After I lost my pipeline union job (thanks Joe Biden) I started working pizza delivery to slow my burn rate until I find something that has wages based in reality. All the kids there are in an 80's music discovery phase. One 17yo chick has been serenading me with Guns 'N Roses because she's just finding out about it. Now we're on to singing GnR back and forth to each other. Everyone of them lament contemporary music. I seem contemporary music as holding our kids hostage. There's no way the unending hip hop phase should have lasted this long naturally. The kids think modern music is shit compared to the stuff I grew up with.
. It's a fun job.....if the pay wasn't such shit. Thanks Joe Biden.
I love cheesy eighties music. The weird thing is that sometimes I think it's a "classical" station I've tuned into in the car, and it's actually the college radio station. Today I heard "Electric Avenue" and "Genus of Love" on it. Good times.
The edgy 20 something's working at FYE were playing a They Might Be Giants CD recently and acting like Particle Man etc was new music. The dude at the register had a price sticker on his forehead with 6.66 on it. It was a weird experience.
I had a late 30's/early 40's cougar answer the door in a towel fresh out of the shower. I got the keen sense she was expecting a pimply teenage boy, not a middle aged laid off pipeline working. The towel was draped across her breast just below the start of her areola. I offered to lay some pipe for her, but she was having none of it.
You don't understand what I wrote. I very specifically said "economic systems which allowed America to flourish which led to the 80s". Very broadly it means including 70s economics, but I would argue largely stem from post-ww2 in the 50s.
I love cheesy 80s hair metal band. The song at the end of Friday the 13th part 8 is one of my favorite songs. Same with the song from the Friday the 13th MMO game that came out a few years ago hah
New bands are making cheesy 80s hair metal - Steel Panther is a must and I recently found this solid gold gem from last year that sounded like a MTV track from 1986. Camu's Bamboo Road
Yup, this is one of my big complaints. Every time you see someone argue about this stuff in the public, the right winger always has to invoke Jesus or God, which is complete bullshit. God and religion have absolutely nothing to do with mental health. Most conservative attitudes are actually healthy from a purely evolutionary standpoint, no religious justification necessary.
Confession: I am one of those people who think trans is against God. If God wanted you to be a man, he would’ve made you a man.
The biggest issue with them pushing this trans BS on kids is that kids take it as the only way to get some social media points. Likes and retweets are the most important thing or virtual signaling wouldn’t be a darn thing.
I couldn’t imagine being a kid these days. It’s one thing when it’s just your family and class mates to try to impress. Now it’s bazillion people online and these kids don’t realize they will never met and their opinion doesn’t matter to them.
everyone knows it's against God. Even the trannies know this and freely admit it. Trannies are mentally ill. They can be cured and are good people with mental disorder. allowing them to act out isn't helpful.
On the contrary; it was our rejection of God that landed us here in the first place, just like israel thousands of years ago (it existed before). There is nothing new under the sun and man was made to worship God. You see the lunacy around you? That’s man left with his own morality which of course he can make up. Every man’s way is right in his own eyes and boy does man love sin more than God.
God will judge us all by his commandments on judgement day and if we are not trusting in Jesus Christ as our atonement we will face God’s wrath in eternal torment. Repent and believe in Jesus as the only one who lives a righteous life and payed our sin debt on our behalf.
That’s why Jesus has been so influential over the course of history, why his name is greater than every name, why we split our human timeline by the years he was with us. He literally split human history. He is worth knowing.
Christianity is not the first religion, last religion, has never been the most popular religion world wide, and was only influential in the western world. There is literally no objective measure that would indicate that Christianity is the correct religion, so please keep it to yourself.
I think the Bible proves itself. The scriptures were written hundreds of years apart and they fit together like a glove. The book of Isaiah was written some 600 years before Christ and foretold his coming, his death, John the Baptist, etc which you can read some 670 years later in the book of Matthew. The prophecies and the idea you can have men writing an inerrant book in unison from different lives is a miracle. Did you know God spread israel out to be under the rule of the gentiles for millennia and just gave them their home back in Israel and you can collect this from the Bible?
