Hey, you know what cities are rated more dangerous than Chicago? Memphis, Birmingham, and Little Rock. But is he going to send National Guard there? No. Why? Because this was never about crime or safety.
Also formerly the Krud who moderated on PC Gamer's website, and the Krud who wrote on a site called OD. Any other Kruds, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

"Was it good for you?" - "Nein!" "...out of 10?"
Wait, what?
I went to one school one year that made us do this growing up, and it was a Catholic school (I was not Catholic), not a regular, public, secular school. And just... this is empty lip service at best, and violating the Separation of Church and State at worst.
And shirt has no buttons and the flag is missing stars! o_O
This made me inordinately happy.
Easter Egg that's maybe a vaguely implied spoiler for the TV show Fallout season one: the code someone enters into the computer, 101097, is the date the first Fallout game debuted, October 10th, 1997.
Stupid joke I made over twenty years ago.
#GamerGeekPost Modding a Bethesda game is a bit like voting: you don't have to do it, but if you willingly opt out, you waive the right to meaningfully complain about the default settings.

*squints in confusion* Does this mean he [because of course it is] somehow accessed your account ID?

"4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag (g)The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. (i)The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever."
I don't know, but when I went to Google your book cover to refresh my memory on the tattoo design details (because I was too lazy to walk ten steps to where the book is shelved), right next to your book cover in results was a Brandon Sanderson novel. Which is the first time I'm tempted to read him.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but
I suspected that the lack of a single spoiler about CA:BNW meant it must not be particularly interesting. Good to know about Thunderbolts!
It used to be that referencing an author meant you were well-read; now it just means you can use a search engine. I'm reminded of a famous quote by Jean-Paul Sartre, who once said, "Too Many Requests. Please try again later and refresh page. If problem persists, please contact site owner." So true.
Actual quotes. Imagine the uproar if Biden or Obama had said any of this.
A cleaning company advertised to me saying they would do a 2-hour cleaning of my place for $9. How is that even legal?
Exactly, and while I was writing a story years ago where one had to verify ID before entering their own vehicle, that was also a DYSTOPIAN setting.
No different than checking ID's at the airport? That analogy doesn't withstand the slightest scrutiny. Airports need to keep thousands of people safe, my phone is just for me. Any side-loading is with my approval. Also, do they think airport owners don't let their buddies in w/o checking their ID's?
That and it annoys Musk when people don't use it, so bonus!
I want an LED display on the front of my vehicle that can, with the push of a button, display short messages to other drivers like "turn your lights on," "it's green," "got turn signals?" and "don't stop in the roundabout."
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
If you have to announce to people on a regular basis that you are the best or greatest at something, odds are you aren't.
Random unrelated fun fact about Game of Thrones: Jaime Lannister was loyal to the Mad King, up to a point.
Reminds me of my favorite epithet from Luke Cage:
They're all good references, Bront.
Not sure who to credit for this.
That being said, my feed is never FULL of those posts, so that is sus AF. At the very least, he should be complaining to someone if it keeps happening. Randomness exists, and sometimes things get pushed that doesn't align with our interest. But if his recs are "Oops! All Toxic Bros!" That's bad.
I'll block something like that and click "Why was I shown this?" and it will say "this person has paid us to show this to all white dudes over 40." My likes/views on YT are very left-leaning but it still tries to show me Bill Maher because I watch clips of comedians calling him out for being awful.
Pessimist: "The glass is half empty." Optimist: "The glass if half full." Optometrist: "Which glass looks fuller: this one.... *switch*... or THIS one... *switch* again, this one... or..."

Folding it's brilliant, I've never seen anyone do that. I agree they're tasty. Like I said, I know it's irrational, I think it's mostly just the 'bun garnish' that gets to me. I think perhaps if I were more accustomed to restaurants making jokes, I'd be more on board. (It IS a joke, right? The bun?)
These stupid 'sandwiches' make me irrationally* mad every time I see them; the oversized novelty sombrero of sandwiches, the patties getting bigger each year as if to say "GET IT?" Yes, very clever, now please get rid of the bread garnish. (* - irrational because I know it's not worth caring about.)
I honestly don't know why the cable version is delayed two minutes, and I'm mildly frustrated that I'll never know.
I can't honestly say "I enjoy any type of beverage."
Galadriel: "To you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the Light of Eärendil, our most beloved star... and a boot to the head." *THWAP*
I think someone may have abandoned their cat in our apartment stairwell. Or maybe it's our neighbors cat, I'm not sure. I had to get to work but I keep thinking about it
Yeah, I exercise* *Carry 100lbs. of groceries up the stairs at once rather than take multiple trips.

