Anyone being flippant about psychological torture knows absolutely nothing about psychological torture and their opinions about it can be discarded.

Jesus fucking christ just read some Wikipedia articles and be horrified that humans do shit like this to each other.

Sleep deprivation alone is no fucking joke.

My brother in law, without skipping a beat: "obviously he meant Micronesia"

My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: "So you're okay with a president who's so cognitively vacant he can't tell the difference between two very different sounding words?"

Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.

Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.

I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

Oddly, I did not get the job

Every single fucking time: THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER COMMUSOCIALMARXISM!

endless pictures of current capitalism conditions, usually centered around homeless people

Yeah, it sure is a good thing we have capitalism to make sure that every person is taken care of and nobody gets fed to the orphan grinding machine.

See, he ASSUMES there's "no way to win" and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they're "against republicans/trump/whoever"

Why?

Because that's exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can't imagine a world where someone else isn't just as shitty as they are.

Projection. Insecurity.

I mean, there's no way to win, but that's because this is one of those things that can't be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I'm not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

This will be much less funny when it's the black bag squad roaming around in unmarked vans kidnapping people for not having Trump's mark on them.

My dad legitimately thinks that's a great action movie. And to be fair, it is.

But he doesn't understand the deeper meanings.

More meat for the grinder is totally just a bad ass thing to say! Not at all like an orphan crushing machine, for sure.

My mother in law is absolutely convinced that democrats are going to go marching around with guns to drag her and her family out into the street to be executed.

If she realized there was still space to the left of "Democrat" on the politician field she'd have an aneurism.

That and they have way more free time to play endless hours of that game...

Who said she's not also an atheist? The woman was just outside the mall crying, the person who "found $200" is the one who is praising a god.

When the bird opens its beak to grab you, cram the cinnamon stick in as hard as you can and run away.

While it's coughing up cinammon, you can quickly grab a No Hunting sign and plop it down. This way the bird knows it can't hunt for food in this area and will have to move on.

They probably use that to filter out people who know their rights.

Sounds like an employer that needs investigated by several departments.
