there! look! he is right there! Only part 1 but presumably his torso and legs are nearby
Just one week ago I posted a tiny picture of Hulk “can I stop paying Marvel royalties for my first name now?” Hogan on this website and today he is dead. Let that be a lesson for you: believing in omens, curses and general superstitions lead to delusions and terrible judgement.
once he finished lying to children that they could get success like his through legitimate means, he spent the rest of his life burning bridges, stepping on former friends, using clout to get his way, long past the point where there was any personal practical benefit to getting his way, and shilling for garbage, all stemming from his ability to pretend to be good at fighting weirdly back in the 1980s, and in the end the only people with anything nice to say about him are right wing wealthy (at least in this obituary which may be picking and choosing whom it quotes) and or oblivious scumbags and even they rarely have any point of reference from the 1990s or later.
Really he might as well have been dead 30 years ago. (presumably I am still talking about Hogan; thankfully Carrot Top has never been socially relevant). I can only be grateful he was never able to become US president, bare his full awfulness to the world and have the entertaining parts of his legacy become completely sickening in retrospect the way trump’s did
i saw this line in shining force 3 and could only imagine it being spoken in the same voice hogan used in No Holds Barred to say the same thing and that is still funny for me to think about.
and for years I believed this (since I only had a wav file) was from 1991’s Suburban Commando but it is actually from 1989’s No Holds Barred, again failing to supercede the 1980s True enough, the 3 ninjas hogan I posted last week was from 1997 but as noted it was also incredibly tiny and I don’t know a single dumb line of dialog from that nor have even mis-attributed one to it.
a bonus, I was looking for Hogan-related lines in my quotation file to use as the header here and saw this one but I liked my dumb little comment on it too much to post without context. I wonder who that product would even have been for; even by 2006 Hogan was over 50 years old and probably not considered a profoundly energetic figure and if he was it wasn’t from drinking branded bad dubious soda
anyway with this event the last surviving person who was allowed to call me “dude” is deceased so I can be much more emphatic in my requests to not be called that going forward.
this ought to do/undude it
Here is the airplane stuff I did not post a month ago. Really not any less depressing now! even though it is mostly about the always-on electricity-wasting, fare-raising screens stuck to the seats immediately in front of passengers
first of all I refuse to Enter [My] Seatback Experience nor call it that except for the purpose of showing how stupid it looks when i type out that label myself.
ESPECIALLY if you aren’t a heteronormative white guy who never had an organic or fact-informed opinion on anything unrelated to what genitalia someone has and how to persecute them on account of that while ignoring their actual merit, even while “merit” has become a bizarre code word for “heternormative white guy.”
Apart from THAT, the statement “the world awaits” assumes that climate-change related freak weather events caused by regulation cuts instituted by the same sort of people who want you locked up without explanation or justification don’t get your destination airport shut down for a prolonged length of time because it isn’t safe to fly through them and pog forbid the weather freakoff starts while the plane is in flight since air traffic controllers are getting laid off all over the place.
this picture is a lie. i have the computer open right now* and this space does not exist. i cannot extend my arms or open the screen fully without pulling the machine closer than that. The person in the photograph has two full window lengths of space. i have about 1.1, 1.2 MAYBE.
*it was right now when i wrote it but last month by right now
there is plainly not two windows per seat. even with the tray fully extended it is not possible to use the computer non-awkwardly, and forget about having any surface to use a mouse on. Thankfully I learned to use it against my right leg years ago in other uncomfortable locations. But after so long stuck on the plane during hours of delays with no place to charge it even if my charger weren’t stuck in my carry-on bag that got tossed into the baggage compartment by the staff anyway to cut 2 minutes off of the boarding process prior to the four hours of delays there isn’t enough battery left in the thing to use anyway except for awkwardly typing out some gripey notes.
i have NEVER had this facial expression while on an airplane, if ever. This is only plausible if it accompanies an internal realization that life has no meaning, reality is imaginary and leads directly to brazen criminal acts that i assume this presentation is not intended to endorse.
