The only thing any online white person has to do to not completely show their rear end is stay quiet(in itself also a matter of privilege) but they just keep having to barge into the room screaming "WHAT ABOUT RESPECT!? ALL LIVES MATTER!" and outing themselves as the chuds they've always been.

People getting mad at rage against the machine for being 100% on brand with their particular flavor of politics will never stop being funny.

Rush flat out telling Rand Paul to stop using their songs was a great "you are what your heroes despise" moment.

my parents absolutely charged my mentally disabled brother rent, lmao

my parents do this because if they don't the state uses it as an excuse to gut the disability checks going to him as hard as they can. Like have him write checks and they give him receipts and everything because the state demands 'proof' he needs enough money to barely live off it he wasn't otherwise supported.

(they also just put the money into long term savings/investment for him to inherit, not boomer it up by buying limited edition trumpo coins)

Incredible that every dumb shitpost we make ends up being unironically believed by someone out there in the world

I thought the whole point was women are wildly misdiagnosed when it comes to autism because tons of the signs/behaviors seen in men are just written off as quirky, manic pixie dream girl personality traits and not a problem.

When they are labeled as autistic its then perceived as some fragile dove situation where they need a big strong man to chaperone them through life.

Like I said, this is about 2037. My napkin math, which is probably way off, comparing cargo ships to a modern naval vessel, would round out to about 4-5 days. Jam some satellites, blame it on Starlink debris, whatever the gently caress it takes to buy you as much time as possible. Which gets into the interesting question of a naval shooting war, it's been nearly a loving century since the last one, and the technology has rapidly shifted, but the reality of aircraft carriers being virtually defenseless tin cans still stands. The Chinese navy has 335 vessels as of today against the 296 vessels of the US Navy, and the Chinese would rapidly expand in force projection capability between now and a hypothetical 2037 scenario. Again, I think the best guess is sheer loving numbers, which is what any nonsensical Chinese Red Dawn scenario would have to consider.

Sea power is based on aircraft carrier fleets.

China has a single rust bucket of a aircraft carrier they can sail around the bay for a few hours before it has to be towed back and duct taped back to functional.

Their pilots get 1/50 of the flight time that US pilots get.

The US Navy and Airforce would literally be shooting fish in a barrel once the ships pass the point of any air power force projection from mainland China.

It'll just be like when Taiwan was just running over PLA troops with tanks after they ran out of ammunition because there was nothing the PLA could do to stop them.

I doubt that even 30% of Americans understand how progressive tax works, or what it’s for, or anything at all about taxes beyond that the government takes some of your money every year.

So yeah, like I said, taking the message to where they are by any means necessary.

That number is extremely generous for the amount of people who understand anything about taxes.

I had a coworker tell me his wife told him to stop working overtime before they got bumped into a higher tax bracket. She's an accountant.

people there's a reason why fanfiction websites invented quick and easy tags for things like fluff, angst, pining, found family, certain pairings, etc. so that people can easily find what they're looking for

Generally when 90% of the fanbase just wants to make sure they know who is loving who to what explicit degree in what they are reading tags are the most effective way to attract and retain your omega mpreg fanbase

I've shamefully purchased ~60 amiibos online but even then I would still be embarrassed to wait in line to get one much less during a pandemic.

What, new edition of Smash Bros character sold out? gently caress it, I'll pay an extra $10 to a reseller instead of driving to every gamestop in the tri state area trying to find it.

don’t buy collectibles

I have a dad with a ton of collectibles and somehow everyone who might pay what he thinks they’re worth also has those same collectibles and is trying to sell them to some other schmuck for the same price because that’s what these collectibles are worth, apparently. except anyone who wants them has them already and is trying to sell them for the same price??

if they make you happy to look at them then cool do it up but I’m going to berate the next person who tells me a dollar value of their Nintendo or Marvel characters like you could or would ever sell them.

or I guess I have friend who basically “scalps” NBA trading cards which is insane to me that he makes any money in the end, but I think he just likes Walmart scavenger hunts and basically breaks even in the end.

oh god yes.

I kinda went a little collector spree heavy for a bit and bought way too many, but I have the entire set of Zelda amiibos on display in a spice rack in my room and I love looking at it all the time. The others are tucked away in some boxes in my closet because while they are cool and fun I don't have a dedicated wall to nerd paraphernalia.

The people who keep/buy exclusively new in box have problems the entire point of a toy is to be able to physically handle it and move it around while making the whoosh noises.

also these
