Oh, Biden ordered the invasion did he? Or should the rest of the world have just let Russia do whatever without a word?

Well they definitely get bigger when the rhythm is right. Do it enough and they can be your weapon of choice.

I got to visit Scotland once and was told in no uncertain terms that we were not to refer to the weather as “cold.”

It might be brisk. It might even be bracing. But never cold. Has to be something to it.

Hah, my mom fell for this shit from letter that circulated around. Dumbest shit ever.

All due to Sodium Erythorbate.

Yes, clearly the only people that don’t like commies are fascists, like all of those people who lived under nominally “communist” regimes. Weird how they developed fascism from the experience.

If only more billionaires tried to visit the Titanic.

Italian American Immigrants, sure.

I bet if we mapped out the relationships between various CEOs and boards of directors we could predict these selections rather well…

You really think enough people are going to love doing septic tank maintenance and picking berries and all the other hot, painful, messy shit that people have to do to keep ourselves alive to support that? Because I don’t.

Maybe when we’ve got amazing robots that can do all that I guess, but then we’ve just moved on to robot maintenance and coding. Granted more people will be ok with those tasks, but they call it work because it’s WORK.

Kinda looks like she came from a McRib tbh.

It’s definitely not human nature and is, instead, an improbably well coordinated conspiracy by a gigantic corporation known for being full of internal conflict over a span of decades to engineer helplessness in users. Whereas we all know that users are normally such resilient, inquisitive souls, more than willing to engage with a piece of technology in order to understand it. Or they were, until Microsoft attacked. Alas, if only it were not for the great evil empire, all would be well. At least this very real conspiracy serves the additional purpose of flattering the community’s vanities and affirming its values as both morally correct and intellectually superior. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

Why can’t steam just allow some games you flag to not announce themselves?

I mean I tried to watch RRR. It was … unintentionally funny. But by all means go on hating popular thing.

Dude I am 100% certain you replied to the wrong guy, because the only 40k stories I’ve read are Caiphas Cain books (which are pretty funny and entertaining).

Not really into grimdark though; when positive change is impossible I tend to check out and lose interest in the story.

It’s there. To paraphrase Anton Ego though, new things need people to stick up for them. So if you see a new story, go see it and tell your friends. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a great example. Amazing movie, and it’s stuck with me.

Man I don’t wanna get into Scientology!

Yeah ok, I can believe that’d hold a week.

What model are you using?

Turn about is fair play, I say.

That’s an hour long, about a different video than the one I linked (or at least the bits I skimmed were), and so far as I know Gates understands that climate change is a huge threat. Greenwashing is a weird accusation and I don’t understand how it applies here.

But whatever, welcome to the block list.