This journey was the first time i had to put in barely adequate earbudpodphones just to block out top 40 radio hits being pumped into the cabin prior to take-off. i assumed delta paid extra for the “right” to make my experience worse, but then the audio feed advertised spotify so maybe spotify paid for it. Somebody else paid somebody else to diminish the bearability of this situation. Soon after i heard mouth-whistling breaking through my block-out and was glad to be missing the full context. No corporation-approved music with whistling in it has ever been not awful. During the outgoing and return flights it was necessary to take a smaller, dinkitier airplane between Tallahassee and Atlanta. Most advertised features were missing on the smaller plane but it STILL had the crummy music imposed on passengers, though with shoddier, mufflier sound quality and I was unable to determine if it being harder to hear made the experience worse or better since I would still prefer just engine noise.
If you love a brand it is only because you do not know that brand because not one of them has any of your best or even good interests in mind. If you don’t own it, it aims to own you.
And I think having this awful rubbish presented to me is supposed to be a “perk” of the “sky miles” membership program that the trip organizer belongs to. I don’t know for certain that people in the back of the plane have access to these wonderful bonus advertisements for corporate mediocrity. I can verify that the wifi DID function but again there wasn’t much i could do with it in a cramped tiny space and hardly any battery left over except type out complaints, but LIVE to my pathetic discord chat server and wow jeeplies how exciting to get whining about airplane delays in REAL TIME.
wheeeeeee
Coca cola specifically is formulated to be drank rapidly and repeatedly and NOT savored, and possibly is the first consumer product that was. I drink coke, because the brand owns that piece of me. I don’t want it to, but i can taste when a similar drink is not coke. There is worse coke to have a chemical dependency on but better than worst is worse than good.
I do drink iced tea with more regularity than coke but foremost drink water and GOSH isn’t this fascinating to read about! And that is a bimshwel.com exclusive; i have never said that in the chat server. I need to provide incentives to not look at both.
popeye is considered public domain now so legally me showing pictures from the comic strips is not participating in corporate mediocrity
welcome to bradley international airport
a restroom only for people with capes and no arms
Bradley can’t get you a direct flight from connecticut to florida but the center of the earth is apparently viable.
i started to write about the actual airplane experience but it got depressing again so i will put that off for later/never
these are the only sort of books allowed in florida now. And even these are mostly missing with the rest shoved behind a curtain.
Which is ALSO depressing but it is more plausible for florida to stop being depressing than the entire world’s aviation industry
do not ever ask me to sign a card. I will probably undo any inspirational effect the card is meant to have.
I often have difficulty getting “work” done during family trips since I can easily feel discomfortingly scrutinized
even when i am not working on anything this may seem to occur
I suspect that this mobile device quiz game may use artificial intelligence generated content. However i appreciate that “bible characters” and “fictional characters” are represented by the same person.
still the bootleggedness of the creature in the middle is rather surprising considering that tallahassee florida’s international airport
has a pokeball right in the center of this enormous compass design on the floor in recognition of all the directions you can look in to find dunkin donuts kiosks and also places it doesn’t have flights to or from.
Bradley airport sure doesn’t have one, which is why I was so understanding when i saw this in a gasoline station a few days before the trip, and also too self conscious to take a picture of it. and a week before that i saw that not only is A-Team plumbing still in business and under the same name, it actually has a truck with the same unauthorized fake-anime mr t drawn on the side of it driving through New Haven, connecticut’s most police-actiony city. Plainly the anti-china tariffs have been a long time coming which is why america has been stepping up its shoddy arbitrary copyright infringement.
