The donors don't want their workforce deported. But you'll be subject to deportation if you quit your job or join a union or try to bargain for better wages or complain about sexual harassment.

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

back in good ol' chilly melbourne 🥶

do you think they'll re-release 4 Resident Evil for the 2 Nintendo Switch

I'm one step ahead because I never even realised you could turn the console on from the pro controller in the first place. All part of my master plan

Nintendo making it so the Switch 1 pro controllers can't turn the Switch 2 on is such a middle finger move. Like, it's not a big enough deal to justify me buying an expensive new controller, but I do sit down, try to turn the console on, swear, and get up to do it manually every single time.

A lot of game critics love to complain about the "actual" hourly rate for reviews, the need to crunch 60-100+ hour games in shorter, and shorter embargo windows, etc. But the thing that truly whips me into an incurably homicidal froth is how games have one slot, that auto-saves constantly.

Yeah okay this shit should be banned. It should be banned and destroyed.

relooted is being made by a team of developers from numerous african countries, but only its white south african creative director was able to demo it to summer game fest attendees. this was most certainly not always the plan

“short, rogue-like deck builder” completely kills my interest on a Steam page but would get me excited in a dating profile

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

People are reporting shit like "Meta is buidling a Superintelligence" straight faced without underscoring that the company has not made a single successful product on its own since Mark made a gazillion dollars on ripping off Hot or Not. Occasionally they'll buy something that works and break it.

“she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror”

me to my date when the restaurant plays don't stop believing

we need more human-loving, fast-talking, street-smart, SLAM-dancing moogles in the world

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

trying to divorce otaku interests from the overtly horny stuff that served as a foundation for so much of it, especially visual novels is cringe. you should respect eroge as much as any other work in the medium

when the youtube short is about to loop

man, I have never been less motivated to get back into genshin than I am now. like there's an upcoming character I was looking forward to but I don't even want to think about the game or its toxic-ass community anymore

I'm just gonna say it, I don't think non-senators should get shoved and tackled for demanding answers from their government either! Like I think whether he identified himself as a senator or not is sort of beside the point!

Cannot stress how much every surviving German and Italian and Spaniard who opposed the rise of fascism and survived until the fall of their respective regimes said the same thing: "We didn't fight them hard enough on the streets"

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

Your honor my client was within the i-frames

Summary: - Dude is an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US - ICE abducts and "detains" him - Private "detention" facility has him doing farmwork - So he's still an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US, but now paid only $1 a day Nobody's been convicted of a crime or anything
