I was going to search it, but apparently there is a g*mer called "Bazinga" who plays GTA, so the search results were hopelessly polluted. OH well.

Trump.

People already couldn't understand why he got the nomination. It was baffling. When he actually won the election over Light Of Our Life Hillary, they were shocked beyond belief. The worst possible thing had happened: they were wrong. When the post-mortems came out, it was unbearable. You mean we really did fuck over the working class? Ouch ouch ouch massive psychic damage (otherwise known as cognitive dissonance).

Now, they just want to be right about something. Anything! This will fit the bill. Covid was good, but now that the studies are finally coming out, it seems that they were in the wrong again. Cover it up and never talk about it again. With this Putin thing, they finally have a Snowball, an Emmanuel Goldstein, someone that they can get really performatively angry about in public. Someone to be the target of the Two Minutes Hate.

But even in the dystopia of Airstrip One, the Two Minutes Hate only lasted two minutes a day. On Twitter, it never ends. They can stay in that blessed state indefinitely. It's bliss.

Chinese Forums has a subforum where you can get your tattoo translated . Most of them are just poorly phrased or nonsensical, though. The Hanzis Matter guy had the really good ones. No idea where he found that gold mine.

Huh? It was Grand Theft Auto that came up with the term. The rarely-played GTA1 and GTA2.

LOL forgot about that one. That blog's been dead forever. It's still around though: http://hanzismatter.com/ People who got themselves tattooed in a language they don't understand.

Oh wait it's not around. The owner deleted the blog. That sucks. Looks like there's still a Flickr group but it's a pale shadow of the original. https://www.flickr.com/groups/hanzismatter/

The blog owner had such a wicked slice. How do people think getting permanent markings that they don't understand is a good idea? One lady got herself tattooed with "explosive diarrhea". Yes really.

That doesn't have any anime characters in it. That's Superman.

Link anyone?

Drinking milk is inexorably tied with white supremacism. The ability to digest lactose (milk sugar) is not present in most of the global population. It sure is in most whites, though. You've never seen them with milk cartons, sneering at everyone who passes by?

At that point, why even drink milk?

It's fucking expensive is what it is.

Plus almonds take a ton of water to make and are not sustainable agriculture. California could stop its water crisis overnight if it stopped growing them.

Not all people are the same.

One thing I've noticed in this big wide world is that some people really like their emotions. They just like feeling them all the time, and if they aren't feeling something, they feel lost and empty. Moreover they identify this lack of feeling as coming from others and view it as a personal attack. Like this gf.

There are other people who are more on an even keel. They like emotions too, but prefer thought. It doesn't mean they feel any less, it's just that they don't have to show it all the time. If they say "I love you," it's good for the week and they don't have to say it four times a day and burst through the door with a shower of kisses.

People are different.

George W. Bush, like his father, is from Connecticut.

When Adam West was still alive, he was listed in his local telephone book as "Batman".

I dunno, hicks did pretty well in Afghanistan.

Maybe the Mexican Army has better generals than the US. Not one of them lost their jobs over the disaster they presided over. Now they want a new war with Russia, a far more formidable foe.

It's all an act. He's the Trevor Noah of the right. None of them believe that stuff, they have far more in common with one another than any of us.

The Root is anti-racist, Jezebel is feminist, what gives?
