THE HATE CRIME DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON

There's also these, which is some of the worst substance that has ever touched my tastebuds.



Oh gently caress. Goddamned Buzzballs. I got a story about these loving sad little cocktail grenades.

So my brother and I are in Vegas, as one does in your early-mid 20s and wasting your life away.

We wanderer into a loving pharmacy and saw these frathouse tennis balls sitting there, and thus, we formed a plan.

We each would individually walk into a liquor store and purchase one. Then we would go back to the hotel, and swap. Then we would chug them. Whoever finished theirs last would be forced to go buy a 2nd one and chug it.


So, we get back to the hotel. My brother reaches into his brown paper bag and pulled out the peach flavour and said "Bunny, you are my brother. I love you, I didn't want to hurt you, and I know it's very hard to gently caress up peach flavour"

So I reach into my bag and pulled out a peach one and went "Yeah....same" because I know that it is very very loving easy to gently caress up artificial peach flavour.

So, we crack them, and get the unmistakable scent of fuzzy peach gummies, marinated in urine. We take our sips, and my brother immediately started dry heaving. I say this not with pride, but the deepest shame upon my soul, I knocked mine back without a blink in my eye, and stood there watching my brother in agony, and forced him to finish it.

But the entire first like fifty images are not of my Riff Raff, they're of this guy!

Opendoor/Redfin allegedly circling the drain.

The video does cover the fact that, houses might not be getting that much cheaper yet near you (they certainly aren't near me) because it apparently takes a long time for the housing market to collapse.

Cool I'll be looking forward to maybe being able to afford a home in 4-5 years.

That is one of the frustrations is that I'm actually above median income for people who work at companies based where I live and still cannot afford a house, in part because the housing market is global now and not local. I'm definitely looking for remote positions in other states to compete but I wish I didn't have to do that.

Apple users can sign up on the Twitter site for $8, I think. It’s just $11 through the app. I have to imagine it’s similar for Google Play.

A journalist I follow’s Checkmark has been changed to “legacy checkmark, may or may not be notable.” So I guess that’s what you get for not paying the Musk tax.

Speaking of Musk’s management skillz…Tesla’s stock movement yesterday compared to other automakers. Ouch.

I recall Tesla's clearly absurdly overvalued compared to other car manufacturers. There's a lot of talk about the 'trust thermocline', the point where user trust and investment suddenly collapses at a seeming innocuous time as a result of years of built up frustration and dissatisfaction. I'm almost certain the same thing has happened with the stock market many, many times.

Yeah. Tesla doesn't just sell cars, they also sell the dream of those cars eventually being self driving. That dream shrivels if everyone realizes Musk is a goddamn moron.

You can just compare Tesla valuation versus car sales to Chevy or Toyota, and Tesla's value is like 100x higher for every car sold. It makes no sense by any objective measurement.

My friends and I decided since Massachusetts was banning the original run of 4loko, to pick up and try some. I took one sip and it was the most disgusting, syrupy beverage I ever had. I put it down and a swarm of yellow jackets enveloped it, like the heavens were blocking me from taking another sip.
