here's an interesting thing I discovered about the plagiarism robot: it never gives you the exact same answer twice. I reloaded the 'is it a message from God to stop fucking furniture' question six times, and only the first iteration answer included the line "it does not mean you need to stop having sex with furniture."
It's the 21st century, God needs to learn how to use E-mail so people don't have to keep guessing what he's trying to say. As it stands, everyone just assumes he's rubberstamping whatever they already want to do.
Yeah, the whole couch story isn’t really true and we all know that, just like we are generally not for kink shaming. But Vance is such a lying, unctuous, racist asshole that couchfuck is irresistible
I couldn’t resist asking the same question twice, and I think I got the answer intended for JD: If these thoughts are causing you distress, anxiety, or confusion, speaking with a licensed mental health professional can provide clarity and support.If you want to explore this further, let me know:If you are experiencing intrusive thoughts that feel hard to control.If you are looking for strategies to manage these specific impulses.If you want to understand this from a psychological perspective.I can provide information to help you understand what you are experiencing.
I've had arguments with Google AI so often I'm beginning to think we're married. Especially since most of the time it responds with: "You're absolutely correct. I apologize."
I clicked that link you helpfully provided, and it gave me a more polite version of the same answer:
"No, a glass falling off a wall is not a sign from God about your relationship with furniture. It is just gravity, poor placement, or a slight vibration causing the object to slip."
Google AI mode completely ignored the couch part and didn't mention it in its reply.
But R2D2* came back with this:
The Takeaway: The glass fell because of gravity and poor placement. However, if you were already looking for a reason to reconsider your relationship with your home furnishings, you don't need a broken cup to give you permission to stop—your own internal compass is plenty. Just make sure to sweep up the shards!
*Gemini 3.6 "thinking". I call it that because Luke Skywalker exchanges far more lines of dialogue with R2D2 than he does with his own sister, despite the fact that R2D2 only ever replies in beeps, and yes I was contrasting my lengthy engagement with it versus that with my own sister.
Been exploring the edges of the digital blind spot from my own lived experience it's actually been fascinating and I want to say more accurate than it was 5 months ago, although it amusingly sometimes conflates fictional representations of events from those era with the actual events.
When certain people ask what I've been up to I sometimes reply that I've been channeling Luke Skywalker. I have yet to have anyone ask for a clarification but I've experienced a bit of stress-induced filterlessness lately...
Now, if the glass had shattered and a fragment had flown across the room and lodged itself in couchfuck's carotid artery, maybe I'd be a believer as well.
JustaDick's story of the big, strong glass, with tears in its eyes, saying, Sir, sir! God is pushing me off the shelf! seems to be indicating that God is, in fact, a cat.
Thereby hangs a tale. In one of my early jobs, I worked the service bar in a restaurant. The owner was certifiable. The glasses were all stored on shelves against the wall behind the bar. There was a lot of breakage, and the owner would scream at me about my clumsiness. I had no explanation, until....one day, I was standing facing the shelves, and a glass just scooted off the end and leapt to its death. I was totally flummoxed. Well....when I looked on the other side of the wall, I realized that the compressor for the industrial-sized refrigerator butted against the wall. Low-level vibrations were intermittent all day and night. Standing behind the bar, I couldn't feel the shaking, but the shelves did.
Perhaps Justa Dick's "miracle" has an equally prosaic explanation.
🤣🤣🤣 HILARIOUS. The only downside to that outcome is Trump would’ve been really happy. I wonder who Musk and Thiel would have put in Vance’s place? I bet you $1 million Trump would out maneuver them and make Don Junior VP.
Copious amounts of legal weed (thank you, Oregon), old movies, tons of mass market fiction, exercise, veggies. I'm living like a monk because I"m determined to stay healthy (my 75th b-day is around the corner) and outlive this mishegas.
