It’s not supposed to be an image, it’s supposed to be a link? Weird. But I also like that it shows failed to load, that works too! I am so used to putting image links I accidentally made it an image link first before I made it a normal link, maybe the edit hasn’t propagated to your instance yet.

My muscles: “I remember nothing”

Did everyone forget that anyone can use any device and it’s not like any specific device is literally under your skin and directly, permanently tied to you? We aren’t teletubbies with our devices built into our chests.

How the living fuck do they expect this to work? What if it’s a shared device?

Everything about this shit is so fucking sutpid eat shit Starmer.

Nah, the pinch hitter was the pipe, the dugout was the little wooden case the pinch hitter went back into after their hit.

Both aspects are baseball metaphors, just like a batter goes back to the dugout if they strike out or get a home run.

Why do I know this I don’t even like baseball.

less accidental renaissance and more like accidental non-euclidean space

I grew up in Washington surrounded by apple orchards. We grew chest hair from smoking out of those apples and then eating them to remove the evidence… and then we got cancer from smoking and eating the pesticides on the apples, turns out the chest hair was an early warning sign.

(I do actually have cancer, but it’s not actually this, this is a joke)

Fuck yeah weed brother!

We walked toked so they could run vape!

I wish there was a possible way to run an authoritative DNS yourself. The best I can do is a recursive server blah.

It’s not even that Bitcoin is a honeypot, it’s that it isn’t actually private at all, and through good ol detective work a wallet can be connected to a person, as well as their inflows and outflows and what wallets they’re sending or receiving money from.

The tough was going because they were too busy following procedure and decorum instead fighting tooth and nail for citizens.

He literally used the parliamentarian as an excuse, when the Republicans had already dispensed with following rules.

He could have steamrolled the parliamentarian and gotten the public option. A lot of us spend time thinking what could have been if Democrats hadn’t been so focused on decorum and gentleman handshakes and working across the aisle and instead rammed it down everyone’s throats like fucking GOP claims they did anyway.

Trump is literally president again because Biden was too focused in decorum and gentleman handshakes too. There wasn’t a good reason to make Merrick Garland AG, for example, but Garland got put in anyway.

I am basically a script kiddie and Anthropic Claude helped me design a small app for myself that was way beyond my own capabilities and it even went as far as documenting in comments what each bit of the program did for me, to help me understand the logic.

I only have access because I got a free year of Perplexity.ai because I had a paypal account (barf, had to have it to get paid for gig work).

I see it as very useful for anything technical, it helped me through some troubleshooting a hardware issue with my monitor I was having trouble pinning down by browsing forums.

I would never purposely divulge personal info to an LLM, anything that’s shared has had personal info stripped.

I know your example is the opposite, but any service that is run and hosted in the US.

It’s one of the major issues with Signal.

You know that’s really dismissive to those of us who were clearly fucking adults when this was happening. You don’t have to act like “you must be a child to not see the world the way I do!” Doing that is what is fucking childish. Surprise, people who lived through the same events have different feelings on it.

Did no one read a fucking word of the article? Is everyone that desperate to miss the point and jerk off Obama? I thought we didn’t treat our guys like gods like Republicans do? Yet we’re not allowed to critique them? Fuck me, you need to grow the fuck up. Obama hasn’t even been directly involved in politics for a long time now, why do we need to jerk off his legacy?

One could also argue he could have learned that lesson already because Republicans stonewalling everything started in the 90s with Newt Gingrich. We had already had nearly 20 years of them pulling sketchy shit while the Democrats were like “I don’t think they can do that? Oh they did that, well I guess they can do that, but we won’t do that, because DECORUM!”

No offense, but if I could tell that was a dead end to try to work with Republicans by 2008 when I was nearly 30, then the guy who is capable enough to be President probably ought to understand that, too.

When he said “we need to look forward, not backward” in regard to war crimes, I began to worry we’d have someone worse than Dubya Bush someday and shocker I was right.

I died laughing at this trailer.

“No one believed me when I said the newest Belmont would be a giiiiiiiiiirrrrrl.”

Was this written by a twelve year old? I’m fucking dying. This is clearly an adult woman. To have that as an actual line in the game, let alone the trailer itself. It even trails on the word girl like they’re going to follow up with “ewww cooties!” I’m fucking dead.

EDIT: Especially because most Castlevania fans are in their fucking forties and fifties (I’m glaring at you Adi Shankar)! Oh yeah let’s call this adult woman a girl because this game is totally aimed at *checks notes… the 40+ demographic.

They held majorities in both chambers for over a year, and he still used the Parliamentarian as an excuse for why he couldn’t get a public option. Now he tells us the Democrats need to stop doing the gentleman’s handshake and fight hard… which he didn’t do himself. It just rings hollow.

They had 72 days of a filibuster-proof supermajority. They would still have a majority in both chambers until the mid-term elections in 2010 when Republicans took majority in the House but Democrats still had the majority in the Senate. But sure, they didn’t have majorities in congress and they certainly didn’t have a majority so big you couldn’t filibuster it for two and half months.

Maybe read the article.

The article is referencing statements made in 2009-2010 from Obama where his excuses for not getting a public option was the parliamentarian. Yet, now Obama says we should be doing things like steamrolling the parliamentarian when he used that as an excuse himself for why he couldn’t get a better bill out.

It’s not revisionist history if they’re referencing documents from that period of time.

Further, the person who they interview, whose letter Obama responded to, still sings high praises for Obama while simultaneously having a different view of the Obama administration simply because of the long-term effects, some of which people warned would happen, like creating a domestic spying network could get handed to a fascist, or that not prosecuting war criminals emboldened other criminals, not jailing more of Wall Street, I could go on.

Obama is the best president of my lifetime.

The problem is the bar is incredibly fucking low here. The people he is up against are both Bushes, Clinton, Biden, and Trump. Obama outshines them all, but they also all fucking sucked hard in their own ways, so it’s not like he’s up against quality.

I hated that episode of Dr. Who

From the article:

In addition to the recent news, it was announced that the animated series of Among Us is now available for streaming on Paramount+. Some observant individuals on social media noted that the show was released without much fanfare. However, it seems that the low-key launch was intentional, as they were waiting for the official announcement during the Summer Games Fest presentation.

It was stealth released before Games Fest where they announced it and this game.
