i don't think there's a more self defeating anti-piracy system than streaming sites that don't let you take screenshots. i am trying to talk about your product on social media! for free! and you're making that logistically difficult just in case i'm dedicated enough to do it 30 times a second!

for the record i know this will be a "fell for it again" in terms of expecting quality from a SE remaster in this decade but nevertheless

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

I *need* those overalls that Abby Tubes wore in the new video. Please and thank.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

oh look it’s the thing everyone said wouldn’t happen and hadn’t happened, happening

Can’t believe the right got poly sex cults weirdly obsessed with rocketry in the national divorce. Really thought we had that one in the bag.

ran into one of my favorite baristas again while shopping the other night, found out where they're working now, and have been checking it out regularly to try and catch their schedule since 😅 i lost track of where they were after a string of closures

the lil crossing flags at crosswalks dont make drivers yield so I propose every crosswalk have several mechs with a revolver cannon on one arm and a small caliber high rate of fire gatling on the other so pedestrians can use them to cross with impunity

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

When I'm sad, which is NEVER btw, I simply go into a state of complete denial

"em dashes are a sign that something was written by AI" you are simply jealous that i've memorized that I can hold alt and press 0151 on the numpad to produce an em dash whenever i desire. look: —. it's beautiful. i'll even do it again: —

This is the thing that almost bothers me the most. The most basic and obvious metrics don't fucking work, why on earth I should believe any of these companies are even a century away from AGI is beyond me

something something don't speak ill of the dead but with Connolly passing that's 3 dems who've died in office this year and i think it's long last time we have a major reckoning with political age limits and the "lifer politician"

(I don't love how often Doc Rivers is the best response to 99.9% of political news these days.)

What I find fascinating is how I’ve been terminally online since I was a teen, and me and my other friends came out of Covid mostly okay. My uncle, on the other hand, now believes that Hillary Clinton made AIDS airborne because of something he read on Facebook.
