What’s their next attack target, puppies?

Remember the time one of those shitheads shot and killed her own dog?

Name checks ou- well, not really…

Ramble on!

Hmm, reminds me of another republican tv-host-turned-president 🤔

“BILLY EYE LASH” probably

Came here to say this! Take my upvote!

As I read all these classic lines (and try not to roll my eyes out of my head), I can see them scrolling up a TV screen—some in yellow text—just like those old “Greatest Hitz” CD commercials.

I have nothing to add, and for the record I agree with your argument.

But holy fuck, is tattooed eyeliner really a thing? I’ve never gotten a tattoo, but that one sounds unbearably painful.

“You’re a loony.”

It’s amazing the amount of freedom I enjoy simply by not being a conservative. When I get home from work I just have a good time playing videogames or whatever else makes me happy. I’m allowed to like whatever I like.

They really should try it. It’s liberating 😌

Satanic panic is their whole life. I really pity them. They live in constant fear of not only their god who supposedly “loves” them, but another deity who also doesn’t exist.

If anyone here wants a fun way to memorize more digits, enjoy this song!

Really glad I have a legit reason to share this old thing

No, they just don’t like the stare.

Fucking thank you. Calling it anything but “fake” or “fraudulent” serves only to normalize the lie that an “alternate list” is a codified idea. Imagine the place we’d be in if we had normalized the phrase “alternative facts” or whatever phrase gurgled out of that one shithead when talking about the “Bowling Green massacre” that she made up.

Make them hear it, read it, and squirm.

Looks like you have more faith than me that any one republican has the capacity for discomfort. Your patience is really admirable. I hope you continue to keep your cynicism in check, unlike me.

I remember reading about how silicon is theoretically possible, but I had (erroneously) assumed there were more potential candidates. Thanks for the additional info. This stuff is so fascinating!

The RNC is so pathetic they need to make an effort to stop slobbering his cock while he steps on theirs. How embarrassing…

It’s impossible to tell if that’s an indictment of the people’s attitude or the “healthcare” system. Probably both. This country sucks rotten ass sometimes.

These answers are all really fun but I didn’t see anyone point out one thing: why should we assume that our creators’ “computer” architecture is anything remotely similar to our technology? I’m thinking of something like SETI—We can’t just assume that all other life is carbon-based (though evidently it’s a pretty good criterion). The simulation could be running on some kind of dark matter machine or some other exotic material that we don’t even know about.

Personally I don’t subscribe to the simulation theory. But if it were true, why would the system have any kind of limitation? I feel like if it can simulate everything from galactic superclusters down to strings vibrating in Planck Time, there are effectively no limits.

Then again, infinity is quite a monster, so what do I know?

Oh definitely, I wasn’t trying to imply that. Just wanted to put in my two cents. As a Texan I want nothing more than to watch Abbott and Costello Cruz (and Paxton, among countless others) get their comeuppance, but that will inevitably hurt innocent people, whether through side effects or spiteful retaliation.

I’d probably be cheering on whatever pain the GOP feels, before realizing I should be biting my nails and planning my exit strategy lol.

It would be great if there was some federal assistance, as Dkarma mentioned. Helping good people while accelerating the brain drain 😄

Innocent person here. Not only would it be guaranteed to harm us, but IMO completely "other"ing even one entire state would be disastrous.

I’m no geopolitical expert, but I’ve heard the argument (and I tend to agree) that isolating an entire group of people and treating them all equally badly is a very effective way to allow terrorism to spread. Think about the decades-long “war on terror” and what little it actually accomplished.

Consider how many gun-toting military fetishists there are in, say, Texas. Then remember that “Y’all Qaeda” isn’t just a meme. These people are already mouth-foaming rabid when their conversation space is diluted with rational thought from more sensible people. Imagine sealing their echo chamber for them.

Obviously I don’t know what the best solution is, because compassion doesn’t work (except maybe on a one-to-one level, but who wants to talk to millions of nutjobs?), and antagonism will only bring us further down as a nation.
