I'll be dead long before I call it that. Or "gulf of america"

If posting memes and commenting on memes isn't therapy then I'm in some trouble....

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default "0000000" password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they're incompatible with the internet.

It's disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.

North Korea really hates the ocean.

What did the ocean ever do to north Korea?

The misfits in question: you wanna take on "The Man" but your mom says you have to be back inside by 5:30 so you can go get a pair of JNCO jeans at the mall.

Look, you have been made illegal to exist as a person in public, so you can either die quietly like a good little slave or we will be forced to execute you in the street.

Oh, you don't agree with that and are fighting back? VIOLENCE! WHY DOES THE LEFT ALWAYS TURN TO VIOLENCE!

Checkmate, libs.

It's less that we "send each other videos we know the other doesn't like" and more "when we're relaxing and watching videos, we will show each other a funny video or two but eventually neither of us really cares about the videos as much as the other but neither of us dislikes them enough to stop it because it's not about the videos it's about spending time with each other"

Last year most of the fields around me turned to slop as it was too wet for many weeks, and most fields couldn't get equipment through the mud

As someone who has access to about 3kw of solar panels, and wants to cut down on my electricity bill, where did you manage to get batteries so cheap? I've been burned on 18650s from supposedly reliable retailers before...

I've been managing to drag some of them further left, I think, through conversation about things.

A few are 100% on board with a union as long as I keep calling it "collective bargaining" and don't use the scary U word.

A few are on board with most social safety nets, especially when they find out Healthcare would cost less than it currently costs them in taxes alone, let alone not having to pay for insurance anymore, but the second you call it socialism or use any sort of word like "welfare" then they panic.

Individually I think I'm breaking some of them, but collectively they're fucking idiots.

There's a pretty simple test, IMO

Ask a person "is bombing a school filled with children okay as long as the end goal brings about the end of the world?"

If they answer "yes" then just immediately drop them into a meat grinder and use the remains for fertilizer.

Maybe it's my cynical side, but I genuinely don't think people like that can be fixed, so while it might be considered "cruel" it's better to just put them out of everyone's (including their own) misery, a "nuthouse" just gives them a place to congregate and keep trying to spread their hate.