Honestly, I would settle for down 105%, so instead of $40 for a prescription, they'll pay me two bucks.
Indeed: "Why do you want us to hide this job?" Me: "It's a Veterinary Technician job. I'm not a Veterinary Technician." Indeed: "Oh, okay. We won't show you Veterinary Technician jobs going forward." Me: "Thank you." Indeed: "Good news! We found you a Certified Veterinary Technician job!" Me:
*talking, not taking.
My tongue taking to my stomach after eating pimento mac and cheese with hot Nashville chicken strips, onions, jalapeños, bacon, and shredded cheese:
Person: "Do you have a current picture of yourself?" Me: "Since I'm not on a live feed, no."
Per the new law, I've given up texting while driving, which frees me up to resume my true passion, handwriting heartfelt postcards while driving.
Website: "Invalid email, please use a more mainstream email service like Outlook or Gmail." My 27-year-old Hotmail account:
Right! A lot of the songs that I eventually hear I first hear through him either as a parody or a polka.
Weird Al said in an interview that one of the reasons he doesn't do parodies anymore is because there are no definitive hit songs nowadays to parody, but I think he has it backwards because I had never heard the song "Ridin'" until he did "White and Nerdy." His parodies breathe life into songs.
Hot juicy take no one asked for: I don't get why Portillo's focuses on promoting their hot dogs. I don't know anyone who goes there for the hot dogs. The Italian Beef is their real draw. There are better hot dog places out there, if one even ever actively seeks out a "good hot dog place."
Whenever someone asks me if I've watched the Planet Of the Apes remakes, I say "Not my monkeys, not my Serkis."
I would reply, "Citation needed."

Me: "How are allergies today?" AI: "Pollen allergies are done for the year." Me: *suspicious squint* AI: "I mean. Except grass pollen, which is literally everywhere and very high today." Me: "You have a rather generous definition of 'done'..."
Based on my preliminary research on serotonin levels in bivalve mollusks, it seems safe to say that I am not quite as happy as a clam.
"But you don't really care for music, do you?" Is one of the more passive aggressive song lyrics I've heard. It would be like if in the American Gothic painting instead of a pitchfork, he was holding a sign that says, "Admit it, this is wasted on you."
I heard there was a secret hoard That Wendy's had that you could order But you don't really care for menus, do ya? It starts with patties fourth and fifth, A chicken patty in the mix, With onion rings you ordered off-menu, yeah, Off-menu, yeah, Off-menu, yeah, Off-menu, yeah, Off-menuuuuuu, yeah...
"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

Me when I eat two Skittles at once without checking to see what flavor they are:
"Hey, information superhighway version 4.0, what's the allergy situation near me this morning?" Artificial Information: "It's low." Me: "Oh, good." Artificial Information: "Oh, except grass pollen, that's ridiculously high." Me:
Food is plentiful, but is thrown away for profit. Solar energy can be plentiful, but is restricted for profit. Human talent and skill is plentiful, but is bypassed by AI for profit. Knowledge is plentiful, but is paywalled for profit. Utopia is prevented by those who prefer to profit off dystopia.
This has happened to me so many times, I can't even think of a solitary example. I think I may have once spoken less than glowingly about Crumbl™ cookies, and was subsequently challenged to a duel.
It takes a unique talent to find cabinet members so incredibly unsuited to their tasks. I don't think I'd be able to find someone I know who doesn't know what Hurricane Season is, let alone that it exists.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents
FB: "People You Might Know: Andrew Tate" Me:
Just saw "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning," aka "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 2: Seriously If You Haven't Seen Part 1 Maybe Do That First Then See This Or Don't Say We Didn't Warn You Oh Wait You're Saying We DIDN'T Warn You And This Is Krud's Fake Title Gone Awry? Fair Enough."
F. All but A. Sidenote, everyone at work today seemed a bit "off", so maybe the moon is waning over candicorn while Mercury is into retro games.
Why end of penny manufacturing doesn't mean we round prices from 99 cents to a dollar or other intervals of five: 1. There are still billions of pennies. 2. Credit, debit, gift cards and checks can all do individual certs. 3. five items @ 99 cents is $4.95. 4. Sales tax will screw up totals anyway.
[And yes, if I were to completely give up those Doritos 600 times (which is at most twice a week), then by the year 2031 I'd have saved up that $1500 for the car repairs, but that's just absurd plus it can't wait that long.]
"Oh, you can't afford car repairs, but you can afford to buy Doritos?!" Yes. That's how prices work
As the wind rattled the windows, it occurs to me that if someone really wanted to kill me, all they would probably have to do is bang on the window late at night at the office while I'm here by myself and give me a heart attack. (Note: please don't do this. Thank you!)
ICYMI: Efficiency expert Musk started to dig a high-speed underground tunnel to go from downtown Chicago to O'Hare, spent half a billion dollars on it, then got bored with it, walked away from the project and bought Twitter instead.
I'm tired of people unfairly equating Trump's White House to a reality TV show. Reality TV shows create jobs, they allow criticism, they don't destroy entire brands, they are aware of what they are, and people aren't obligated to participate.
He is such a sore winner.
Except the people in charge in Idiocracy actually wanted things to improve.
30 years from now: "Okay class, last week in Silly Ideas That Trump Got Rid Of To Make Us Great, we talked about Checks and Balances. This week we're going to talk about The Emoluments Clause, which Trump expertly shot down with his logic, 'If someone offers you a free jet, you take the free jet.'"
(Based on my FB experience, false advertising is the de facto standard now, so...)
