No, fuck that! We spent twenty years nation building there and the first time they needed to stand up on their own the ANA folded up and ran.

They weren’t willing to do the bare minimum to avoid Taliban rule. It’s not our fault they were too stupid to see the consequences when they rolled over and let the fucking cavemen take over.

Same here, but for fiction writing.

If I get stuck in something or need to figure out a character motivation I’m like “dang, I need to take a shower about this”.

Hot on the heels of this one, I’d imagine.

Patents expire. In the long run your inventions would be used for evil.

Wait until you hear about media contagion!

This shit is par for the course.

Proof that if a system or technology exists, nerds will try to run Doom on it.

Where’s your sense of adventure?

They’re like “dang, that’s a neat snake”.

Best we can do is Elon Musk spam.

You. I like you.

This one happened to be made of lead.

Cheddar, if you will.

Besides semi-autonomous (as the other commenter mentioned) wired control is an option for most law enforcement uses.

Knickerbockers, fur coat, bow tie. It’s … distinctive, I’ll give him that.

My favorite turkey recipe is really easy:

A gallon of menstrual blood;

10 long fingernails and a handful of human hair;

Super spicy soba noodles;

A little bottle of gasoline;

A trader’s pack of heroin.

First, you eat all soba because you’d need energy to run fast. Then you enter your neighbors house where you put fingernails and hair on fire using gasoline and watch it slowly burn making the place smell like a crematory. I don’t know where to put menstrual blood here so just make sure to spray it onto everything white like bed linen, curtains, ceiling. And don’t forget to put heroin somewhere stupid cops gonna find it. After everything is ready and consumed, run for your life, kid.

Because Californians love writing laws as a knee jerk reaction to the crime de jour.

Some pearl-clutching local will go to their state legislature and demand that WiFi jamming be banned despite the fact that the FCC is all over that shit. They keep passing redundant gun control laws in the same way for the same reasons.

Ampersand is another good example. “&” was considered the last letter of the alphabet for a while. Schoolchildren would recite the alphabet and finish it with the phrase “and, per se and” (“and, meaning and”).

The words got mashed together over time and the word “ampersand” was born.

“Once they go up who knows where they come down? ‘That’s not my department’ says Wernher von Braun.”

I’m guessing it’s the department of redundancy department, is my guess.

HELL YEAH, BROTHER! AROOOOOO!!
