The cruelty is the point

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My sister in law had a meltdown last thanksgiving that included screaming at her husband, and storming off to her bathroom to spend the rest of the day (up until food, and then she demanded someone bring her a specific selection on a plate) in a jacuzzi tub. The whole house reverberate when it's on, it's quite annoying.

The absolutely soul-crushing, terrible, impossibly bad thing that happened?

Her husband grabbed the wrong shade of blue curtains from the closet, and she had to wait an extra 90 seconds to put them up. Legitimately don't understand how he's stayed married to her for 15 years. Apparently she's always been like this to him over the smallest bullshit.

I suppose if you've got appropriately strong nets, you could corral everything closer to a spot with easier access with only a handful of boats (theoretically just one, and an anchor point)

Me, 5 seconds ago: Oh, well the lake here in Ohio has a lot of debris in it too, I'm sure it's not that baHOLY SHIT THAT'S SO MUCH

It almost looks like I could go walk across the surface.

That's an insane amount. How do you even go about cleaning it all up? A bunch of small boats and guys with rakes, or do you look into transporting a trash barge with a crane and have dump trucks haul it all away?

Won't be quick or easy, that's for sure.

The system is working as it was designed.

It just wasn't designed for so many idiots.

"in error"

Also known as: "Someone higher up took a bribe or inserted personal politics into a government agency and we got caught doing nothing about it. "

If you notice a lot of companies moving to your area, demand to know why your government isnt taxing them on par with your neighbors and why they hate their citizens/constituents so much.

Looking at you, Delaware...

I don't think I know anyone who would consider an "Israeli-American" to be white, or even any whiter than "Lebanese-American", and I'm solidly Midwestern.

I kind of want to send out a bunch of messages to people asking if they consider one "white" or "whiter" than the other...

I know plenty of people who will give Israel carte Blanche simply because it "needs to exist for Jesus to come back" though, so answers wouod be skewed I imagine.

Sorry I didn't really answer your question, I'm interested to hear other people's takes as well.

Back in the day, if I read "Sitting president calls for a coup d'état after hearing he lost the election" we could laugh and go "oh, you silly satirical newspaper, such a thing would never happen, this was an amusing diversion from the mundane!"

Now we go "Oh my god, turn on basically any news channel, there's people trying to murder congress and hang the vice president and nobody is trying to stop them" and continue on FOR FOUR GODDAMN YEARS LIKE NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED
