She's left when it pays, alt-right when it pays, and #Πελώνη_σβήνε more or less means "This you?" in Greek. Literally: "Peloni, start deleting"

There was never a "lockdown" of anything approaching a lockdown anywhere in the U.S. If I were the judge, I would have stopped listening at that point, rejected the plea deal and thrown the book at this fuck.

It took nearly a decade, but Brandon Orr's Russian superhacker buddies finally made their move. Trouble is, they missed :ff: and hit the Colonial Pipeline instead, shutting down the operation with a ransomware attack.

The American Southeast, which is stuffed to the rafters with stupid, selfish stump-jumpers, was panicky enough without Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis's emergency declaration, but he made the declaration anyway. You know, just to be sure. That way we'll have abundant panic-buying to make everything far worse than it should be.

This being the American Southeast and all, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning people to refrain from using PLASTIC FUCKING BAGS as storage/hoarding containers for gasoline.

Yes, pretty much every gas station has been out of gas here because of dipshits. The local distribution has been back online, so fuel trucks have been delivering fuel. There was basically no supply disruption. Only surplus dipshits. Though I have been enjoying the dipshits filling non-HDPE containers, especially things like non-potable water totes, that will probably contaminate the gasoline.

Imagine my consternation: Upon my normal waking up time, I check some websites for stuff. No mention of GETYERGASOMGWEGONNADIE. A few hours later, at work now, I check a reddit and suddenly there are many pictures of absolute morons putting gas in EVERYTHING. I was completely confused as to what the ever hecking fuck had happened.

Oh the irony, hoarding has also created an ammo shortage. A full magazine of ammo may be as in demand as that couple gallons of gas.

I am very much laughing at all the idiots who bought gas guzzlers on purpose to own the libs.

As seen on the Internet, "It's possible the CDC saw a bunch of us trying to hoard gasoline in old Burger King cups and just gave up."

My first thought was “Who?” So I typed “R” “i” into my google bar and that was enough to give his name as one of the top three potential matches. When of all the things starting with “Ri” your full name jumps to the top, it’s either going to be really good, or really bad. ...Oh I see someone who donated to murderer Kyle Rittenhouse is really into shouting at the staff.

The Daily Beast wants me to contribute something to read that. And among the top 5 results, in a search for that title, are the Daily Mail and the Sun, which aren't paying me enough to give them clicks.

But a Nigerian newspaper carries it without even a cookie prompt and I think that's fitting. Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Gave Bill Gates Advice on How to End Toxic Marriage
