like y’all don’t have to do fascist’s work for them. In fact, you’re specifically NOT supposed to.
Oh. So you can just like. Tell them to stop, huh. If you're president. You can just ask I guess. A phone call away I guess.
We really do need to bring back the word "trolling" and warning ppl not to feed the trolls
That TikTok of ppl pouring tomato sauce directly on the counter, adding spaghetti & mixing it with their hands while commenting how great of an idea it is? Yeah, we used to call that trolling, it's pathetic & bc all they want from it is attention, the best thing is not to give them any. Block & move on.
I keep seeing it on here too. Someone comments something outrageous on a post & gets dozens of ppl to respond, filling the entire comment section & making it unusable. And on Instagram, a comment saying "I hate colors" on a post of someone showing off colorful art gets 100 replies while positive comments get none. Congrats, you've fed the troll. Now stop doing it.
Trolling used to get you banned from forums. Now they call you an influencer and give you brand deals & ad revenue. That's why it's more important than ever not to feed the trolls, especially in spaces where any attention is good attention and getting yelled at by 10k ppl in the comments counts as "engagement", boosting your troll post in the algorithm.

this is... not entirely false, actually
If a ceasefire holds, you boycott Israel HARDER, you divest, you push for sanctions. You don't perform for apartheid. You don't whitewash genocide. You don't pretend like Israel isn't still a violent occupier stealing land and collectively punishing Palestinians daily
Anti-piracy ad from 2004
It's even funnier when you find out that they had to stop using this ad because they were using music they didn't have the rights to
apparently the font was pirated too. inadvertently, like it was an illegal knockoff of a licensed font and they didn't realize it, but still rules. house of cards
this ad was how i found out piracy was a thing you could do. lifechanging, really
real talk i have become a problem recently. the hospital wanted my fingerprint and i said no. the receptionist was like: but its such a convenient way to check in! and i said ok i dont want you to have my biometric data. and she was so baffled. i said, can you not check me in using an id card?
well of course but dont you want to provide your biometric data for your convenience?
nope thanks!
fuck this happened again i was buying some LPs and the clerk was like: can i have your email? and i was like no.
she full on stared at me. she was like: but i need to put you into the system.
and i was like: need to? you NEED to? i don't want to give my email
and she was like: but...how are you going to return items without an account?
and i was like, with a fucking receipt??? wtf is going on right now. if i can't return them i guess i'll die??whatever
I don't even care how much I'll potentially save joining their rewards program. I didn't even give my local grocery store I shop at every week my information. That money is the price of that small amount of extra privacy.
called my bank recently and the automated line tried to force me to set up voice biometric before I could access any of my account info or contact customer service. no "press 5 to set it up later" option or anything like that. just an alarming "Did you know? Your voice is as unique as your fingerprint! blah blah to help your account security, say 'I'm a fucking idiot!' after the tone!" (obviously not accurate past the second sentence there)
I was so shocked that I literally did not say anything. Just flabbergasted. Sitting there silently trying to figure out how else I could check my account balance, since I don't have the app on my phone (security risk!) and the bank stopped support for texting to find the balance.
The robot lady came back and said "Sorry, we didn't catch that!" and repeated the instructions on what legally binding statement to say after the beep. I decided to just not say anything again. Luckily after my repeated obstinate silence it suddenly said "Main menu!" and allowed me to choose from the normal banking functions. Again, no indications that I could opt out at any point up to this. Only got that far because I stubbornly refused to talk.
So they're holding our own money hostage unless we give them our biometric data. I'm gonna switch banks, but it wouldn't surprise me if every bank rolls this out in the next few years.
