@[email protected] … your squid signal has been shone into the fediverse skyline

The dark side of going to the beach

Wait until he opens his mouth and starts talking

ahhhhh … I really don’t care any more … I’m nice and respectful and open to everyone … I accept everyone no matter race, gender, identity, nationality, background, religion (or non religion) and I do my best to respect everyone for who they are … beyond that, if people give me a hard time to be around them just to give me a hard time or show authority or try to be above me or control me - I really don’t want to be around you.

… or marketing, plain old marketing, advertising and public relations.

You can blast the airwaves with the same message over and over again eventually people just believe it … either because they are lazy, don’t care, it doesn’t immediately matter to them or they just don’t want to be bothered learning the details. It’s the same process of convincing people to either like Coke or Pepsi.

Goebbels and the Nazi party easily mastered it in the 30s … tell a lie, repeat it often enough and eventually it will be come true … if you tell a lie, tell a big lie, the biggest lie you can make and everyone will believe it.

It all boils down to money and marketing … whoever dumps the money into one party, politician, political movement will get the votes eventually and convince everyone of whatever reality they want them to believe.

I have one or two hot wheels shaped wounds somewhere on my skull from when my brothers tossed these things at me in a fight … and I returned the favor as well.

That’s hilarious because I was the same. I was never able to afford the latest computers, laptops or electronics… so I spent a lot of time maxing out every device, learning to download software, massive (10 MB) updates on a dialup connection, learning to use cracked software, then graduating to Linux and open source software … I’ve tried the freezing hard drives to rescue them but never tried baking my mainboard!

Hot wheels from the 70s and 80s were deadly weapons … you stepped on one it was like stepping on a roller skate, you broke one it turned into knife and if you threw one, you could cause a concussion. Even just opening up one of those damned things when you were kid usually meant you severely cut yourself (I know from experience).

How about farm workers … I’m up in Canada and I know because I’ve seen entire farm communities in southern Ontario base their entire business on immigrant labor that was either legal, illegal and everything in between. Around Norfolk (a region southwest of Toronto), entire towns are filled with Mexican, Haitian, Dominican and more recently, African workers as labor for the planting, management and harvest.

We all have cheap vegetables in North America because of cheap immigrant labor that our governments allow into the country to work (for little to no money) but not to stay.

I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out if this was just an Onion headline … only to realize it is indeed an Onion headline … this is beautiful

. . and a few of us get impregnated, violently give birth to new monsters that live off of us hosts and leave us for dead.

I think the relevant question is whether the aliens will fuck us … and whether or not it will be any good.

Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together.

Is this the origin story of Johnny Bravo and why he ended up with sunglasses.

Is this a history meme for the Irish rebellion of 1916?

Alright Dr Wells, here’s a boyscout knife, let’s see you try that operation again on Martha

You forgot the part where we just kept mashing in the gun, over and over again, into the hole even as it poked through the wall and aimed the barrel at our forehead.
