I actually liked when Stabler was on SVU way back when - the name being at complete odds with the character’s personality alone was pure genius.

And where has that mentality been since?

Just so long as it wasn’t after midnight.

For those who may be unaware, “Gizmo” was the name of the initial cute creature before things went horribly wrong in the movie Gremlins because he was inadvertently fed after midnight.

Was looking for the last sentence to be “Ask me how I know.” 😁

Personally, I’d rather be dumb, unaware, happy, & have somebody who loved me ensuring that all my needs were met.

“My Boomer rang. Told him to get tossed.”

“painful but you get to continue living”

Why bother?

Don’t kiss it.

Alien.

Oh, wait…

I want a job in porn. I’m already (un)dressed for it.

Especially those of us who prefer to read over watching videos.

The more I learn about the shitty shady things this admin has been up to, the more ashamed of being an American I get - just when I thought I couldn’t get more ashamed.

Politicians being politicians. Tell me… what’s “changed”?

Just building up the kid’s imagination by helping him “fly.”

Donald Trump and the Republicans are insisting the economy is great and unhappy Americans are deluded. Just like Democrats under Joe Biden, they’re lying to themselves and everyone else — and will eventually pay the price.

Not until the rest of us have paid way more than they EVER will.

About fucking time somebody took action!

Violence begets violence & usually just results in mutually assured destruction if the overall balance of strengths is relatively similar (they have money, military, & now hired thugs, we mostly just have numbers and decentralization).

I recommend subterfuge and sabotage instead - particularly by those programming & managing all the computers that make everything happen nowadays.

a.k.a. “business as usual” when the government that’s supposed to be policing such behavior had become primarily focused upon doing it themselves.

Those who make for the best leaders very rarely want to be leaders.

If I knew about that beforehand, I’d probably be much less likely turn it on to begin with. If I learned the hard way, I’d likely be dissuaded from ever trying it again & just get one of those other apps. Conversely, the fact that my current phone boots much faster than older ones did makes it not really as off-putting an issue at it once was. It sounds like a major PITA until you realize that.