I really want something other than that ugly ripoff pikachu to be the last picture or ripoff mr t pitying stool to be the last thought
hey! make sure you always cut up your N before disposing of it so fish do not get stuck in it. this fish doesn’t appear to mind but this fish is probably a moron. Most fish are. That doesn’t mean they deserve to get trapped in N.
the decapitated shadowmen appear to be demanding a human sacrifice
that may be worse! Especially if “like cowboys” is intended as a separate thought and a command rather than a clarification on the first one. I REFUSE to like cowboys.
am I going to prison?
and it isn’t even hard to edit mickey mouse into a nazi uniform or simply draw one.
not that i have a particular problem with felix the cat beyond my usual aesthetic frustration with characters that are all one color except around parts of their face and inaugurating minstrel show stereotypes in animation, but the picture i edited (and that I can’t for the moment find posted on any of my better accounts) already had felix in it. but i think this is consistent with mickey mouse being a ripoff of felix. in an alternate situation where mickey mouse’s fascist views were more outwardly expressed, that would only happen because felix did it first.
more to the “point,” as what seems to be usual, AI-generation’s foremost appeal is to the laziest, selfishist, basest, most hateful people who might as well be wearing those uniforms themselves.
The right wing vendetta against disney is pretty stupid because for 99% of its existence the disney corporation exclusively pushed conservative values:
-virtue is hereditary.
-wealth is deserved — if not by nobility, CERTAINLY the monarchy above them, provided it is the prettiest members of the monarchy.
-hetero normative whites are the only people who matter, in the event other types of people exist.
-corporations are OWED not just business but loyalty.
-corporations are not subject to the laws of common folk.
-if you can buy something you deserve the right to claim creative ownership of it and charge other people to look at it. if you can claim it without buying it, even better
Disney helped pound that stuff into the brains of lazy, selfish, base, hateful people. And it’s STILL doing that, but since those boneheads turned on it, gladly wasting luxembourgs worth of electricity just to regurgitate non-jokes about it, it somehow gets credit for being progressive, and its usual agenda continues to go virtually unscrutinized by anyone with credibility. Me having no credibility is implicit in that statement.
credibility may be overrated
based on something that happened actually to someone other than me. Somebody who didn’t trust doctors in the past due to legitimate bad experiences more recently had issues discontinuing a medication at the same time as getting caught up in a misinformation vortex meant to discredit scientists so to funnel support toward republican political candidates with no regard for people who actually need help and aren’t ever going to vote for scumbags, now distrusts doctors harder than ever and keeps getting worse mentally due to not trusting doctors so to get help with the medication issue but then also cannot be guided out of that due to continually getting stuck with doctors who seem less than trustworthy. In fact it is rather an ongoing matter but i think, i hope, the worst is over with, so i can justify posting the comic strip in the absence of anything else remotely coherent.
Now I need to take this computer apart to try and replace the “thermal paste” within it due to my other ongoing crisis that people getting paid loads of money could have prevented and saved trouble for countless common folk but didn’t. If I succeed at this I still will only have scrappy website updates but will have a substantially reduced chance of blowing up the computer and setting my home on fire if I ever get back to attempting to create better updates.
/////////////////////
ah nope, worse than ever. i definitely have to pay somebody to fix it or buy another one now. which i partially expected but i was never psychologically prepared to deal with. taking that thing apart and especially putting it back together, then dismantling it and remantling it again and only getting this is more than i can do a third time and potentially STILL get… this. plenty of videos showing how to take everything out but you are mostly on your own when it comes to putting stuff back in.
most of your screws are just not in or the wrong place. one is wrong and ruined and unremovable and thus the power port will forever after be lopsided AND i didn’t even need to remove that one
the screws DO NOT WANT to go back in. they want to stick to my fingers. they want to fall into different places and roll around unvisibly. they want to get stuck sideways and then fly to oblivion when freed.
and after all that, when it simply shuts off after a few seconds, it gives no indication of what thing that i did wrong was the culprit. I have been doing things wrong my whole life, possibly even beans on toast, i can’t work with something that needs all things done correctly.
