Apparently, getting so high on their own supply that they’ve convinced themselves you want to smell their farts too.

Rational National pointed out that the ‘Gulf of America’ name was actually a joke Colbert made back in 2010 when he was still doing the Colbert Report.

Old article about MSFT donating to Colbert’s ‘Gulf of America’ charity aimed at cleaning up / mitigating oil spills from rigs that broke after Katrina:

We live in the Demented Clowns timeline, honk honk.

RFK Jr has seriously proposed sending drug addicts, which he defines as people taking prescribed medication for mental health reasons, as well as your more stereotypical hardcore drug addicts… to basically agricultural work / detox camps.

No meds, no phone, live in a barracks, do farm work… while you and everyone else are cold turkey quitting heroin, or fentanyl, or ritalin or zoloft or wellbutrin.

Over a decade ago, Obama proposed significantly expanding AmeriCorps, the tea party Republicans basically did everything they could to water down the expansion to amount to basically nothing.

I wonder if Twitter Republicans even know AmeriCorps exists…

Anyway, what we should actually do is mandate that everyone who earns double area median income for 3 years in a 5 year period has to spend 6 months working in a call center, retail, customer service, fast food.

I’d call it reaping what you sow.

Tell her you’ll fix it if she gives you power of attorney.

No, I’m not joking.

If you are having to spend 8 hours to figure out how to help her manage her basic affairs, if you are constantly teaching her how to use a password manager and she cannot figure it out, she has diminished cognitive capacity.

If she has already delegated you to be in charge of all her account logins, she’s basically already given you de facto control over them, already acknowledged she isn’t capable of of managing her own affairs.

Gather a bunch of other evidence that she has trouble with basic tasks, can’t reliably perform basic household activities, manage finances, whatever, approach a lawyer and get the power of attorney document(s) drawn up.

EDIT: // Holy shit, just saw your other comment:

Well I also cook everything, grocery shop and fix everything (basic electrical, plumbing, woodworking, installations, etc).

Yeah, you are already functionally her caretaker.

Depending on the state you’re in (assuming you are in the US) you might be able to actually get yourself certified as her caretaker without much or any actual input from her, before you pursue power of attorney. //

This solves the cut out problem.

…

After that, explain your solution:

Print out a big list of all those passwords and logins for her.

Meanwhile, you’ve got them all as well, presumably you can just use her password manager and have access to it.

If she resets a password and can’t figure out how to log back in, fix it back to something you know, but don’t let her use this account for one week.

After a week, print out a new list for her with the new password you’ve set.

If she resets another password while in a 7 day timeout period, well now it’ll be two weeks for both passwords to become available to her, etc.

This may sound like too much, but she’s a cognitively diminished entitled brat, who has already conditioned you into being a doormat who is expected to waste a seemingly endless amount of time and effort to solve problems she creates, problems that people without a live-in technical support agent pay hundreds of dollars to solve.

She will not learn if she has no impetus to. She’s obviously used the ‘tough love’ model on you, use it back on her.

If she complains about this, doesn’t matter, you have power of attorney, send her to an old folks home, sell the house and move to an apartment, or rent a room out if it or something.

Not always.

It depends on what position the baby is in, and other factors.

I was brought into the world via a vertically cut c section, as I insisted on attempting to exit my mother butt first.

Am I seeing this right?

50ish years ago, back when people actually read Popular Science, they told people to dispose of their old motor oil by digging a small hole in your backyard, filling it with gravel, and pouring the motor oil into it.

Oh and don’t forget all the advertisements for your Doctor’s favorite cigarette.

Also, there are two main actual reasons why far fewer car manuals nowadays include instructions on valve adjustments:

1. A whole lot more modern cars use hydro-compensators, which greatly reduces the need to manually adjust the valves.

2. Car companies really, really want you to go to a dealership or officially certified maintenance shop so they can overcharge you on maintenance.

Fun fact:

Will Smith was the first actor approached by the Wachowskis to be Neo in the Matrix.

He turned it down to work on Wild Wild West, and the role of Neo went to Keanu.

Sonuva… I just wrote almost exactly the same story about not realizing you even can steal a newspaper as a kid.

A newspaper.

Did not know it was stealing… I was … maybe 7?

Up until that point in my life, I’d only ever been to stores or restaurants that had free flyers or small community newsletters.

First time I was in a similar small store, I assumed full, 30+ page newspapers worked the same way.

After being informed that full newspapers cost money, and I had stolen it, I returned it.

The store clerk did not even realize I had taken the paper, laughed, appreciated my honesty, and gave me a tootsie pop.

There are some, handheld firearms that are used as a last-ditch / cheap anti drone solution in Ukraine, by both sides.

Drum roll…

Its shotguns.

Because they have a spread of multiple shot pellets instead of a single bullet.

Fucking obviously duh, they’ve been used to hunt small, evasive birds routinely, everywhere, for like 150+ years.

Hunting a nimble flying object with a sniper rifle is a laughably absurd idea.

This actual post from this woman is so stupid I would have thought it was from a 12 year old whose only experience with guns is from CoD… but nope, its a 50ish(?) year old woman.

Guess she’s never hunted birds, and thinks its just the same as hunting deer or hogs or something???