Anyways, apart from the gospel I can tell you this until I’m blue in the face but the carnal mind is at enmity with God. You need Jesus so I appeal to your conscious and not your mind. You will be judged for your deeds on judgement day like the rest of us if you are not repenting and putting your faith in Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death and he paid our sin debt for us on that cross so that we would believe and be saved.
Christianity is not merely a Western religion. It’s actually Christianity that led to Christendom, Europe, and so much of civilization that transformed the world. Popularity is not a good measure of lasting importance but it’s absurd to even compare numbers of adherents if most are only practitioners out of fear of being deemed an apostate and harmed or killed.
Culture is a reflection of genetics, not an overlay over it. If Christianity didn't exist, those things would still exist because they are manifestation of our nature, not just some cosmic happenstance. White people are naturally industrious, and kind, due to our evolution mostly occuring in regions where conflict with one's close neighbors, and being short sighted, would actually reduce your chance of survival. When food isn't available for 6 months out of the year, you evolve to be future thinking (save resources), kind to local neighbors (protect your saved resources), and violent toward distant ones (steal resources when needed), very quickly. Christianity is just a meme in that, out of the thousands of different philosophies and religions that existed, it aligned most with our genetic predisposition. The Messiah story is not unique; you coukd change out every character, story, make it polytheistic, or whatever, while keeping the core philosophy, and we would still have the world today.
Quite false. Marxist and post Christian societies fail. There is more to live than genetics. Epigenetics. Environment. Socialization. The ethos. The values that unite and establish the nomos. You sound like someone into astrology convinced time of birth shapes destiny. Then you're perplexed when identical twins are not necessarily indistinguishable.
You could say that the western world is superior and part of that is because of Christianity so thus Christianity is at least a better religion for people to worship.
So if you had surgery and were totally out under general anesthesia it would be fine to kill you? How about a deep sleep? How about if you’re drunk and it’s a drug you won’t even notice slipped in your Long Island Iced Tea?
You and I are human beings even when not experiencing things. We are human beings, not doings. Our existence should be respected.
Your brain is actually experiencing things in those states, you just don't remember them. Your brain is always active, until you die, and even then activity can persist for a short period. It's pretty amazing how much overlap there is between liberals and conservatives, 99% don't know shit and yet have the audacity to form an opinion before doing any deeper research. A better question would be, if your brain was damaged so badly that there was no detectable activity, would it be fine to the let the body die? And the answer to that would be YES.
Been a while since I took embryology, but IIRC it happens just a bit before the end of the first trimester. It doesn't produce coherent activity yet, but I'd concede that, even absent of coherent activity, it's not (yet) possible to say it isn't experiencing things, and thus would be a reasonable compromise on when to end the ability to have an abortion.
spez: Just because you assert that it has no scientific basis, doesn't mean it has no scientific basis. Do you think that a fetus hatches from an egg or something? You literally start out as a clump of cells that grows into more and more complex structures, creating a body. Scientists, even pro-life ones, will tell you we all start out as a clump of cells, no different than any cell on your body right now. It's only when those more complex structures form, specifically the brain, do you become something more than that. If you chopped off your arm and kept it alive, would that be a person? No, that's stupid, even though every single cell is capable of reproducing, and has an entire person's DNA. You are your brain, which is completely independent of your body. Technically, you don't even need a body, it would be entirely possible for your brain to be put in a robot, and you'd still be "you". Until a fetus has a brain, it's not a person.
There is no specific date. All fetuses develop differently. The only way for this to work is to actually measure the presence/absence of brain activity before every single abortion.
So, if someone were to remove your brain, but kept your body alive, you think that your soul would still be attached to your body, but unable to actually do anything with it?
