  • Whats the most disgusting thing you've ever put in your mouth?

    Jump

  • Oh that reminds me of when I was like 4, one of the neighborhood kids convinced a bunch of the other kids to eat some of those cicada exoskeletons they leave on trees. I did not, but I'm pretty sure some of the other kids did.

  • Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. Fuck these ghouls.

  • What rhymes with constitution?

  • It's things like this that make people say Luigi is a saint. There are people just clearly doing awful things with immunity, and there's no lawful mechanisms to deal with it.

  • So... How do we remove this guy from office?

  • Exciting times!

    Jump

  • It's interesting when you get a mix of your sort of person and the other "let's go out for drinks" together in the same office. One workplace most of us would go out for drinks and karaoke, or hang out for board games, but there was always one guy who was like "nah thanks". Still friends with one guy from that group. The one that never came around, no idea what he's up to. He's probably happy that way.

  • Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate

    Jump

  • Also trying to claim "they're not employees if US. They're contractors" should mean you forfeit all your wealth and get banned from leadership positions for life.

  • Free street parking is a subsidy for car owners

    Jump

  • I'd like to see more spaces converted into like "15 minute loading/unloading". There's a lot of double parking that's just people trying to do something quick.

    I think it was on coney Island avenue the other day that the whole right lane was taken up by people double parking. That's absurd. Not sure why so many people needed to drive someplace so close to several subways and bus stops, but there's a lot of ways to discourage that space.

  • Conservatives don't say things because they're true. They say things because they think it will get them what they want.

  • Senate Republicans reverse Iran war powers vote after Trump berates them at Capitol meeting

    Jump

  • Part of being conservative (ie: authoritarian) is being extra loyal to the in-group. I think it's like in their brain chemistry and structure. They will almost always yield to the authority figure for their in group.

  • Steam Summer Sale 2026 Has Begun

    Jump

  • It's hard for me to justify buying anything since my job is so crap. I have the money, I just feel spiteful and angry at capitalism.

  • Epic CEO Tim Sweeney Criticizes Steam's AI Disclosure Requirement, Calls It "Irresponsible"

    Jump

  • Tim Sweeney should go away and never come back.

  • Isaac is fantastic. With all the expansions, it's hundreds of hours of goodness.

    Grim Dawn didn't really click with me. None of the classes I tried felt good, and the constellations stuff is hard to work with. There's a lot of options scattered around, and I feel like I have to read and dozens of things to plan out a coherent build. Or use a guide, which is un-fun.

  • Hate to see this

  • as should anyone living in the area while demanding lower taxes.

    If conservatives had shame about reasonable things, a lot of problems would go away.

  • Here’s What It Means to Be a Democratic Socialist - Universal health care, taxing the wealthy and opposition to military aid to Israel are among the movement’s key tenets

    Jump

  • It faces the problem where even if people like the policy, they're emotionally invested in being Republicans. Also many of them don't want social programs if it means non-whites benefit. I think those people need to be dragged into the future. Find a way to let them be decent and save their stupid face.

  • Supreme Court rules asylum seekers can be turned back at US border

    Jump

  • I would consider medical facilities at entry points so people can get vaccines and treated for contagious things on entry. Maybe it's the top of a slippery slope but if someone actively has measles I don't want them to just walk into a major city. I wouldn't charge them for health stuff, because that's monstrous.

    Maybe some sort of placement service, too? Help people get settled. Language classes.

  • Centrist Democrats are freaking out about progressives’ winning streak

    Jump

  • The book "Dying of Whiteness" is fascinating and depressing look into this. Many people would rather personally suffer and die than let the out-group have something nice. They don't want healthcare for all because that means black people get it.

  • That is not enough of a penalty.

  • Leadership are mostly idiots. They don't know how work gets done. They think like "wow it produced so many lines of code!" and don't know that's not a useful metric.

    My job had Microsoft do a four hour copilot demo for the entire team last week. (Surely an immense expense. They won't pay for most people to be full time with benefits). The guy used copilot to make a regex to parse html. A little surprised zalgo didn't show up.

  • Louisiana sheriff retires after pleading guilty to beating podcaster who often criticized him

  • He shouldn't be able to retire to a peaceful life. He should be ruined.

    Things like this feed the idea that the justice system won't produce justice, so if you want it you better get it yourself.
