Holy shit, the Imgur user base has gone into outright war with the new corporate owners who fired all the US-based operations folks and broke the site over the weekend. This is hilarious, and exactly what they deserve.

I'm gonna need an adult up in here to tell me that I definitely don't need to 3D print an entire set of Mk.3 Iron Man armor.

Man, I forgot how good Tales from the Crypt was, and how many big names were in it before they were really big. The Cryptkeeper animatronics really hold up, too. Shame it's so tangled up in copyright hell.

Dear budding card collectors. Never, never, NEVER buy these. Not once. Not even on a gamble. Not as a goof. They are always scams.

Listen, Flight 8 might have exploded like the piece of shit Musk is, but that doesn't mean I can't be proud of the people that went into putting a rocket into space to test something new. Also can we just take a second to celebrate that my space camp jacket from when I was 16 still fits me?

Aside from how horrific it is for him to be openly lying about something you yourself can go verify, using "retarded" as a pejorative perfectly defines how much of a piece of shit he is. It makes sense since Trump appointed him and he's also one. Like attracts like.
Case closed. Full stop.

You cannot conduct a peace negotiation between two nations by excluding one of those nations. That, by definition, isn't a negotiation. It's exploitation of a victim.

I was just talking about the complexity of foreign affairs with some folks. There will be countries MORE than happy to fill the void, and they aren't the ones we'll want doing it. Because in one hand they'll have the help, and in the other they'll hold the propaganda about how evil the West is.
