From the "This is only news to neurotypicals" department

Trump's narcissism knows no bounds.

It’s no secret that Donald Trump is a big fan of himself. Countless mental health professionals, and even fellow Republicans, have diagnosed the former president as a raging narcissist. But new photos that have been circulating on social media probably demonstrate Trump’s narcissism in the most direct way possible. Trump’s iPhone wallpaper is just a photo of himself.

For context, the photo is from the height of Trump’s family separation policy for migrants, which forcibly separated children from their parents at the border, placing them in the same kind of camps Trump has sworn to bring back. When the photo was taken, Trump’s lawyers at the U.S. Department of Justice had just argued in court that the U.S. government had no responsibility to provide kids in custody with soap or toothpaste. They also argued that it was unnecessary to give migrants beds or cots while they slept on the ground in overcrowded government-run cages. You know, the good old days of Trump.

But it never took off

Die Bundesländer haben einer Erhöhung des Rundfunkbeitrags am Freitag nicht zugestimmt. Das ist nach SZ-Informationen das Ergebnis des Treffens der Ministerpräsidenten bei ihrer Konferenz in Leipzig. Im Dezember soll demnach noch einmal über die Rundfunkfinanzierung gesprochen werden. Dass es dabei zu einem Beschluss für eine zeitnahe Beitragserhöhung kommt, ist so gut wie ausgeschlossen.

Jedoch könnte im Dezember über eine Reform des Beitragsverfahrens gesprochen werden. Damit haben sich die Unionsländer mit ihrer Position durchgesetzt. Beschlossen wurde nach übereinstimmenden Informationen aus Kreisen von SPD und Union jedoch die geplante Reform bei ARD, ZDF und Deutschlandradio.

Brought my daughter to a trunk-or-treat and got this so so fun sized pack of peanut M&M's. More of a trick than a treat really.

During his tenure with "Saturday Night Live," Tracy Morgan also took issue with some chronic behavior from fellow cast member JImmy Fallon.

In an interview with Penthouse, Morgan admitted that he really disliked Fallon's habit of cracking up during sketches, getting laughs by breaking character. According to Morgan, he wasn't thrilled with Fallon's "laughing and all that dumb [bleep] he used to do — he wouldn't mess with me because I didn't [bleep]ing play that s***," Morgan said, as reported by Page Six. "That's taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, 'Oh, look at me, I'm the cute one.'" Morgan, in fact, gave Fallon a stern warning — that he apparently heeded. "I told him not to do that s*** in my sketches, so he never did," Morgan added.

Morgan got revenge with the help of fellow "SNL" alum Tina Fey when they appeared together in the NBC sitcom "30 Rock." In an episode, Morgan's character, Tracy Jordan, mimics Fallon's sketch-derailing breakdowns when his character begins doing the same thing, purposely creating live-TV mishaps in order to get cheap laughs in the show-within-the-show's sketches

I love horror movies, and I don't want to filter or block this community, but 80% of the articles here are pure clickbait "top 10 horror movies you need to see" crap that you can find anywhere on the Internet.

It makes it hard to want to engage with the community when this is all it is right now.

Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?

This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.

Is there anything I can do in Voyager to fix this issue, or is it just a Lemmy thing?

Just happened

Bandit, our puppy, got the snip at the start of the week and had been nearly perfect when it comes to messing with the effected area. Recently he had been going for it when he gets sleepy.

We did get a donut cone and even though Bandit seemed ok he was having issues getting into some of his nap spots and playing with some chews. I heard about recovery onesies so I thought I'd grab one to make things a bit more comfortable for him.

On top of Bandit being more comfortable the onesie looked like Freddy Kruegers sweater, and being a horror fan I liked it. It also fit with the little monsters puppy phase.

When it finally got here i put Bandit in it and showed my spouse....then I got distracted for I swear not even 5 minutes then I hear his little "I'm having a difficult poop" yelp and at first I reacted like it was a regular accident then I remembered he was wearing a damn onesie and pooping.

When I found him some had come out of the tail hole already in a poop trail from the basement to the front door. I carefully took off the the butt flap and you guessed it some more poop fell out.

I lost it.

Full 5year old giggle fit which only made things worse because Bandit thought it was playtime. He preceded to step in the poop that fell out of the onesie and tracked it all over a 3ish square foot area while trying to play.

When my spouse and I finally got it together my spouse took Bandit for a spongebath since he's still healing and I cleaned out the poop trail.

TL;DR I put a onesie on a puppy and he pooped in it, created a poop trail, and started to play in poop when he mistook my laughter for playtime.

Today I messed up on a date I had been looking forward to for a while. I went out with a girl I’ve liked for months, and I was really excited to get to know her better. Everything was going well until, somehow, I ended up talking about my ex. I casually mentioned her at first, but then I went off on a tangent and spent about 15 minutes talking about the relationship, what went wrong, and how it affected me.

I realized how uncomfortable my date was when she started checking her phone and nodding vaguely. When I finally stopped talking, the atmosphere completely changed, and the conversation became really tense. The date ended abruptly, and I don’t think she’ll contact me again.................................

TL;DR: TIFU by talking too much about my ex on a first date

This happened while I was in the Army stationed in South Korea April 95 - April 96.

Senior enlisted were throwing a going away party for the outgoing First Sgt. Top was cool and all, but I was a PFC with no interest in going.......

Until we were informed if you didn't buy a ticket you were shanghied into working "special duty" for the event.

Tickets were based on your rank, E4 and below were $2.00.

Cue malicious compliance....bought a ticket just to get out of working "special duty" for this BS "hey you detail".

Got dismissed from formation, changed into civies, made an appearance, ate some buffet food, and dipped out.

Best two bucks I ever spent to get out of a detail.
