how quickly and readily i feel a surge of hope watching someone see the light and accept the chance to live. i hope this man reawakens his humanity once properly fed and clothed and rested.

Oh wow. i missed the moment the Million Mark was surpassed.

…

of all the madness happening in the world, I’m so desperate for a silver lining that I caught myself thinking “well… maybe iran’s supply lines of materiel to russia might experience some disruption”

I don’t actually believe there were any literal golden toilets, but rather that the term was a hyperbolic description of pork barrel spending. It’s basically a meme from last century.

This article casually mentions it https://www.chicagotribune.com/1992/08/30/everyone-knows-about-the-pentagons-gold-toilet/

but sadly it’s paywalled… here’s another though

–look at that date! that article is almost as old as ME!

If they made Elliott Roger a meme (for being a pathetic ineffectual piece of shit) this can be a meme.

Fucking REAL honestly!!! Any adult on that service is FESTOONED in Red Flags.

I stay the fuck away from it specifically because of all the pedophiles on there. Whole place gives me the ick big-time.

If I had excessive amounts of wealth, I’d seriously consider buying the entire thing just to immediately shut it down, except I know the predators will just find some other way to stalk their prey.

Shit, maybe it needs to be a Honeypot. If it IS one, it’s still not scraping enough scum, and its very business practice is inherently predatory too even WITHOUT the rampant child sexual molestation; it siphons labor out of children too.

not to mention how much of a profitable racket the democrat machine has built on losing elections.

Ever seen “The Producers”?
“It’s possible to make more money with a flop than a hit!”
(if you flop, nobody cares where the money went)
Well, with the democrats,
It’s possible to make more money with a loss than a win.
Because when their campaigns fail, all the money that was raised disappears into the wind.

Gone to “consultancy contracts”, “speaking fees”, “ad spending”, and probably a few other golden toilet seats.

edit: it occurs to me that the term ‘golden toilet seats’ might not be as ubiquitous as i once thought.

So, it was kind of a meme in the '80s, '90s, and '00s that there were budgetary line items especially in military spending that made no sense whatsoever, like “toilet seats” that allegedly cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

They were labeled as innocuous things toward which it was hoped no scrutiny would be drawn based on their description…
but no actual toilet components or accessories were actually involved.
It was a fraudulent book-cooking tactic to obfuscate what those funds were really being spent on.

Similarly, the United States Agency for International Development did do some legitimate work helping people, but SOME OF ITS PROJECTS were given green-washed and rainbow-washed code names, such as:
“HIV/AIDS awareness campaign on foreign university campuses”
where the work had nothing to do with actual disease awareness
and was actually recruiting students and radicalizing them toward anti-government sentiments
as a destabilization tactic.

(basically miniature CIA shit)

USAID also directly funded various news outlets around the world and “through the implication” influenced what kind of coverage they published.

It’s ironic that musk’s absolute dipshittery may have accidentally damaged the united states’ soft power imperialism. like, he might’ve actually done the world a net favor by total accident, with the unfortunate side-effect of some rather conspicuous tragedy and hardship in the form of people who were being legitimately helped no longer receiving that help, for instance in food supplies and vaccines…

i always felt weird about it. for me it never quite rose to levels of ‘the ick’ but i can totally understand how it might trip past the threshold for others.

Fell for it again award for tulsi

no lies detected.

just … staring at the place we’ve arrived at with naked disgust, is all.

good guys with guns to stop bad guys with guns.

Rice is especially great because it’s one of those dry goods that i can keep for basically indefinite quantities of time.

Well, there certainly are “”““people””“” (Nationalist Christians, aka Nat-Cs) who think I am skilled and experienced at eating babies, so… I guess???

I only buy packages, containers, or cartons that will sit within my nutritional budget to eat all of in a single sitting. One, maybe two of those = one meal. Especially those wonderful single-course entrees I can buy at ALDI for like six bucks a pop. That’s actually a day’s worth of food. Especially because I tend to eat one meal a day (when i am behaving).

Costco rotisserie chickens rock my fucking world too. Those things can be more than one meal!

I will also buy packages of “salad mix”–mixed greens with a few other veggies in it,
and then I’ll add a nice dash of salt, and either a splash of apple cider vinegar or a liberal dusting of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, then shake it all up and just GO TO TOWN on the whole container.

The only perishables I buy are things of this sort that I will most certainly eat RIGHT AWAY.

Everything else is either
a: canned goods where i’ll use the whole can at once adding to one of the above items
or,
b: non-perishable usually dry goods with which i can augment other things with pinches and dashes at a time (there are some things like vinegar or certain hot sauces that age and develop more flavor over time).

… china is looking better and better all the time :\

here in the 'states, people always reflexively bark “but you can criticize the government here without being thrown in jail or executed” and yet that statement is becoming shakier and shakier by the DAY. The US government has detained and attempted to disappear legal residents for criticizing the regime, and It’s starting to look terrifyingly possible that they’ll soon do that to full-fledged CITIZENS TOO.

Man. We are fucking cooked.

it’s a shame that when scum fights scum there are so many innocent civilians who will suffer. there are no good guys in this. A little bully with rich parents picked a fight with a big bully and everything that can come out of this will suck.
