letting out a harrowing scream as i swing my sword wildly above my head, trying to attract a mate

OK, we'll see how long I can keep this up. Let's start with Star Raiders. Mindblowing to little ol' me. A grid of navigable space terrain. Starbases to protect. Enemy ships to blast. Getting a rank at the end! It felt like a fleshed-out world, & I still wear the badge of GARBAGE SCOW CAPTAIN proudly

This isn’t drugs. This is him assuming other people don’t work because he doesn’t do that much work. Very common bad boss behavior. bsky.app/profile/rcma...

(regularly replaying from a save to get the ideal outcome I know I can achieve if things just go my way) no I'm not a control freak obsessed with success what are you talking about

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

Where is foghorn leghorn from I want my kids to talk like that

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting. Settings > Screen Time > scroll down to Content and Privacy > turn on Restrictions > Intelligence and Siri > turn off the first three options

The U.S. government sure has some interesting ideas about what men typically look like, tbh!

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

Yes, the inner circle of the Third Reich *was* as cringe as their modern counterparts They were weirdo failsons cosplaying as Germanic Pagans of yore while zooted on "vitamin shots" (a mix of speed, animal hormones & opiates) and fucking each others wives. All fascists are cringe.

it’s incredible that both wine and grape Crush come from the same fruit

RIP to a real one.

For the longest time I thought people were saying “it’s a doggy dog World” & I always thought fuck ya sounds great

Well, they DO. 🤷🏽‍♀️

if anyone could do anything about any of this that’d be so appreciated

I want a TV show that's just Levar Burton and Jonathan Frakes having a lovely time on nice long train journeys

do not let the bodies hit the floor. catch the bodies. please. the floor is lava.

It takes 20 seconds, maybe 60, to write reasonable ALT text. It’s worth it.

Say what you will about premium currency in free to play games (and there's a lot to say, make no mistake), titles like Star Trek Online and SWTOR basing a good 1/5 of the gameplay around getting the look of your characters and ships JUST SO says how much they understand their players.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

btw I do highly recommend thinking of blocking as uninviting someone from your phone. Do it with as much or as little animus as you want, but you don’t have to give everyone a permanent standing invitation to your phone

Minecraft players say shit like “The hole is ready.” Be wary of their schemes.

You can’t even be a nightmare shadow monster without someone melting you with a flashlight then blowing you away with a handgun, because of Wake. #timelyreference

In traditional European heraldry, there are colors and metals (silver/white, gold/yellow). The rule is you never put a metal on a metal, or a color on a color. It's a rule for readability reasons - you want contrast. You want to be able to read it clearly on a battlefield. That said, it's a rule.

Look the fuckin’ baby just didn’t like the fuckin’ shoes okay.

I can't do anything to help so it's ok for me to be dicking around on here but if you can help fix the country, log off

Gonna let you in on a little secret here, but most people don't want to see the thing they use disrupted, it's kinda offputting. PC gaming in particular has an in-built skepticism of new storefronts/services because of stuff like Desura and Games for Windows Live, as opposed to what works.

you need some schemes bro. bro it’s time to start plotting. you need some machinations. some mackies bro

we are rapidly turning into the kind of small minded authoritarian country that is given a made-up name in an action thriller

Text STOP to end the hauntings

Fun fact: Euler, the most prolific mathematician who ever lived, was blind for most of his life. When he lost his eyesight he told friends "eh, less distractions" and just kept pumping out work nonstop.

You hold the arsonists accountable

Actually if we continue to convince everyone it’s fucking stupid and is killing the earth (which it is) and they stop using it, then we’ve addressed both the former and the latter.

Fact checking genAI is actually, skilled work, and a massive pain in the fucking ass, because of how good it is at looking good while being actually very bad Your only assumption when fact checking genAI responses MUST be Everything this is telling me is a lie until proven otherwise

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

yes i am an elder millennial how did you know

"I am finally free." Leonard Peltier walked out of prison today at 8:40am, nearly 50 years after the U.S. govt lied to put him there. New statement from Peltier, along with photos of him moments after leaving prison, in the sun, happy. www.huffpost.com/entry/leonar...

Three years ago, my best friend Grace and I decided to watch "Doctor Who" in its entirety, from 1963 to the (then-) present, and because I am a glutton for punishment I decided to review the whole thing, episode by episode, as we watched it. I posted those reviews in the longest, most elaborate...

This is interesting, the writer of Breaking Bad calls for more positive characters in TV fiction, after realising Walter White is often misunderstood by fans as an aspirational, badass icon rather than an obvious monster www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/v...

Parents regularly ask me “How do I get my child to read?” I ask them “How much do you read in front of your kids?” My parents read a lot in front of me. One of the books on my Dad’s bookshelf was this one. I vaguely remember him telling me about it when I asked. Finally got round to reading it…

Lol this sign "Do not bring food into the library Food residue will attract mice Mice will acquire knowledge in the library Get into university Then replace you" 😂