i have my data, but i can’t do anything with it on this crummy backup computer that i bought for my mother that my sister then commandeered. it has TWO (2) usb ports, and i need 3, for mouse, keyboard, and tablet, not counting the one connected to the
hard drive toaster thing. and i also “have to” go on a week long “vacation” and nothing is less relaxing to me than being stuck in some other place on someone else’s conditions and not about work on my personal stupid nonsense. there certainly isn’t time to order a new machine then and i don’t trust any place to fix this fast and not charge moreforfeoieroufreefropfrupidorfrupefrupefrupelope
was trying to use ptm 7950 instead of paste like reddit dorks insisted was better the problem? would it be working now if i had just used paste? is someone that i pay $200+ just going to use paste? I don’t know. any time i open it up another screw goes missing and every time i have to reconnect the blorks to the wifi card i think i lose a year off my life.
i swear this comic strip is not about me. I have ISSUES but they aren’t new or freshly medicated.
/////////////////////
ah! it lives! I had not screwed the fan in tightly enough. One of the guides I looked at warned against screwing the fan in too tightly and as usual i drew the wrong conclusion from advice that i probably would have been fine without receiving. Good thing i dared to look back inside; i almost had a nervous breakdown when i resigned myself to using GIMP on a backup computer for the next twoish weeks. How do I move a selection? I don’t know! I thought just KRITA made that stupid. I am glad it doesn’t have to be my problem.
I don’t know if i actually solved the INITIAL problem of overheating but i seem to have alleviated the apparently more serious problem of me touching the computer inappropriately. It has more screws outside of it than in and the keyboard is on my bed since I got tireder and tireder of hooking stuff like that back up just for nothing to happen. Ideally I will sort that out before getting on an airplane because this thing presently looks almost as dangerous as four ounces of water with its insides and wires exposed.
and my mind state is like I have been “away” from using the computer for a week or longer when it was just a single day. Maybe this is a sign of mental illness. I will add it to my collection
GREAT. It’s about time. We’ll finally have Hitler on the ropes.
I like The Guardian, generally, but why is this news? Modern technology being able to beat up less-new technology is not impressive and is not related to any of the reasons that this particular technology is noteworthy or criticized
I don’t think anybody assumed present artificial intelligence couldn’t do that, or even PONDERED if it could, and that it CAN doesn’t justify its rampant undesired incursions where it doesn’t belong, much less the obscene amounts of electricity that it wastes.
What is AI doing about our present 2025 nazi problem apart from generating meme videos, self-published book covers and fake “evidence” against perceived enemies for them?
the actual article seems to be about showing how far artificial intelligence has come since its origin but as often happens, the headline makes it seem more sensational and obnoxious. Although sometimes that isn’t possible
in a different story about a totally ludicrous circumstance presented as if it is normal that i already saw being mocked before the guardian reported on it,
If it is “ai-generated” it is NOT evidence. That is called forgery. Fabrication. Fraud. It also has nothing to do with the incredibly absurd and creepy “victim impact statement” that this story is actually about, and this proves it isn’t just the headline-smith making things stupider.
I don’t understand how a legitimate newspaper can be pro-ai-generation or even neutral on the topic when that’s precisely what the right wing creeps they generally report on the flagrant immorality of want to use to put true journalists, if not all writers and artists, out of business. Though admittedly some should be easier to put out of business than others.
are you making beans on toast wrong? And also speaking IMPROPERLY? How is it even POSSIBLE to put beans on to toast and have it not be correct if any way is correct? That seems even harder to screw up than beef stew over biscuits. And if i like it that way, why is that anyone else’s business? Or news? Unless you take money to run trash stories like this? And if you do, how much are AI creeps giving you, and will it have been worth poisoning your very livelihood?
perhaps some people simply enjoy being poisoned
I do not think “rollercoaster” is a proper assessment; that would require going back up before going down again. Trump policy forgoes laws of physics, among others
b-b-but it could WORK!
the fault (regarding this communication) might be with the headline writer. it often is. the headline implies with “it could work” that a net positive outcome is possible, whereas it merely means that those who already control pretty much everything MIGHT get to control slightly more of it.
they have no love or happiness (and possibly are quite dirty) and so only “win” by depriving others further. they can’t use what they deprive you of, but it is more important that you don’t have it.
march 31 supposedly was “trans day of visibility,” and as it usually goes I did not know there was one or that it was coming, and so was unprepared.