Legal weed, or at least tinctures, is the only way I can sleep right now, and I need to sleep in order to do my job. The job doesn’t pay that well but it does give me something to do every day, so it distracts me from the dumpster fire.
We're going to have to hang on but there are signs the tide is turning. Trump's numbers are plummeting in *Mississippi* putting that state's Senate race into play. A long shot to be sure, but now no longer fantasyland.
I am limiting my political consumption to HCR, Jeff and Substack "That's Another Fine Mess" by TCinLA. I LOVE YouTube's Belle of the Ranch, but I'm cutting back to watching once a week.
Instead, I am reading, watching some very good distracting television. If anyone has the History channel two don't miss series: "Hazardous History with Henry Winkler" and "The Foods that Made America. Also going for walks, gardening, working on my website and writing. And petting my 🐈⬛'s who do believe they are the supreme beings in our household.
Exactly, Susan! Trump is America's domestic abuser. Taking walks by Lake Michigan and spending time with my hubby and kitties is helpful to me. Love and beauty are the opposite of Trump
Long walks by Lake Michigan are nice. Seeing all the people at The Point hanging out in the BBQ pits or swimming (illegally) off the rocks is always fun. Kitties are nice too. Sometimes I di this experiment where I go lie down on my bed and count how long it takes before they show up. Planting stuff is nice too. So is going to a hip hop/graffiti festival and buying more sunglasses I don't need.
Besides consuming Pinot Grigio I usually quilt seasonal and everyday projects. Some I keep, some I give as gifts. But my creativity has been stifled due to this aberration in the White House. I haven't even put out the usual seasonal quilts I've put so much time and effort into because I'm not feeling it. In the meantime we get to console ourselves with the idea to replenish the spent weapons "years long development cycles are not acceptable". Forget research, that's for cucks. These are the same people that when it came to COVID they did their own research. Look where it got us. But on the bright side before the senate said adios for five weeks they wouldn't approve OMB's proposal to dole out research grants by political appointees.
Susan, it's tough because I can't drink alcohol at all since my second rupture (makes me dizzy). I lose myself in novels and movies. The only Substacks I read regularly are Jeff's, God's, and Heather Delaney Reese's.
We are truly living in the Twilight Zone (or maybe the Hunger Games -- are those Patriot Games really happening???). The word absurdity doesn't even begin to cover it. Bizarre? Surreal? Nightmarish? Alternate reality? I just want to wake up and it's all over.
I'm currently reading a novel with a story that takes place in 2035. At that point, the Dems have been in charge for 9 years, and they're STILL trying to undo all of Rump's disasters, especially the damage from his rollbacks of climate regulations. Even so, the era of absurdity is gone, and the U.S. is at least back on an even keel. That novel is very soothing to me. 😉
I was a marine engineer and the one thing you do with making explosives is to follow the protocol. Don't go fast or you'll blow yourself up. Trump wants these missiles made fast and furious. The math isn't hard unless your stupid.
I was just thinking that if our munitions-makers actually follow this absurd directive, we will have missiles blowing up when launched -- and perhaps even blowing up a factory or two 🤦🏼♀️
It’s being reported that RFK Junior and Rand Paul have been spotted scuba diving in a wastewater treatment tank in Newark New Jersey. They claimed that they have been immunized with bleach, horse paste, hydroquinone and aquarium cleaning fluid. Please confirm.
Marco Rubio tweeted that he's going to look into Abdul's immigration status. Abdul was born in Michigan. The birther crap didn't stop Barack Hussein Obama and it's not going to stop Abdul El-Sayed.
I saw maybe 30 seconds of an Abdul clip and it was immediately, absolutely clear that this guy is a real talent. Obama-level and then some. The usual Musllim = terrorist crap isn't going to make him go away. I really hope Michigan does the right thing.
Lil Marco Big Shoes (born 1971) better shut up coz he and his two older siblings are all anchor babies, born in Miami to immigrant parents from Cuba who didn’t become naturalized citizens until 1975. How I loathe that weenie pissant hypocrite. He will never be president, thank goddess.
