This whole thing makes me want to try to get my game dev friends to make a true to life Garage Renovation simulator aimed entirely at Dudes. Let me design an entire new electrical system that is entirely realistic so I can figure out how circuits and solar panels and battery systems work for real.

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

We are the angels when we choose to be

Would watch perhaps four entire seasons of Space Plumbers where it's just a couple of lads fixing various toilets in space.

Honestly C. S. Lewis really oversold Turkish delight and I genuinely think that's my biggest gripe with him.

The astronauts sholde recorde a bunch of Mountain Goats songes while thei are up ther and release them as an EP titled The Moontain Goats. Thanke you Ich will be heere all weeke.

tuned in to listen to astronauts fix a toilet in space and i just think that's neat

This post rules BUT "decay exists as an extant form of life" annoys me because I'm an insufferable pedant.

Unfortunately, the last 36 hours of no power have done nothing except confirm my previous biases that disaster preparedness is a Cool, Fun, and Useful thing to do. Shoutout to @iwriteok.bsky.social and @margaret.bsky.social for their advice because the Jackery solar generator rules.

Excited to do a product review of my big Jackery power bank actually. Unable to pull a charge on my 200w panel for now but not tremendously worried. Desperately jonesing for a Rimworld playthrough now.

Bad thing: big tree took down power lines in my back yard and the live wire melted a hole in my neighbor's patio two feet from my garage. Good thing: Margaret Killjoy is right, nobody is happier than a prepper who has the thing you need, shout out jackery batteries for keeping my fridge cold

i'm glad i'm not a lawyer so i don't have to pretend banning child torture and speech are in any way related

I hope that people on here can conjure as much energy for the fact that Israel has 'legalized' arbitrary military 'court' death sentences for stone-throwing Palestinian children as they can for indignation at hearing the words "Free Palestine." I truly do.

sorry i know it's supposed to be a scandal but there is literally nothing you could do that is more embarrassing than being married to that woman

still on step one then

A lot of these guys are going to experience psychological schisms in the next 18 months. I hope it hurts.

It is really, really funny that the people who run this website and the people who use this website actively and publicly despise one another.

That's crazy man have you tried having a friend

honestly, this was the median opinion among protestors at no kings, and it's hard to tell if that's getting through to the establishment

Oh wow, I always wanted to look like I'm about to bewitch a British boy with middling candy

we talked with ed in this episode about how openai has not committed to any deals and that it would ultimately be revealed and collapse. i believed was true i didn’t think it would materialize less than 3 days later!

This. Amazing stuff all around. Books, crafts, music, mental peace, a boom in soul-feeding things.

We are in the midst of an industrial revolution based almost entirely on solar and battery tech. If there's any single reason to have hope for global sustainability it's shit like this. Solar and battery tech is becoming so affordable that it's saving lives at scale by offering affordable cooling.

I don’t think everyone understands that it felt like being occupied by an outside army. Because it was like that.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

Insane feed pull tbh

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

I don't think it was QUITE as palpably bloodthirsty as it was last year, but the administration has really been trying to hide the ghouls from the public eye. And that anger's definitely still there. Just needs a good gust of wind.

No Kings Cleveland was (I think?) bigger than the last one in October or whenever, which is saying a lot given that it was 30 and snowing despite the sunshine. It was More Cringe, but also WILDLY more effective, every speaker directed folks to mutual aid and whistle network sign-ups.

see you there

What's wild is this is straight out of Trump's playbook lol. Like he would absolutely demand that if he was in charge of Iran lmfao.

that's your whole life, Greg. your existence boiled down to being a useful fascist prop for roughly a summer before being unpersoned.

remember when we refused to let the Ukrainians fire ATACMS over the border because destroying Russian aviation on the tarmac would be so humiliating for them it would risk nuclear war?

I think we gotta ban algorithmic content.

It sucks that we're in an era with genuinely miraculous technological breakthroughs and the scientific community has to beg for us to believe they're Good.

It's a fuckin weird time to be alive right now, man.

Just wanna point out that this exact sentiment is what made Steve Bannon harness GamerGate subculture to weaponize outrage among young men.

The one notable difference is that I wanna point out that none of this is *good* for anyone. Like, the hype around AI being very good at finding vulns is probably accurate, but none of these people are saying things will be Good. Or Fun. Or like... Working.

under trump 1 i came to appreciate why nixon made hunter thompson insane with rage. under trump 2 i'm coming to terms with what it must have been like when reagan was sundowning on tv

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

Live look at the 82nd airborne arguing with the JCS for a combat jump onto Kharg

Donie O'Sullivan might be one of the best live-interviewing and investigating journalists currently working. He just relentlessly walks directly into the gatherings of the worst people on earth and earnestly asks them "Hey man what the fuck is your deal" with zero condescension or reservation.

the terms “very seriously injured/ill” (VSI) and “seriously injured” (SI) mean very specific things within DoD: - VSI: death is more likely than not to occur within 72 hours - SI: death is possible but not likely within 72 hours; injury is permanent, life-altering, or need extended hospitalization

You guys ever start going down a rabbit hole?

Look I'm not a big "Can you imagine if this happened under Obama" but Jesus Christ can you fucking imagine?

I don't know how "Yelp For Landlords" never took off but man talk about a million dollar business. Literally everyone on this site would pay $5 bucks a month for that shit.
