My first thought was a German Stein became sentient and went to fetch beer for the good lady.

“Has to step in”….as if this was some ongoing danger to America that he lied 5 years ago. The ongoing danger to America is the terrorist cult of MAGA….and their leaders are fetching 30 times as many felonies of exponentially more serious ongoing crimes. 😂

Hunter strikes back, MAGA catches more felonies….
Volley returned with two major lawsuits against about a dozen MAGgots and the FBI for knowingly illegally publicly exposing a private citizen’s taxes and multiple computer crimes surrounding exposing private nude photos….both are serious crimes, felonies.

He may be found guilty…and may even get fined (he won’t see jail time). He’s going to recover that fine 100 times over from the morons that broke the law to smear him, and they are more likely to see prison for the multiple crimes they committed in their zeal to find ANYTHING to smear Biden’s family with and attempt to distract from the uncountable serious (many treasonous) crimes against America and democracy their leader is guilty of, including RAPE, and the 91 serious criminal charges against him so far.

Dopey Hunter fetches a felony.



Gets kick out the of the Navy for excessive Drug use and now DOJ has to step in.

It’s simple fetch quests and sneaking around search lights.got it for free on ps extra. Kinda fun little distraction. That’s about it.

It's not far-fetched to believe that the Oscars PR guys/scriptwriters hold dear to the "any press is good press" myth. "Ratings desperation" makes any idea seems like a good idea to those bozos.

Wait- there are actually real doppelgangers?

This is nuts.

Also funny coincidence: just today I was thinking about the movie Dave, where an ordinary guy became the stand-in for the president because he happened to look exactly the same.

And I was thinking, "Nah, that's way too far-fetched."

Then I come onto The Sift and see this video?!

thanks
I wanted to see more people playing fetch, taking it for a run, Spot running and jumping at the beach, etc, but it was still great to see what it's really good for too.

I once read a book about all the things you can train your dog to do.

"How to get your dog to fetch you a beer."
What a great idea!
"Step 1. Teach your dog how to open the refrigerator."
Um, nope.

Harsh!

Obviously cut together, but not TOO far-fetched!

I love Shark Tank. Big fan.

I think poorly made cars that get horrible gas mileage and are not the right size is more than enough reasons why they don't buy American cars. Also Japanese cars ARE fuel efficient, the most reliable cars made, and the right size. I think pay back for American protectionism seems far fetched when all the above reasons are so overwhelming, but just my opinion of course

@KirbyToekit Exactly what I was thinking.

Couldn't really enjoy the joke because it's based too far outside reality. Firstly, I've had IRS problems and they don't just see you making large deposits then contact you and make you explain. That's nonsense. And secondly, the IRS agent making large-sum bets is a step too far-fetched for me.

I don't think I want to see it play fetch!

The last comment about 'be a nice guy' is interesting.

I was listening to Joe Rogan Experience, and they mentioned something about how the genesis of the 'woman hater' is actually the forever-friend-zoned-nice-guy who gets so fed up with being 'taken for granted'/'shot down' that his niceness turns into hatred

It made sense to me. Essentially, the woman hater is what becomes of a boring nice guy who lacked the patience/endurance to wait for women his age to make their way through all the exciting unreliable men before being satiated (or just getting too old to fetch the interesting men's attention) and finally settling for the nice guy that was boringly always available.



And I get it. It plays into the human natural value system, where things that are scarce are more valuable.

The ahole is fleeting. You can't always have him, and if you do you can't hold him, so he has an element of scarcity, which creates value.

The nice guy will reliably stick around if you go with him, so he is less scarce, so he is less valuable. The lower value in turn makes him more likely to be single and always available, further reducing his scarcity, and further devaluing him, and further increasing his chances of being single. A feedback loop.

I suppose that there is also a 3rd path - the element of nice guys that just stop giving a crap before turning into haters, which makes them more scarce, which actually finally gets them attention, and they stop being single.

(And a 4th path - nice guy finds 'a girl who wants a nice guy from the start'. In my observation this isn't the typical case.)



Cases like this (forever alone nice guy, not specifically Mr Van Driver) are when I think 'arrangement' web sites create a good solution. The guys get to not be lonely anymore, and the women gets taken care of. Kind of plays into the nice guy natural instinct, too.

Amusingly, 'arrangement' may be a better fit for the forever-alone nice guys than 'waiting it out'.
In both cases (waiting vs arrangement) the women are mainly after stability/support.
The older women 'nice guy' matches with by 'waiting it out' would not have picked 'nice guy' if they still had the looks to keep pulling exciting men.
So, if you're gonna be with someone because they want you for support, why not just go with a younger woman and be up front about the situation. If it doesn't work out, either party can walk away. No messy divorce. Seems like a safer and more practical option.

(Not picking on older women, just observing that : as people get older, the single scene becomes more and more 'leftovers' that are 'left over for a good reason'. The odds of finding anyone worth while diminish with time, because the highest quality individuals get retained first. Wait long enough, and you're left with over the hill jaded pragmatists who once may have had looks but now have nothing left to offer. At which point, both 'arrangement' and 'being single' are legitimately better options.)



Regarding Mr. Van Guy specifically, I'm not sure if he had a chance. He had some social anxiety that made him unable to talk to people. So he was likely not gonna get a partner naturally, and was unlikely to succeed among professional peers well enough to get the financial security necessary to be some sugar daddy.

So, yeah, dude was likely a romantic dead end. Possibly even the same mental (brain developmental?) issues that made him unable to talk to people also made him susceptible to getting the sort of crazy tilted that allowed him to run people over. The dude could have actually been fated (circumstantially) to end up in tragedy. Just speculating, wouldn't shock me.

Oh, I'm fucking getting one. That's all there is to it.

That's going to be so great. My dog died in March after having him for 12 years, and we plan not to get another until our kids are old enough to take care of him, so this would be a pretty fun and much easier compromise...

but man it's going to be hard to play fetch with that thing.
