[02:10] IsambardPrince The Final Sacrifice was the worst, until Brandon Lobsta. [02:11] IsambardPrince MinceR, I was watching Mulan the other night, Disney's. [02:11] IsambardPrince One of her ancestors said "At least none of MINE ended up being a CROSS DRESSER!" [02:11] IsambardPrince I laughed hard. No way that would be in a Disney movie now. [02:12] IsambardPrince The funny thing was the lead editor on that one ended up trooning out later. [02:12] IsambardPrince There were several parts that were pretty funny in that one that made me rewind them a few times. [02:12] IsambardPrince Like the one where she had to go to "school" to study how to be a proper wife, from this big ugly fat woman. [02:13] IsambardPrince And she cheated by writing notes on her arm. [02:13] IsambardPrince The fat lady grabs her arm, and smears the ink, and wipes it on her face, in the shape of a beard, as Mulan is pouring tea. [02:13] IsambardPrince Mulan's mouth drops open and she starts pouring tea all over the table. [02:14] IsambardPrince The whole thing gets worse and worse until finally she ends up pouring tea all over the fat lady causing her makeup to run everywhere and the fat lady starts yelling at her with smeared mascara and makeup and stuff (and the ink beard) and it spills out into public. [02:15] IsambardPrince I don't think you could do any of that at Disney today. [02:15] IsambardPrince You can't be really funny without someone complaining about it. [02:15] IsambardPrince So you get these really sanitized low key, trying to avoid POSSIBLY offending anyone movies, that nobody goes to see. [02:16] IsambardPrince They lose a fortune, eventually they all go to streaming so Disney doesn't have to admit the theaters were empty and they subsidize this crap with the theme park stuff skyrocketing. [02:17] IsambardPrince And so that's the world where people have decided to live. [02:17] IsambardPrince Everyone's at war, everyone's broke, and you can't even laugh at anything because god forbid someone is offended. [02:18] IsambardPrince Well that didn't take long. [02:18] IsambardPrince Mandy's Explanation of Benefits for the COVID stuff already came. [02:18] IsambardPrince I wonder what they're doing to us this time. [02:19] MinceR and everyone is oppressed [02:19] MinceR apparently an important point for billions [02:23] IsambardPrince Yeah, they don't seem to mind it. [02:24] IsambardPrince They keep finding a bigger tyrant than the last one. [02:30] IsambardPrince MinceR, I encountered a Microsoft fanboy on Reddit. Who is defending the $700 consoles and $80 games. [02:30] IsambardPrince I replied, [02:30] IsambardPrince "Yes, Microsoft says they're raising the price of their latest Xbox by another $150 to account for Trump's federal sales tax tariffs (paid for by the customer, while he screams that every business in the country should not only take losses, but run at a loss to hide the fact that he's a moron who has gone senile and surrounded himself with other morons) and that the games will go up to $80, probably with microtransactions because [02:30] IsambardPrince why not. [02:30] IsambardPrince Microsoft must not want to sell anything to me otherwise they'd go back to something more reasonable, something less insane maybe. I mean, holy f--king jumping shitballs as Carlin would have said. I remember paying $149 for an Xbox that came with a copy of Halo and a second controller. They were pushing those hard, and of course with game discs that had the entire game on it, there was a used game market. [02:30] IsambardPrince F--k this crap." [02:32] IsambardPrince "They've clearly given up the mass market in the hopes that some degenerates who live with mommy or got rich of some buttcoin scam will be their customer and pay whatever it costs. That's not exactly inflation. It's also inflation, it's also tariffs, but that's not the whole picture here." [02:32] MinceR orangeutan is not just senile, he's also demented [02:42] TR News https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/21/5_of_the_easiest_quickest_Linux_distros_to_install_and_I_ve_tri.shtml | Gemini

[03:43] IsambardPrince She said that for most people COVID is just a cold at this point, they're not seeing the sort of death and destruction they were 4-5 years ago. [03:43] IsambardPrince She sees what happens with the Paxlovid and said that it suppresses the virus, but then you run out of medication and it comes back around, so it just prolongs it. [03:44] IsambardPrince Incidentally I was way sicker last time, having been just 6 weeks out from the "bivalent" booster that Pfizer put out. [03:44] IsambardPrince So not only did I get COVID, I was sicker despite it only having been a month and a half since a dose of "vaccine". [03:46] IsambardPrince The people still lining up for those damned shots remind me of McKay in Stargate Atlantis running around that alien planet in a radiation suit and rubbing sunblock all over himself while everyone else was fine. [03:47] IsambardPrince If it was going to be a problem, then Dr. Beckett would have probably advised them to do something about the sun. [03:48] IsambardPrince McKay was a hypochondriac that overthought everything, so that was sort of the continuing joke. He put on an ancient shield that wouldn't turn off until the battery died because he was so paranoid that the thing took it as a signal to not turn off. [03:48] IsambardPrince Even to the point of making him go a few days without food or water. [03:50] IsambardPrince In fact, it did fall off before the battery died when they suggested sending him into that entity that drained energy to fix the MALP that was luring it through the Stargate. Reasoning that he would be the only one that didn't get hurt. Once the thought of being in danger (that it would protect him from, ironically) crossed his mind, it shut off. He ended up putting it back on though and going through with it. [03:52] IsambardPrince "I have a shield that will protect me from anything!" (except drowning) It won't turn off. "I'm expected to put myself in danger!" It turns off immediately. [03:53] IsambardPrince MinceR, That was one of my favorite episodes. [03:53] IsambardPrince Sheppard threw him over a balcony, catching Dr. Weir off guard. Then she said they could have tested it with something less dangerous. He said he shot him a few times...in the leg.