Honestly I used to think I was trans when I was a young teenager. I’m so fucking lucky that subreddits like r/egg_irl weren’t around back then because I would have been an easy grooming target. It makes me so sad seeing young people fall victim to this, I don’t think any of them have thought through the long term consequences. They all fucking idolize anime cat girls as their transition goals without realizing that 99% of them will never resemble anything close to that. It’s very tragic.
I use to think emo guys were hot. Then I grew up and now I like muscles and beards.
Its like they think theyll stay that teen look forever. But thats not how it works.
Its also an attraction thats subject to change when one gets older.
The girls that think fem boys are hot today, will be seeching for real men tomorrow. For those that used hormone blockers to fit in and be cool, itll be too late.
I also feel like the corporations and government is using this to sexualize kids all over again. First it was girls and todlers in tiaras. Now its fem boys that perpetually look 12. Its sick.
The majority of my music library is from the 70's. Yeah, they did a lot of drugs, had sex with underage groupies, but god damn it, the music is excellent.
Lots of good 60's stuff, too. Hell, I listen to a lot of music, 50's, 40's, 30's, classical, jazz. And there was SOME good stuff in the 80's through the 2000's but most of it was schlock.
I remember being in high school, and going to the record store every week, and there'd be multiple new albums from good bands. Once me and my friends started driving, we'd hit the record store Friday afternoon, after school. $20, and I could walk out with 2 or 3 that are now considered classics. We'd make deals - you buy that album, and I'll get this one, and we'll make cassettes of them for each other. Or turning on the radio and hearing new music, not the same 60 songs played on rotation.
Of course there were. There were tons of bands. Thrash, speed, black, power, death... every sub-genre you could imagine. It was a great timeline for metal.
Yes, soldier I served with had to get it done for health reasons. Said it was painful to do. Said there was no difference with sex. Him and his wife have 4 kids, so I don't think it was an issue of losing nerves.
I think it’s sad and unnecessary, but most men in the US are circumcised so the conversation never really goes anywhere because people take any criticism of the practice personally, since chances are they’re either circumcised themselves or circumcised their kids. I mean, who wants to ponder the possibility that part of their dick was stolen for no real reason?
i didn't have my two boys circumcised. It's not without risk and seems unnecessary. Sure some people have to have it done later, rarely, but then some people have to have mastectomies, their tonsils out, their appendixes removed.
To add, it's Jewish tradition and has only really been prevalent in America for the last half century. I find it disgusting that it's seen as expected by so many.
Firstly, it's all about the money, it's not done for free, doctors/hospitals charge around $1,800 for the five-minute procedure. Yes, opp's do happen with circumcision a lot more often than you know, from too deep of a cut to cutting the tip off altogether, cutting too low down the shaft. The old stories of how so and so had to get it done painfully as an adult are skewed too, there is no reason (other than a doctor going in for the $) to have it done as an adult, if there is ever an ongoing issue a doctor just has to make a slit to relieve any tension.
While my un-circed father was dopey enough to be conned into circing his sons, his son made sure that his sons were left as God made them, perfect ;)
My sister is a maternity nurse and has plenty of horror stories to tell about botched circs, most of them are hushed up, even the parents don't know and their pediatricians will fluff off any parental concerns too to protect themselves & the needed hospital association he's a part of and enjoys.
First, almost all circumcised guys still have pleasurable sex.
Second, it’s more hygienic and reduces the risk of contracting or spreading infectious diseases.
Third, it’s considered more attractive by most women and men.
Guys who get obsessed with this ring of skin tend to be neurotic bitches with issues. It’s one more thing to whine about to mom and dad and any girl who will listen.
I don’t think it should be universally required but this movement to forbid it is stupid. A small, but real number of uncircumcised guys will need it as adults and that’s not a good time. And I don’t mind some vague hypothetical decrease in sensation to have a cleaner, healthier, more attractive member women really like. Most women don’t like anteaters and most of them are not kept as clean.
I always wondered what other people thought of this.
As far as Christian values goes, the New Testament pretty much says "yea, you don't have to do that anymore" but never really specifies it as a bad thing (as opposed to the Old Testament which says "you need to cut that shit off yesterday").
