Miley Spears got ahold of the Subgenius Wikii (as in, somehow became admin) and is trashing it (Uncle BadTouch invented Discordianism, doncha know).  She has managed to anger all of the old crew.  I think Legume will handle this nicely.

Things Payne is responsible for in the event of my gruesome demise, #32:

If it's a closed-casket funeral, Payne will force the organist to play "pop goes the weasel" in the middle of the service, so that everyone is waiting for something awful to happen.

I'm starting to get annoyed with how anal home depot is about bothering people about their commercial credit cards. The other day, they actually told me to ask them if they wanted to apply for one, even if they already have one! Not to mention that I have to ask if they're using a HD credit card, even if they have cash in their hand, or theyre just buying small things you would never put on a credit card. I've gotten used to just parroting out the routine as quick as I can at the start, and if anyone co.plains I try to make a joke about it.

Hi there! Can I help you take one more step into crippling debt so my boss' boss' boss can buy a new mansion?
Right? i'm debating if I should point out that trying to persuade our customers to take on unsustainable debt doesnt really hold with our "doing the right thing" and "taking care of the customers" bits of our corporate ethics. Play the fanatical boy scout.

Oh, wow.

Uncle BadTouch and his crew need to accept the fact that they are irrelevant.

It's actually about ethics in clockmaking.

That guy is so beyond a damage case it's almost not even funny.

Except that it's still totally funny.

I can't believe how much mileage I'm getting out of this. It's been a while since I've seen someone try so hard to argue a non-point.

Right? I was going to make fun of his point, and then I realized that he doesn't have one.

Also, I looked up his "cultural libertarianism" thing, and it's literally just a name for people who think they are backlashing against "social justice warriors".  So, yeah, just as vile as you imagine.

I was going to go all "Cultural Libertarianism is simply the absence of Empathy," but I figured it was too good for him.

I'm stealing from my own tweet here, but we're nearing the point where Social Justice Warrior as a term is at "hipster" levels of oversaturation. Pretty soon the only people using it will be the ones who end every facebook post with "smh"

Yes, why change when new evidence is introduced? One wouldn't want to fight for social justice.

It's like the people who consider "liberal" a bad word: On yeah, "open to new behavior and opinions"... how vile.

You should go on somewhere like Reddit.

It's pretty ridiculous at this point.  Think trans people should be referred to by their preferred pronoun?  SJW.  Think refugees fleeing Syria should maybe be given asylum in the west?  SJW.  Think the world has better things to do than obsess over the clock making skills of a 14yo?  SJW.  Think stalking fat people on the internet isn't actually a human right?  SJW.

Regardless of the circumstances of your death, there will be no closed casket.

Pop goes the weasel will still be played. I may need to install some articulating gubbins and what-not within your body to make full use of this.

As such procedures are likely better performed before rigor really sets in, I will require 24 hours notice of your impending death to fly over there.

I think the most idiotic thing about the sjw which hunts going on right now is that the propoganda to fuel their hate is based off straw men created by their side.
Too many times have I seen someone post a picture about a sjw then to discover that it's actually someone from /pol/ strawmanning it up.