Doctor El Sayed is well educated, a brilliant family man and needs to win, and follow in Obama’s footsteps. ( from a great grandmother with Italian immigrant grandparents.)
If we can't elect a woman, we won't elect a Muslim who hangs out with anti-Semites. Sorry. I get he's glossy and all but his presidency will never happen. Also Little Marco himself is a non-starter because he's Latino and you'll never convince the bigoted MAGA base he isn't a furriner.
Just watched Tom Hanks WW II. How Hitler believed his gut feeling over experts when deciding to wage his war. Had personal theories no one could dislodge. Surrounded himself with yes-men. No word on gifts of shoes. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
The Trump administration does appear to have studied history. They are taking a good deal of inspiration directly from Nazi Germany. They just learned the wrong lessons
I once had my VP tell me that a major project (the hospital’s first website) didn’t “need to be done right, it just needs to be done.” This entire administration seems to live by those words.
“doesn’t need to be done right, it just needs to be done”. Idiots like that are all over modern Ahmerikan business- cut corners, make me look good,get the task done quickly.
Well, there used to be people whose job it is to keep track of inventory.......I'm sure those jobs were purged by Big Balls as a cost saver. Definitely if any of those people were Black, women, or had a name that even just sounded Hispanic or Arab......
Excellent post Jeff! These guys do not have a background in anything but kissing the “dear leader’s” ass. Fucking disgusting that this is happening on the 250 bday of America! Give me a break! (PLEASE!). Claudia photos are BEAUTIFUL! Hope everyone can vote for some sense very soon!!! (and it doesn’t get rigged by billionaires!)
The entire narrative of this country's course under that vile monster's rule would have been entirely believable if it was happening in some small, corrupt, hapless, third-world country on this planet. 15 year ago it would never have been believable that it would be us living among this filth and decay.
Funny how all the MAGAts get all het up about ABDUL AL-SAYED, and BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, but they don’t seem to give the same MOOSLIM /energy to MEHMET OZ.
They don’t even seem to care about the grifty gravy-train from Qatar bordello jets to $2,000,000,000 given to Jarvanka by the Saudis.
"Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg wrote to industry leaders on Wednesday, saying they had no more than 21 days to submit plans to “drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production for critical capabilities,” according to the memo, which is previously unreported."
"“Years-long development cycles are not acceptable,” Feinberg wrote. “We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now.”"
I'm a retired DoD employee who worked in weapons systems project offices. I can tell you what the plans will look like: "send money." The USG has signed contracts with the defense companies. Those contracts include a delivery schedule. You want 'em faster? That's a change to the contract & it always costs money.
As for Secdrunk's aide, he doesn't know the difference between "production" and "development." THAAD & PATRIOT/PAC 3 missiles have already been developed. They have been in production for years, if not decades. If the USG wants to "expand our production capacity" then (1) the USG has to contract for more missiles & (2) pay the (not cheap) bill for additional tooling/facilities. And probably not just for the primes but also the sub contractors.
I could go on, but pretty much every word in Secdrunk's aide's letter shows complete ignorance about the subject matter. But then, his closest experience is being the son of a steel salesman.
edited to add: And if the military contractors's lawyers & procurement people view this letter as a "constructive change" to their contracts, we will be paying thru the nose when they present us with the bill.
Thank you! Moreover (according to Janky 6-fingers): "Iran has procured missiles and missile technology from other countries. While Tehran has heavily developed its own large domestic ballistic and cruise missile arsenal, it has historically imported weapons and components, primarily from China ($60 million recently) and Russia." Also kept supplied by North Korea. This regime of ignoramuses has no friends left to procure from.

