Brave Little Hitachi Wand

The professor became a genuine internet tough guy while dudes like this talk shit

Fuck me, real life supervillains are such goobers. I hate it

Morton: “Please don’t look, I promise I don’t live like this!”

Where’s safe?

Not surprising that the refund check doesn’t reduce driving in practise. If memory serves - you can’t reward a behaviour into extinction, just like you can’t punish a new behaviour into existence.

At least, that’s if you credit what they teach in applied behaviour analysis courses. I don’t get to use my degree much, except at times like this.

That’s the way you do it, if it must be done at all. And despite my antipathy towards cars, it seems it must.

Yeah it’s not funny anymore. The time for jokes is really long gone

I don’t know what comment you meant to reply to, but I was pretty specifically talking about attacking people for what they do.

I just wish there was a clean way to diss them for weaponising their self-hatred. If you think of a really pithy insult for people who externalise their negative feelings, please share with the rest of us, it’s badly needed.

Last weekend my kid saw snow in a cartoon and he shouted “NO! IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS!”

I guess I’ll keep him.

They want “personal responsibility”, but definitely it isn’t murder to kill someone with a car. It can’t be murder if I was so happy and comfy and distracted the whole time I was violently ending a human life!

There are lots of words for it. Criminal negligence, manslaughter, homicidal apathy…

What does this guy think real leftists do - not try to promote their agenda?

What is this conversation? Seattle has trees. It has really good parks. Is this treemogging? It’s obnoxious.

Incredible.

I can’t think of a single person I wouldn’t have to explain the joke to.

Perhaps you think I meant south of Lake Union. Understandable mistake. In north Seattle you can’t sneeze without getting a tree wet. I spent most of my time in those parts.

The left Democrats and the right.

Or as my daffy kid calls it, “choglet”. Future Nobel contender, there.

Yeah? Sounds like that’s where people on the right side are needed, then.

Portland is a great city. I’ve been living in the UK for almost 4 years now and I’ve never been to a bookshop as good as Powell’s, and the food there is at least twice as good as it ought to be, for what they charge.

Gag me with a spoon. Sorry you had to handle that. You’re right though, it’s far worse everywhere.
