Dammit I'm tired of waiting for you bastards to come up with a clever thread title. I've got things to discuss.

Good article in WSJ about how companies require a degree for all kinds of jobs that in no way require a degree. https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-neede...06000?mod=e2fb

So either we a) try to change this culture or b) just say **** it and highly encourage/subsidize everyone to attend college or trade school.

The other added benefit of this as I see it - in this time of massive labor glut that's only getting worse and worse with automation - is it keeps kids out of the workforce for a while longer.

As you know I'm a much bigger fan of creative ways of shrinking the labor pool/hours worked vs. something like straight UBI - for a host of reasons. Regardless of whether or not you think most people are biologically equipped to handle idle time - it's politically moot IMO because white people can't seem to handle minorities getting free money from the govt under any circumstances. And we already have a very ****ty UBI for poor whites - disability.

I got "Senile Possum"

I will ship $20 on paypal to anyone who can make a good gif of John Batiste's reaction in this clip.

Ebola kittens


Dog may not even be in my top five power ranking of animals I don't want to eat, tbh.

Welcome to the Swamp-Stuck Self bar and grill

Hanged, Drawn and Quartered Human

Doesn't have a good ring to it.

"End of the universe anything"

That's beautiful - PM me paypal info.

Also what do you use to do that? I know how to turn youtubes into gifs - but this was a twitter embedded video or whatever.

i use Camtasia to do the screen capture, then i import that video as frames in Photoshop.

donate the $20 to the aclu in mason malmuth's name if you can

I got "Next to my ex wife and her vagina."

Mason, the ACLU appreciates your support.

On second thought, AIDS Monkey sounds much more hip than a lot of these other ones.

Reminds of being labeled a chaos monkey at work.

If anyone is looking for a good April Fool's prank and knows an Oreo lover, remove the stuff from an Oreo and replace it with toothpaste.

“To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1,” the recording begins, in Russian and English. Press 2 “to use the services of Russian hackers,” and 3 “to request election interference.”

Companies getting back to outsourcing. Seem to be less scared of the Trump wrath or any major revisions to global trade policy.

Definitely meme worthy.

On a mac, pretty easy to record with limited software: quicktime, then ffmpeg, convert to create a gif.