I also do not know if i properly qualify as “trans” but i absolutely have trans-like issues via preferring ambiguity, on account of not believing that i would be accepted as a full trans person, which a good many people and systems who don’t know me [and a few who sadly do believe that they know me would] still scorn me for, and i also hate to be seen, perhaps in large part due to those issues, so here comes this
on further reflection it isn’t all that different from this idea except i spent substantially less time drawing it and no longer share a bathroom with other people’s toothbrushes
Today’s might have communicated its message better if i showed the creature driving and going to a store to obtain the potion ingredients and emphasizing how it fares poorly when seen amidst doing that, but I have shown that before also! It didn’t communicate its point well but they never do. I would almost hate to break from tradition if I knew how.
this is just the sort of non-divisive, clear-purposed thing i need to put on my you tube page after inexplicably reaching more people than usual with the last one
unfortunately this still isn’t as funny to me as a regular insultinator but i had to see it to know.
The GALL of that DUMB little machine calling anyone else “obNOXious” makes me laugh just to think about. i tried to imitate its inflection as much as possible but it does not suit some of these words. By the end it turned into something that wasn’t quite anything, as often occurs.
An earlier version of this just showed pictures of that one person’s hand pressing the buttons and then two other dorks holding the things up while pressing buttons but i could not get a reply from one (the other had seemingly been missing for quite some time) and once i replaced that person i decided to replace all the stolen clips except for the initial one that establishes how the actual device works. i never got a reply from that person either but since I have only stolen video of his hand i am less paranoid about causing problems.
I also did not in my requests clarify that I don’t actually think these are good or valid insults. Because i thought it was obvious. Even though I consistently and constantly overestimate anyone’s ability to have any idea why I do anything. Especially just the sort of people who would think these insults were good would also think a machine which emits such insults would be good.
And stupider me, I forgot that there is an actual doom level with a large iconic object that shouts something weird then shoots out monsters that most casual players of doom would be familiar with, and I could have just pasted the insultinator graphics over that, though it wouldn’t have hitler sky visible. Ideally the hellknights’ lawyers won’t send me any threatening letters about this like the last time I deployed sky hitlers.
point of view: being kidnapped by Mr. Clean
“loving hands” refers not only to his love of using hands to commit crime, but also his strong platonic fondness of a clean getaway
does it really count as a “recipe” if the instructions are essentially “follow instructions?” If they can be summarized by “see title?” Is it just not permissible to have blank, nonsense-information-free space on a product label?
I have beef stew
I have biscuits
but how can i get beef stew OVER biscuits?
WELL it goes like this:
get your beef stew
get your biscuits
put the beef stew over the biscuits
I refuse!
a stupid video that wasn’t supposed to take me hours to assemble.
i knew higher quality samples were IN the rom i just didn’t realize they were so accessible until recently when i tried to look it up and came across this page from a forum. i assumed there were already videos exhibiting this since that forum post is from 2011, but there weren’t, at least not under the search terms i tried.
I tried to explain within the video how to pull these sounds out of a rom, since it isn’t complicated, and in fact can be easier than that page even says, but it did not fit gracefully into the first few
seconds and looked worse than what I replaced it with. maybe i will try to add more information to it later before un-unlisting the video, or maybe I will just forget it for another week.
///////////////////
eh no I just added the words “straight from the rom” and hopefully implied the simplicity of it without saying much. most likely nobody cares whatever the case and this is a non-issue!
2-22-2025 oh borf was that ten days? too many dumb projects, i lose track of days.

