LIVE CHAT:

thrasybulus So, which hostess will be late tonight? @TheDimOne or @AlexNeedsTradeSchool or Both?

Qriist Supporter+ My money is on @AlexOfAllSchools

JQuickDraw Supporter They can share the accolades.

thrasybulus Feline > Canine

thrasybulus Another year older today, Another year closer to death, What's left of your hair is balding and gray, And we won't even mention your breath.

Qriist Supporter+ *tags the puke*

Qriist Supporter+ share away

JQuickDraw Supporter I'm betting the TSA management is gambling on being able to give their workers full back pay once the shutdown is over.

JQuickDraw Supporter Even with all the hand wringing in the media and the Democrat party, polling shows the nation overwhelmingly approves of what's happening with immigration, crime, and the shutdown.

Qriist Supporter+ We could raze a 75% of the federal government's workforce and not much would change for the average civilian.

thrasybulus Remember the time TSA held a WW2 Medal of Honor winner flying to Arlington VA and made him strip to his underwear because they thought his MoH was a ninja throwing star?

Guyinroom83 it's just a furlough? i thought they were losing their jobs

JQuickDraw Supporter I think they intend to just not bring them back. Also, if it goes on long enough, a lot of people would have to move on and find another job.

JQuickDraw Supporter @Qriist Okay fascist

thrasybulus It happens a bunch, but it often matters little outside of areas with large federal workforces.

Guyinroom83 i get what youre saying but i wouldnt wish being laid off on anyone

Qriist Supporter+ @JQuickDraw thaaaat's me! Your friendly neighbor infinitesimally small government fascist. :D

JQuickDraw Supporter If a person can hijack a plane with a ninja star, they deserve a medal of honor.

Guyinroom83 a lay off means you no longer have a job, no one deserves them imo. they come with no warning

thrasybulus The life of he whose Medal of Honor was thought to be a throwing star. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzKWMb6gNr0

Guyinroom83 i didnt know it was a routine thing actually. the media is making it seem like its not

thrasybulus There is a business rule that indicates you should layoff and possible replace the bottom 3% of your workforce annually.

Guyinroom83 i completely disagree with that 'business rule'

thrasybulus @Guyinroom83 In rather large businesses it actually makes sense to remove and replace the bottom 3% of your workforce.

JQuickDraw Supporter The fed gov is a bureaucratic leviathan. More than half of it is unconstitutional and also unnecessary.

Guyinroom83 yes i know, but layoffs are now a trend, and thats wrong

Guyinroom83 i kinda disagree

Qriist Supporter+ @Guyinroom83 shutdowns are fairly rare historically, though they are ramping up. There's been 10 total in US history but 4 in the last 20 years.

Qriist Supporter+ so you're saying she's a prowler

JQuickDraw Supporter The incomprehensible size of the government contributes to its oppressive nature. You don't have to be evil if you are just a cog in an evil machine, not knowing what your actions effect downstream.

thrasybulus There was a school in a town with a budget crisis where the teachers volunteered to take a paycut to all stay employed and the union wouldn't allow it.

MudderFetcher OMB said in court that they are looking at over 4,000 firings so far

JQuickDraw Supporter @thrasybulus Why am I not surprised lol.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator I call that systematized force.

thrasybulus I was told at work I should not speak on stage. Just dance and collect the money thrown at me.

Qriist Supporter+ turbine

Qriist Supporter+ bottom of the sea

thrasybulus Congress keeps doing continuing resolutions because no speaker since Newt Gingrich has passed 3 consecutive budgets.

thrasybulus It's the bottom 3% of performers.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator Okay, that makes sense.

Qriist Supporter+ *sips the bottom 3% of this Pepsi*

thrasybulus Maybe he just wants her to support him in the lifestyle he wishes to become accustomed.

thrasybulus US military has an up or out. You don't make a high enough rank in the specified length of time and your career ends early.

JQuickDraw Supporter They make such a big deal about the budget, but every single time, they just increase the cap. And the black budget calls into question all the numbers in the main budget. It's a big ole clown show.

thrasybulus Plumbers are more valueable to society than lawyers and paid less.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator Exactly.

thrasybulus When a woman says she wants a guy who is "ambitious" she means trying to be a high earner if not already.
Qriist
Supporter+
$1
Gas money. Don't spend it all in one place.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator That's why I've always said I don't care about an ambitious man, as that was what I heard too.

Qriist Supporter+ The Good Place explored the concept of "downstream sin".

JQuickDraw Supporter Unsafe Space still exists . . . in the hearts of all the DimCunts.

MudderFetcher Office of Management and Budget

Qriist Supporter+ 𝑺𝑳𝑼𝑹𝑹𝑹𝑹𝑷

thrasybulus It's weird to see and hear @AlexofAllTrades typing after her message appears on screen.

Qriist Supporter+ @AlexOfAllGoldDigging

JQuickDraw Supporter @thrasybulus Alex breaks the laws of physics. Miss Causality

thrasybulus @AlexOfKeptMen

Qriist Supporter+ WATCH PARTY GO GO GO

thrasybulus Canuckistani

MudderFetcher Canada is definitely the Hallmark of countries

thrasybulus Doesn't hallmark film alot of its stuff in Canuckistan?

