Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

They learned it from the internet. It’s a meme.

My point is that it doesn’t matter where they learned it. They picked it up somewhere and some of them will grow out of it, and some of them won’t.

Nice quote from the pot reception:

UGG! ikr?

Wonder if hubby turned out to be cool with this, (“Oh. ha ha!”) or if he’s like, hmmmm…

You’ve clearly never tried to get a bunch of people out the door to see a jam band.

A guy was arrested for threatening Merriam Webster dictionary for their definition of the word “woman”.

And, despite being from California, he ain’t no commie pinko liberal, no siree.

In any event most astronomers pronounce the planet as You-run-us not Yer-anus .just to avoid dumb jokes

Too late. It’s already here, in the NSRIOTD thread:

You see, this is why linguistics majors do not like English majors. The descriptivist vs prescriptivist debate always comes up.

I encountered a person who said

Now, I kinda wish it were actually true, but there are so many layers of stupid to that claim that it merits mention. I am not sure what the origin of this lie is, but it has become a bit aggravating the way people latch onto obvious bullshit and just keep trying to spread it with abandon.

It’s a misunderstanding of what is happening in my state, but not totally wrong.

So it won’t be illegal to drive a gasoline-powered car. But the goal is to not allow people to sell, purchase, or register a vehicle manufactured after 2030 (not 2035) in Washington State. It was part of a budget package signed into law by Governor Insley a month ago.

ETA: In case the April 1 date let’s you think it was a joke, it’s not. It’s real.

Note this is a goal signed into law, not a mandate, so it’s not law and nothing that can be enforced yet. But it’s not a rumor either, it’s real.

Obligatory Futurama quote:

Fry: Oh, man, this is great! Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus.
[He laughs.]
Leela: I don’t get it.
Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all…
Fry : Oh. What’s it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

The entire online world of Electric Vehicles is replete with exaggeration, bullshit and outright falsehoods.

Many of these are spread by Useful Idiots, but they are started by those whose job it is to try to convince consumers not to buy EV’s, and to continue to purchase vehicles powered by petro-chemicals. Gee, I wonder who is promoting and spreading the lies and bullshit?

Just tell him back that the governor of Florida made it illegal to use math.

Stupid MF’ers in the news. How about these Trump supporters at the Ohio rally for some numpty. This is the thread for Stupid Mother Fuckers, right? Here they are. MAGA!

Here is something being livestreamed right now on Hulu:

Is it done? How did it go? Were there any survivors?

The plane that took off with Aikins and was supposed to land with Farrington lost stability in the air and began to spin. The experienced jumper aborted the attempt. He ended up opening his parachute and landing safely. The aircraft that took off with Farrington, on the other hand, had a perfect curvature, and Aikins can reach it. Then he restarted the engine and made a smooth landing with the plane.

Some random “People’s Convoy” (damn commies) went to the Bay area, got all lost, and the locals egged them on

wait, is that the right expression?

This puts me in mind of an 80s song…

:musical_score:
Egg on me… (Egg on me!)
Egg me on… (Egg on me!)
I’ll be gone… In a day or two!
:musical_note:

(Apologies to Norwegian synth-pop band a-ha.)
