Pretty Boy Floyd

Woody Guthrie - Pretty Boy Floyd

Yes, as through this world I’ve wandered I’ve seen lots of funny men Some will rob you with a six-gun And some with a fountain pen

And as through your life you travel Yes, as through your life you roam You won’t never see an outlaw Drive a family from their home

His televised narcissistic collapse (now in it’s 13th year) has emboldened every Archie Bunker wannabe, vacuous contrarian, all the racist chucklefucks, and miscellaneous shitstains the country has to offer. The rest of the people are sick and tired of having their empathy and compassion mocked and derided, their hopes and dreams dashed, and their future turned into nightmare fuel.

Yes, he was always a privileged asshole devoid of human compassion or understanding, but this is the moment at the WHCD on 4/30/2011 where he broke beyond repair: https://v.redd.it/sk0jqm81r5kd1

I agree. It has a very US centric Overton window which skews right IMO.

My dog often eats raw bones of various animals. Last month he came home with a wild boar skull which has now eaten almost entirely, aside from the teeth and tusks.

Yesterday he caught and ate an entire rabbit. There wasn’t even a single hair left.

These are not things any human I know can do, safely or otherwise.

Has a bit of a learning curve, but JDownloader 2 is all I have used for many, many years. I can’t speak to IDM or how it looks in comparison.