Qriist Supporter+ She was doing stage acting In Hawaii.

thrasybulus @MudderFetcher You mean simultaneously expensive and polite?

Qriist Supporter+ Mulder and Scully of Xfiles were a very good duo.

thrasybulus Robin Tunney is in two iconic movies The Craft and Empire Records.

thrasybulus Stana Katic did 3 seasons of some crime show called Absentia after Castle.

Qriist Supporter+ Absentia was awesome!

JQuickDraw Supporter I like to pretend to be Robocop when dating. A strong, upstanding lawman, a protector, and a cool uniform.

Qriist Supporter+ I have the charisma of a dead camel. Conversation with me will be grueling. Sorry ladies.

thrasybulus The problem with passionate people is that you may not be interested what they are passionate about.

thrasybulus Speaking of Absentia, there is a low budget horror film of the same name that is decent. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1610996/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_absentia

Qriist Supporter+ In the Good Place they figured out that the Industrial Revolution stopped anybody from getting into heaven.

Qriist Supporter+ All of the corrupt business practices everywhere else meant individual good choices still ended up with a negative sin rating.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator That's just dumb. Glad I stopped watching.

Qriist Supporter+ (obvious commie bullshit but still a fun show)

thrasybulus Underlying epic story that go with weekly stories are good.

Qriist Supporter+ @AlexofAllTrades yeah I thought that was one of the weaker parts of the show. It was dumb.

thrasybulus Absentia show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6794990/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_accord_1_cdt_t_7

MudderFetcher Robocop saves his cuffs for night time fun

Qriist Supporter+ Absentia was a 3 season show, she was the main character. Not a girlboss storyline. Really enjoyed it.

JQuickDraw Supporter Oh sorry, he's Robo-LAPD-Cop. Handcuffs not required.

Qriist Supporter+ It's good to talk about POC with nuance. (People of Corrections)

Qriist Supporter+ haven't seen The Conjuring series

thrasybulus Vera Farmiga?

thrasybulus My new breakup line: Begone demon! Return thyself to the foulest pits of Hell thou came from!

thrasybulus Drainage ditches

thrasybulus Mystery Monday

Qriist Supporter+ the mimes must be French

JQuickDraw Supporter My go-to breakup line? "Hey look over there! What the hell is that???" Then I run away as fast as I can. It's more of a breakup system.

thrasybulus Miss and Misses Mystery

MudderFetcher could be Mystery Machine so you can Scooby Do it

Qriist Supporter+ Murder Mice

MudderFetcher Murder She/Her Wrote

Qriist Supporter+ ohhhh @MudderFetcher Mystery Machine is perfect

JQuickDraw Supporter Foul Play Femmes

JQuickDraw Supporter Bad News Bitches

JQuickDraw Supporter The Killside Cunts

Qriist Supporter+ Looks like Judaism more or less invented the concept of sin as a distinct concept, but lots of ancient religions had vaguely similar ideas.

thrasybulus The secret of Murder She Wrote is that Angela Lansbury's character is really just a serial killer who frames others.

MudderFetcher going through true crime stories and rating how bangable the people involved are will be quite the segment lmao

thrasybulus That's grounds for appeal on inadequate counsel.

thrasybulus Some people only care about pleasing the boss.

Qriist Supporter+ Judges would never ever ever disregard exculpatory evidence to make their numbers look good.

MudderFetcher sometimes your buddy needs a ride in your Bronco

Qriist Supporter+ Given the recent spate of overwhelming leftist violence, I would not be surprised at the Democrat governor helping murder someone.

thrasybulus @AlexOfBlueSky has deleted her twitter?

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator Just the app off my phone.

Qriist Supporter+ she's now @AlexOfOnlyFans

thrasybulus @MurderGoose2028 Foss was the Medal of Honor winner whose medal was mistaken for a ninja star.

Qriist Supporter+ it was 4

Qriist Supporter+ she got 4 points

thrasybulus System: 2+2=4, 4+4=8, etc.

Qriist Supporter+ I believe everything on the internet, especially evan loves worf.

thrasybulus Near violent wife sleeps with brother of husband who fled under threat.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator No, he was suggesting that he may be violent.

thrasybulus I can write it a different headline way based on the story I am told. I am still more accurate than WaPo Obits.

Qriist Supporter+ I am happy to report that the frog of shame has won the battle. https://x.com/ingelramdecoucy/status/1976007845993906414

Qriist Supporter+ https://x.com/ingelramdecoucy/status/1976007845993906414

thrasybulus @ItsAlexsMomsFault agreed.

MudderFetcher bragging about how perfect your pregnancy is/was sounds like a really dumb way to tempt karma

thrasybulus You shouldn't wait and be an old maid without a husband at 22.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator lol

Qriist Supporter+ each of my swimmers carries a 800mg tablet of Tylenol

thrasybulus A lot of Docs these days practice to avoid getting sued. It has resulted in a dramatically increased C-Section rates.

thrasybulus Squatty Potties for everyone.

