They don’t believe that the party is innocent at all. They know that awful shit is happening, but they chose to lie to themselves, and others, because the Republicans deliver something that they value more than their self respect, or respect of others. For most, it is permission to hate. There’s someone, or some group that they hate so much that they are fine with whatever is “actually happening” as long as they can hate, and their hate is rightous and justified. With enough little lies like “both sides are doing it, so what are you going to do?” stacked on top of each other, then they can disassociate the awfulness from themselves and their party, and shift their disgust for what is being done to the other party.
You just have to realize that the strength of their hate for the Democrats is actually how much they hate then and their own party. So, knowing how much mental effort and emotion goes into lieing to themselves and everyone else, you now have some idea of how truly awful their little secret is.

That definitely influenced me. I think that technically makes you an influencer too.

Don’t worry, they are out there.

Unfortunately, they are highly allergic to pineapple… but they are out there.

If the bus went 600 miles an hour and every one on board might die because a duck decided to take flight at the wrong time? Then ya I think there would be some serious celebration every time the bus stopped.

I… I don’t think I’d be able to ever look someone in the eye again if I saw them eating any fruit like that.
And then I noticed your user name and realized that you are probably that bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so direct eye contact is probably not a good idea anyways…

Just make sure you don’t do anything that might cause severe and permanent damage like spritzing a little water on it.

I started there, but I eventually got to the heart of it now and just say I’m an asshole.

Personally, I’m holding out for the Tesla minivan.

If you wear a red vest and hang around outside a bar people will often just give you their cars, sometimes they might even be really insistent about it or even give you gas money.

The constant bouncing would definitely be a lot more exercise than sitting.

I read this as pornography, and was like I can believe that, this is the type of thing super rich bastards do. But then I googled it and realized that I got it wrong.

I think he’s gay, and these women are hired to be his beards. Part of the deal for them is that they get exposure, and also a chance to rub elbows with the Hollywood elite. All of which would be a lot more enticing to someone just starting out in life and their career.

Why you gotta judge?

Holy sweet baby Jesus! You need to put a trigger warning on your post. The traumatic memories that you brought to the surface are enough to send me back to therapy all over again.

Seriously. Much much worse.

First you had to pay a fortune for a device, with which you may or may not get very limited map updates. Then after that you had to pay quite a bit to update. Even then it could take a year for permanent road changes to make it to the map updates, and temporary changes were never shown. Road construction, wrecks, and temporary closures were your problem. And God forbid your route took you through a closed area because there was no way to route around it. You had to find a place to park so you could look over the tiny little map to figure out your own way around the blockage, or else you could pick a direction and then yolo your route until you were far enough away from the problem area that the gps would finally choose a route that didn’t go through the problem area.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For instance, all the above assumes that it accepted the address you were going to as a valid address. There was nothing like the joy of typing in an address and having the device tell you that it doesn’t exist.

Oh look, such a clever post complaining about a shitty pessimistic new years joke in a post about how shitty the previous year was, in a sub for mediocre comics. How could I ever have been so pessimistic about the new year?

I like how optimistic you kids are these days… I mean, it’s adorable that you think 2025 could possibly be better than 2024.

Very few were funny or creative. If anything they were heavily trending away from anything funny or creative towards loud and obnoxious. They knew everyone got up to go to the bathroom or kitchen and wanted to make sure that you still heard and recognized their ad. Then with the advent of tivo type recording, they did their best to make the first and last 15 seconds as abusive as possible, that way they could force their advertising into your brain before you had a chance to grab the remote and skip it, or during that little bit of commercial you had to watch just before the show returned.
While I will admit that there were some absolutely amazing commercials, like the Trunk Monkey, those were not only incredibly rare, but also being rapidly abandoned. I think modern commercials may actually be better overall than those of the past. Just look at what Ryan Reynolds is doing. I loath commercials, but I am also subscribed to his YouTube channel and regularly watch his “videos” because they’re amusing.

The spectrum part is the key idea here. You can be fat while not being as fat as others. The existence of the people on 600lb life doesn’t make you skinny or athletic. The existence of older people than me doesn’t make me not old. Wether or not there exists someone older than me doesn’t change how much I want you to stay the fuck off my lawn.
