“If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?” Yes, apparently.

Who fucking kills a puppy.

Kristi Noem. Psychopaths. About half of republicunts.

They really do deserve each other. Melania would be gone in a second if the money dried up. Donny just wants a trophy to assault now and then. Insufferable, miserable bastards.

Aw. And neither was this “woman”, who it seems was just Russian ops trying to lure another dumb American hostage.

I love cats. Always trying to be so cool, but then they get comfy and let their guard down and boom, this face. A+

Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, Amazon; They’re everywhere, and come in too many flavors! Inaba (Japan) seems like a quality company, and Churu is well- reviewed (it’s protein puree, high moisture, nothing terrible in it).

My 12 y/o buddy just started eating them (chicken flavor), and goes alarmingly nuts for them. Great for adding water to diet, sick days, meds, etc. (Nulo, Tiki Cat, others also make quality puree pouches.)

We’re experiencing extremely high call volume.

Every hour of every day, because company won’t hire or pay for anything better.

Press 3 to have a representative call you back; You won’t lose your place in line.

Sure. Meanwhile, I get on their website and try their weird “chat” support popup, that somehow takes care of the problem hours before I ever get a call back.

This is why people hate phone support. And why I don’t trust and won’t buy products from companies who only have phone support (or “social media”, Facebook, Twixer). Give me a dedicated support email address, or something text-based (live chat, contact form) on website, thanks!

Yes. Just FYI: All three have free “freeze” option, hidden somewhere (probably thanks to federal law). They also have very similar paid option, which they heavily advertise; That’s not the one. They do all require free accounts, but probably worth it to be able to freeze/unfreeze instantly online.

I just received “dark web” alert about SSN, phone, name, and email… that I only used at AT&T many years ago. So AT&T has definitely leaked our data as well. Add 'em to the list…

In oil country, the land may be getting less stable. Korean Samsung (and planet Earth) vs Texan oil barons, I wonder who Texas will protect.

I waited years for the bug fixes and DLC, bought all-the-things for $40, and experienced 200+ hours of bliss. Recommended.

Who knows why he’s running. I do know that the more he sounds like T****, and repeats dumb conspiracies, the more votes he potentially takes from him. Keep it up, Robert!

I think they should hurry the fuck up (with robots and “AI” workers). Do it, cowards. Nuke the job market. Mass unemployment. (UBI to the rescue? GOP insanity will never allow it.) Kick off the revolution. The hunt for their bunkers, maybe something a bit different from guillotines this time.

Wait… we’ll just get a bunch of fake populist cults and militias, won’t we. Or something much dumber.

My (big ol’) cat used to somehow get all the way on top of an SUV and bite/bump the little stubby antenna. Easy to miss the damage! Bet there’s a bunch of cars out there with (delicious) chewed-up antennas. (They usually unscrew and are replaceable, at least.)

Obligatory: Nice.

I hate ads, but these were beautifully done. And effective: I do indeed feel the need for some very long Sakeru Gummy candy. I wonder over how long these originally played out in Japan. Bravo.

This president has acted like he was owned by the cartels since day one. Good luck to any peace he thought that would bring. Seems like a disaster for their future in the long-term.

I don’t really understand this, either. Other than these new SPACs being the cutting edge of fraud or some kind of white-collar crime. Here’s some interesting info (and comparison with Reddit IPO).

SPACs were supposed to be a quick and easy way for a company like Trump Media & Technology Group to go public, but it hasn’t worked out that way.

Instead, they’ve developed a reputation as a kind of back-door IPO for companies that probably couldn’t withstand the scrutiny involved with a conventional listing.

Many of the highest-profile SPACs, including Nikola, Virgin Galactic, and BuzzFeed, are now unloved penny stocks.

I happened upon it thanks to PBS Frontline at YouTube a while ago. youtu.be/gvAyykRvPBo I’m sure it captures only 1/1000 of the terror committed by Putin and his toy soldiers, and yet it should be more than enough. Glory to Ukraine.

I don’t see anything in these photos that warrants an article. Seems like another lame click-bait conspiracy, probably cooked up by tabloids or the equally brain-damaged: “But where’s Kate?!1” Even The Verge has an article, JFC.

Social media will continue to fuel endless garbage from the minds of who-the-fuck-knows and literally insane people. Can’t wait for AI to turborcharge humanity’s decent into madness.

“It’s because he was too old, even more so 20 years ago.” - certain news media, probably

T**** just forced him out as Republicunt senate leader. I was not really expecting an endorsement, Bitch seemed to loathe him. Maybe he demanded both, lol.

Gonna be fun to watch them all get on their knees and kiss the ring, only for him to lose again. Hope Biden sends some real firepower to their second coup attempt.

The only polling I even partially trust is aggregated and adjusted for quality (like 538). And only a month (…or a week) before the election. Polling is broken and only getting worse, for many reasons. But I guess there is money in it, so it continues until it’s worthless.

I’m skeptical of the FDA’s capabilities in blood red states like Texas. (Or any federal regulatory agencies, frankly.) The states do everything in their power to show contempt, weaken, undermine, infiltrate and obstruct them (and feds are slow at best to react).

Weird, someone in Russia and also NK just bought half a million pairs. And some MAGA NFTs. (They don’t require any delivery. But they have a few requests…)

In my view it was similar to the recent Manchin / Sinema travesty. Zero Republican votes, plus some very cowardly or corrupt “centrist Democrats” that neuter or kill bill. A classic recipe for disappointment.