[04:12] IsambardPrince They stopped naming them when the media ceased to exist and just quoated the Nazis directly from X. [04:12] IsambardPrince So I can call it that. [04:15] IsambardPrince MinceR, They're not officially Nazis, they just give each other the "Roman" salute, and plamn to deport everyone they possibly can that's not White, and use social darwinism such as letting their own voters die of lack of food and medicine. [04:15] IsambardPrince See, much better. [04:17] IsambardPrince As to "replacement", when they pour the chlorine into the gene pool, and take out people who just mindlessly fuck and use welfare (large swaths of Indiana), they plan to give the land to the rich Whites in South Africa who developed nuclear warheads to use on their own country in case of a black slave uprising. [04:19] IsambardPrince The country is getting stranger. It's like the Joker said, whatever doesn't kill you just makes you....stranger. Syphilis is up like 1,200% since Trump got in the first time, back in 2017. Left untreated, it takes many years to kill. It will usually spread to the brain and destroy it first, slowly. [04:19] IsambardPrince So that's definitely part of what's going on lately. [04:21] IsambardPrince Brain rot definitely helps the Republicans win more seats in Congress. [04:21] IsambardPrince You can also tell advanced Syphilis because it destroys the teeth, of course you'll have a hard time noticing that in Indiana among all the people with terminal Meth Mouth. [04:22] IsambardPrince You'd have to have a brain that's 70% depleted by Syphilis and Meth, to actually enjoy living there. [04:23] IsambardPrince The other way to get there is just not take your vaccines for 60-70 years and have dementia from persistent inflammation of the brain. [04:23] IsambardPrince That causes a much milder form of MAGA. [04:24] IsambardPrince You know, the kind where you hear people like my dad tell us what they want, what they really really want. (Leper Colonies where they let AIDS patients die untreated, as punishment for defying God.) [04:24] IsambardPrince That's an actual Dad quote. [04:25] IsambardPrince Dad's second best "riffing on the AIDS crisis" hot take is that "The (Roy told me not to use the N word) got it by having sex with the monkeys in Africa." [04:25] IsambardPrince Given the parents I had, it's a wonder that I can even think at all. [04:27] IsambardPrince It's like Hannibal Lecter said to Clarice. Nobody else noticed it, but he did. He said that she was a rube that reeked of West Virginia. And maybe nobody else smelled it on her, but he could. [04:27] IsambardPrince That's how I'll always feel about coming from Indiana. [04:28] IsambardPrince James Dean never wanted to go back to Fairmount, so of course they buried him there and have a festival every year. [04:29] IsambardPrince Celebrating a guy who got out, made it all the way to "golden era" Hollywood, and told all his best friends there what a hick state he was from. [04:30] IsambardPrince And when he was busy telling everyone that, Indiana was at least relatively clean. Now it's just a drug den full of dealers and people clinging to Social Security checks. [04:31] IsambardPrince My mom even described her town's local situation quite well, I think. "They have 20 people piling into the house because they all know one person who gets a Social Security check." There's people sleeping on the floor, there's no room to turn around. At my lowest I didn't have to live like this. [04:32] IsambardPrince That's because aside from Social Security, the only way to get any money from the government is to, as George Carlin put "procreation", "pop out units". [04:34] IsambardPrince Life is painful, because it's so short, yet halfway in you've seen everything there is to do, done everything there is to do. And now you get to slowly see your body betray you and be incredibly bored. All of the mistakes have turned into cement. They're so far in the past you can't fix them. The remaining time is not enough. [04:35] IsambardPrince I think what the worst part of it is, these people who are going nowhere generally fall into two groups. [04:36] IsambardPrince The ones drinking and drugging themselves to death, and the ones piling into church. [04:36] IsambardPrince There's overlap. [04:36] IsambardPrince You know what I have to say about that. [04:37] IsambardPrince Anubis: "What's a guy gotta do to get a little more coffee over here?" [04:37] IsambardPrince Oma: "Seek eternal enlightenment." [04:37] IsambardPrince And people will tell me I can't be seeking enlightenment because I'm not a model, well, anything. And that's true. But consider the joke of the Zen Master. [04:38] IsambardPrince Someone asks him "What happens after you die?" He says, "I don't know." They say, "Well aren't you a Zen Master?" He says, "Yeah, but I'm not a dead one." [04:38] IsambardPrince At least Buddhists are more honest. [04:40] IsambardPrince The most important thought that ever struck me was that when you feel stuck and directionless. Stop feeling that way. Then you don't have to feel that way. [04:42] IsambardPrince All day long, people measure themselves by what everyone around them has, or is doing. [04:42] IsambardPrince I don't do that. Largely because I don't pay them much attention. [04:42] IsambardPrince There's no reason to. [04:42] IsambardPrince If they had it all figured out, then 4/5 of them would not be causing traffic jams getting out of church on Sundays. This is falling into a pattern of repitition. [04:43] IsambardPrince Social comparison is one of the most dangerous things people can engage in, and most of them do. [04:44] IsambardPrince Your neighbor goes a million dollars in debt to get a Tesla Cybertruck. You figure "He must be winning, I'll do what he did." then you're in a mess too. Just like him!
