Something to laugh about?

~
~

Hey all -

A newish thread. To keep from unraveling. Comic relief or some such.
What made you laugh the most in the 2023 calendar year?

Sometimes we have to laugh instead of crying, other times it can be a
release of emotion, turned fun.

One of the last posts from hecate had this image. Makes me chuckle.

Dark humor seems to be the better bet for me lately. Snark, sarcasm, satire,
parodies, ironic and surreal types all tickle the funny bone.

Besides this thread, what if funny to you?

Not a very good teller of jokes, although a good portion of life seems to be one lately.
The biggest joke lately is Blinky lecturing the world about human rights, democracy
and freedom. Where does this comedian get his skits? SNL is no longer cutting edge
but maybe the writers drifted into politics?

except that it wasn’t funny since it was based on lies and so many people were hurt by it when the sociopaths in charge closed down the world and let the parasite class make many billions.

There is a video in this essay from Yeadon that I can’t embed.

Dr. Mike Yeadon

If you’ve got this far and are still reeling with the shock of having to come to terms with there being very obviously a global conspiracy, you may still lack context.

I more or less fell over the wonderful Scottish thinker, historian, and philosopher, Alan Watt (not to be confused with plummy-voiced Englishman Alan Watts).

There’s a lot of Alan Watt, just speaking about how we got here. Under the name “Cutting Through The Matrix”, there are recordings of hundreds of hours of Alan, describing the last 150 years of ever increasing world domination by the self-proclaimed elites.

Click here to listen

This definitely wasn’t a joke and there is plenty of evidence that shows that this is exactly what Rockefeller did. Humanity survived for thousands of years because doctors were using natural ways to treat illnesses. And rumors are that someone created a cure for cancer, but Rockefeller bought it and then he hid it way because the parasite wanted people to die horrible deaths so that the population didn’t get too large. Rockefeller and Ford were both eugenicists.

Watch: Did You Know? How John D. Rockefeller Founded Modern Medicine And Took Away Natural Cures:

“Any mention of the healing powers of herbs, plants, and diet was erased from most medical textbooks.”

Doctors and professors who objected the Rockefeller’s plan were crucified by the media, removed from the American Medical Association (AMA), and stripped of their license to teach and practice medicine.

Sound familiar?

This was a major opportunity for Rockefeller who saw the ability to monopolize the oil, chemical and the medical industries at the same time.

The best thing about petrochemicals was that everything could be patented and sold for high profits.

Share this clip to spread awareness.

I’ll delete this comment if you want….

Sorta….

Zelensky is calling up the disabled and mentally ill to send into combat with little training. Fighting to the last Ukrainian isn’t an American joke either.

Death toll is 18 including 2 children. Russia sent over 150 missiles, but they said they targeted military targets and hit a warehouse full of mercenaries and a couple of airports and aircraft where some of the recent bombs on Russian warships came from. The civilian casualties in Ukraine came from their own missiles trying to shoot Russian ones down. Who knows who is telling the truth, but Ukraine civilian casualties are much lower than what Israel, America and its NATO goons have caused in the last 2 decades.

Oh yeah and all the places Blinken mentioned are just more lies from him.

Russia recently conquered a very fortified town where lots of the attacks on the Donbas came from. Ritter says that this is huge. And Russia has almost encircled Adveeka and the 47th brigade that is mostly made up of Nazi soldiers. They also say that Ukraine is almost out of weapons…which is funny because that’s what Biden has been saying about Russia for 2 years. Weird how every time he says that Russia shows him how big a liar he is…Biden also just said that maybe American troops will have to fight Russia.

I love dark humor. A few of my favorite movies in the genre are Death to Smoochy, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Ruthless People, and Very Bad Things.

A few dark humor cartoons.

....are all the formal predictions about the future coming down from every direction. Why so many predictions these days? Perhaps there is a Reader demand for something predictable since the West has stepped so far out of bounds in its own behavior in the world. This territory is uncharted.

In recent years, the unthinkable is suddenly commonplace. We've have Nazis running amok in the world, with US politicians cheering them on. The politicians are breaking their promises as fast as they make them. We see blatant crimes committed by the "good" guys, while the "bad" guys are expressing honorable values and showing respect and generosity toward all humanity. The liars of the media can't keep their lies straight, and the psychopaths in power have stopped pretending they are normal people. The masks are off. People who have strong political and social biases are finding it impossible to keep their prejudices to themselves. Meanwhile, in order to cover up the endless faux pas that are blurted on the news, the meanings of most political labels have been flipped on their heads, confusing every0one..

The Deeply Dumb faction on the right have concluded that political label they learned to hate in the past — has to be aligned with the Far Left. Thus Marxists, Nazis, Dictators, Socialists, Autocrats, Antifa, Anarchists, Cubans, Gloibalists, and Chi-coms have become the interchangeable villains of the Far Left. These same Dumbs admire gun runners, the Wall Street wealthy, the armed forces, government contractors, bad cops, tax dodgers, country-western entertainers, war-mongers, chicken hawks, devisive politicians, Preachers of the Profit-Cospel, their Zionist Overlords, and the official executioners of the Authoritarian State. There are no Leftist institutions to describe because a political Left opposition has never been allowed to form in the United States. Thus, there is no national shame, or guilt, or self-reflection in the US. There is no "Voice of the People," no formal consent, and no equality in justice.

But there has been a bumper crop of predictions this year about what happens next. Mostly idiotic. Largely based on fantasy projections and the daily propaganda. "What happens next?" is a big question in everyone's minds because the real events that have taken place (censored in public discussions) are things that the public has never really contemplated. This is particularly ironic here, because this website has talked non-stop for a decade about the reckoning the failed US Empire is facing for its crimes and betrayals. At the moment, all the magazines and Editorial Boards are dishing out their top ten predictions, completely unaware of the trap. Someone should really keep track of all this. These tired thinkers are revealing that they know absolutely nothing about how other cultures see the world. The only thing that the media mouthpieces of the Western press are able to see are Communist Spy Balloons hidden the the could overhead. And that's what I find comical.

Mars Bars, but I can't locate or replicate them. This, sadly, leaves me bereft of humor, be it acqueous or vitreous.

Unless, of course you haven't heard of the Panda bear that walked into a bar, ate some bar food, shot the barkeeper and left. When questioned, he showed them a dictionary entry for Pandas "Large black and white bear, eats shoots and leaves"

That said, have a good weekend and happy new year.

But it’s true.

The New Blue Screen Of Death? "Your Vehicle Cannot Be Driven"

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Gone are the days of Windows 95; heading into the year 2024, there's an entirely new "blue screen of death" people apparently need to be watching out for - in their cars.

This week a photo went viral on social media purporting to show a Ford vehicle displaying a "your vehicle cannot be driven" message after a failed software update. "Please call customer support," the screen urges.

In response, another shared issues they were having with Ford's OTA updates, stating: "I'm still dealing with a failed OTA update. My 6.2.0 was incomplete. Called Ford Motor Company and they confirmed the failed update and stated the update would try again within 30 days. 60 days later, with no update, they sent me to a dealer for service."

The nightmare continued: "Dealer claimed to have updated the software. My car was delivered to my home and nothing was fixed. In fact, my software reverted to 4.2.1. Now my service manager has no idea what to do. I can't change drive modes, open trunk or frunk, and pre-collision warning turns on all the time. I can still drive but with limited capability. Feels like a car with a sprained ankle."

Car companies have started charging monthly fees for things that they used to include for free. This is end stage rentier society when there isn’t much more blood to squeeze from us turnips.
