It’s more weird than awful. It’s not nearly as hot as the lava poops but you can definitely feel it.

Diamond hands!

As a frequent spicy eater with IBS, yes. I’ve had:

• Spicy guts
• Ears ringing
• Fire pee

In addition to the usual sweats, hiccups, and fire poops.

No it’s working great, keep spending money on it. Do people with 6 fingers next. And then maybe an expensive campaign on heterochromia?

We all know Republicans don’t have a real platform so the only thing to do is keep inventing fake ones.

Anything in front of the . is a subdomain: “subdomain.domain.com”.

When webpages new, it was convention to use the subdomain for web traffic. Technically you can still set up your site and make www.mydomain.com different from domain.com, but pretty much everyone just makes one their primary site and then redirects the other one. So you set up www.mydomain.com to redirect to mydomain.com and just use that one for your main site, or vice versa.

The box creates a loop between the time the machine is turned on and the time it’s turned off. Think of it like stretching a rubber band vs. normal time as stretching a cord. The characters would enter at the time the device was turned off and exit at the time it was turned on.

Whaaaaaaat?

Absolutely. There were signs in late 2019 that he was screwing the economy. COVID actually did him a favor by imploding everything and giving him plausible deniability so he could run on the economy he inherited from Obama in 2024 while blaming Biden for the post-COVID economy.

I know these types:

“I need to be on welfare because <reason.> It’s everyone else who’s mooching off the system.”

The cruelty is the point.

Yep, exactly. Which is always why I take the side of the patient in these things.

You won’t let my patient call in a day over a cold? Ok, well it’s a 10 day illness, how does a week off sound? You don’t want that much off? Ok, when’s your next scheduled day off: here’s a long weekend.

My dude with chronic pain needs to be able to switch from sitting to standing as needed, can’t lift more than 10 lbs, needs to take unscheduled breaks as needed, can call out up to 3x/week, and can’t work more than 8 hours a day. Maybe you should have just gotten them the chair?

People tend to underestimate what their actual limitations should be with their medical conditions, so I’m usually putting more restrictions than they actually ask for.

It probably won’t happen.

“But of course Republicans don’t have the balls to do this ad with ‘Shaniqua’ as the villain. Even though that would actually be an accurate portrayal of the problem at hand.”

Jesus fucking Christ

But this was always the case, they’re just now saying the quiet part out loud.

If you write "Star Wars," then the correct answer is "It's a wrap," even though the Star Wars fan will likely think of "It's a trap" first. If you write "Star Trek," then the correct answer is "It's a trap!" which does not come from Star Trek.

You missed BABYLONV.

Evil that “It’s a trap” only works with Star Trek.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Everyone’s just telling you he sucks, but he was actually quite popular back in the day. I loved his music in high school but grew out of it as an adult.

He was considered innovative in that he tried to bring rap and hip hop conventions into rock music: especially spoken work lyrics, sampling, collaborations, a distinct persona (“redneck pimp” - yes, really, etc.

Spoken word by itself became a whole subgenre in the late 90s/early 2000s: Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit followed by POD, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, etc. This subgenre as a whole has aged rather poorly, with even the better bands like Linkin Park being a bit hard to listen to now IMO. However, spoken word sections have persisted in rock and this is perhaps his strongest influence.

What really grew me out of his music was realizing that the stuff I liked was mainly stuff he’d sampled, and what I actually liked was the originals. For example, I liked American Badass until I heard Sad But True and realized he took a great song and made it mediocre.

If you’re really interested, listen to Bawitaba and Cowboy as his two big hits. If you want to hear his sampling, Only God Knows Why, American Badass, and All Summer Long should all be recognizable. But again, he very much is a relic of a genre that itself has aged poorly, so don’t expect to actually enjoy it all that much.

Actually, strike that, just watch the American Badass music video.

It has:

• Singing about how great he is and how many albums he’s sold
• Sampling
• Singing about Detroit
• Pimp outfits
• Women
• Confederate flags
• References to other rock musicians, by just listing a bunch of them
• References to his other songs, mainly by just saying the title in his lyrics

It’s basically the Kid Rockiest Kid Rock song.

Watched the clip and… is this some arcade game from 2003?
