I bet you can't

@davepl1968 I just looked this up in my copy of the Prehistory of the Far Side. It was always my favourite:

This may be the best Far Side of all time. Prove me wrong.

@muhalif_dayi You say that like it's a bad thing..

Bu plaj voleybolcusu o minnacık tangayı niye giymiş zaten göt mam ortada. 😂🤦‍♂️ Maksat spor değil vücudunu teşhir etmek.

@actingliketommy What does one have to do with the other?

This is West Virginia. They are super excited America has its first trillionaire.

@SubBeck @DannyKPolitics So.. Not a pedophile?

@Candid_Apples @DannyKPolitics The relationship was legal.

Jerry Seinfeld is a pedophile.

@grok @EddGorenstein @davepl1968 @MoxxieMoth I think this indicates @EddGorenstein probably has a higher IQ than @davepl1968 . But I'm a fucking retard so maybe not.

@EddGorenstein @davepl1968 @MoxxieMoth You're right — "fucking" is the adverbial intensifier ("fucking awesome," "let's fucking go"). The lemma "fuck" is primarily a verb or noun. Dave was speaking loosely about the expletive's intensifying role in casual speech. Grammar win for you.

Maybe I’m too woke but I miss 5 years ago when saying the word “retarded” was genuinely nasty and made people look at you like a monster

@davepl1968 @MoxxieMoth I fuckin' resent that retarded statement. I'm average IQ. The Mensa test told me so. 😜

@MoxxieMoth I never thought saying "retarded" made someone a monster. It's just like using "fuck" as an adverb - it's something low-intelligence people do to express frustration when they can't put the real words together. Keep it up, it saves time sorting out who you are.

@precogdissonant @mtracey Being a piece of shit is different from being a pedophile.

@mtracey Legality and morality are two different things. Show me the people suggesting JS should’ve been arrested. Mostly we’re just saying he’s a piece of shit. Also the parents pimping out their kid to an older rich dude is not really a defense.

Hmm, if Jerry Seinfeld is a "pedophile" because several decades ago, when he was in his 30s, he had a girlfriend whom he first met when she was 17, and whom he then spent four years in a relationship with, it must be the case that "pedophilia" is legally authorized in New York State, because everything about the relationship was perfectly legal under New York State law. It also must've been the case that the girlfriend's parents supported the pedophile crime spree, since they were reported at the time to have enthusiastically supported her relationship with Seinfeld. The couple must've also been surprisingly unafraid to flaunt their pedophile conspiracy in public.

@RhysSullivan I remember the accusations, but I don't think this ever actually happened.

@EunuchEthiopian @SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY What's evil about giving away free internet to those who don't have it?

@Candid_Apples @SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY I get the feeling that most of our country doesn’t realize how we radicalized ourselves over the past 20 years with our support of evil.

.@ScottJenningsKY just torched the liberal meltdown over Elon becoming the world's first trillionaire: “All day long, I've been listening to liberals, count and spend Elon's money for him. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral? Why is it wrong for somebody in our system, our capitalist system, in the greatest nation on earth, to go out and build a company, build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to go put a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world, all the things he's doing? Why is any of this wrong or bad? Why would we want to discourage entrepreneurship? Why would we want to discourage anybody building anything?” Exactly. Success isn't a crime.

@Hitchslap1 No.

Given 30 years and extreme dedication, do you think a 90 IQ person could become a physicist?

Nobody watching that thought he meant literally half the world, counted to the person. In fact, most probably thought he only meant that he provided Internet access to rural areas that didn't have it before for a fee, without actually realizing that he, in fact, has given free access to entire countries before. I get the feeling you are one of those people.

@Candid_Apples @SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY Your bar for journalists is on the floor. Or maybe you consider him as someone to entertain you. It’s pretty easy to say “he’s given people in several countries free access for a limited time.” Scott knows exactly what he’s doing, grooming the ignorant.

@Aella_Girl I tip well. I used to tip taxi drivers, and I'll continue to tip Uber drivers too. Though I only use them once or twice a month.

Do you tip on ride shares? Uber/Lyft/etc

@EunuchEthiopian @SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY Omg dude, you expected the guy to add up the population of each country and express the exact fraction of the world? It was a figure of speech to say he's given many countries in need free access, when absolutely didnt have to.

@Candid_Apples @SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY Was that before he didn’t give them free internet? Do you think the countries you listed make up half of the world?

@EunuchEthiopian @SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY He did give Ukraine free Internet. He also gave free access to Tonga, Venezuela, Iran, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Congo, and others. The world DID report on it, trust me.

@SteveGuest @ScottJenningsKY Elon gave the internet to half the world? The world would have reported on that, trust me.

For years I tried but I found it too unstable. Wireless drivers always flaking out, and nvidia drivers were a bit of a pain, especially with kernel upgrades. But in 2009 I switched completely and haven't looked back. Linux has bee incredibly stable for me since then. Now, 17 years later, I find Windows just awful to use.

You ever used Linux as your daily driver OS?

@AkiraToriyama Those of us with modded xboxes were able to play a very special version of this game

When devs were allowed to have some fun. We need to go back...

@EthanVanSciver I was always angry that we never got to see a Billy Dee Williams Two Face.

Perfect casting. Thanks for posting a drawing of what Two-Face actually looks like next to yet another stunt-casted black man.

@JSetka @GardensR4Health So because a bunch of bad things are happening, we can't enjoy even a single good thing? Yeesh. Aren't you a barrel of laughs.

@GardensR4Health We have a new never-ending war with Iran, farmers are going bankrupt, inflation is more than under Biden, and people are worried about paying their bills. What a nice park

WOW…Trump has transformed Washington DC Water is flowing, memorials are shinning, and locals are out in DROVES 🔥 DC is proof you can fix a grungy crime ridden city - residents love it!
