2008-2014, I think it had value as a public square where journalists of all stripes really engaged. Now it’s a cesspool. Anyone still hanging out at the nazi bar should really stop and think about the ramifications.

I’m more worried about North Korea’s program. Iran is, strangely, the paragon of reason and predictability - compared to North Korea.

or a hospital… ugh

I imagine sad, regretful brits dining/vacationing are a boon to the economy.

then I can only hope and pray the hondalords hear my hondaprayers

This other thread on chicken inflation kinda bucks this trend but who’s really right?

or maybe they’re growing humongous chickens with teeny tiny bones?

yo Honda bring back the Element as an EV! PLEASE!

yup.

choice or forced the reconcile the gloomy outlook, the right wing would love to take even the right to choose away from the population. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/birth-control-is-next-republicans-abortion.html

oh trust me, the right wing would LOVE to take your ability to choose to procreate out of your hands completely. Abortion for sure, but also the the night after pill and even birth control. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/birth-control-is-next-republicans-abortion.html

Makes a fascinating short story:

Jimmy thought his job at the data center was easy, clock in, watch the cameras, do the rounds, clock out. Good pay, low effort…

then 10,000 people showed up with hammers and crow bars. Jimmy was about to have a very bad day.

• low wages
• no unions
• housing is either a lifetime’s savings for down payment on mortgage or a never ending escalator of rent fees
• states taking reproductive rights away
• states threatening contraception
• climate change dooming the future
• war - war in ukraine, war in palestine, war in africa, civil war being threatened by the chud down the street

Gee Mr Wizard, why don’t millennials want babies instead of avocado toast?

makes me wonder when people are going to start caring about the power draw from PC’s and consoles.

I love gaming. Grew up gaming. Make my living working in the fringes of the game industry. And it makes me wonder when we’re going to discuss the clock cycles in the room…

I take comfort that the coal rollers and assholes who fly 40 miles for nachos far outweigh any contributions my aging PC generates but I do worry in the aggregate: we’re powering machines to generate heat to provide entertainment, and at some point that’s going to come under examination.

this fucking guy… goddamn

safety training no less. basic gun safety and security was one of the biggest things the NRA did until they transformed into a lobbying org for the arms industry.

are you suggesting tick-born illness has been weaponized by…? what, the soy milk mafia?

do you have any idea how staggeringly, mind-numbingly stupid that sounds?

I blame the fucking stoopid sumerians for not using arabic numerals, I mean fucking come on you’re practically in the neighborhood what the hell man

that shit slaps goatskin

well put

it’s that voice in the back that’s always there, but waits for a quiet moment to suggest crazy shit. I liken it to very very mild, controlled tourette’s - random impulses that shouldn’t even raise to the level of conscious thought but for whatever reason slip through the ‘noise’ filter.
