The only correct answer to this question. I'll also accept giving someone a disgusted-confused expression and walking away

my vision of masculinity is enacting public policy for the greater good, maintaining longstanding traditions of civic virtue and communal justice, a little social democracy as a treat, and not having people ask me this question.

YES!… HAHAHA… YES!

The X-Wing series is an obvious choice. Books 2 and 3 aren't even that good, so a faithful / constructive adaptation has a low floor, high ceiling

aside from my obvious choice - a high budget Discworld adaptation done by people who actually understood it - I need a Star Wars TV series based on Wraith Squadron yub yub, Commander

this Masculinity Discourse reads as a lot of well-intentioned people trying to read past people who are practically making text that they think identities they don't belong to shouldn't exist and I think that those assertions are bad, both in means and ends

a venn diagram of Platner supporters and left-leaning misogynists, but it's just a circle.

If Graham Platner was a sitting senator today you'd be calling on him to resign. And then he'd announce he's changing parties.

If you're friends with someone who denies or excuses today's Platner news, you shouldn't be

"everyone's abused a woman at some point in their life :)" WHOLE fuckin lot of self reporting going on from Leftist White Men today lol

In retrospect it shouldn't be surprising that they don't care he's an abusive piece of shit, they didn't care that he was a nazi either

my stance has remained unchanged for 7 months

got my cat an RC mouse that kinda sounds like a squirrel chirping when its motor is going Victorian or ancient Egyptian cats couldn't have imagined the psyops their descendants would have to endure

well I'm sure *this* latest news is the last bad thing that will come out about the rape enthusiastic serial liar SS tattoo-having failson cheat.

Making me break out the fuckin sign

The civilized European, here to educate the savage Americans

Did you know it’s possible to support zero provincialist ethnonationalist blood and soil ideologies? You can pick zero! You don’t have to pick any!!!

Sorry, but if leftism can’t shake the ‘hates America’ label, then it will always be marginal.

im out of Adderall until Friday so, that's cool. didn't need to use my brain for the rest of this week anyways.

Thomas Massie is not beating the allegations.

a substantial chunk of this website would insist FDR couldn’t be trusted because he was a millionaire. i would like to suggest this is not a heuristic for determining whether someone would support policies to empower workers and the downtrodden.

I'd say it's noticeable how NIMBY-coded the opposition is, but then again NIMBY seems to be the default state for humanity.

so, lol, this guy can't tell an F-15 from an F-14/F-4/MiG, but fuckin Kuwaiti Wedge Antilles getting 3/5 of an Ace in one fight (can you call it a fight if it was friendly fire?), against a plane that's never been knocked down by an enemy a2a

Sorkin gets a lot of hate on here for imperfect praxis, but his work is consistently optimistic and idealistic about how we can do better as a society, and I think that's valuable

Maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am, but I don't get the hype for an AOC presidential run. It feels massively out of touch with voters, to me. I can't even see her winning the primary, let alone having anything close to appeal w/ general voters. I think even an AOC VP ticket is going to be a poison pill.

Remember: his supporters said Kamala Harris’s career as a prosecutor was disqualifying.

what a fresh reminder of how completely insane this guy is.

Like what if it’s not that burrito taxi exponsive as much as that burrito taxi is an old treat and we need fancy new treats and we don’t like the ones Anthropic and OAI are bringing us so we want something else fancy, but nobody can put together capital to do new fancy treats

Vibecession theory: its interest rates preventing there from being new commercial ventures (other than AI) to distract and entrance people

LFG, I am absolutely for the Boy with the Nazi Tattoo having bad days.

Yes I'm sure the company with the second largest market cap, and the 8th highest revenue IN THE WORLD is 'running out of money'.

calling web scraping a human rights abuse primarily convinces me that human rights abuses are no longer taken seriously

SCREAMING

It's pretty maddening that a guy with his background decided to jump into a critical Senate race, and I think it shows a profound lack of judgment on his part. He's an adult.

In fairness, I did this because I had the realization that my windows install was 7 years old, and included going: W10 > W11 (on release day) > W10 (same day downgrade) > W11 (3 years later)

last night, of my own free will, I decided to aim a kamikaze attack at 'tomorrow-me' (which is now today-me) by reformatting my c drive and reinstalling windows, then lying down to go to bed while it installed. forgot all about that when I sat down at my computer today

Surely the dog will not sink its teeth into my groin the second I look away, right?

I'm not retweeting it in this context as an attack on Platner. I do despise Platner and I think his candidacy is a massive harm to Jewish voters in particular and our social fabric as a whole, but I don't give a shit about these texts. I just think he's someone who has growing up to do

"I'm an anarcho-communist. My system has never failed because it has never been implemented." Chef's kiss of a comment

the guys doing the cutscenes for this game absolutely understood the assignment

you also have to grapple honestly with what they were trying to protect, because the guild system wasn’t exactly a model of equitability

Spectre was meh and I forgot to ever watch No Time to Die, so I forgot until this week that I'm a 007 fan

I forgot we let Madonna do one but I always enjoy it too

There have been a lot of good Bond themes, but if asked which one is the all time best, the answer is Skyfall

Fucking discord hitting me with an uncalled-for jump scare