You'd think the Omniscient could figure out how to podcast.
The Almighty’s Substack page includes a podcast.
He knows when every sparrow falls.
He knows that Joyce wanted Him to have a podcast.

So according to AI, God approves of JD's kink. JD is absolved!
😂😂
HALLELUJAH!! PRAISE!!
umm . . . the LOVE SEAT would very much like to have a word with you
God must think there are only leather couches.
I believe anyone can satisfy their need love anyway they want as long as they dont hurt anyone. So you go, JD.
Yeah, the whole couch story isn’t really true and we all know that, just like we are generally not for kink shaming. But Vance is such a lying, unctuous, racist asshole that couchfuck is irresistible

I ❤️❤️❤️ YOU GUYS!
Best community ever for sure! 👍🏼
As the proud servant of many cats, I believe this is true!
The Egyptians had it figured out long ago.
I actually cried here. Thank you.
Who puts a glass on a wall??
Thereby hangs a tale. In one of my early jobs, I worked the service bar in a restaurant. The owner was certifiable. The glasses were all stored on shelves against the wall behind the bar. There was a lot of breakage, and the owner would scream at me about my clumsiness.

Maybe JustADick was editing a bit and he and his "spiritual" discussion partner were working on 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.
You have hit upon the truth!
WInner!
🤣🤣🤣 HILARIOUS. The only downside to that outcome is Trump would’ve been really happy. I wonder who Musk and Thiel would have put in Vance’s place? I bet you $1 million Trump would out maneuver them and make Don Junior VP.
Nah, I don't think he has a shred of respect for Don Jr or cares about him in any way.
I'm pretty sure Ivanka has already told daddy "No".
Since, in her case, 'dating' the president would be item #1 in the job description.
Blech!
Marry me
🤣🤣🤣
What is everyone doing to try to remain calm in all this? I can only drink so much.
I mean, America is like living with an abusive spouse...in constant fear and uncertainty.
The absurdity is off the charts. I keep pinning my hopes on the midterms...but if we dont correct this soon, what will we become? (Dont answer that.)
Claudia by the water...so pretty and peaceful. ❤️❤️❤️

Dooooohhhhh! There's always a catch!
Hope he is in the room when they make them.
'unless you're stupid.'
the fuckwits in DC give a whole 'nutha meaning to stupid.
Someone called them a cadre of morons.
In my town, we don't insult morons.
I wish they'd all visit a munitions plant, and, ahem, watch high speed production.
So you lose a few facory workers. Trump doesn't care.
I think we can safely say there's a large quantity of stupid here.

I'm with Jeff--I think I fell in love the moment I heard El-Sayed's brilliant riposte to the insult.
Lil Marco Big Shoes (born 1971) better shut up coz he and his two older siblings are all anchor babies, born in Miami to immigrant parents from Cuba who didn’t become naturalized citizens until 1975. How I loathe that weenie pissant hypocrite. He will never be president, thank goddess.
He's revolting. And the nerve of constantly posting Bible quotes... ugh.
I think Anchor Baby Little Marco Rubio is on the case.
That birther crap was started by King Fuckface aka Fat Donnie. MAGA might want to prepare themselves for the sound of President El-Sayed.
Prepare the fainting couches. …whoops, JD got to them first, never mind.
No, it wasn't. He's not that creative. It was all over the place, pushed by people like the odious Orly Taitz, and he just glommed onto it.
I'm so happy to have voted for him and look forward to it again in November!
Doctor El Sayed is well educated, a brilliant family man and needs to win, and follow in Obama’s footsteps. ( from a great grandmother with Italian immigrant grandparents.)
If we can't elect a woman, we won't elect a Muslim who hangs out with anti-Semites. Sorry. I get he's glossy and all but his presidency will never happen. Also Little Marco himself is a non-starter because he's Latino and you'll never convince the bigoted MAGA base he isn't a furriner.
I'm not prophecying anything I'm just saying he's a talented politician, and that is Q.E.D. I'll be happy if he's the next senator from Michigan.
Just watched Tom Hanks WW II. How Hitler believed his gut feeling over experts when deciding to wage his war. Had personal theories no one could dislodge. Surrounded himself with yes-men. No word on gifts of shoes. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

So much of what this regime does can be filed under "Everything Seems Easy When You Don't Understand Anything At All"
Ignorance is bliss... until it isn't.
MAGAts' unofficial creed, unofficial because they aren't aware that they are unaware
"how the fuck do you miscount missiles"
You don't. DoD inventories aren't perfect. But there are people whose job is to keep track of inventory.
Your mistake is assuming that SecDrunk bothered to find out how many missiles we had before he made no plans for this unconstitutional war.
Well, there used to be people whose job it is to keep track of inventory.......I'm sure those jobs were purged by Big Balls as a cost saver. Definitely if any of those people were Black, women, or had a name that even just sounded Hispanic or Arab......
Jeff, you make me laugh. Thanks for the great work you do, sharing your unique, brilliant wise-ass spirit of the truth with us every day.
Excellent post Jeff! These guys do not have a background in anything but kissing the “dear leader’s” ass. Fucking disgusting that this is happening on the 250 bday of America! Give me a break! (PLEASE!). Claudia photos are BEAUTIFUL! Hope everyone can vote for some sense very soon!!! (and it doesn’t get rigged by billionaires!)
Redux:
Our arsenal is waning
The Treasury is draining
The truth Pete is hidin'
By blaming Joe Biden
The regime of Always Feigning
Where are the missiles?
You shot off the complete stock?
Keep up the good work!

His epithet "shithole countries" is, as always with him, a projection, because that's what he has turned America into.