Personally, I'm glad I was circumcised as a baby. Would hate to have to do it now.
Your argument is the same as those who say they'll have to get dentures because all their teeth will rot out because they don't know how to maintain oral hygiene.
Got to realize that we always change and mature. Thank God I'm not stuck with black hair and an Ankh tattoo an ex wanted me to get. Now I listen to Colter Wall and Charley Crockett for Christ's sake. Still love me some NIN and shit, but so glad being goth didn't blow out my bottom half.
You see any flying or underwater cars? We got airships and water ships, but no cars yet! :P
Not far enough to be DNA modifying gender changes to human beings yet. All they do, is what South Park said, mutilate you and make you some half dolphin monstrosity.
Stop subsidizing soy and corn. Make the outdoors great again. How fucked up does a lifestyle have to be to keep these fat dough boys permanently prepubescent.
Then pay more for food and fuel. Also kill food stamps too then. Or, you know, fix the commodities markets that Jimmy Carter royally screwed up in 1978 with his useless embargo
The only reason the farm bill passes is because it has the foodstamps part and the only reason foodstamps passes is because of the farm bill.
Sadly as a 10's-20's teenager myself, I find this a shame that people want to mutilate their bodies before they are even adults. Even if they are adults it is disgusting!
Unpopular(?) opinion: 80s/90s hair needs to make a comeback.
Nah, the whole thing needs to come back. Those were the best years ever!
After I lost my pipeline union job (thanks Joe Biden) I started working pizza delivery to slow my burn rate until I find something that has wages based in reality.

Today's musician has the equivalent of a studio in their bedrooms, but none of the talent, drive, and desperation that 80's artists had.
I'm happy to see this generation is starting to understand this.
I love cheesy eighties music. The weird thing is that sometimes I think it's a "classical" station I've tuned into in the car, and it's actually the college radio station. Today I heard "Electric Avenue" and "Genus of Love" on it. Good times.

Delivering pizzas was honestly the most fun job I ever had
Did babes ever answer the door in their birfday suit?
I had a late 30's/early 40's cougar answer the door in a towel fresh out of the shower. I got the keen sense she was expecting a pimply teenage boy, not a middle aged laid off pipeline working. The towel was draped across her breast just below the start of her areola. I offered to lay some pipe for her, but she was having none of it.
I've had several in robes, under wear (more common than you think, T-shirt and panties usually), and swim suits. Close enough I guess. Lol
Great story. Hope it's Domino's!
At the local school it's the same thing, 80s music all around, as loud as can be.
The 80s gave me a glimpse on the future and it didn't suck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3f-JwOGO1A
Now I want my money back.
To me, Van Halen's Hot for Teacher is the ideal video for the 80's, captures everything about it perfectly
I remember all the 30-something female teachers would always slyly grin when asked if she had seen the video. Always. It kinda turned me on.
I kek'ed, but also sad. Good times are over; there is no chance in hell that such a video could be published today, because politics.
this is my feeling too, the video "offends" just about every commandment in the new unnamed religion that must not be called a religion
What about "mongo worship"?
You'll never get back the spirit of the 80s unless you get back the economic systems which allowed America to flourish which led to the 80s.
Plus get rid of cell phones. (See Motley Crue’s “The Dirt!”
)
Yeah, true. Spirit is a very good word for those times.
FUCK THAT we need to get back to the early 70s economy. They had already shipped out most of the manufacturing by the end of the 80s
You don't understand what I wrote. I very specifically said "economic systems which allowed America to flourish which led to the 80s". Very broadly it means including 70s economics, but I would argue largely stem from post-ww2 in the 50s.
Yes indeed!
Eh...make it like 1970-77...the 80s sucked for farming country wide drought, shit prices, and a government that somewhat ignored the farm crisis.
80s/90s women need to make a comeback.
