That’s what he tells all the girls.
Couldn’t take too much of that once I realized that they seemed just as confident about the things they got wrong as they were about the things that they got right.

An armed society is a polite society.
No one made him wear that t-shirt.
Liberal woman asks where she can find liberal men in Florida.
Hilarious answers ensue.
I’m increasingly surprised at the number of these links I’ve seen in my feeds throughout the week.
You’re a bad influence Mr. Thompson
Is it wrong for me to hope that he was aggressively intimidated into giving money?
thus:
The only mistake the officer made was to fire only one round into the “suspect”. Four or five rounds might have eliminated the need for a trial. #CapitalDisposal
Perfect.
Perfectly stupid.
When I up-bugger a link.
That reminds me of an incident in Minnesota in 2021, in which a carjacker was shot dead while trying to carjack a second car. Local BLM vermin started marching and talking of rioting, until someone told them the carjacker was white, at which time they dispersed.
I watch a lot of these sorts of vids (probably more than I should) and it’s by turns entertaining, exasperating, and instructional observing the idiotic behavior of the bystanders. Some people have the survival instincts of depressed lemmings.
If the vehicle in front of you is being carjacked, the appropriate reaction is to pull around said vehicle and leave. If there’s a gun-toting man sprinting toward you and the road in front of you is clear of other vehicles, take your foot off the brake, put it on the gas, and leave.
Of course, if that man is right in front of you, aim right at him. Not only will he probably then be too busy evading you to shoot, if you do manage to run him over you will rid society of a dangerous sub-human.
Carefully finished.
‘Adventures of the Bigfoot Boys.’
Astonishing that a ‘man in a suit’ hasn’t been shot by a hunter yet. Or maybe they have, who’d fess up to it..?
Trying to deafen someone should be an arrestable offence.

This is my innocent face.
I’m still processing the irony of anti-ICE protestors telling a lone, polite man, “You’re not welcome here,” while gleefully assaulting him.
Suboptimal scenario 2.
Call it a draw?
I think the little car fainted.
When ladies come calling.
Gojira!

Urchins.
It’s actually scary how easily they get sucked into this ‘I’m so special’ bullshit.
Two exquisitely tiresome lesbians.
They are made for each other.
I suppose the problem is the self-ratcheting dynamic of identity-status claims, and of wokeness in general – these things are positional goods. It’s very much about in-group positioning, a need to appear sophisticated, as defined by narcissistic inadequates. The choice, to players of the game, is between reality and status.
And once you choose to play, it can get terribly competitive. The ratcheting begins. So now, in 2025, simply being a lesbian couple just doesn’t cut it. It isn’t sufficiently niche, or sufficiently fashionable. And so complications must be invented and announced in order to seem statusful and interesting.
If only to other inadequates.
Awkward moment.
[ Prints enlarged copy. Pastes on door to correction booth. ]
Give them a five minute bench trial, followed by immediate execution out back.
Oops.
Incompetent amateurs. The Dunning-Krueger Tree Service?
Did they come highly recommended?
That’s the way to do it.
Some people are just determined to ensure their lives get needlessly worse.
You’ve got to wonder where that “2.1 kids” number came from, and why it was accepted for so long.
First driving lesson.
@David, what is the timeout setting for your “stay logged in” option? About 30 days?
No idea. And it seems to vary depending on the device. My laptop stays logged in for much longer than my tablet or phone, for instance.
It stays logged-in right up until you want to upvote something, then it logs you out a second before you click the icon.
Road manners.
That right there is the solution to London’s financial problem.
Everyone that fails to stop once a pedestrian is on the crossing is liable for a £100 fixed penalty notice. So get plod involved to stop the cyclist, issue the ticket and impound the bike.
When they want their bike back, they pay storage and transport fees as well.
Win-win.
Can confirm.

She keeps complaining about the colour of his skin and then tells him he’s not welcome.
Is today’s word big fat racist…?
It’s like every woke dysfunction – every bad-faith manoeuvre, every neurotic tic – had been swept into one big demented pile.
And so, they accuse the chap of racism, based on nothing whatsoever, while themselves being overtly, loudly racist towards him. And then, bizarrely, spitefully, and again based on nothing, they accuse him of rape. And then – because it never ends – they demand to know the identity of this polite, non-threatening man while themselves being menacing and wearing masks.
As a snapshot of the type, and of what they represent, it’s quite instructive.
