They made sure the military looked like crap on parade. A lot of units weren’t in dress uniform and the marching was noted as sloppy where it looked on purpose.

I was actually really impressed with how they pulled that off. When you get really, really skilled at something, it becomes more and more difficult to intentionally perform terribly at it.

Looking like trash when they are, in reality, the complete 180° opposite of trash, was in itself an incredible display of skill lol

I don’t think the population is as hopelessly divided as the social media spaces make it out to be, but at the same time, the federal government looks more and more unrecoverable from corporate interests and back to the people every single day. It’s probably past the point of return, excepting major societal shakeup.

It feels like there may come a point where the states that are large enough to be countries on their own start looking into any mechanisms that would allow them separation, just to be able to run themselves without federal interference and incompetence.

I’ll use something real that I like about them, but to be clear, it’s still 99.9% money and 0.1% that other thing lol

Get a back and shoulder loofah and call it a day (not endorsing this one, just using it as an example of what I’m talking about).

We just might be able to stop repeating negative history in 60-100 year phases all the time, due to the overwhelming majority of people having living memory of those events, instead of a handful of people due to the restrictions of the human life span.

Hey, I’m heading into my late 40s and I haven’t been able to say that yet lol

Aqua-bushman?

He’s parting a red-lighted dry ice cloud sea.

I don’t see much talk of Lemmy on Reddit, but I’m primarily only on Reddit for a small handful of niche subreddits where no one talks about these things anyway.

That’s pretty good romance language gibberish. The kind that looks like it should mean something but you’re ten words in and your brain goes, “no meaning detected in this writing.”

It’s also kind of weird that Dale really, really looks like 1990s Gary Cole, but according to IMDB, Gary Cole only did a one episode guest spot on that show.

Comes with a fresh glass of blue milk as well apparently. Paging Luke Skywalker!

I’ve noped out on entire office days before where I’ve been “digestively energetic” so to speak. I’m not putting myself or coworkers through that at the office.

With jobs, it’s just the job market right now. Companies aren’t interested in keeping good relations with applicants. Expect to just never hear back on a significant number of your applications.

Never in the history of me sending thumb responses in work chats has it ever meant “whatever you say you fucking dumbass.”

It’s primarily used to show acknowledgement. It’s the office worker equivalent of “10-4.”

Seems like you have some pretty serious projection issues to work out OP lol

This is what a pikachu looks like when it’s sliding into home.

Well she’s standing on the wrong side of the stove top where the gas lines and such go, so she already wasn’t off to the best start here.

(The bird just happened to show up in every result. Idk why.)

Probably because a crapton of the training data came from versions of The Lion King and Kimba the White Lion, and a bird is hanging out with the baboon and ape characters in those? No idea for sure, just a guess.

Record scratch

“You might be wondering how I got here…”

I had no idea of the intentions, but history of the internet says there was maybe 1% chance of being pure and 99% chance of being something malicious, so I just ignored it, figuring it was a bot to dm everyone it could find on the platform.
