I use Opera on a Mac for all my Bing-based Edge-recommending needs.

RFK Jr. strikes again. I’ll never understand why people like him can’t grasp the idea that the difference between medicine and poison is often dosage.

The amount of fluoride in these tablets is nowhere near unsafe levels. It’s not even close.

I’d buy one for about tree-fiddy.

This isn’t for AntiOutsideAktion. This is for anyone else who stumbles on this thread, so you can be absolutely clear on what happened.

1. I responded to the question posed in the headline as follows: “Yes. They have been for years now. Our far-right are a bunch of fucking idiot assholes, and easily manipulated.”
   My comment was accurate. Despite years of concerted effort by Russia’s defenders and proxies, their troll army is well-documented, and their targeting of right-wing idiots in the United States is equally well-documented. It happened. It’s happening now.
2. In response, AntiOutsideAktion said this: “Anyway now that I’ve explained how my domestic political opposition are easily manipulated, let me explain to you how everything bad that’s ever happened is the fault of the outside enemy.”
   That is a disingenuous and obvious strawman of what I said. I never claimed “everything bad that’s ever happened is the fault of the outside enemy.” The fact that our right-wing dipshits are so easily led astray is entirely on them.
3. So I called him out on that.

The end. That’s what happened. And that’s why I’m not even remotely interested in his takes on anything else, and he’s going on my otherwise-mostly-empty block list after I post this comment.

Hmmm. If 10 is average and 30 is world-class…

• Strength: 13. I’m a big and fairly muscular guy who goes to the gym regularly.
• Dexterity: 10 (+1). I’m not clumsy, but I’m no gymnast, either. Strictly average, all things considered. I give myself one bonus point on account of being ambidextrous.
• Constitution : 12. Again, regular at the gym. Should probably do more cardio, though.
• Intelligence: 15. I’m a software developer, I’m working on being bilingual, and I have a lot of varied interests. You’ll also note that I can spell and use punctuation properly, which is sadly outside the norm. I’m not bragging, I know I’m well above average in intelligence.
• Wisdom: 10. I’m not the stereotype of a book-smart-but-foolish person, but I’m also smart enough to know I’m not winning any hypothetical wisdom awards. I’ve made average amounts of boneheaded mistakes.
• Charisma: 12 (+1). I’m a better-than-average public speaker, and I have it on good authority (my wife) that I’m reasonably handsome. I also get the (completely unfair) tallness modifier.

All in all, my D&D stats would be pretty decent. Nothing anywhere near the peak of human potential, but not bad.

Yes. They have been for years now. Our far-right are a bunch of fucking idiot assholes, and easily manipulated.

So, uhhh, just put of curiosity, any particular add-ons you’d suggest?

Jesus. We’re gonna have a surgical residency dropout and anti-vaccine nut as our surgeon general.

That’s fucking insane.

Fixed that.

One step closer to just erasing trans people.

I need to remain hopeful. For my sanity.

Genocide. This is blatant, obvious, inexcusable genocide. Israel is now a rogue state.

If we manage to survive as a democratic republic, there are a lot of fascism enablers who need to be (scrupulously legally) prosecuted for it.

Okay, at first I literally did think this was an Onion headline, it’s so fucking idiotic.

Unlike a lot of people, I think the orange shit-head is more evil than stupid… But goddamn, he’s also incredibly stupid.

Once again, it’s not deportation. When a U.S. citizen is forcibly transported to another country, it’s kidnapping and human trafficking.

The fire nation attacks!

We’re pretty stupid over here right now. Sorry, world.

It’s old, but… I’ll allow it.

Also…

Dingdong. Willy. Johnson. One-eyed sailor. Trouser snake.

Now it’s your turn.

Here’s one!
