This comes up every so often on the RiffTrax twitch channel and, try as I might, I can't make it through more than 20 minutes of it. The guitar noodling, the nonexistent plot, that fucking voice, god it's too awful to even be funny.

"Why don't you?"

You know, when I read The Handmaid's Tale back in high school, I didn't think the ending made any sense. How do you have tourists just walking around taking pictures when there's horrible human rights violations happening in plain sight?

I think I get it now.

Honestly the accounts of the woman who visited almost bother me more than the men. Even as a tourist she wasn't allowed to do certain things, but she can just leave whenever she wants. Wonder how her friends among the locals feel about that.

Getting real uncanny valley vibes from those teeth...

I avoided it for a while because it felt so clunky, but it has really improved in the last decade.

To be fair, there's some stuff that was bred into the gene pool near the inception of the breed that can't be easily removed now. You can reduce the risk by avoiding incest and thorough genetic testing where possible, but there's some health issues that would plague purebreds for a long time even if every breeder in the world was responsible.

Weren't we supposed to die from our contaminated blood a couple years ago? Wonder when that'll come around...

Either this person has never had to deal with parvo, or they have and don't give a shit about their dogs.

Or they're just lying b because no reputable groomer, kennel, or vet would see them without at least rabies, parvo, and kennel cough vaccines.

Lol as if these generations are doing anything different than they were doing before. Kids have always lied about their age to do adult things. Not saying it's healthy, just like it wasn't healthy for kids to get their older brother to buy cigs, but it's not a unique problem and these generations are far from a "lost cause".

As unenforcable as they've always been, and honestly I prefer it that way. Really don't want to give my ID to random websites.

Just learned a new word! Gonna find new and exciting ways to use it.

I was looking around at rental houses a few years back because the owner of our current rental was kicking us out to sell. I visited a house that the owner was "flipping" for rental and noticed there was no stove/oven. I asked the owner about it and he said "oh, tenants usually bring their own."

Place was sketchy as hell in other areas, too; tons of those cheapo plastic panel walls propped up at odd angles hiding god knows what, bare hardwood floors that had clearly had the carpet ripped up without refinishing or even removing all the staples, and slanted floors that really made me feel like I was about to fall into the basement. Luckily we were able to find another place, but it was a low CoL area and I'm sure some desperate family got stuck in that heap.
