It's literally the same "no-yes" space billionaires meme with Klaes Ashford and the same one with Camina Drummer. I can't find them at the moment, but if you use your imagination, it's almost as good. If I get a chance later, I'll see if I can't dig them up

The one with Drummer or the one with Ashford work well, too.

Plot twist: the therapist was just trying to make the patient feel more empowered and seen by agreeing to confront her spouse

I think you're on the money with yeet, and I think "af" (as in "Dark Souls is hard af") still has a fair bit of usage considering how old it is and how cringe it was for a while.

Cringe, too, for that matter, although I still think "cringey" is better

Edit: I predict "low key" will stick around, too.

It wasn't Pantera themselves that made me suspicious at first, but their most fervent fans always seemed far too invested in the Confederate flag to make me feel comfortable

As a college instructor, it's difficult sometimes. The dumbest goddamn students I've ever had still manage to pass sometimes due to being friends with the right people or getting lucky when cheating in a way that I can't necessarily prove. I can be 100% certain that someone cheated, but if I can't objectively prove it, it's really, really dangerous (to my career) to fail that student, especially when they are as connected and narcissistic as Trump.

Plus, lots of people take advantage of more inclusive accommodations and more forgiving grading or attendance policies to the point that sometimes they do pass despite knowing a tiny fraction of the material. I could eliminate a lot of that by making the tests harder and removing a lot of academic support services I offer to make the class more "sink or swim," but then I'm mostly punishing the people that need my help the most. I just have to remind myself that it's better to pass a student that doesn't deserve it than it is to misjudge the situation and fail a student who legitimately just needed some additional understanding or academic support.

Are we not gonna talk about Kelso's mug shot? The man's eyes are so close together that he's singlehandedly the best evidence I've ever seen that humans are descended from cyclopes

And Canada Gooses! Canada Gooses are barrel-chested and majestic! The envy of all ornithologies!

And the people voted for him (or didn't bother to vote) anyway. America as a whole deserves the shit that we've brought down on ourselves, which is really too bad considering how the people that are most actively anti-fascist are going to bear the brunt of the consequences.

Is that even debated? I've thought for decades that that was an accepted fact.

NGL, you had me in the first half

 

Or least, they seem less overtly evil than the rest of the bad apples at this time.

edit: I know they are just as bad as the rest of them, but by having CEO's that have managed to stay out of the headlines lately, they're being discrete about eroding our civil liberties and degrading civil discourse

 

"Rounds" -> "Shells"

 

Connection: "perfect"

 

Connection: high.

 

Connection: Factory

 

Connection: dark, apathetic hedonism verging on nihilism

As an aside, "God never makes mistakes, he just makes fuck ups" is one is the better song lyrics written in the last decade, IMHO

 

Connection: "Something wrong...chemically"

 

Connection: from "Octopus's Garden" I thought of the movie Garden State, the soundtrack of which had this song.

As an aside, this soundtrack was immensely influential for my 18yo self and other young, pretentious college students around the same age. For the most part, I think it holds up as a pretty great soundtrack to this day

 

Connection: songs about cocaine

 

Type O Negative is the quintessential goth metal band and "Love You To Death" is one of my favorite Type O Negative songs

 

Female-fronted old school hip-hop, just like Missy Elliot. Although I have to say the presence of Spinderella really elevates this cut.

 

More old school East Coast hip-hop, plus the word "hooligan" in the lyrics