Says "boomer" - FAGGOT CONFIRMED
I love cheesy 80s hair metal band. The song at the end of Friday the 13th part 8 is one of my favorite songs. Same with the song from the Friday the 13th MMO game that came out a few years ago hah
Dream Warriors.
That's nightmare on elm Street.
Yes, the subject was cheesy 80's hair metal bands and songs in horror flicks. That qualifies.
Agreed.
It really was one of the cheesiest movies of them all. Great song though.
There was a song?
This is totally my thread!
First ever concert! Haha my dad brought me at like 7 and now I’m a great musician :)
Dokken rocks
no sir - no more dokken
What about the 1986 transformers cartoon movie soundtrack?
That's got so sick tunes on it
"You've Got the Touch"
The hernia this guy got singing this theme song is amazing tho

YES!
Harsh but true
I feel the same. Suicide prevention is one of my core focuses in life and we need to stop coddling the mentally unstable.
Fine take God and societal norms out of, self mutation is NOT healthy.
Yup, this is one of my big complaints. Every time you see someone argue about this stuff in the public, the right winger always has to invoke Jesus or God, which is complete bullshit.

Sure, but that doesn't make your opinion less informed.

And don't forget, as Christianity spread it destroyed all of the local spiritual practices and knowledge.
And replaced it with a book written in a language someone in, Denmark for example, could not read.
And consolidated power in Rome.
You could say that the western world is superior and part of that is because of Christianity so thus Christianity is at least a better religion for people to worship.
Same with abortion. You don’t need to be religious to know it makes no logical sense
It makes sense until the fetus has a brain. Once it's able to "experience", it's no longer a clump of cells.
So if you had surgery and were totally out under general anesthesia it would be fine to kill you? How about a deep sleep? How about if you’re drunk and it’s a drug you won’t even notice slipped in your Long Island Iced Tea?
You and I are human beings even when not experiencing things. We are human beings, not doings. Our existence should be respected.
Your brain is actually experiencing things in those states, you just don't remember them. Your brain is always active, until you die, and even then activity can persist for a short period. It's pretty amazing how much overlap there is between liberals and conservatives, 99% don't know shit and yet have the audacity to form an opinion before doing any deeper research. A better question would be, if your brain was damaged so badly that there was no detectable activity, would it be fine to the let the body die? And the answer to that would be YES.
You're conflating allowing natural events to transpire with the deliberate destruction of a human at the beginning of life.
It never was a “clump of cells”. That statement has no scientific basis whatsoever. It is a living organism.
How many days into pregnancy does it develop a brain? When I’d the cutoff point?
Been a while since I took embryology, but IIRC it happens just a bit before the end of the first trimester. It doesn't produce coherent activity yet, but I'd concede that, even absent of coherent activity, it's not (yet) possible to say it isn't experiencing things, and thus would be a reasonable compromise on when to end the ability to have an abortion.
spez: Just because you assert that it has no scientific basis, doesn't mean it has no scientific basis. Do you think that a fetus hatches from an egg or something?

There is no specific date. All fetuses develop differently. The only way for this to work is to actually measure the presence/absence of brain activity before every single abortion.
You mean, once it has a soul. Which, IMHO, is conception.
So, if someone were to remove your brain, but kept your body alive, you think that your soul would still be attached to your body, but unable to actually do anything with it?
Yes. If I amputated my arm, will my soul follow my dead arm or my body? Same thing.
Well at least they will learn their lesson. It doesn’t just grow back.
Honestly I used to think I was trans when I was a young teenager. I’m so fucking lucky that subreddits like r/egg_irl weren’t around back then because I would have been an easy grooming target. It makes me so sad seeing young people fall victim to this, I don’t think any of them have thought through the long term consequences. They all fucking idolize anime cat girls as their transition goals without realizing that 99% of them will never resemble anything close to that. It’s very tragic.
if the mRNA vaccine works, we might just get anime cat girls

Hurts my soul to see how many of my metal bands from the 2000s are brainwashed cucks.
