First!
HAHAHAHASUCKITLOSERS!
First on the first is more like it loser!
My new motto shall be “Fac stulta, disco”.
I love HR asking about the handmade gift.
And “What kind of conversations are you having?”
Reminds me of this place.
The scissor tattoos made me lol
So I talked with my sister last night about a weird email I got. The new guy at my old job emailed to say a woman had contacted the office looking for my contact details because she heard about my father’s death and couldn’t contact my mother. Rather than give that info out they got her details and he forwarded the message to me.
It was an odd message because my dad died in 2015 and my mom in 2020. I texted a tech who works in the office to ask him if the guy who sent it really sent it and he wasn’t hacked. It was a real phone call.
My sister had also never heard of her name and she searched through my mom’s old phone book to see if it was there and found nothing. The number was in the Tampa area code and she called it. Went to voice mail with no message (it was Friday night so no answer is not unusual but no message adds to the weirdness).
Anyone who knew my parents and also knew their son practiced in Bangor and was able to track down my old office number YET was unaware that both my parents had died is just a bizarre circumstance. Surely the search for my mother would have led to her obituary.
I can’t help but think this is some kind of scam along the lines of “Yeah, he had an insurance policy and we just need your bank information to deposit the large check” or something similar.
Any other thoughts besides what did I do with the $20?
Last one is me, cept dog needs to be one of those ugly ones with the fucked up teeth and tongue hanging out.
4th pg Daily Mail. “Ukraine moving troops north to protect border from Wagner mercenary’s”. They’re not hiding in Belarus (never were) they were positioning to attack. Does anyone really think someone can take a swing at Putin publicly and getaway with it. Does anyone really think Wagner just happened to have all their shit loaded for transport and we’re then provoked by a “friendly fire incident”? That was the initial claim.
Meanwhile, it’s popcorn time for France. Appears they’ve lost Marseille, reports that police HQ has been ransacked and “groups of armed youths” are roaming unmolested.
Coming soon to a urban shithole near you.
Sounds like a long lost cousin is a Nigerian Prince.
So fucking counterproductive, is what I don’t understand. When I was at work during the George Floyd summer of love, the poc employees were looking at the looting and rioting in Minneapolis and Seattle, laughing and saying ‘burn it all down,’ and I was like, do you not see the immediate and obvious result of this behavior is exactly the opposite of what you supposedly want?
Who can look at those violent scenes and think to themselves that these people are suffering and need to be treated with more respect?
Only a poisonous ideology and culture can make it seem okay. Even then they had to put the little bandaid on it when it was obvious they were harming innocents: “They have insurance.” Which was utter bullshit, nobody is insured for losing everything. And then the murders…well lets ignore that.
He might need help moving some cash.
You can trust him, he’s family.
Yeah thats weird Jimbro. Ignore.
Weird Jimbro….
a new name is born.
Good advice.
From the initial email from the doc who works at my old job I wondered if HE had been hacked to the content of the message (discovering anew my dad had passed but it was 8 years ago) to no message on an answering machine.
We long ago heard from all the organizations he belonged to and collected the few small insurance policies he had which went to my mom anyway.
“Listen to your gut Jimster”
As the meme goes:
“You’re Being Watched”
“Be Weird As Fuck”
Anyone see any pictures of downtown Minneapolis after the riots? How is that city doing?
You know who’s a dried up, bitter, husk of a woman? Kathleen Kennedy. You have to be to want to demoralize the audience of 3 beloved movie franchises.
She hates men and it’s obvious her shitty looks prevented her from getting the man she REALLY wanted.
Some real gems in this batch!
I kept thinking I found a favorite and then another one hit.
My 2yo GSD really liked the howling/singing dog ones.
Oh, after looking at internet images of Kathleen Kennedy I’m wrong she may be a tranny. yikes.
So is France going to implode like a homemade submarine at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean?
Oui.
