Just Another Goober

@SCShipyards Friend of the family back when I was living in IL was completely blind, and subscribed to the Braille version of PB. He would occasionally joke that he really DID read it for the articles.

The meta-joke is that Playboy used to have decent articles.

@alexjmingolla On further thought I shouldn't have used "leftist", as it's too broad for this post. Mea culpa.

@alexjmingolla Leftists since forever:

“American stadiums are horrible, they shouldn’t host” “Ok the stadiums are nice but they won’t fill” “The stadiums filled but the games will suck” “The games are exciting but American cities are terrible” “American cities are only fun because they’re rich”

@ZeeCaptainRon @LeanHugeGraves I don't know about the latest gen. IMO they took an American classic and made it a euro sports car with some Corvette trim. I don't have a beef with euro sports cars in general, but they're not Corvettes no matter how you dress them up.

@LeanHugeGraves The 70s-80s were horrible cars The last couple generations? Outstanding.

From the time I was a kid I always wanted a corvette Never did buy one to fix up. Never even driven one. Lame.

@SeriousVanko @ShamashAran @LeanHugeGraves Yeah, the latest version isn't my cup of tea, either. They took an American icon and turned it into a euro sports car with some Corvette stylings. I've no beef with euro sports cars in general, but they're not Corvettes no matter how you dress them up.

@ShamashAran @LeanHugeGraves I just can't force myself to like the new mid engine cars. Looks like every other sports car out there.

@alexjmingolla @wayfaring1_ Besides, it's an unwritten law of the internet that a meme must contain a typo or grammar error.

@wayfaring1_ Was boutta say we should start spelling this meme right but then I remembered we’re America we can spell however we want

@cdrsalamander They did similarly with those carrying the pre-revolution Iranian flag, I believe. Never followed soccer so FIFA wasn't on my personal radar, but the more I hear about it the more I laugh at the hand wringing about the US being a host country.

Why was this allowed to take place inside America's borders? There is a person who ordered this action by the police. That person needs to be named. If I hear, "I was just following orders...", I will pop a circuit breaker.

@ShamashAran Not that I disagree with the article, but the Leviticus cannon line almost made me do a spit take. Soda is NOT an approved nasal irrigation method. 😛

@17951b9804a0485 @BenAksar @CynicalPublius

@BenAksar @CynicalPublius She would have balanced the Budget and got us out of war... Unlike TRUMP's diaster that has killed jobs, spiked the Debt and got us into WaR

In an alternate timeline, Barack Obama never tried to insult Donald Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondent's Dinner, and as a result Al Franken is currently President, gasoline costs $17 a gallon, COVID never happened, all Americans are legally required to wear rainbow stars on their chest during the month of June, Elon Musk is in prison, Marc Elias is a Supreme Court Justice and Russia owns Alaska. Thank you, Barack Obama.

And now it's working again like it should... just before I have to hit the sack for work tomorrow. 🤬

I just love it when X works well... /s For some reason the "Following" tag now only shows the "Welcome to X!" thing, but the "For you" tab works as it's supposed to. I tried logging out and clearing the cache, but no change.

And after posting that it kept refreshing to try to reload the page until I switched from "Following" to "For you". 🤬

@Oilfield_Rando And it wasn't even the US that was the issue. It was a paperwork fuckup in Mexico for the charter flight the team was using. Paperwork fixed, and they're in the US now. Yeah, I know, leftist shitbags lying. When has that ever happened?🤔

Racist? Uruguay is Whiter than most American states

@JayVillainy47 But not enough shitbags fry. From over a kilomile away I kinda understand the reasoning behind the law, but I absolutely think that life imprisonment without parole or execution should be on the table for crap like this.

@GooberJust I didn't realize so much time had passed since this happened already. Time fucking flies

I am genuinely baffled, and I pride myself on seeing both sides of an issue. Obviously I skew conservative, but I always listen and try to keep an open mind. I forced myself to watch the George Floyd video, and it was horrific. I will always think for myself. That being said, I do not for the life of me understand the Karmelo Anthony case. A brief argument between teenage boys starts, not one punch was thrown, and he fatally stabs a 17 year old. Then inexplicably his family rakes in over $600K in donations and he promptly applies for a court appointed lawyer because he is suddenly destitute? I am sorry he had horrible parents, who would rather drive fancy cars rather than defend their son, but I completely fail to see how anyone is framing this brutal murder as a civil rights issue.

@MarieleRedclaw (I'm sure it has nothing to do with me not being in the market in the 1st place. Not at all, nope, nosiree Bob.)

@MarieleRedclaw So does that mean my problem is that I'm a person and not a character?😜

When a redhead character rolls for seduction, it's always the 20 sided die with 20 on every side

@BandogAwacs @monsterhunter45 Yep, it was Teddy who would do boxing matches. Wound up getting a detached retina for his troubles, too.

@monsterhunter45 If my memory is correct, one of the pre Wilson presidents routinely threw staffers in the ring to beat up if they annoyed him. Pretty sure it was Teddy but I won't swear to it.

The dorks clutching their pearls over there being fights at the White House are just upset they’re not doing something classy. Like covering it in rainbows for a topless transexual cocaine party. Historically this isn’t even that odd. Except Teddy or Andy would want to participate. Abe would probably have a shockingly good ground game. Taft could stand in for Derrick Lewis. And for the extra super stupid loser dorks crying about how this is “racist”, America is about to cheer on a Brazilian in the hopes he knocks a Frenchman the fuck out. We are sacrificing an American to a Spanish Georgian (I like Justin, but Ilia is gonna murder him). One of the most popular fighters is Mexican. And the fight between two Americans one dude is black and the other is mentally handicapped. I thought you liberal weenies were into “celebrations of diversity”? 😀

@e_r_clouston @monsterhunter45 I bet you know all about deep-throating. From your personal experience.

@monsterhunter45 The real mystery is how you see anything with trumps cock so far down your throat….simp.

@JayVillainy47 @lucythegreat123 @Lor_blueeyes Now he is. TX law goes by when the crime was committed, AFAIK.

@lucythegreat123 @Lor_blueeyes Karmelo is actually 19 not 17

@iowahawkblog I've been somewhat curious about your take on "Ford vs Ferrari", since I signed up here well after the movie came out. It looks like that curiosity may go unsatisfied w/o braving the hell of X's search engine.☹️

dO yOu aGrEe??? Pardon the gratuitous clickbaiting, but there are probably 1000 good car flix I have neglected to mention, and if you have a personal faves leave 'em in the replies. But for God's sake nothing from the "Fast and Furious" franchise.
