IvanOverdrive,

Now do whatnow!? Are we still doing phrasing? That still a thing?

IvanOverdrive,

I got lucky with my wife, but had I known then what I now know of Japanese divorce law, I wouldn’t have rolled those dice. I just hope this means Japan is going to start shared custody when one parent is a foreigner.

IvanOverdrive,

It’s probably not Modi himself who ordered the killing. More like one of his peons lower on the totem pole. It might even be someone outside the government paid some bakshish to said peon.

IvanOverdrive,

Sorry, but what do you mean by ik weapons?

IvanOverdrive,

EA might just be responsible for an increase in literacy. Why play corpo trash when you can, I dunno, read books?

IvanOverdrive,

And the right wing media industrial complex is going to cancel this dude like he never existed.

Police make arrests in killing of B.C. [Canada] Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar (www.cbc.ca)

Canadian police have arrested members of an alleged hit squad investigators believe was tasked by the government of India with killing prominent Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C. last June, CBC News has learned....

IvanOverdrive,

Asked if there are any Indian “sleeper agents” in Canada, Teboul said it’s a “great question” but he can’t say more about it because it’s “very much at the centre of evidence and ongoing investigations.”

This does not bode well for the Indian diaspora in Canada. I worry that anyone a shade darker than Toronto snow is going to be the focus of xenophobia.

IvanOverdrive,

On the plus side, I have rediscovered my joy of reading.

IvanOverdrive,

who smells like shit.

That’s not fair. He smells like a combination of ketchup and shit.

IvanOverdrive,

6 months! Ha. Yeah. Wait… you think unity is going to last 6 more months!?

IvanOverdrive,

Another Jan. 6? Like the chaos that is currently unfolding from the baker’s dozen of MAGA protestors outside the courthouse?

IvanOverdrive,

I doubt Netanyahu will agree. As soon as the war stops, he’ll face corruption charges. On top of that he wants the genocide.

CSIS had officer investigated after she reported a superior raped her (www.cbc.ca)

A CSIS officer’s allegation that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman....

IvanOverdrive,

I guess this has something to do with Minecraft.

IvanOverdrive,

A big part of belonging to a cult is acting out the communal lie. It’s a way to signal inclusion despite being antithetical to reality.

A Russian pacifist helped Ukrainians flee the country. Then the Kremlin caught him (www.theguardian.com)

Since the start of the war over two years ago, a discreet network of unofficial Russian volunteers like Demidenko has sprung up that have helped tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees displaced by the war to get out of Russia. Many of the Ukrainians were forcibly deported to Russia or ended up in the country after finding no...

IvanOverdrive,

There always that one downvote when you speak the truth.

IvanOverdrive,

Hold up. Bigfoots were American long before the white man came. They deserve their vote, especially in the swing states. They tend to vote Democrat.

IvanOverdrive,

And Wendigos are full on maga.

IvanOverdrive, (edited )

I thought iHeartMedia sounded familiar. Does this mean I have to unsubscribe from Stuff You Should Know? Cause that would suck.

IvanOverdrive,

Yeah. Sounds like something the CCP would do. Also sounds like a narrative O’Toole would tell himself to explain away what happened, especially since there is no evidence.

IvanOverdrive,

That tree looks like the stranger on the street who offers to babysit your daughters for free.

IvanOverdrive,

It’s an unpaired word. The same reason why we never describe someone as “hinged”.

IvanOverdrive,

Only because Eric hasn’t figured out how to turn the hot water on yet.

IvanOverdrive,

Probably shouldn’t have put her in Lady Ballers. Welp, too late to do anything about that shit.

IvanOverdrive,

And schadenfreude is the leftover discharge from anal sex. Named after former US senator and moral crusader Rick Schadenfreude.

IvanOverdrive,

I would also like to point out after Rittenhouse had murdered two people, he was photographed flashing a white power symbol wearing a “free as fuck” t-shirt with the Proud Boys.

