It definitely fits the title of this thread.

It’s like that book junior kids read “Holes”

Florida man says he had sex with stolen pool toys instead of raping women

Frownland 06-18-2019 10:24 PM

He drugged them.

Yes and they're deeply concerned about inflation.

DwnWthVwls 06-19-2019 08:13 PM

No they arent, you are. Pool toys float when deflated.

Welp then I guess it's fine if we stop regulating all the predatory **** that's aimed at kids. It's not gambling! It's "Surprise Mechanics!"

Infraction for John Bolton: Baiting

The Batlord 06-20-2019 01:10 PM

So how much do you think this whole thing is Trump and how much is Bolton? Iran's his pet enemy after all but then Trump loves selling stuff to the Saudis.

Trump's still got a long way to go if he wants to match or top his predecessor when it comes to arms sales to the Saudis, though.

BabylonBee - Biden: 'Republicans May Have Standards, But We Have Double Standards'

Lucem Ferre 06-20-2019 02:24 PM

And you wonder why people think you're conservative.

grindy 06-20-2019 02:29 PM

Yeah, we need more people telling us how much Trump sucks.
Why can't he just do that?

OccultHawk 06-20-2019 02:37 PM

In the 70s Iran wanted to blend western culture in with their own. The people wanted a more secular or heavily reformed take on Islam. Western tourists could drink and smoke hash and dance with Iranian women in discos. And a lot of Iranians still want a friendly relationship with the west and even America in particular. They’ve given us every culture signal that they want to be friends. Iran should be the core of a new relaxed Islam but America has made it next to impossible for them not to become radicalized. I’m not saying that there hasn’t always been dangerous powers in play in Iran but I am saying if we weren’t such dicks ourselves this whole thing could’ve gone in a different trajectory.

There’s still time. It’s doubtful but we could still bring an olive branch to Iran. If we do attack them and start a war it’s important that we have huge demonstrations so they know it’s not all of us

This is so disappointing

I don't remember saying that at all.

You people really need to quit jumping to conclusions.

Trump's more dip**** with unintended consequences than full on warmonger. He did some touches and taps, but Bolton straight up put his dick in the frog.

Nobody should love Joe Biden.

It's mostly because your favorite satire site is a conservative one. Less to do with the Biden article.

The Onion used to be my favorite (and they're pretty left leaning) but Babylon Bee do amazing headlines.

It's okay to be a republican, you don't have to fake it.

Isn't The Onion satire?

I hope somebody comes back and stands it up straight.

Frownland 06-20-2019 09:15 PM

I hear that the leaning tower of Pisa leans right.

The Hard Times is clearly the best satire btw.

He's invaded less countries than Clinton so far.

The Batlord 06-21-2019 12:42 PM

I mean Bill. Kosovo. I guess Kosovo is the new Forgotten War for America. It actually went well and didn't result in a quagmire and it was reacting to a very real genocide so the world didn't remember it as yet another imperialist chess move. I honestly don't even know if it was an imperialist chess move. I guess the 90s was the time when the US became "the world police" because we didn't stay in Iraq, Somalia seemed like a legit humanitarian conflict, and so did Kosovo. And with what happened after 9/11 to overshadow the 90s conflicts I don't think many people have publicly analyzed those conflicts to figure out how they were imperialist. I mean I clearly remember Kosovo and yet I remember nothing about it beyond the news coverage at the time so I can't even comment on what might have been going on behind the scenes, unlike so much of what happened in the 2000's.

OccultHawk 06-21-2019 02:19 PM

We got scared off in Somalia and watched the Yugoslavian **** on TV.

Fake Streams Could Be Costing Artists $300 Million a Year

Quote:

In streaming, there’s a finite pot of revenue. If any of that that goes to an illegitimate source due to streaming manipulation, that’s a problem for members of the independent community.
That's a cute way to describe passing on the costs of a flawed system onto the people it couldn't survive without.

Can you say that another way because I don’t get it. I also can’t read the article because Rolling Stone runs so many ****ing scripts it won’t load.

Instead of tracking down and eliminating streaming fraud (despite signing empty pledges to do just that), Spotify is paying everyone less across the board.
