We need low interest rates and skyrocketing asset prices so that people pay 2% more to buy this next year. Consumption must go up so that people have worthless jobs producing trash that our politicians call economic growth, as people applaud their stocks rising.
It took me a minute to realize that little emoji wasn't just a stain on his shirt, because honestly it fits.
"we have middle aged over weight man at home" At home "Dad"
At least in Japan the middle aged men card trading game is a thing:

There's a growing popularity for the Divorced Dad's trading card game here in the states. My local game shop hosts the occasional game night for it.
Honestly though this is such a funny toy might buy it for posterity
I considered it until I saw the price was $100
Those are probably resellers. Unless that one is life-size, I'm pretty sure it's $20(if it's the one I'm thinking of). I got a smaller one that comes with a chicken leg, a bag, and a sword, for $10 on amazon. But resellers on there are selling it for $20 or more
Jack Black is that you?
It literally is.
This is an action figure. So this is literally, figuratively Jack Black.
An action figure that looks like they have not seen any action outside of the kitchen for decades.
We could call this an Inaction figure.
Now I want AI to generate an Inaction Man comic.
Well, you get boring human writing instead:
"Inaction Man! There's a seven story building burning with kids and kittens on the top floor!"
Inaction Man scratches his belly and pops another potato chip into his mouth.
"Have you considered calling the fire department instead of me? They are doing reruns of the Sopranos so I'm busy."
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be buying one at the first opportunity.
My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of "it's just Jack Black, I guess".
(No sarcasm. I'm really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing "Jack Black".)
Jack Black was mean to his friend just because his friend didn't like Trump
It's more "Jack Black is a coward and a poser" than being mean imo
All the keyboard warriors in this thread implying they'd happily shout out 'death to Trump!' on the world stage while having a kid and family living in the US (as JB does) are kidding themselves.
I have girlfriends in the US. Give me a microphone and I'll shout death to Trump as loud as you want.
What's worse, a keyboard warrior or a keyboard coward? Bitches out here pretending the guys report to Greg in accounting and have to worry about a visit from HR lmao
That would mean something coming from someone with principles beyond subservience.
~~Calling~~Wishing for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.
Im pretty sure any "mean" thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as "mean." It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.
Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)
edit: forgot it was a "wish"
He didn't call for it. He wished for it. Big difference. One involves other people, one involves candles, shooting stars, and genies.
That's a dodge worthy of slippery Don himself. We both know that "wishing" someone to die and calling for someone to die are both toxic discourse and doing so where Trump is involved is toxic as well as dangerous.
Kyle was no doubt saying it flippantly to be funny. And Id probably laugh if a friend of mine said it and I was at a private birthday party. I have that luxury because I am not a public figure. Jack Black, however, very much IS a public figure (as is Kyle, albeit somehat less famous,) which brings with it much more scrutiny and no doubt a different calculus.
Again, Kyle said theyre still friends and all is forgiven so this was all just an excuse to insert your toxicity into another lemmy thread.
There are so many people who don't seem to understand what "middle aged" means. It means halfway to your life expectancy. So maybe 40, considering the average man in this country dies in their 70s. Jack Black is past middle age at 55.
Nah, middle age is not on specific age. Its the middle third of life span.