The majority of my music library is from the 70's. Yeah, they did a lot of drugs, had sex with underage groupies, but god damn it, the music is excellent.
I think I prefer the 60's. But 70's music is golden too.
Lots of good 60's stuff, too. Hell, I listen to a lot of music, 50's, 40's, 30's, classical, jazz. And there was SOME good stuff in the 80's through the 2000's but most of it was schlock.

I actually used to use a 28 min Yes song as a gf test on our first road trips. Last one passed with flying colours, is based af, and is now my wife.
they sold their souls to be popular metal bands and now they have to pay back and do antichrists work
Very correct.
Modern PR firms run by millennials didn't exist back then.
There were metal bands in the 2000s?
I thought the era / genre ended with the 1980's.
Of course there were. There were tons of bands. Thrash, speed, black, power, death... every sub-genre you could imagine. It was a great timeline for metal.
Some of my favorite thrash bands came up in the late 00s
Metalica will never end.
EOM
Dude, check out this little dude I found on youtube.
Metal is not dead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUV7II5Tv9M
It’s funny because they’ll be dead
80's were the BEST!
What about circumcision?
Is it immoral to cut off a boy's foreskin before he's old enough to make the decision for himself?
I can't say I miss mine. I'm asking an honest question, though.
Considering my grandfather had to get it done later for medical reasons, I'm thankful it was done when I was too young to remember it.
Yes, soldier I served with had to get it done for health reasons. Said it was painful to do. Said there was no difference with sex. Him and his wife have 4 kids, so I don't think it was an issue of losing nerves.
What happened to your gramps?
Don't Google male yeast infection.....
so you have neverending nerves now... kinda cool
Funny how some down vote your comment because they believe it to be tradition or Christian culture to do so.
I'm indifferent.
I wonder what women think.
I think it’s sad and unnecessary, but most men in the US are circumcised so the conversation never really goes anywhere because people take any criticism of the practice personally, since chances are they’re either circumcised themselves or circumcised their kids. I mean, who wants to ponder the possibility that part of their dick was stolen for no real reason?
I don't think people take criticism personally.
I think the conversation is not allowed to happen because powered interests want it to happen. Much like 2020 election fraud.
i didn't have my two boys circumcised. It's not without risk and seems unnecessary. Sure some people have to have it done later, rarely, but then some people have to have mastectomies, their tonsils out, their appendixes removed.
To add, it's Jewish tradition and has only really been prevalent in America for the last half century. I find it disgusting that it's seen as expected by so many.
Really highlights how much influence 1% of the population has.
Firstly, it's all about the money, it's not done for free, doctors/hospitals charge around $1,800 for the five-minute procedure. Yes, opp's do happen with circumcision a lot more often than you know, from too deep of a cut to cutting the tip off altogether, cutting too low down the shaft. The old stories of how so and so had to get it done painfully as an adult are skewed too, there is no reason (other than a doctor going in for the $) to have it done as an adult, if there is ever an ongoing issue a doctor just has to make a slit to relieve any tension.
While my un-circed father was dopey enough to be conned into circing his sons, his son made sure that his sons were left as God made them, perfect ;)
My sister is a maternity nurse and has plenty of horror stories to tell about botched circs, most of them are hushed up, even the parents don't know and their pediatricians will fluff off any parental concerns too to protect themselves & the needed hospital association he's a part of and enjoys.
First, almost all circumcised guys still have pleasurable sex.
Second, it’s more hygienic and reduces the risk of contracting or spreading infectious diseases.
Third, it’s considered more attractive by most women and men.
Guys who get obsessed with this ring of skin tend to be neurotic bitches with issues. It’s one more thing to whine about to mom and dad and any girl who will listen.
I don’t think it should be universally required but this movement to forbid it is stupid. A small, but real number of uncircumcised guys will need it as adults and that’s not a good time. And I don’t mind some vague hypothetical decrease in sensation to have a cleaner, healthier, more attractive member women really like. Most women don’t like anteaters and most of them are not kept as clean.
