Because blue LEDs are a MIRACLE, dammit!

Honest question: how bad do things have to get in the US for citizens to qualify for refugee status?

I can’t say for sure why. When I got married she just wanted to take one of my names (I have two last names). I’m not famous or anything, so it doesn’t carry any clout. Maybe she wanted a fancy sounding hyphenated name too, because she added one of mine to her current one.

I dunno, I worked with a Gen Z aged dude that thought blowing his life savings on a down payment for a new Camaro was a sound investment because it was going to be the last ICE Camaro ever made.

I wanted to go into the points that a new car depreciates the second it leaves the lot, the cost of upkeep between now and the years it would take for the car to POSSIBLY gain value, but I knew they wouldn’t listen.

Last time I spoke with him before he was fired he was trying to decide whether it was a better idea to ship his collection of Pokemon cards to California to get professionally graded or to take the trip himself.

Dude definitely took risks. He definitely had some NFTs in his portfolio.

It seems like the generation may be more willing to take risks when safe at home behind a screen.

Won’t anyone think of the gun owners that have social anxiety that can’t bear to look the guy at the gun shop in the eye and don’t have the time to wait for an online order because IVE GOT TO DO IT TONIGHT IF I DON’T DO IT TONIGHT ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

If my parents had bought a car I thought was cool back in the 90s it would have been Sgt. Slaughters Warthog from GI Joe or a Dodge Viper.

My theory is that they will institute a tax on old products so that buying new items is the same or cheaper than buying new.

I knew Grimace wasn’t too be trusted.

‘McDonald’s has the biggest fries, the best fries. I helped them put the fries in the box, yes, me. McDonald’s has been with me every step of the way, even when all the wrong lesbians were being mean to me… Like, comment and vote if you want to see more of this wholesome Christian content… Elon here… Elon brought his own ketchup… It has bananas in it… I don’t know about that… Bananas in the ketchup… But he knows what he’s doing… And I trust his banana ketchup… I’m not going to eat it… The banana ketchup… But I trust him and his cars.’

This whole campaign seems to want to make having cheap fast food on private jets a thing. Maybe they think this humanizes them to Joe Blue-collar? Maybe one of them has terrible taste and the others just want to ironically be part of the club?

I don’t care what kind of reptilian lizard wizard is in charge of the galley on that plane, there’s no way you are breathing life back into McDs after schlepping that all the way from the frier to the tarmac.

When Jabba Stops breathing-

Thanks and fixed.

They just traced over the map of Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Ooh, or a really gnarly exploitation film about the hours of horrible treatment Leia goes through when she is captured and leads up to a final scene where she gets to strangle her abuser.

When Jabba stops breathing, so does the film.

I’m thinking along the lines of ‘Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern are Dead’ where we see only the action, or lack thereof from the point of view of minor supporting characters.

Picture a film that is two hours of R2 and C3P0 wandering the deserts of tattooine before being captured, then the film ends before any action happens.

If I don’t get a Star Wars side project that is actually ‘written’ from the point of view of a lovable but flawed Astro mech/ communication droid duo, I’ll do it myself, by jingo!

: realizes that this has probably happened dozens of times in both mass market paperback and slash fiction, but I’m just too scared of what I’ll unearth if I look it up:

‘An assassin from the cilantro haters guild creeps up’

Believe it or not? Straight in the trash.

Unexpected Homestarrunner.

I think must of us are missing the fact that the second to last panel his ‘smile’ is a grimace because he has severed the afflicted hand.

I’ll let you discuss what is meant by this.
