I guess it is a good thing that this is seen as a problem worthy of addressing. I tend to comment more than I would have on reddit, as a means of just driving up activity and engagement on this comparatively low traffic alternative, and so I will definitely go in for some low effort joke cracking just to get the ball rolling sometimes. Maybe that’s not as needed anymore.
How embarassing for you that you aren’t able to pick up Trump’s expertly delivered sarcasm.
Trump and co are spreading the lie that Haitan refugees in Springfield Ohio are stealing family pets and eating them.
Just as an aside, the GOP Twitter posted an AI generated image of a cat and a goose looking scared with a caption like “protect our cats and ducks” and cats I get, sure, but I’m supposed to believe eating duck is somehow crazy?
Duck? Of L’orange fame?
Insanely, if he were capable of forming and articulating coherent thoughts, he could have actually landed an attack that would have turned off some swing voters, but he was basically frothing with impotent rage by that point.
Relevant survey response:
“14. As President will you use your executive authority to ensure that transgender and non- binary people who rely on the state for medical care — including those in prison and immigration detention — will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care? If yes, how will you do so? Yes X No ⬜ Explanation (no more than 500 words): It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition. That’s why, as Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates. I support policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition, including surgical care, while incarcerated or detained. Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment.”
Only losers blame the ref.
I am literally - and I’m 100% serious - pooping at work right now.
Highly recommended.
I bought 7 Days to Die about a week ago and put it on my Steamdeck right before a transcontinental flight, and since I started it on that flight, I haven’t played much of anything else.
I don’t know why but it’s kind of perfect for me right now, right between Ark and Project Zomboid and I feel like I have a lot of control over the pace of the game. Its nice.
This is the main thing I come up with because curiosity is the one thing that keeps ignorance from being a temporary state.
That may be the single most intuitive, and intuitively useful, app I have used in years.
Wow, instant default install.
In think ‘shrewd’ is probably the word, even if using it ironically.
Clarity is peak for me, but Bleed American is an amazing accomplishment

Mentally swapping the urge to be hydrated for the urge to be full was a game changer for me, and I wish there was one cool trick I could share but it was trial and error for me.
Lemmings on MS DOS. I think it was DOS, I was like 10.
I think it’s dangerous now, without regulation and protection, and I think it’s a long way from how I feel it will eventually come to be viewed; as something more akin to performance art or a form of therapy.
We met on the internet back when that was still viewed as kinda sketchy.
We progressed very quickly from being friends to deciding we were meant for each other to having a kid on the way and being married at a very young age.
I think most people knew we were doomed from the start.
And I don’t blame them for thinking so, but we’re planning to renew our vows in a few years, when we celebrate our 25th anniversary. Just to twist the knife.
In all seriousness, I love my wife more than I ever thought I would be capable of loving someone else, and that is a statement that is increasingly true with time, and mutually shared, as it seems we aren’t done falling in love yet.
But I hesitate to relate this story, romantic as it is (and it is), because it risks validating what was really a series of poorly informed decisions; partially the passion of youth and partially the ignorance of a sheltered upbringing. It so happens we did and do love each other, but there are many unknowable versions of our story where our love would just not have been able to overcome our circumstances. We are beating the odds so far, but the odds are, yknow, the odds.
But damn I love my wife.
I don’t know about you all, but I have been posting as an adult human male for a numbers of years now despite being a 4 year old Alaskan Malamute. No one seems to notice or care.
It’s good old-fashioned xenophobia and is by no means unique to Americans or English-speakers even in the modern era. Anyone who has spent enough time in certain parts of France, Italy, or Belgium has probably encountered it at some point.
It’s everywhere but it is probably most prevalent in countries with a strong nationalist core and, in my opinion, ironically occurs most often in countries that have really fucked around with having an empire in the last century or so.
Thank to conservatives and their culture war, I think the entire concept of satire is on an indefinite hiatus.
