Hi, I’d like to apply for a mortgage. No, just a kid’s mortgage, thanks.

You’re right in that this is not how families should be. They should be people you care about and trust.

Your family does get a pass for being family; you maybe don’t share the same interests or lifestyle that would otherwise form a distance in childhood friends that eventually fizzles out, but with families this shouldn’t be the case.

But then sometimes your family members end up (or you discover) they are bad people. Yet even then you may stand with them as they sell drugs or rob people or even have killed people; they’re still family and what they’ve done can be understandable even if wrong.

Then there are Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, apologists, and supporters.

Families should stick together, but people also shouldn’t be Nazis. So here we are.

Imagine being so strung out you’re willing to trade sex for sex.

He calls them the “female species” because the can’t (won’t) successfully breed with his own.

You owe them a fucking apology

“Put him to death!” is an interesting take from the “violence is never the answer” team.

But you don’t understand, see, he didn’t consent to being taxed, therefore it’s theft.

Be kind to them, they were kidnapped and imprisoned for many years since birth. The earlier years involved many forms of humiliating torture.

I bet the security detail wouldn’t even get insurance coverage for being wounded in the line of duty as it’s obviously negligent to put yourself in harms way like that

Montana? Montana’s just, like, Montana, man.

One key factor is that it was made 30+ years ago.

Yeah, that’s the one. The one that makes a modicum of sense

Either A) New Years Day is a day of the week and your birthday changes every year (but in a vastly more predictable way; NYD will make next year’s dates one weekday ahead), or B) New Years Day is a completely separate day and all years are identical, and you choose your birthday to be celebrated on the closest agreeable weekend if that matters to you

There is a pretty fucking solid one:

13 months exactly 4 weeks long. 364 days. Two unique days: New Years Day and Leap Day. Just put them together.

Now every month is the same length. Every numbered day is the same day of the week in every month for the whole year.

“We won it last time! Why change now? Besides, proportion representation only leads to more parties and that’d mean we’d have to… cooperate.”

TIL

Or that we should agree on “throur”

Meanwhile, in France:

“What’s the roundish thing we eat a lot?”

“Apples?”

“No, the one that grows underground.”

“Dirt apples?”

That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.

They do it on purpose and it really does make sense. For everyone who supported the game they got the very best value of it. It sucks to pay full price only to have a sale pop up a few weeks or months later and you think “ah, I should have waited!” You buy the game, you support the devs, they keep working on the game, the game gets more, the price goes up for more game.

I wishlisted it when it was under $20. The price went up and up and didn’t go down. When I learned it was intentional and would never be cheaper, I bought it and eventually sunk 300 hours over loads of updates. Now the price tag is higher and I get to think “I’m glad I bought it when I did” and not “I should have waited”

The best time to buy Factorio was 8 years ago. The second best time is now.

I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)
