under space communism we mostly won't have war but we do let the military scifi nerds occasionally blow each other up for made up factions with elaborate lore in the asteroid belt for fun

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

On this weeks episode of why America is terrifying.

im not american but god this is terrifying

Warning people of the existence of sundown towns feels extra important now.

There are several sundown towns still in Indiana and we have to actively warn international students just not to go there or not to rent houses there even though yeah it IS cheaper and they’ll take your money and then drive you out so you break your lease. Martinsville and Osceola are Klan/Neonazi strongholds and it is goddamn sickening. It’s also heartening that the town of Spencer (near Martinsville) was threatened by the Klan that they’d show up and harass people if there was a LGBTQ pride parade in town…cue the town having the largest rural pride festival in the state and the Klan nowhere to be seen.

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

"That is Signal, the Last Follower of the Old Law."

yo, can we get an update from this guy? you think he already jumped from the last floor of his office building?

it wasn't ever normal that you guys were getting coffee for cheaper than people in Brazil and Colombia (the producers) do though, I hope you know that

gquuuuuux was really good i think? hard to say. it had some insane shit that i popped at but i may just be too deep in the gundam sauce. all the stuff after the opening was definitely fun even without the fanservice though

it's the funniest shit in the world that hideaki anno decided after a 0079 rewatch that the REAL yaoi potential was between char and challia bull, the world's oldest 29 year old man

listen imm an astrophysicist. it's fine. nothing bad wil lhappen if we blwoi up the moon

If we blow up the moon all the dust will turn into rings like Saturn and the sky will look like this

Trust me guys. Yes it takes losing the moon but small price to pay for rings.

The biggest misconception in public schools is that literary analysis is about proving you can be right or wrong about a book you read

Literary analysis isn’t about the book

It’s not even about being right

It’s about performing an investigation and presenting your case to the jury

It doesn’t matter if your defendant killed that guy or not. If you can convince the jury he didn’t, you’ve won

And the incredible life skill of spinning bulletproof bullshit out your ass with a handful of facts and a prayer is soooooooo much more valuable than anyone’s ever gonna tell you

Still can't believe the entire campaign relied on people not googling "Tariff" and spending like a minute to read the definiton. "I'm going to introduce tariffs" as a campaign promise is LITERALLY saying "I'm going make the price of things even higher than they already are, for you (usamerican)"

He literally won by telling people to their faces that he's going to make inflation worse. Joke country.

My mom got phished in an EXTREMELY refined scam that pretty much anyone could fall for-- basically her account was already pre-hacked and they spoofed the bank's number exactly, called her pretending there was fraud, and read back legitimate and fake transactions and personal info so she wouldn't suspect they weren't the bank. Then discouraged her from logging in claiming the account was locked so they could investigate the fraud-- all so she wouldnt catch them making massive purchases using her stolen info.

We have the same boss and when she told him what happened he recommended she call the bank directly, so she did and they managed to catch it in time before $20k of transactions went through. Very scary

I guess the lesson here is never ever answer your phone, I love that fraud is so rampant an entire form of mass communication is now useless

ANYONE can fall for phishing scams- my mom is extremely smart and we discuss common scams that target her age demographic and she still fell for this. If it happened to me I may have fallen for it too. Always be careful!

that's EXACTLY what happened to me last spring. it's dire out there....

that’s EXACTLY what

happened to me last spring.

it’s dire out there….

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

If you EVER get ANY call from ANYONE claiming to be a bank or other important group asking you for anything, tell them you will call them back and call them yourself. Do not call a number they give you, look it up yourself.

Banks don't call people, IME. They send emails and texts and put notices on your online account. Credit cards sometimes do I believe, but in that case, just call the number on your card back.

Never take a call from anyone and assume they are who they say. Period. These people are skilled at social manipulation. They will always tell you there is a crisis.

And don't just google the number, use your bank's official site! A lot of search engines are now providing phone numbers of scams instead of legit ones. Also make sure the url of the site matches the one available on cards and other papers you've been given by your bank because fake sites can look VERY convincing.

FYI: the U.S. government will not call you. Is someone calls and says they're the IRS? They're lying. They say they're the sheriff? Lying. ICE? Lying.

The United States will mail you information. If the government needs to reach you, check your mailbox.

The IRS are generally pretty forgiving and will accept that humans make errors. They will never demand immediate payment for back taxes, ever. They know that's not feasible for most people, so they'll usually make a payment plan and help you out. (This is, of course, assuming you're an individual who fucked up their taxes, not someone running a massive tax fraud scheme.)

There’s also a scam going around right now for folks in the USA who use toll roads. NONE of the texts are real, the EZPass website has a huge banner on the site saying they’re all scams.
