Anyone ever block a random person just because of their interaction with someone else you follow? Almost 100% chance they'd never interact with me at all, but I don't want to risk it. Anyway I've done it a few times.

I do this all the time, even though I never post anything on Twitter and only use it as an information/humor source and don’t interact with anyone. Overuse of a tired meme or gif is a common blockworthy offense for me. Don’t go bringing a Simpsons meme or Jonah Hill gif onto my timeline unless your content is really good!

Not the least bit shocking that the racist Dixieland states want to watch interracial porn. I just figured they'd be more into the opposite with cuckholding.

Yo! Giantess porn is wild! That was not what I expected. I was thinking more Amazon stuff, but no. It's like if the woman is the size of Godzilla and you're just a little dude trying to fuck her.

Like you guys, i too have spent less than $60k on the combined prices of my two cars. I've never believed in spending much on cars, for the reason given - it is a bad investment.

But, the meme is a bit silly in that it suggests that rich people don't buy expensive cars. We all know that isn't true.

If poor people just saved $60K they don't have and also went without transportation, they'd be rich. I see no errors.

And invested it in a vehicle with a guaranteed ten percent annual rate of return.

The gist was "one reason why consumers are broke and investors are rich," and it compared buying a $60K car, with annual depreciation of fifteen percent, and investing that $60K at a ten percent rate of return. Completely ignoring that (i) almost everyone needs a car anyway, (ii) no "middle class" person buys a $60K car, and (iii) you can't get a ten percent return from any safe investment.

(iv) The graphic of the $60K car was of a Honda Civic or something.



(Anyone else pass on jokes because you don't believe people will know you were joking, like me wanting to label this (iiii)?)

If Trump gets a US soldier killed, is that as big of a deal as it sounds or nah just like everything else?

The NBA is deservedly getting kicked around on Twitter, but it seems that Google and Disney and other businesses are largely getting a pass on this (other than from South Park).

I would like to think that the blood of dead military members would move the needle, but time and again we're reminded that we're expendable and we signed up for this, so I doubt it.

Buuuut... With this Syria/Turkey thing and reports of military members feeling betrayed plus an Atlantic piece about retired generals going in on Trump, I can hope.

On the one hand, maybe it should be a big deal. On the other hand, hasn't every president gotten US soldiers killed?
