Yep. He's "partly joking" about everything right up until the second he isn't.

The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22% since 2007, a sustained decline not readily explained by economic conditions, contraceptive use, housing or childcare costs, or other commonly cited factors.

"I will now present no evidence whatsoever that falling birth rates haven't been driven by economic factors." Bull shit.

Fucking unhinged. We've had what, three? "once in a lifetime" crashes since 2007, with skyrocketing housing prices and costs of living vs comparatively flat wage growth. Inequality is rising, fascism is making a comeback around the globe, we've likely already hit numerous climate tipping points, child labour laws are being rolled back, oligarchs are floating bringing back corporate towns, but sure champ, people having easier access to porn is responsible for lower birth rates...

Literal concentration camps

He became the subject of considerable international media coverage after escaping from his enclosure

Wait, so their enclosure was shitty enough that the gorilla could've left any time but didn't until he was provoked, and their solution wasn't to fix the cage, but to make everyone wear silly glasses?

Garage sales! Holy shit garage sales used to be so fucking awesome. As a 12-15 year old I scored so much computer stuff dirt cheap at garage sales, along with books and music. Just about every Saturday in the summer you could see me with a box precariously balanced or a shopping bag hanging from my bike's handlebars.

Nowadays everything worth more than a couple bucks goes up on FB marketplace and Kijiji, and the only stuff anyone puts in a garage sale is actual garbage that the thrift stores wouldn't even put on the shelf.

I'm honestly more surprised that JWs and Christian Scientists are listed under "Christian" than that Mormons aren't. All of those are considered cults, rather than legitimate denominations, by mainstream Christianity (Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant).

"Don't mess with Texas, it might be contagious"

Froot Loops has always been that way. Back when I was a kid, they only had three colours - red, orange, and yellow - and I remember being bothered that they had to repeat one of them. Problem got solved when they rolled out green.

But it isn't July yet

the sources claim that the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive

Oh good, that'll bring it all the way up to a third as responsive as the Windows 7 one was.

Yep. They want desperate people.

... but not too desperate; clients might be scared off if the parking lot is full of rusted out 90s econboxes...

I've found countless spray bottles where the straw goes straight down and ends 10-15mm above even the raised hump in the middle of the bottom.

Makes me feel like a piece of shit saying it, but those kids are probably better off dead rather than being raised in an antivaxxer household where they're going to be indoctrinated with all that idiotic bullshit, forced to attend "parties" with diseased kids to intentionally catch their illnesses, probably have no chance at higher education thanks to shitty religious based homeschooling, take a bunch of quack medicine when they are ill ranging from useless to actively harmful, and possibly experience permanent damage from a preventable disease. Just seems like a lifetime of needless suffering.

I'm actually not convinced he isn't an AI himself, loaded into a creepy humanoid robot.

Y'all remember that Big Arch video? Dead eyed uncanny valley looking motherfucker couldn't even take a proper bite of the delicious "product."

Yeah this became obvious when most of the right wing stopped supporting Ukraine overnight a few weeks into the war

Trump doesn't need violence from moderates and progressives to "justify" escalating. MAGA has been escalating since day one, and inventing whatever pretext they want out of thin air to justify it.

Yeah and that's also bullshit

Civil War 2.0 is already under way.

Based on the tremendous lack of meaningful action (no, peaceful protests don't count) we've seen from ostensibly progressive 'Murricans claiming to be fed up with this shit, I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Fucking seriously. Internet armchair psychiatrists are nuts.
