I don’t have any strong feelings about Teams. It just is what it is. It’s a chat app for work, like it’s just there to spy on me and keep me in contact with co-workers. It’s whatever. Of all the things I think about in the day, Teams is not one of them.

X will likely merge with TruthSocial as the defacto Conservative/Right-wing social media site (named something dumb like “XTruthXSocialX”), while BlueSky will become the defacto Liberal social media site.

I mean, tens of thousands (sometimes hundreds of thousands) of people are deported from the country every year already, whether Democrat or Republican presidents are in office, deportations (or “repatriations”) actually went up since 2020 when Biden took office. They’ve been on their way down though back to “normal” pre-Covid levels, but it’s hard to say what would happen under Trump. From 2016 to 2020 they actually fell to a low of 27k for at least a little bit.

Part of me thinks that this proposal will end up the same as his “Wall” that Mexico was going to pay for. Either incompetence or apathy will make this part of his proposal quietly go away. There will be some token deportations of illegals that were going to be deported anyways, but they’ll make a bigger deal about it, then it’ll just sort of slink away and somehow not be as big of a problem as it was made out to be for the past year or so.

Or we go full-scale with the concentration camps. It’s kind of a toss-up at this point. The only thing working in our favor is Trump’s general incompetence and chaotic headspace, he’s his own biggest enemy sometimes.

I’ve read through the book and even into some of the sequel books, but for some reason have only watched the first movie (Part One). I thought it was good, it generally follows the books pretty well, there wasn’t a point where I was like, “Wait a minute!” other than I have had Stellan Skarsgård as Liet-Kynes in my head for awhile now, so him being Baron Harkonnen is kind of weird for me. It’s not 100% book accurate, but it was good enough for me. For some reason, even though I have it on hand and I enjoyed part one, I haven’t had a burning desire to watch Part Two yet. Partly it’s just not having alot of time to watch movies in general, but for some reason I’m hesitating to get into Part Two.

One thing that the movies miss from the books, which seems like it would be hard to pull off, is that NOBODY in Dune just has a normal conversation with each other. Literally everytime there is dialogue in the book, at least one of the characters is psycho-analyzing every word for some sort of ulterior motive, or some hidden meaning within a meaning or something, it’s actually kind of annoying and I’m glad they didn’t attempt to work that into the movie.

That’s perfect, that’s where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they’ll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.

Homeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?

Ok, ok, you talked me into it.

Grew up in CT doing trick or treating and I’ve never even heard of that tradition before, that sounds like alot of work for everyone involved. Even after I came to OH, the idea of calling it “Beggar’s night” still seems wrong.

You kind of hum it as you’re sucking, bro says it actually makes the sensation feel better.

Occasionally I block users that are extremely bad for one reason or another. Honestly though, I have to block far more communities than users, and it’s mostly because of foreign languages. I have nothing against these communities, but if I can’t read any of their posts, they’re just noise. I’ve tried tinkering around with language settings, but for whatever reason I still seem to see at least one new one a week, and so I block it to clean up my feed. It just seems like something that should be easy, I’m a dumb American who only wants to see English communities, how hard is it to filter by language, or is this just a problem with my mobile client (Voyager)?

Sucking my best friend’s dick. I’m sorry, but if my friend is having a bad day, giving him a bro-job is not gay.

“Caillou” is what we would call out our kids for being whiny. We used him as an example of how not to act and would call our kids “Caillou” when they started getting out line. Surprisingly effective.

Just got over that portion of being sick, but it’s evolved into a persistent cough now that’s hurting my abdomen I’m coughing so much. At one point I had to have two “stations” set up, a hot station for cooling down and cold station for warming back up. I would just bounce back and forth between the two as my temperature swung around wildly.

I also like to think of it as my Fappy Funtime Playroom

Just not using turn signals in general and lack of road etiquette is enough for me to judge people pretty verbally in my car, though nobody else ever hears it, so I guess it counts as a secret. You’re driving a machine that can kill people out of negligence, the least you can fucking do is show some common courtesy and signal what you’re intending to do with it and what direction you’re going to move. People have more common courtesy when they’re walking on the street and no danger to others, yet they moment they’re behind a wheel and much more dangerous, it’s like they have nothing but middle fingers for everybody else around them.

If I want to watch sex in a movie, I’ll watch a porno in my basement sex dungeon. If I want to watch something with family and friends without that weird awkward moment when SEX starts happening, I’ll watch a movie without a pointless sex scene in it.

So will house prices go down?

Can’t wait to be able to pee on that grave. It’ll be like a pilgrimage.

Didn’t Hitler not even listen to his generals? Isn’t that even a knock against the idea of going back in time to assassinate Hitler, specifically because of how bad he was mucking up the war effort? If someone were to go back and kill Hitler, that could actually change the direction of the war in that somebody more competent might’ve directed the war effort better than Hitler. So in a weird way, Hitler might be the least worst possible option.
