Last thread was a doozy. Vote above for who showed the poorest performance, from the following list of exceptional nominees:
@Sara - in addition to a half-assed OP, here sara seems to suggest that COVID symptoms can be cleared with a home remedy of ramen straight to the sinuses. Feel free to try that one out, sara!
@Limbo Pete - kicks off the thread with some grotesque imagery that could be related to the poor performance of the previous nominee. Quite despicable behaviour, and a hit-and-run to boot.
@tonni - in between rampant kink-shaming posts, tonni demonstrates that his sexuality is more in question than his unquenchable desire to slurp the toenail polish off of a girl with hairy legs.
I'm not a fan of feet, it's true. Sandals are a serious turn off. I'd rather have a woman with a mustache than a woman who wears sandals and paints her toenails.
@Prokofievian - if we're judging grotesque imagery and feet opinions, Prok's back-to-back here simply cannot be ignored. Next time please hide such sentiments behind incomprehensible Finnish.
This was by far the worst part about travelling to Saudi Arabia, including the ridiculous heat. It's just completely acceptable to have your disgusting feet out and about.
Also the hajj is basically always happening, so there's always men walking around in towels. It's a fucking gross place to visit.
I feel like I should explain. There are feet, and then there are feet. No feet are particularly attractive, but if you have yellow toenails and a swollen gout ridden foot, put that shit away.
@Trotsky - displays his characteristic resentment of the rich and successful with some envy-posting about Lord Saviour Daddy Elon. Welcome to the Super Peen 500, big boy.
He's the epitome of an ugly duckling douche. A guy who was damaged, rather than improved, by his being a homely weirdo for his entire life. And now he's rich, has hair plugs, and is playing out his dream of being cool and alpha.
What's annoying is that there are (very) casual liberals who think the guy is cool.
@The Diplomat - refuses to take a hint and instead uses 20,000 words and page of shitposting to derive the radical conclusions that government spending costs the government money and money used in one place will result in less money being available in another place. Content being created before your eyes.
From what I'm reading, there are federal government loans vs. private loans. I can't find any actual source that says the private loans are paid for by the federal government, but I can see the differences in that fed loans have better benefits. I don't understand why there would be any actual difference (or why anyone would apply via private loans) if it's all paid for from the said exact source. In that case, why is there even a fed vs private loan situation?
And yes, it can be paid off over time, but that's when I said the government would most likely raise revenue elsewhere. So if we need to raise taxes, then single payer/universal health care would need to also be an issue. Also in that scenario, I'm assuming it's only retroactive and not forward? Meaning, if we forgive all student loans today, then anyone getting a student loan tomorrow would be still paying? I'm not exactly sure of all the details in that proposal.
If we wipe out $1.5 trillion over night, then like @Jack V Savage says, it'll be paid for over time but the govt still takes a loss. There is no way to recover that loss unless we raise it elsewhere. So okay, 100% loss on 1.5 trillion. Doesn't seem like much compared to our GDP, but that is quite a penny for people who already knew what they were signing up for.
And if the actual policy is only retroactive, and not 100% forever, then I personally only see a short boost to the economy - those students with debt would be able to circulate their money back into the economy, but at the same time, that money was supposed to go back to the feds anyways. As student loans continue forward for future students, I actually don't see a rational reason to do it other than to just feel good for a short period. It seems like a lot of money to spend/lose without any verifiable outcome, and then it just happens again.
@EyeOfNewt - after being escorted into the sacred Lounge by a classic @Social Distance Warrior provocation-like, some Nazi shitposter attempts to disguise his deepening resentment of Western freedom and civilization behind a veneer of... pirates? That one wasn't taught at my high school, Heinrich.
I'm not clueless. I know that nazis hijacked symbols, as did other groups with farfetched ideas, but pirates predate nazis. When I see the skull/bones flag (and this one had a frog!) I see pirates.
@skysolo - progressive Russian shill supposedly supporting social safety nets tries to dunk on Hillary Clinton doing the same, before realizing his has not yet caught the ball. Both eyes forward Comrade!
Okay, I get @tonni disliking feet. He's a sanitary professional, so it's in his economic interest to be averse to things that are stinky or sweaty.
But @Prokofievian? I wouldn't expect such irrationality from you. It's a foot. It's a long hand with short fingers....except it's way less dirty and bacteria-ridden than a hand. People who are grossed out by feet are similar to people who are sexually aroused by feet - in that neither make sense to me.
So I didn't realize the full extent of the Jeffrey Toobin firing. I thought he just accidentally hung brain in a meeting or something. I didn't realize he was having Zoom sex with a viral prostitute.
It's stories like these that make me wonder....is everyone in the world weirder than me? Like, I feel like I'm pretty weird. But I'm not "masturbate myself while having video sex with a stranger during a break from a work meeting" weird.
Violence/Genocide: Do not condone violence or genocide on a person or group of people. You are free to attack a person or groups ideas but you are crossing the line when calling for violence. This will be heavily enforced in threads with breaking news involving victims.