Qriist Supporter+ @thrasybulus I was just thinking that lol

thrasybulus Naughty Nurses of NeoNatal

MudderFetcher "So were you birthed missionary or doggystyle?"

Qriist Supporter+ Beverly gonna give birth in the barn with Lemongrab catching the football as it comes out.

JQuickDraw Supporter Nurse: "I don't think so." *pushes baby's head back into the mother* Somewhere in Romania, a recently dead person springs back to life.

thrasybulus Talent + Work

thrasybulus Coach: Hard work beats talent when talent refuses to work hard. Player: What happens when you face a hard worker with talent? Coach: Get out of his way.

thrasybulus Consenting to sex is consenting to the risk of pregnancy.

thrasybulus My mom told me as a teen before my first date: Don't have sex with a woman you aren't willing to be tied to for the next 19 years.

JQuickDraw Supporter Luckily, my breakup system works equally well as a pregnancy avoidance system. "Hey look over there!"

thrasybulus I consented to x% risk. You lied and it was actually x+10% risk. I did not consent to x+10, I was not offered a chance to consent to it.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator Exactly.

thrasybulus Sounds like going into heat.

JQuickDraw Supporter I'm going to use that postcoital technique and see how she reacts when I start clapping and cheering "Huzzah! Huzzah!" after we finish.

MudderFetcher just let him finish

Qriist Supporter+ "Consent to biscuits is consent to kittens." -Beverly

JQuickDraw Supporter Goose sex sounds an awful lot like a Worldstar fight video.

MudderFetcher Cats Are Like Strippers is Alex's next book

thrasybulus Not recommended postcoital breakup technique: Tell her "You were very good," and ask "Do you do that professionally?"

Qriist Supporter+ Hasan has had an actual internationally wanted Somali pirate on his stream before

JQuickDraw Supporter @thrasybulus "Thanks for the freebee. How much do you usually charge?"

thrasybulus @JQuickDraw The sex is free, but the lube and reach around are both extra.

Qriist Supporter+ the crusades weren't all bad

JQuickDraw Supporter He's technically not wrong that the Protestants didn't fight in the crusades. Of course, ascribing a desire to not fight is weird.

Qriist Supporter+ "not murdering babies is extreme"

thrasybulus Look at the Thirty Years War and tell me Protestants and Catholics won't fight over religion.

thrasybulus Abi Spaby is a tool. Her AG candidate is worse.

Qriist Supporter+ ya it's Jay

thrasybulus Jay Jones

Qriist Supporter+ She completely refused to condemn Jay's words during her debate with Winsome the other night.

thrasybulus The former speaker of the house of delegates.

Qriist Supporter+ it wasn't a joke, he was *unrelentingly* serious when his colleague was begging him to stop

thrasybulus It was sent to one of his colleagues

Qriist Supporter+ It was to a Republican colleague about another Republican.

Qriist Supporter+ ya the Democrat apparatus has en masse "reaffirmed" (their term) their support for Jay Jones since the news dropped.

thrasybulus Hashishin

MudderFetcher do they still do the thing where it pulls you out to play game developer for an hour?

MudderFetcher we'll all have sex robots soon anyways

thrasybulus From a civilizational level, birthrate is rather important.

JQuickDraw Supporter Gen X were the latch key generation, we were always on our own.

MudderFetcher Gen X are the guy hitting the bong in the background of the fight

JQuickDraw Supporter @MudderFetcher Straight up lol. We'd rather go hang out in the burnt out abandoned building down the block than deal with all the drama.

thrasybulus There is the Xenial grouping of Gen X childhood, Millenial Adolesence.

Qriist Supporter+ I've noticed a MASSIVE uptick in tumblrite nonsense across my timeline the past couple days, as you can see.

thrasybulus It's like a 7 year overlaping period between the generations.

Qriist Supporter+ I must laugh at the retards.

JQuickDraw Supporter See? It's your own fault, @Qriist

Qriist Supporter+ fw = fuck with

MudderFetcher fucking Arachnophobes

thrasybulus I was surprised when I found out tumblr wasn't just caption porn.

Qriist Supporter+ 👃

Qriist Supporter+ Final Destination, Final Destination Z, Final Destination Super

Qriist Supporter+ (we don't talk about Final Destionation GT)

thrasybulus Batting cages help you hit the right pitch.

AlexofAllTrades VerifiedModerator lol

Qriist Supporter+ Roofers are known for their good pitch.

thrasybulus It's all manifestation.

Qriist Supporter+ probably shifting your diaphragm

thrasybulus @DimOne If you go jumping from tall buildings you won't be around in April.

Qriist Supporter+ I've never wanted to be an HBO mobster

thrasybulus Calling @Alex a Soprano means she's an Italian "in sanitation".

MudderFetcher is "I'd probably go with pills" your official stance on Health Care?

thrasybulus Fuel Air Explosives removes the oxygen.

JQuickDraw Supporter Beverly sitting in her car in the garage, about to pass into the next life. *runs into the garage and asks her 'Hey what's the difference between articles and prepositions?' and runs back out*

thrasybulus People rarely choose firing squad.

MudderFetcher I'd choose chocolate