Not to mention that circumcision reduces penile cancer dramatically.
I always wondered what other people thought of this.
As far as Christian values goes, the New Testament pretty much says "yea, you don't have to do that anymore" but never really specifies it as a bad thing (as opposed to the Old Testament which says "you need to cut that shit off yesterday").
Personally, I'm glad I was circumcised as a baby. Would hate to have to do it now.
Or just have good hygiene?
Your argument is the same as those who say they'll have to get dentures because all their teeth will rot out because they don't know how to maintain oral hygiene.
Except for phimosis.
Who said anything about hygiene?
I'm pretty thankful for the inability to produce smegma but other than that there's really no reason for it.
It is immoral and should be banned.
Been saying this - it's just a fad like any other fad young teens get into - and we thought emo's were the bottom of the barrel!
It's worse. You can take earrings out or live with a tattoo. Blocking puberty and cutting your dick off is way worse than a fad.
Yeah, in the 90's it was bulimia, in the 2000's it was cutting, now it's being trans.
There's studies on girls how each of these behaviors occurs via clique. One girl starts doing it, six months later the entire clique does it.
Emos were the second to bottom ladder rung that led to trannyville.
Got to realize that we always change and mature. Thank God I'm not stuck with black hair and an Ankh tattoo an ex wanted me to get. Now I listen to Colter Wall and Charley Crockett for Christ's sake. Still love me some NIN and shit, but so glad being goth didn't blow out my bottom half.
I'm still goth.
Should come with spice warnings
Spicy flare is definitely warranted
What about those of us who never really stopped being goth?
I warship Marilyn Manson, but a follow RUSH Limbaugh.
Love Rush. Manson's good.
There are only 2 genders. FAAAAAAAAAAGS!!!!
90s kids: I can't believe I wore those pants!
top tier memes
Kids were so much thinner back then too. There was only one obese girl in my high school (in the 80s).
I'll stick with the 80s.
Yea, they forget that part.
We are in the future, cool.
But not THAT far in the future LOL
You see any flying or underwater cars? We got airships and water ships, but no cars yet! :P
Not far enough to be DNA modifying gender changes to human beings yet. All they do, is what South Park said, mutilate you and make you some half dolphin monstrosity.
Now that’s quality!!
I’m dead
There should be dates on the tombstone that end in the 2020s.
Brutal. Real. Sad.
Stop subsidizing soy and corn. Make the outdoors great again. How fucked up does a lifestyle have to be to keep these fat dough boys permanently prepubescent.
Then pay more for food and fuel. Also kill food stamps too then. Or, you know, fix the commodities markets that Jimmy Carter royally screwed up in 1978 with his useless embargo
The only reason the farm bill passes is because it has the foodstamps part and the only reason foodstamps passes is because of the farm bill.
look at that fat fuck
Spicy. Kek!
Spice level: KEK
So what was the 2010s?
I feel ashamed that all my clothes once came from Hot Topic.
41%
Sadly as a 10's-20's teenager myself, I find this a shame that people want to mutilate their bodies before they are even adults. Even if they are adults it is disgusting!
I was a 90's kid, we rock!
WE LOVE OUR GOTHS DONT WE FOLKS?
DANK
Damn that's a SPICCCY meatball
oof
This is my kind of humor. Thanks for the smile.
rewriting the headline:
I can't believe it's now gutter
🎼The only one we knew of back in the day who had a dickectomy was Walter Carlos Williams 🎵🎶🎹
90's was when goth was big. 00's was when hipsters were big. 10's was when fake nerds were big. 20's is probably going to be accurate.
nah, they cut a hole and push the dick inwards
Demolition Man is a prophetic documentary
The scary thing is: Biden was all'thies and still did nothing.
Commando mercenary:
Removing a little boys penis is like cutting through warm budder.
I think it would be better if the stone just said “I can’t breathe”
I eat only butter - no margarine!
