We get to choose between Coke and Pepsi, when what we really need is a nice clean glass of water.

Combining "company quarterly review" with "dental cleaning", while time efficient, is a kind of sensory combo that's right up there with "nuts and gum". Sounds great until you think it through a bit.

Edit: I've actually done the latter by accident. 1/10 - "I don't know what I expected."

It's absolutely a gut biome thing. By eating more of the good stuff, there's less room for the rest: less refined sugar, less animal protein, and less saturated fats. Basically displace all the stuff that we already know isn't exactly great for us.

The brilliance of all things Gundam is that, no matter how much you try, any themed Gundam is still not as bad as the worst in the show's canon.

if a mask is necessary

I'm not sure if this will be the case, but does that cover the case where they're the reason? Because that's one way to ensure escalation to "tear gas on hand, everywhere, at all times."

Hah! Wyoming has moved from the middle of the Western states to the Mid-West. I think they get partial credit for that one.

Skip straight to step 3. Just call 911. These guys aren't fucking around, and neither should you.

Right! There was a point in the middle of it where if you squinted your eyes and turned your head a little, you could almost believe that the WBC was trying to push people into organizing like this. Their whole thing was so over-the-top, it beggared belief sometimes.

Photographer is hiding in plain sight. Really. I have no idea how they did this.

people feel they can get away with more in joke form and hence are more likely to share their true beliefs?!

That's true. Usually, it's used in a non-disparaging way though. Like when professional comedians raise political or social issues that are straight-up taboo or too uncomfortable for polite conversation. We laugh, we cry a little, but most importantly, we think and talk about it.

... and it only works if all governments are rational actors that can reliably safeguard their nuclear stockpile. If either of those cease to be true, Bad Things^TM^ happen.

This is what I keep telling the Mrs.

 

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

 

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

 

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
