I miss the days when compilers didn’t whine like little babies just because you used an uninitialized variable.

Getting a little tired of this whole “Florida Man declares war" thing. I much prefer “Florida man robs Wendy's with alligator.”

Boy, some of that locker-room talk seems kind of extreme.

I think I finally found the cure for picking eating: 1) make sure the picky eater becomes a teenage boy, and 2) have the picky eater do at least 2 hours of hard exercise a day.

sometimes I like to play a game where I read the replies to political posts and try to guess which ones are bots repeating talking points and which ones are people repeating bot talking points

My favorite part of voting early was I got to avoid the rush of men with guns sent to help me vote. Five stars, would recommend.

This Podcast craze is so interesting. For example, I used to think Dramond Green was just an ass who likes kicking people in the balls. But after listening to his podcast, I now think he is a smart and articulate person that just happens to really like kicking people in the balls. #nba

I can’t believe I still have to vote. Feels like we should have reached the point where voting is irrelevant by now. Maybe next year.

I am sure there are people that don’t like seeing the president bulldoze the White House, but perhaps you don’t understand how much he likes to dance. Have you seen him? That man was born to dance.

Is it possible that various wealthy landowners are so panicked about Hispanics and Antifa right now because Zorro is on the loose?

A fun thing about Trump’s amazing “pregnant women shouldn’t take Tylenol” discovery is most drugs are already off-limits for the pregnant. Not because they are unsafe, but because it is unprofitable to study that demographic. Tylenol is one of the few drugs intensely studied and considered safe.

So weird to see Republicans trying to defund the police and Democrats demanding state rights.

I don’t think Trump is dead and has been replaced by AI. On the other hand, I also don’t think he would pass a Turing test.

I can see what people like about Trump. I just wish he would spend less time on his war on democracy and brown people, and more time on his war on windmills and low-flow toilets.

They added WNBA players to my basketball video game this year, and after years of playing characters of both sexes across many game genres, I can safely conclude guys don’t mind a female decapitating them with a spinning kick, but they just can’t stand the idea of women dunking on them.

Not sure why they’ve relabeled warming up “dynamic stretching”, but they both sound useless and I’m willing to injure myself as many times as necessary to prove it.

One of the tough things about being ruled by evil old people is how few of them have any sort of crisis of conscious despite being 90. They’re still just like “nope love being evil, gonna do that every single day until I can’t, no fear of 3 ghosts shaming me”

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

Given all the recent high-stakes events, I think there is only one thing on people’s minds: exactly how many cats HAS Zohran Mamdani eaten?
