I feel like this is a joke that whooshed right over people's heads. It's a reference to how Trump tries to distance himself from people who were actually close to him, right?

This might not be completely true, but I was told by a former cop that technically anything obscuring the driver's view through the windshield is something they can use against you. Hanging air fresheners, bobble heads, a mounted dash cam... it's just one of those things that isn't usually enforced.

It would help explain Thor-Hulk vs Hulk-Thor:

That's why he's got a diaper on. Helps keep it in place and catches it if it slips out.

I mean, there is still kind of a point being made with respect to monetization of social media... something which is insanely controversial on Mastodon.

Bring up something more minor like showing ads to cover server costs and it's like tossing a grenade in and shutting the door.

I keep thinking how she's basically the IRL version of Firecracker from The Boys, especially with how they've been doubling down on how Homelander is Trump.

Hold a "So you just lost access to the employee discount" sale on the Microsoft store.

I'm not entirely sure you'd want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.

To be serious, though, I've seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.

The words of someone who has never tried Culver's, clearly.

The real secret to longevity is to have spotty health records and a difficult to verify birth certificate. Bonus points if you're in a country that has undergone multiple radical regime changes.

Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you've got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren't written by AI yet?

Plus a smug phone call from Trump asking Bibi not to accept the agreement because it might help the Democrats win the election.

There are a couple floating around out there, CNN/investopedia/Eat This Not That. The most scathing one I saw was from CNN, oddly enough: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/business/consumer-spending-travel-value-nightcap

The answer to why is simple, it's because of the nukes that Israel definitely does not have in their possession. Because if they have nukes, which they absolutely do not have, it would be pretty bad for everyone if the US were to just abandon them.

Are the Chechen counted as part of the Russian Military or separate?

For those who haven't seen the video being referenced:

I'm one. When he moved Tesla engineers to work on Twitter and then went on an unhinged anti-Trans rant in the middle of an earnings call, I shopped around and traded in my model 3. I always assumed the major selling point of a Tesla was the software, but he keeps fucking with the people who make it.

Way better than when Trump made people wait and they ended up in the hospital

Swarms of bugs make it a lot less enjoyable, at least for me. There's nothing like seeing someone's back entirely covered in mosquito bites just because it rained a couple days earlier. I've read it's only expected to get worse with the progression of climate change, especially when it comes to invasive species.

I guess there's DEET and permethrin, but I don't feel great about having to use those.