A large swath of Europe appears to be imploding, mostly in slow motion, under the pressure of illegal immigrants from semi-civilized countries. Some parts of Europe were always suspicious; a few are slowly getting a clue. Some don’t look like they ever will, and are being de-Europized.
Looks like links to Twitter will no longer work unless you have an account. Is that everyone else’s take too?
I mean, they still take you to Twitter, but just to the main page, not to the linked page. But only after prompting you to sign in.
I read that was their new thing yesterday RC. I’m sure there’s a rationale behind it like getting more users out of the pissed off people viewing nonfunctional links to twitter or something
Looks like France got a jump on celebrating Wrath Month.
I think a lot of people will be fooled by RFK Jr.
He was for student loan forgiveness which is a nonstarter for me.
You took out the loan like a dumbass, too bad. Government should not be in the loan business. At all.
Only private Universities should give student loans.
The west is close to death.
The west is being reborn QUEER. Celebrate.
It’s trannies all the way down
Things in France are so far gone that at this point there’s two choices, come down hard with live ammunition -Mohammed be damned or hoist the white flag of surrender.
I know they’ll fuck around with some middling option for a while but in the end it comes down to the initial two options
It’s hard to imagine they’ll be able to show live coverage of the Tour de France without mentioning the riots or seeing the results of it in smoldering ruins.
Every Muslim in France with a grievance (which is every Muslim in France) will see the TV cameras covering the Tour as their chance to shine by doing what they do best and I’m not talking about riding a bike because obviously Mohammed did not ride a bike.
I sense an old joke about the IRA running a filling station, and someone “…’blowing up’ the tyres” coming back and being repurposed for French Muslims.
The frenchmen are a peculiar race.
They fight with their feet.
And fuck with their face.
You know how to pick out a french rifle?
It’s the one covered in mud.
Maybe James Taylor can go save them.
And John Kerry.
Let’s send both and see
Let’s not be hasty. There are a lot more people we should be sending on this peace mission.
The main problem with “student loans” is that it’s money spent for a shit product – degrees in Advanced Worthlessness. Any “loan forgiveness” should come directly from the colleges and universities.
Romacita’s link at the end of yesterday’s thread is incredible.
Guys like that simply do not suddenly keel over dead. This is insane, when are people going to fucking wake up? I bet all the TV people he kept injecting are sweating bullets.
Amid the many (man!) reasons loan forgiveness is a bad idea – the BIGGEST one (imho) is that it will drive up the price of college.
Come on, healthy people in their forties keel over dead all the time! Always have been and always will. I’ve been stepping around their dead bodies my whole life.
We got a kitty condo so Josie the rescue pussycat could get up near the window in my office without risking traumatic injury trying to get back down from the desk. She has not left her new throne much at all.
“My new motto shall be “Fac stulta, disco”.”
I’m guessing that’s something like “I learn by doing dumb things”?
You guys know if the riots have extended to Nice? My sister-in-law left two days ago for a French immersion camp in that area.
Any Western country importing muslims is … you fill in the rest.
We all know it’s true.
Another cute game pharma plays to make their products pass clinical trials. Using fraudulent “placebos” that are no such thing. A placebo is supposed to be inert, harmless. But if they did that, they wouldn’t be able to juice up injuries in the “placebo” group to make their products look (falsely) safer.

Hungary has not forgotten the Ottomans.
I don’t know who said it, but someone known to many said Big Pharma is the peoples number one enemy.
But Pharma can’t do what they’ve been doing with our POS government.
Mare, from my understanding, oui. Thanks Scott. Check your email.
When I think of that dolt, John Kerry, bringing James Taylor to France I get sickened by the stupidity and ridiculousness of our government.
Hmmmm, thanks, Oso.
Paris is a gorgeous city, and the countryside of France is spectacular, it’s like our wine country but of course, older. The smaller cites have such beautiful churches, streets, charming store fronts, etc..
There’s a reason France is well, France and people love it.
To think they are trashing so many places…uffffffffffff. More history possibly being destroyed.
Somebody on the pet thread at mothership wrote that after their chicken ate a dead mouse they didn’t collect her eggs for a few days.
Why? Can something be transmitted that way?
Not likely, Lumps. If the chicken isn’t sick the eggs are probably fine. A dead mouse is no more grotesque than mealworms.
CATCHICKEN the Dark Tractor Avenger.
Well, I just saw a short video of the rioters in a zoo. Mother effers.
Could someone school me? I thought European countries had very strict gun laws. Why did I just watch a rioter on a rooftop aim a rife at someone below?
Were they given guns?
I’m sure this bullshit riot stuff was planned and paid for so I’m assuming the usual suspects are getting guns to the nuts.
Just came across this again.
The entitled affirmative action, bitch.
Oh FFS, Fox news tweeted that Greta Thunberg was a world leader.

Given the number of firearms that were floating around after two world wars, I’d be surprised if half the continent couldn’t equip and field their own squad with crew-served weapons..

Today’s happy fun project: figure out why my refrigerator doesn’t work and see if I can repair it without breaking it, electrocuting myself, or spending more than the value of the appliance. Pray for Oso.
Try jiggling the handle.
Refrigerators are really pretty simple devices (at least older ones that don’t speak to the internet). First, does the compressor run? If it does, but it isn’t cooling, clean the heat transfer coils in the back. Still not cooling? Either you’ve lost your refrigerant or the compressor is shot and not compressing the refrigerant. If the compressor isn’t running, it’s either a mechanical issue with the compressor itself, or an electrical problem getting power to the compressor when the thermostat says to run.
That’s where I’d start the troubleshooting, anyway.
Solenoid.
I don’t actually know what that means but it’s a fun word and I like to say it at times like these
https://thepostmillennial.com/boston-university-encourages-students-to-seek-therapy-after-supreme-court-rulings
“These three decisions form part of a lengthy sequence of this court’s ruling which steadily erodes the rights of marginalized communities and undermines the very diversity upon which our nation was built,” the group concluded.
What? Every other day of the year, you assholes say the country was founded on white supremacy. 1619 project? Hello?
Diversity was so foundational to this country that it was 93% white in 1950.
“Refrigerators are really pretty simple devices (at least older ones that don’t speak to the internet).”
No internet, but it does have a digital display so I assume there’s a computer in there somewhere.
The heat transfer coils in the back are dusty, but nothing out of control. I wiped them down the best I could. The compressor fan is working. Pretty sure the circulation can on the inside is busted, but if that were the only issue, I would expect at least parts of the interior to be cold. Also, the freezer isn’t cold either, and they run on independent systems.
So I’m guessing it’s the compressor, which the internet tells me should be hot to the touch, and it isn’t.
“Either you’ve lost your refrigerant or the compressor is shot and not compressing the refrigerant. If the compressor isn’t running, it’s either a mechanical issue with the compressor itself, or an electrical problem getting power to the compressor when the thermostat says to run.”
Yeah. I will try to buy and install a new compressor. No idea what I’m getting myself into.
Well there was that one muslim who helped Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence.
Man did I get a good sunburn today. The central shirt-scoop of my upper back. Wow. I’m keeping a damp washcloth on it and it’s helping.
Soaking water on any burn from heat or sun is the best remedy.
I have a meat-up pic of Leon and me. Who remembers how to put them where the general public doesn’t see it? I’m going to upload it to the media folder but not link it.
I’ll get it in a bit, when I’m on computer. will be a link in meat locker. if you have any other info send to me in email, or post it and I’ll delete
Would aloe help your sunburn, Lumps?
Did I say how much I love the NASA mission pic?
i have a huge aloe plant. Wish it could help. I always used aloe on a sunburn, always soothes it, and it doesn’t usually peel if it’s minor
new link in meat locker. Let me know about any changes necessary
I’m guessing that’s something like “I learn by doing dumb things”?
“Act foolishly, discover”.
I think y’all can piece the idiomatic version together.
Danielle enjoyed redolent perfumes.