maybe you even think pit fighter makes it redundant oh ho ho ho
i realize it has been common for cleaning products to label themselves as “grease fighter” or “stain fighter” for a long time but I feel like this presentation would have neither been approved by the product company’s own research much less the primarily FOOD-selling store displaying it on shelves in the not terribly distant past. I suppose that is pre-emoji thinking; visual depictions of it have been on adhesive bandages for over six years by now. ALSO apparently one of the pictures on that site entry has been broken and not showing up for an equal length of time and my comment about “spot cleaning” beneath it totally incomprehensible, and nobody noticed despite this site actually having a few readers I hadn’t personally alienated back then because my comments have always been incomprehensible.
[more] Useless information! the “pit fighter” image is seemingly randomly mirrored depending on the whim of its user/no reason. so i wondered: which version is forwards? Assuming the money hands weren’t digitally inserted, the more common orientation seems to show BACKWARDS vintage $20 bills!
It is hard to tell since the picture is somewhat blurry, US currency tends to be symmetrical in layout and a backwards 2 can resemble a 5, or even itself when the slanted part is obscured. However only $20 units have the column/scroll effect on the left and right.
Proving the foreground hands are part of the original photograph rather than added and possibly cloned later is more complicated since Pit Fighter is so cheap that it can be difficult to believe the set director had TWO handfuls of twenties lying around
I forgot I made this stupid rom hack and consequently assumed I had no kid icarus screenshots whatsoever rather than pictures from this one and was about to look up a youtube video from which to take a picture of this text. It still looks better than most ports of pit fighter. I have a stupid life.
i suppose heart throbs is a better name than heart stabs, or myocardial murder munchies. Maybe “bleedies” would have worked
wah calm down please don’t shoot me with your alien ray gun, unfamiliar shouting person. This seems to indicate that your name is “Coco” but were that the case I can think of numerous other cereals that ought to have offered you endorsement deals.
not this one, though i would certainly welcome it if it meant keeping that creep bee away from My Kids.
i saw this plush effigy of the stop and shop “marty” robot in a bin with horrible elf legs decoration and thought they deserved each other.
apparently i have only mentioned marty one time, which may be too many. It is impossible to go to a stop and shop and not see one. what it does is slowly roll around the edges of aisles to try and block potential shoppers from entering or exiting. it searches for the tiniest, least consequential scraps of paper on the ground, then stops in place and starts calling out “Hazard, detected” forever until someone comes along and presses a hidden button on it that makes it shut up until it encounters another such obstruction. It is also able to trigger “clean up needed” announcements throughout the whole store if nobody presses the button soon enough. I presume its deployment has been used as justification for terminating employees. But fortunately these cheap pieces of trash ensure that a few additional sweat shop kids can earn three cents a day assembling them in the nearest country with no child protection laws. I think that is Trickle Down Economics.
I was surprised to see one in a half price bin since they tend to linger on designated shelves at full price after other similarly-themed merchandise would have been shuffled out of there and replaced with the next seasons’.
I call them “cheap” in the metaphorical sense. These full price pumpkin martspawn being from november 3 doesn’t PROVE my statement but apart from them christmas merchandise was already being rolled out in this section and there was no apparent inclination to get these out of there. They seem to be vying for the title of World’s Most Notorious Pumpkin
OH well pardon ME
other less prestigious positions may yet be available
these are going to be collector’s items one day. specifically, on wednesday, when a big truck drives around town gathering things like this, provided they have been deposited into the appropriate curbside vessel.
with that dorky facial expression and yellow helmet Dong Cheng seems more like Bong Cheng. I am not entirely surprised that his belt-inspired assassination attempt failed.
also it took me over nine years to mention this. despite a more html-named and internet-shrunken version appearing in the offline “nev” folder that i used in 2018, It is not in the online “nev” folder! What are you hiding from, Bong Cheng? nothing is beneath me now
ah ha sometimes i forget that a few other people still have standards
fortunately i do not feel like giving any right now!
