07:08 < Evilpig> I think from now on if I wake up at 3am i'm just gonna take a sick day right that second.  no trying to get back to sleep, just fuck it i'm sick
07:21 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:22  * eryc plugs Dolemite 
07:23  * Dolemite takes some Miralax to get unplugged
07:52 < Evilpig> new season of kevin can fuck himself started yesterday
07:54 < Evilpig> This show needs to win some awards for the directing.  keeping up with the style changes between the sitcom aspect and the drama story has got to be difficult to pull off this well
08:47 < aestetix> There is a game called Lawn Mower Simulator
10:04 <@Dagmar> Also power washing simulator
10:05 <@Dagmar> Dumb shit is being simulated and hyped like mad
10:08 <@eryc> power washing sim is free on game pass

10:18 <@Mirage> I don't get what the big deal is...he's just gonna go in and plea the 5th on everything they ask, then take a news moment out on the front steps to condemn the democrats witchhunt and reinforce the big lie
10:21 <@Dagmar> They don't want anyone saying anything to the press or the public about the evil deeds they've been doing.
10:21 <@Dagmar> It's that simple.
10:21 <@Dagmar> Legal machinery is now in motion, not just public relations bullshit, so unlike past incidents now they can go to jail if they lie.
10:22 <@Dagmar> ...and since Dolt45 spent so much time trash talking about people who take the 5th are guilty, they can't even afford to take the 5th without giving their opponents ample reason to question their motives for doing so.
10:23 <@Mirage> In the courtroom.. which is why I said he'd just take the 5th on everything they ask, most likley even including his name, and then go outside and meet the press so he can spew the rhetoric
10:23 <@Dagmar> Literally every news outlet except Fox will pounce on that and make a mockery of anyone who does it
10:23 <@Dagmar> ...because that's what's been happening.
10:23 <@Mirage> Trump did it and is on record for having done so, which makes it fine now.  
10:24 <@Dagmar> No, pretty much every news outlet had a field day over the very idea that Trump would dare take the 5th.
10:24 <@Mirage> Except the ones that count for their base.
10:25 <@Dagmar> The news outlets smell blood, and they are GLEEFULLY awaiting their chance to report that Trump and any of his cronies are going to jail so they don't have to waste any more time on those dumbasses for the next 10-25 years.
10:25 <@Dagmar> Perhaps if you watched more news reporting you wouldn't find all this so confusing.
10:26 <@Mirage> Fox and the rest of the right-wind hatemonger media all have to at least mostly stick with the bullshit they've been spewing or else they'll lose all their viewers and therefore all their income.
10:28 <@Mirage> Dagmar: I think you missed the point of what I said completely.  And I think that I probably follow from at least as many if not more news sources as you do.  There's no way to even scratch the surface of the truth in much of anything unless you read and compare at least 5 different sources
10:30 <@Mirage> Which is why the media pisses me off more and more with their irresponsible lip-service bullshit vs just reporting the facts and moving one.  If I wanted opinion I'd watch vloggers and read shit from the opinion columns
