Any teenaged FC users who may have gone to High School with Musk's DOGE kids during COVID? If so, could you forward them this video?


A small sample of the money we're setting on fire in Yemen right now. All because the Peaceful Dove and Amazing DEALS President is too much of a pussy to pick up the phone and tell Netanyahu to stop violating the ceasefire he agreed to👍

I'm visiting Depoe Bay, OR, the site of the fictional boat trip of the mental patients of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". At a recreational cannabis store, I found $40 oz of great looking buds. I'm here for a few days, so Ill stock up. You can buy 2 oz a day: yay!

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased Magie, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly". This is why very few games of Monopoly end in better friendships! Some even end friendships! What they couldn't erase was Magie's lesson.

Besides the egalitarian aspect, Magie's version apparently has waterfront properties. Liking her version better.

Fyi, Monopoly gets most of its names from Atlantic City’s street plan. However you feel about the Jersey Shore, it’s definitely on the water, Coney Island whitefish and all.

Back when I was still combusting, a friend and I got blazed in a lifeguard tower then hit a casino. A bartender got a whiff of us as we walked by and sat us down to a couple of longnecks— told us to air out a bit before we got thrown out by security, lol.

I was there for a couple Furthur shows awhile back and it was so much fun! I just love its semi-trashy nature, the beach, the beach cats, etc. Went back after a major hurricane and a lot of it was still reeling from the impact. Hope they figure out how to keep it viable for hippies and families, especially those that live there.

This is the executive order that makes it a crime to hurt Israel's feelings.

"14" refers to the "14 words", a slogan used by White Supremacists.

"88" is a code Nazis use online meaning "Heil Hitler".

I'm beginning to think these guys don't really care about antisemitism :shrug:

FYI Reese’s uses a different peanut filling in their Easter eggs, much better imho than original 🤔.

100%! Back in university I overheard an impassioned debate over which version of Reese’s was the best: Christmas, Easter, Mini or Regular. The Easter and Christmas ones were the frontrunners since they use the same thinner/creamier and sweeter peanut mixture, but the Easter ones won the debate since they had the highest peanut butter to chocolate ratio.

They also make dairy free reeses cups which have better chocolate than the originals! Used to give or throw away my reeses and hersheys as a kid since I couldn’t stand the butyric acid in their original chocolate. Think the peanut filling is also closer to their holiday fillings, but it’s been years since I’ve tried the originals.
