  • Miss me with this pussy shit, bitches!

    You need to punch up your comeback game? I gotchu!

    Someone called you a motherfucker? “I found out yo momma so UGLEE her blowjobs count as anal. And she LOOOVES giving me “anal”.”

    Someone called you a rebel without a cause? “At least I’m not a faggot without a dick.”

    Some comebacks that work for almost anything:

    Did you think of that YOURSELF, Einstein?
    You’re dumber than you look.
    You’re not the brightest bulb in the pack, are you?
    You’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
    Did your mommy tell you to say that?
    Are you always an asshole or only on Fridays?
    Are you sure you know what all those words mean?
    I’ve been called worse by better.
    You go out in public with that face?
    Your village called – they want their idiot back.
    You’ll never be the man your mom is.
    Which circus did you escape from?
    Which zoo did you escape from?
    Which ape cage did you escape from?
    Your ass must be pretty jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth.
    Grab a straw, because you suck.
    I don’t have the time or the crayons to explain.
    If you were a spice, you’d be flour.
    It’d be awesome if you used glue instead of Chapstick.











  • This whole thing is confusing to me.

    For me, gen X, growing up it was this:
    Sweatshirt: Non-hooded OR hooded and shirt shaped with NO zipper but made of material that is “fleece”-like on one side and smooth-ish on the other.

    Jacket: zippered thing, long sleeves, usually made of plastic or nylon but the purpose was to wear OVER your clothes as a windbreaker and/or to keep you warm.

    Hoodies did not exist. Things like a sweatshirt, jacket, coat or shirt might have a hood.

    Now, I do not know what the fuck to call shit.

    That is a fucking jirt. Shirtet. Sweatjack. Hoodet. Sweatie. Jackie.





  • My motion switch in the main floor bath also senses light so it does not turn on when it is sunny.
    My motion switches in the basement laundry and garage might also be light sensitive but it is always dark there so I always want them to turn on.
    I think to do what I think you want, I would investigate X10 or other home automation hardware. That stuff lets you program switches so you could set it to never come on during certain times (for example). X10.com
    X10 used to be much cheaper than most other home automation hardware/software.

    I agree that spending more gets better quality tools but I don’t want or need great quality in my junk drawer. Nor do I want to use expensive tools on packaging. The expensive tools go in my tool bag to get used and abused on “real” work.


  • I have a few motion activated lights in my house and really love how convenient those are. One is an in wall light switch and another is a screw in one in a ceiling light socket.

    I also use my pour over coffee set daily. And my coffee grinder.

    I bought a cheap little wire cutter and keep it in my junk drawer. Great for cutting zip ties and twist ties on packaging.

    I keep a water bottle in the fridge. Always have cold water and hardly use glasses. Bring it to the table when you eat.

    Lazy Susan on the dining room table for salt, pepper, toothpicks, pencils, sticky notes, etc.

    Long plastic dollar store shoehorn by the door.

    I get big packs of 3M clean removal hooks from Costco and use them all over the house to hang keys, pants, hats, string lights, jackets, etc.


  • Consumers are getting fucked. Media companies will continue to make it worse while trying to improve their bottom line. How long until it is all pay per view at sky high prices that only keep going up?

    I try to own my media in physical form as much as possible. But I don’t think it will be long until physical is not an available format. Or unaffordable, like vinyl is now.

    We should have resisted and stopped the DMCA. We should stop all media being rental only. But we do not resist, we comply. We bend over and get fucked like the sheeple we are.

    Until consumers take control of their government they will continue to take it up the ass from corporations. They count on you to comply.




  • I’m about to install a reverse osmosis water filter because I want less PFOS (and other crap) in me. I understand this will also get rid of most of the fluoride.

    I assume we’ll be fine because we brush or use fluoride mouthwash daily. But I’d like to hear if anyone thinks otherwise. I’m not opposed to fluoride in water, just wondering how much downside there is to not having it in my water when we do use fluoride otherwise.
