Friday Ephemera

Hardcore cleaning. || All you have to do, they said, is keep very still. || Well, I suppose they’re quite big, yes. || Boat legs. || AntGame. || Gratuitous drama detected. || What are the odds? || “They took what was already there and claimed it as theirs.” || Sprites. || The joys of public transport, parts 4,863 and 4,864. || Add pants, should they be needed. || Sponsor Block, for skipping the ever-lengthening sponsor segments in YouTube videos. || Musical interlude. || The last one. || Discussion point. || Discussion point 2. || Fashion for him, and for her. || Four legs good. || How to fail a drug test. || She’s winning at fatness, so there’s that. || And finally, with some effort, when you really do want your towel back.

3x3 vid: scariest video ever. Either we are doomed or extreme camera fright is a thing. They have, tbf, found that when confronted with an extremely attractive woman, men lose the ability to speak (for real). So maybe that is it. Try a written test.

I, for one, was surprised that the Cardinals and other sundry clerics aren't barreling around Vatican City in lifted diesel F-250s rolling coal.

Shouldn't that be the Devil, grinning at bystanders as his truck belches smoke and flames? While the cardinals are in white EV's? We could have some fun with contradictory visualizations of such stuff.

"I'm pretty. I don't need to know anything or do anything." I probably shouldn't think that so quickly, but I do.

Silly people.

Everyone knows the devil drives a series 10 Cadillac and wears a cigar on his lip...

The dame is a ditz, but more scary is the sub-continental chap in the graduation robes was wearing a gold cord signifying he was some sort of honor student.

"Is our children learning?"

...its bottom is made of plastic with an LED smart sensor inside of it... to remind you to drink water.

Finally, the long dark night of having to rely on being thirsty to know when to drink has been solved.

As long as you have the app, of course.

So maybe that is it.

Whistling past the graveyard again. The more involved in my community I get, the more clear it is to me that the vast majority of people are idiots. Very, very simple things become ridiculously complicated because people are this dumb. And don't strut around, boomers. I know people much like this of our generation and Gen-X. Many are (supposed to be) very smart. They know a whole lot about very little. Sure they had tests that they had to pass in school but the minute it was poured out on the paper, it was forgotten. The best that I can say about this is that some people, maybe not specifically one of these...maybe one...but others, some people are/would be more embarrassed to know the answers to questions like this than to not know them and thus lie. After all, those of us who find this video shocking are the icky types.

OK, this is just making the sex robots just a little too real.

... and charge the water bottle with a proprietary charger.

jfc

Cme on, what fun is a USB-C you can plug into anything when...

...while you can choose different colors for the bottle to glow when you need to drink water if you want to customize the colors, you need to pay extra...

More JFC...

You can also compete with friends “in fun hydration challenges and earn trophies for your collection.”

I wonder if there is a prize for being the first to hydrate yourself into hyponatremia, maybe you get a special glow color (99 cents extra).

I know people much like this of our generation and Gen-X

I know multiple schoolteachers in the Gen-X cohort that do not know the subjects they are teaching to any meaningful standard.

This includes elementary school teachers.

"I'm pretty. I don't need to know anything or do anything." I probably shouldn't think that so quickly, but I do.

Whose fault is that?

I have green eyes. This is uncommon, even in Caucasians. Have I, or anyone else with green eyes, ever thought "I have green eyes. I don't need to know anything or do anything?"

No. Because nobody else cares whether I have green eyes. They won't treat me differently or hold me to any different standards just because I have green eyes.

Only the Pope would be entitled to an F-350.

In other news, this guy is onto something...

[Daniel Ream]

This is one of the most depressing things I've ever read. Everyone in this story, including the prof, needs to be expelled.

[WTP]

The pathetic jackasses in our government are now harassing Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe. This is ridiculous. What sad, pathetic people we have running this country that they would take politics to this level. I now await the oh-you're-overreacting story where they say it's just a little oopsie some overworked bureaucrat made in an Urkel "Oh, did I do that?" sense. People are bloody fools.

[pst314]

Now let's talk about the people who voted for Biden. On second thought, why bother?

This was the premise of the 2008 Ang Lee Hulk movie.

[WTP]

So tell me if you've heard this one...

A guy picks up a girl, takes her home. They make wild, passionate love all night. The next morning he's heading out the door and sees a picture of a man on the dresser. He asks, "Who is this guy?" She says, "Never mind, it's complicated." He starts to get a little nervous and asks again, "No seriously, who is he?" She says, " Trust me, you really don't want to know." Now he's getting really concerned. "I have to know. Who is this man?" She says.."It's me, you idiot."

[Directrix Gazer]

Pretty close to the origin of the Reavers in Serenity, too.

[sonny wayz]

My first thought, too.

[Ed Snack]

So the researchers thought they knew what a certain receptor did, but found it was “more complicated” than they anticipated. Why on earth was that a surprise ? Surely, that has been the single most common finding in such research for decades ?

[Fred the Fourth]

Wtp,
I hope mr. Rowe had an implied "but I could" in there, right after he says he's never tried to politically influence the "six million" followers of his page.

[Fred the Fourth]

Reavers are just a myth, you know? Teacher said so.
Nah, it's more likely to end with hordes of Blue Minions.

At least they were only experimenting on hamsters, and were honest about the results. Remember the Chinese researcher and the CRISPR babies?

[asiaseen]

David - a warning! Best to check what yours has been up to.

Oh hamsters! I was worried for a monent.

[WTP]

I hope mr. Rowe had an implied "but I could" in there,

Well, it is implied given the actions of the GSA. I doubt many of his fans/followers/supporters are rah-rahs for this pathetic administration. Hence the need to go after him. It's so stupid, so blatantly wrong, yet I doubt it will get a blip from the MSM. Maybe Fox will speak of it because they kinda have to since he has a show on their network.

[Baceseras]

Now do sausage rolls.

They beat you into submission before jumping down your throat.
