So far.

And that was young, fashionable people whinging about having to memorise things that weren’t written down.

Violence baguettes violence.

Reminder that Socrates was said to have hated books because they corrupted the youth, weakening students’ faculties by removing the need to memorise information.

Every single generation since records have existed thought the new tech was ruining us.

Now get off my fucking lawn.

Moisturise me!

Most right-wing outrage has been driven by bots for a decade. Yeah, what’s new?

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

I found that distressing. I’m gonna assume OP manhandled that dude’s nuts after filming for my own sanity.

I can vibe with that.

I guess my question is more about the ‘challenge’ objects. Like I get wanting to put things places, but it’s the stuff that lands you in YouTube compilations due to ‘misadventure’, that clearly looked risky, that gets me.

Putting the OP bottles in places, or getting your nuts trapped in the slats of a park bench such that the fire department has to remove them, things like that.

Why can’t some people resist putting things in every orifice? There’s gotta be some innate drive to do this. Does anyone here relate? What’s the attraction? I want to understand. Seeing weird-shaped things is clearly appealing somehow.

Somebody’s going to wind up in the ER over these.

Flared bases, people!

For their sake, I hope you’re right.

e: and, putting myself in their shoes as a child whose father was both prominent and absent (though not dead), I idolised him well into my 30s. Raising a teen boy finally disabused me of his sainthood. He’s still the most remarkable man I’ve ever met, but he’s also fallible.
If he’d been dead, I may never have been forced to accept he’s human.

Depends. I expect his wife is just as alt-right-addled as he was, which might mean she’ll raise them to be little Nazis. I guess they might break out of that, and I hope so, but being raised alt-right with a prominent martyr to the cause as your father could seriously fuck you up. Don’t forget they’re very rich, so they’re insulated from the real world.

I feel bad for his kids, actually.

They’ll likely be raised to think their father was a martyr, so the poor things (like 1 and 3 years) will probably grow up in the alt-right-o-sphere where their dad was a martyr to the cause.

That’s very sad. They’ll likely won’t have had a chance.

Yeah, nearly every sentence he uttered could have ended with a bang. 💥

He was like a fascist Wile E Coyote.

This is the best use of this meme I’ve ever seen, bar none.

Make Fascists Afraid Again.

In infinite universe theory, there are nearly infinite timelines where this didn’t happen. We’re finally entering the good timeline.

Dr Who, series 2005 S1E2.

I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.

This could be sold for all the money.

Also, kudos for the bidet. #cleanstarfish
