new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

I wonder whether the to-scale model of the pub inside the pub has a to-scale model of the pub inside

Knights are lesbian-coded, pass it on

Wait, maybe GenAI is so popular because the creationists are finally feeling welcome somewhere. Stuff just popping into existence for seemingly no reason? No evidence or even just vaguely coherent argument ever for any claim made? Positively disastrous for wider society? It's a perfect match!

Apparently Duolingo of all places now offers chess classes, and considering their recent "AI is a great teacher" philosophy and what I've seen LLMs produce in terms of games we might just witness the dawn of the next evolutionary step of chess

*Still* offended by the concept of a four letter word

Sie bereiten das Verbot der demokratischen Partei vor. Da bin ich mir mittlerweile sehr sicher.

y'all not talking about this found evidence because it doesn't fit your leftist narrative

D- does the FBI director know that facilities, in most cases, are non-moving objects?

People act like it's either chaste D&D/TTRPG games or we're being lewd at the table, nothing in-between there is a massive gulf of creative expression that lies between total prudishness and making it creepy, like a giant spectrum of options that "all or nothing" attitude towards sex is repression

YOU try doctoring crime scene evidence in a hurry with only the items you have on you and let's see how good of a job you do, alright?

They're not getting facts wrong, they're lying

non autistic people are like "maybe you shouldnt make train jokes about autistic people" but all the autistic people I know are like "i love this train post toot toot"

related, this is a real problem beyond me just looking at the fake sky for entertainment:

i think that people should watch late night talk shows instead of reading books

Hi, if you have the privilege of traveling and attending film festivals and you're spending your free time posting spoilers online for movies that aren't even in the theater yet, you're an asshole. Accessibility is so important but not posting spoilers on the internet for clout is cool. #filmsky

You know, this does add to the drama of BioShock

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

An overwhelmingly common reason people give for enjoying this type of work IS ITS SEPARATION FROM REALITY. People are ENJOYING A FANTASY, not planning their weekend. This deserves protection.

So that's the big idea anyway? In that completely bonkers world where the Rapture happens during people's lifetime, does everyone just drop dead? Get Thanos snapped from existence? Does the ground open and devour all of us alive? How exactly do we *get* to the judgement part of Judgement Day?

I feel like this is underestimating autistics

I support the status quo of women are too weak to be Space Marines but are strong enough to become Custodian Guard who are significantly stronger than Space Marines because it is the funniest possible stance to have.

Here comes a new challenger

We can't just have a Rapture right now, do you have any idea how many people still have their scheduled twelve thousand years of Purgatory to finish first?

Learning at 34 that there are people who think the Rapture would be an actual event and not a mythical theoretical happening at the end of times long after the universe has died, if that, is *bizarre*, I'm telling you

Would be about as deserved as that one time they tried awarding it to the lead negotiators in the Vietnam war and only the US representative accepted it

I'm still here, butches! (My phone made me type that, but I decided to roll with it)

I wish people understood how little they understand Christianity

HORSE GAME And not "make a cheap, low-effort toy for the girls, and remember to make it pink" either!

Considering the degree to which Christianity is perceived through the words of bad faith actors, maybe I should talk more about it after all. Shed at least a tiny light on it from a perspective that isn't all steeped in cult ideology

The rapture isn't coming. At least, not like this. The crows know.

Cult members will consistently be the most secure people in their ability to quote the Bible (rivalled only by theologians) while simultaneously having next to no understanding of it because they were deliberately denied the skills and context to critically engage with the Bible as a text.

Oh, and one of my favorite bits about a potential Rapture? There's this bit in the Bible about how many people could enter Paradise that Jehovah's Witnesses take literally. Theologians have long since agreed that the number must've seemed impossibly large to its authors however, implying "everyone".

Fuck rapture theology. It's not harmless. It's not quirky or fun. Its not even Biblical. It's an abdication of responsibility for the world around you, fuelled by fantasies of superiority when compared to your neighbour. Its white supremacy. It's traumatising, it ruins lives. It deserves to burn

I think one of the most upsetting experiences I've ever had was when just once I got pulled into Mormons' idea of mass (don't ask me how it got to that, it was a bit of a wild ride), things didn't seem too bad, and then all of a sudden it was Bible time. "Read this bit, think about what it means."

When a bunch of guys choose to write down an oral tradition in their own words and with their own agenda several centuries after the fact, take it with a grain of salt. When a guy decides to make up a preposterous prophecy about the future, toss the salt out the window and get something stronger

The only good things to come of Revelations are comedy bits and Darksiders

All the regular Christians skimming through the Revelations: "What the fuck, how did this make it into canon? Who left this in? Why? This is outrageous!" Fundamentalists: "THE RAPTURE IS NIGH"

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks
