Good choice. There used to be this really affectionate male cat we called Fink. He really wanted to be an indoor cat again but we already had cats.

One day we come home and we notice our cats are freaking out, hissing and hiding. Turns out Fink just scaled up to the second story to let himself in through the patio. No footholds or nothing, he just used his claws and shimmeed up.

That one day he was just sitting there on the couch, acting like he had every right to be there.

One day we stopped seeing Fink. I hope he found a home.

My apartment recently went no smoking inside. It does make sense. You get tar build up on everything and it's horrible for your lungs and your pets.

Pot smoke ain't better, but presumably most people don't smoke bud like they'd smoke ciggs. I ain't one of those people.

And as nasty as hotboxing your own place with weed, it's kinda shitty for neighbors trying to raise their kids and whatnot have to see you Snoop Doggin it on the patio.

So it seems reasonable to me, except is there a place for people to smoke ciggs in San Fran anymore. Ironically now you can no longer blow a fag in your San Franciscan apartment.

I am shocked shocked shocked nobody else has an opinion on this. This is huge whether you think Trump is an assclown or a golden god.

By every single goddamned metric, Bush W was a far worse President. He attacked 2 wrong countries, wasted 6 trillion+ bucks doing that, responsible for a million deaths, he trashed the economy.... he did everything you don't want a President to do.

Yet not only were people not outraged, he got reelected.

Whatever people think about Trump, good or bad, Bush W was so much worse and no one cares.

A few sites are putting really obnoxious big banners across their sites asking you not to use adblockers just from Brave. IGN comes to mind.

I know at least as of two decades ago they still did physical tails in the US. I got followed for a little bit for knowing people who knew people under investigation. That was different. They weren't even trying to be subtle. Or they sucked at it.

You've heard of the csi effect I'm sure. Could be the law and order effect also. People imagine what they see on tv ... ok, they're not idiots, they get it's mostly faked. What they don't get is that it's completely faked.

The cops here won't even pull local cc footage if your car gets robbed. CSI isn't descending on the crime scene. They'll take a report so you can make an insurance claim.

So yeah, maybe it's actually a lot less technical than what we may think.

I love when my games let me know just how woke they are.

I like reading sci fi and sometimes when I'm just trying to read about space marines killing aliens there's sometimes, occasionally fucking. There's a reason why I'm reading sci fi rather than romance novels. Whatever, I guess I can deal. But sometimes very descriptive sex scenes. It's just awkward when in one chapter they're killing alien invaders and in the next there's suddenly 3 pages of awkwardly written fucking.

Now I'm no prude. I like fucking as much as the next man. More even. Just... these two things remind me of each other. I'm not playing video games for a social message, and I'm not reading books about space marines to read about fucking.

Just another thought on these aged nuclear stockpiles... ICMBs are like spaceship launches but with nukes. Would you expect a spaceship built in 1965 to still work?

Here's an interesting conspiracy theory: nuclear detente was only ever a convenient way for nations to not have to explain why so many multibillion dollar nukes weren't worth scrap.

AmericanMuskrat · 2020-12-02T10:42:40+00:00

Russia can't launch its arsenal. That shit ain't been maintained since Gorbachev. They'd end up nuking themselves. I don't know our situation is all that much better but I imagine we have far better documentation on what is and isn't deployable. China is in the same boat as Russia except for a different reason, their nukes are cheap Chinese crap and they know it. One thing we never exported to China apparently was quality control.

So I predict no nuclear armageddon and Joe Biden is inaugurated without issue.
