DotA was the first and at the time only Daddy DJ remix I knew about and when I heard All I Ever Wanted come on in the gym (this was like 2010) I almost lost my shit

yeah it just boggles my mind how comfortable people are to get on their moral high horse about how it should be totally unobjectionable to make sure people Follow The Law No Matter What and the alternative is that you agree with the dril drunk driving tweet

“oh you don’t want to give open-ended consent for the trump administration to monitor your location data and share it with other law enforcement agencies? Wow I thought you cared about saving lives like me, but I guess you have a lot of growing up to do”

drunk driving should be illegal but that doesn’t mean every car should be mandated to have an internet-enabled breathalyzer tied to operating it

yeah but if my discord didn't have a curated intake for relevant topics I wouldn't have learned about that Texas guy's asteroid sodomization fantasy
comment in response to post
sort of same but this place is also a topic generator for discord

any football-spiking over Elon's current role is actually barely disguised cope because we all wanted an incredibly messy breakup between Elon and the admin, we're not gonna get it, and it really sucks
comment in response to post
hate to say it but the trump admin did the excellent political maneuver of keeping Elon involved while lining up a media blitz where he pretends he isn't because no one actually cares if Russ Vought and the heir to Lesser Evil brand popcorn destroy the administrative state

wasn’t he in the WH meeting with Ramaphosa a week ago and isn’t the state department still trying to use HIV meds to extort The Gambia into buying starlink
comment in response to post
yeah personally I’m willing to swallow the hypocrisy that minor moving violations on public roads isn’t automatically a public act deserving of enforcement because treating them as such opens the door to horrific personal privacy implications
comment in response to post
this is technically feasible but legally dubious in the exact sort of facially innocent way that DOGE would justify to create a horrific society-wide panopticon
comment in response to post
maximalist interpretation of this would be the feds correlating GPS and vehicle location data to infer that at some point in a journey from point A to B that occurs in some sufficiently short time, your phone and your vehicle had to have exceeded the speed limit even if it can’t visually confirm

I think Theranos failing was a turning point in these people realizing that doing actual biology is more complicated than making a website, and therefore too hard

all I got is that Penn State played a game in Ireland at least once and there’s a big PSU/Steelers overlap

it's just silly that Japan and Korea would have the same rooting interest especially, but they're stuck because LA is also Korea-coded
comment in response to post
yeah, Japan is unofficially LA fans now because of Ohtani even though Seattle made a lot more historical sense

it's like how in 2012 when Washington was first starting to talk about changing their name some people seriously argued they should become the Griffins

I like this idea that all of Nigeria has to be submitted to an indefinite period of Cleveland Browns indoctrination because David Njoku is some sort of fundamental all-time cornerstone of the franchise
comment in response to post
top three currently have to be giving all of Asia the same team, giving the Chargers to Greece for some reason, and the only locality that the Commanders get is a third of Dubai

I'm legitimately having a hard time coming up with the funniest part of this picture

bro just stop

if you made this cooler for Russians to do than join the army the war would end immediately

the acute pandemic stage of covid actually started like two years ago but it broke the thermodynamic arrow of time
comment in response to post
there's some combination of solipsism, quantum multiverse theory, and the strong anthropic principle that leads some people to conclude they physically can't experience their own death and so the universe they exist in will be the exact forks of chance needed for them to exist forever
comment in response to post
excited to see what sort of horrific worldviews the zoomers adopt when they realize that "live long enough for AGI to discover how to live forever" isn't gonna happen
comment in response to post
imo Roy Moore definitely would’ve won if it wasn’t a special election
comment in response to post
imagine playing so much bugball with your mind that you temporarily forget how to walk irl

I want to control a nonhuman body with my mind so badly
