  1. I tell you this, because it is true: there is a towing company in my city called "Camel Towing".

    To the company owner: this tells me that:

    (1) you allowed a 13-year-old boy (or someone with the mental development of one) to choose the name for your company

    and

    (2) there were no adults in the room to overrule this decision.

    Seriously, you want to alienate half [1] your possible customer base even before they've tried to contact you?

    They shouldn't be successful enough to stay in business. And yet...

    [1] Well, more than half. Any man with a shred of respect for women should also be turned off by this. I sure am.

  6. Seth MacFarlane laughing at the sheer absurdity of 21st-century god-botherers. We’ve got quantum physics and they’re still arguing about talking snakes. Read a damn science book, then get back to us about that 'holy' text. #AtheistLife #Skeptic #GrowUp

  8. CW: USPol flavored shitpost, aikido

    Me: Yeah, so palm slaps to the face is used in some aikido techniques as a distraction to set up the throw or joint lock.

    🌊🚫🟠🇺🇦4everBluePatriot: Your transgender slaps are a distraction from what Drumft is doing to the country with his boyfriend Putin 🙄 #GrowUp #RealPolitics #IStandWithMulder

  9. I get it. I miss being a kid when snow just meant playing in the yard, building a snowman, snowball fights. A parent there to deal with the tough stuff. I don't particularly like being an adult either.

    But I am an adult. And like a fucking adult I know I have to suck it up and do adult things. Wishing for some authoritarian daddy to make me feel small -- and somehow safe again -- is just delusional bullshit.

  11. This is very good answer to the question of what you will be if you grow up. And the best thing is: You still can be outrageously happy when getting older. It's never too late.

    And at least from time to time it will work. It may get better with practice. And sharing.

  17. CW: Swearing about idiots.

    Regarding Cyclone Alfred — and any other natural disaster: if you simply 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 put yourself in danger in order to get a first-hand view of the unfolding drama, FFS leave your kids and pets at home!

    Risk your own life? Sure, whatever. Maybe your dependents won't miss you. But risking the lives of children or animals so that you can get a momentary thrill is behaviour that lies far beyond cuntish.

    Grow up, stop thinking of that awesome selfie or viral video, and protect those who rely on you to be sensible in the face of danger.

A reminder to all: love is not a malfunction, but if you’re experiencing uncontrolled whining, please report to Sickbay for immediate treatment. ~Cmdr.

  20. @TheGentYYC

    Petulant children.

    The ENTIRE "OiI Industry In Suits" and their frankly broken political flunkies are petulant children.

    Put away your toys its time for school.

    NO!! I DONNNNNNNNT WANNNNNNNT TOOOOO.

    You arent children, you are energy professionals who have one bad product, clean up your mess, and get ready for school.

    We need energy, we're adults, sell clean energy, clean up.

  21. I find some of the post categorization placards that have been floating around amusing, and I can even see how some of them would be appropriate and useful in some contexts. But this one is just bullshit.
    This is SOCIAL media. People INTERACT here. If you regularly make "observations" here with no interest in hearing what other people think about them, you're an asshole.
    And if you don't do it regularly, you don't need the fucking placard.

  22. Testing new technology devices to destruction in ways that they are not designed to survive is so old.

    Especially when the device in question costs $3499 and is in short supply.

    Have a nice team lunch instead and donate the rest of the money to charity if you have it to squander.

    Some tech sites deserve active avoidance. 😡

  24. He responded to a couple of tweets posted over the holiday weekend. One said the new #GenderNeutral #restrooms existed purely to “appease #trans lunatics.”

    Horn responded, “Let me correct this tweet: ‘Kansas City’s brand new airport allows #anyone, of any #background to use a #singlestall #bathroom for #greater #privacy.’

    “Just like the #bathrooms at your very #home AND the #bathrooms on the #planes, they are #singlestall, #allgender #facilities#growup.”