There isn’t a doubt in my mind he went to that protest to murder.

IvanOverdrive,

NBCnews put on their clown makeup on for this one. This is the last NBC clickbait I ever click on.

IvanOverdrive,

Russia has been known to fluff their numbers. 300? Probably not. 30? Maybe. 3. Most likely. Could even be 0.3.

IvanOverdrive,

I’ve never heard of Krita before, and now twice in one day. Please tell me why?

IvanOverdrive,

Imagine if you will you have a direct communication link with God. He tells ya, “You’re gonna be the prez of the US, Mikey.” And then this orange turd of human being says, “Be my vice prez, and you’ll be one heart attack way from the Oval Office.” All you have to do is give up the entire moral structure you’ve based your life around. But God said it would happen, right?

Then the bronze shit stain tries to get you killed because you have one, single, last thread of what you were that even God himself wouldn’t ask for you to give up. But still there’s that hope. “But God said…” So you hang on while the golden idol’s flying monkeys boo you every time you step in front of a crowd. You hang onto hope until finally you realize what you thought was God --in fact-- was your own inner dialog bouncing around the insides of your cavernous skull.

That’s why Pence, after it was all said and done, finally won’t endorse the antichrist.

IvanOverdrive,

With the amount of dudes I see in this country walking away from the urinal, rinsing their hands without soap, and then using said hands to gargle, I’m not surprised strep is running rampant. Guess it’s time to put the mask back on. FML.

IvanOverdrive,

Says you! I shoot my nail gun at workers on telephone poles because I don’t want them to fall.

IvanOverdrive,

And even if these autocracies would be stupid enough to use nuclear weapons then we’ve still got systems for intercepting ballistic missiles in-flight in the upper atmosphere.

Hol’ up. We’ve got systems. None that actually work. Hitting an ICBM is like hitting a needle in a haystack with a needle in a haystack. I’m sure we’ve made progress since the 80s Star Wars programs. But even if a fraction of the nukes detonate where they are supposed to, that’s the end of civilization.

Does hosting the Olympics, the World Cup or other major sports events really pay off? (phys.org)

After a long battle, Paris’s beloved bouquinistes will be staying put this summer. The decision, announced on 13 February by the French government, came after considerable public backlash to the police prefecture’s original plan to move part of the iconic Seine booksellers elsewhere for the inauguration of the Olympics Games...

IvanOverdrive,

Let’s also not forget the IOC is incredibly corrupt. They demand that bids get higher and higher. Hosting is always a gamble. The bigger the bid, the more likely the host will lose.

IvanOverdrive,

I’m thinking of setting up a chatGPT recommender for banned books. Are there any good databases anyone can recommend? Especially one with the regions they are banned in?

IvanOverdrive,

Your comments and abusive phone calls hurt me,” Brewer’s Pantry posted on social media Friday.

This is the exact opposite of how to deal with right wing assholes.

IvanOverdrive,

I love me some Mass Effect, but it’s less “choices matter” and more “illusion of choice”.

IvanOverdrive,

Engineers make Star Trek tech because people want to live in Star Trek. No one (besides Zuck) wants to live in Ready Player One.

IvanOverdrive,

new technology is used to spread two things: religious dogma war and porn.

Religion might be a distant third.

Canadian police won't investigate doctor for sterilizing Indigenous woman (abcnews.go.com)

The Canadian government says it is urgently trying to end the forced sterilization of Indigenous women, describing the practice as a human rights violation and a prosecutable offense. Yet police say they will not pursue a criminal investigation into a recent case in which a doctor apologized for his “unprofessional conduct”...

IvanOverdrive,

The primary reason for our horsey police is to detain and control the indigenous population. They fill the rest of their working hours writing speeding tickets, arresting addicts, and pretending to fulfill the social contract.

Police declined to investigate the forced sterilization of a native? Color me surprised
