And I thought my life was hard with size 14’s.

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

– The Gospel According to Matthew Liberal Talking Points

Don’t worry. We’re working overtime on it.

“Are you using the app today?”

“No.”

Hold a government program underwater until the bubbles stop. Whine pathetically to anyone who will listen that it’s “broken” and should therefore be dismantled rather than fixed.

That’s completely inline with the Republican MO. I would expect them to push it as far as possible this time. Hope the the MAGA folks are ready to take it in the ass with the rest of us since that’s what they signed us all up for.

Ah, the old General Motors strategy. “We made poor business decisions for the last 30 years and were completely blindsided when it bit us in the ass.”

No, no. I believe what he said was “Muslin Ban”.

Velveeta: Bringing Washington style gridlock to your colon.

When the oligarchs start fighting each other instead of just the plebes. Internal power struggles are often major contributors to the collapse of an empire.

Really going to suck for them when a big chunk of the properties backing their mortgage loans get repeatedly wiped out due to climate change related natural disasters and ultimately become uninsurable.

Eventually, climate change is going to hit real estate lending in certain areas really hard.

Yeah well, 64 years ago Eisenhower warned about the dangers of the military-industrial complex and we’ve all seen how that warning got completely ignored.

🎶You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company store.🎶

I bet you’re right. That’s one promise that I’m sure he would like to have forgotten as quickly as possible.

My wife and I always get a kick out of it when sports commentators say things that are just stupidly obvious. I think the best one so far was “if you want to win you gotta win.”

I think that was Joe Buck during a Jets game but I’m not positive.

I remember when Emma Watson turned 18, and there were websites that counted down to it. Same for Lindsay Lohan. It was so creepy, and also weirdly presented as ‘normal dude behavior’ back in the aughts. I’m glad that’s no longer acceptable. It always gave me the ick.

I’m with you there. Anyone who looks at a person and thinks “I can’t wait until they’re 18 and legally fuckable” needs to go spend some time seriously re-examining their life choices.

Younglings, if you’re reading this, rest assured, you look great, and I’m just an old twisted weirdo with specific tastes.

This is great btw. There are some awesome things that come with getting older. Maybe not hair loss or joint pain. Or the decline of your metabolism that happens in your early 20’s when you’ve finished growing.

You’re gonna lose the “cool” factor. You will. It’s inevitable. But you won’t care. I’m 35. I like myself now. I don’t give a shit what other people think of me and 99.9% of the time they’re not thinking about me at all. My 30’s have been my favorite decade so far. I would have thought you were crazy if you told 16 year old me that was gonna happen.

The man is literally a walking national security threat who has no problem blabbing state secrets for free because in his mind, it’s a way of showing how important he is.

I know a few couples like that. I also have a 16 year old daughter with plenty of 16(ish) year old friends. For the life of me, I cannot fathom what a 30+ year old man could see in a 16/17 year old girl, other than maybe being easily manipulated. That may be enough. Cause it’s definitely not their personal hygiene, conversation abilities, or depth of experience in any given area.

At some point I need to migrate off Hyper-V. Probably to Proxmox.

Ugh. I don’t wanna.

You would think being THE place that’s known almost exclusively as a career stepping stone in tech would set off some alarm bells in the c-suite. Then again, narcissists and sociopaths aren’t exactly introspective. It’s probably just easier to keep pretending that everyone else is the problem.
