Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the person hired to fire themselves.

I go by my middle name. Not because I wanted to, but because that is what my immediate family chose. I became comfortable with it. So I decided in certain settings to let people use my first name.

99% of my extended family doesn’t know my first name. Some of them are teachers. If I had been in their class, they’d be in trouble. Fucking stupid law.

Well I grew up having a crush on Moss from The West Wing but, no, not gonna watch it.

I saw my mom watching The Handmaids Tale today. It made me think, are we slowly transforming into Gilead?

FYI, I know Gilead is United States. I read the book.

I might be wrong, but the UK I believe has laws against the media talking about elections like the day before and day of polling.

I left after the API price hike.

Ah yes, pay $5m to live where other people get deported despite their legal status. Only a fucking moron will get one.

Maybe on a better side there was Birthday Girl. Mediocre in story but a bit of nudity.

Huh. Is that good or bad?

I don’t pay attention to TikTok. I’m not on there.

Why the fuck does this dude care so much about one social media platform being available here? Is he perving on dancing teenagers?

Trump: I am very pleased with the patriotic actions of the Proud Boys…

AG: Sir. They had to give up their trademark to a Black church.

Trump: I am very upset with the anti-American actions of the Proud Boys…

Probably something like this.

I can top that. I saw a dog at a Korean barbecue restaurant. The ones that serve raw meat for you to cook at your table. Except this restaurant did it buffet style. I never went back.

Well this is both “correct” and wrong simultaneously. The Final Cut, which is the canonical version, states that Deckard is a replicant.

However if you watch 2049, that is specifically a sequel to the non-canon theatrical cut. So the statement would be incorrect in that instance.

I took one college course and couldn’t handle it. On top of that I was the weird student that wanted to use a Mac instead of the school’s own computers. So anytime I had a problem, the teacher would just blame me using Xcode instead of Visual Studio.

My own meme and it applies here.

Anyone wondering what a “good” president in Philippines looks like, I was made (as a U.S. born Pinoy) to understand this: celebrities go into government because they are celebrities. In my family we used to joke that at the height of Justin Bieber’s popularity, he would get elected if he was Filipino. Just wanted to contrast things.

No joke, Manny Pacquiao was a senator at one time.

Which is?

EDIT: The current government at the time of his death didn’t even want him transported back to the country. He had been in Hawaii for medical treatment. Eventually he got put in a mausoleum. In 2016 when he finally did get a burial, that sparked protest. If you think something other than ex-president can be used as a more appropriate label, I would like to know.

You just reminded me of a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During the Ireland arc (“The Gangs Still in Ireland”, season 15 episode 6), Mac pursues an interest in becoming a Catholic priest. He ends up asking, in a vaguely worded question if it is okay to be gay. By the end, he basically nopes out when he realizes the priest was referring to relations with young boys.

Considering how closely associated this sect of Christendom is with FLDS, a cult, this isn’t a good image for them.
