"democratic socialism" is a fake pro-establishment socialism. the commitment to protecting the system is so strong that the "democratic socialist" will do it at the expense of their own reputation, even if the supposed threat to power is as harmless as a snowball

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

this is like if rockstar games humor actually had some balls

Incredible things are happening in Madrid.

if you'll excuse me i have an appointment with Dr. Pepper and his smokeshow secretary Zero Sugar

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

"oh but he's evil and terrorises the countryside" yeah but have you considered looking at this and shutting the fuck up

i don't think you should make "drop and run" metal cylinders even for laughs because i work in e-waste recycling and if i find something in the waste stream that says "drop and run" i don't want to have to carefully consider whether it means it or not

Cay as some kind of gay horse for the new year

Liberals to the left: how dare you not vote for the one we chose. Liberals to the right: how can we appeal to you more?

someone with unironic "people voted wrong, kamela should dissolve the people and elect another" brain tried multiple times to get me brigaded and all that happened is i got multiple people clicking likes on my posts and one polite fence sitter

Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev

MY AAA GIRLFRIEND: C’mere baby. I want you. *time stops* *VFX outline shimmers around her yellow underwear* ME, THINKING: I think she wants something, but what? *2 seconds later* ME, THINKING: Her underwear seems important. *2 seconds later* ME, THINKING: I bet I can interact with her underwear.

Boy it sure as hell is

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Someone a decade+ younger than I asked me if I saw the Matrix in theaters and how cool that must have been

im sorry, kinda

the Konami Python 2 will always be the peak of mid-2000s arcadejank to me imagine being an arcade tech back then, and you finally receive the kit to upgrade your cab from DDR SuperNOVA to SuperNOVA 2, so you open the case to get at the disc drive, and you're met face-to-face with this:

it's cool that yoon suk yeol is going to die in prison

FEAR wasn't booting without tons of work on Windows, but is booting instantly on my version of Linux, proving once more that Windows has long lost the mandate of heaven, if it ever had it

Let’s go

Someone's gotta take the mic away from this former Bethesda dev

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger (2001) Episode 13

Serial Experiments Lain is a cautionary, deeply political story about how cool the Sharp X68000 looked, and what would happen if computers kept looking like that.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

It's like, if I went to McDonald's and said "1 billion burgers please" and instead of going "sir, we can't sell 1 billion burgers, that slogan is based off of decades of customers across the globe" they said "holy shit we're gonna be so rich" and now nobody gets any burgers.

Remember, you can lock onto your opponents by pressing the R1 button. Try locking onto this post now. Ok. Well done. That's all I can teach you. I hear there are other posters that can teach you more advanced techniques out there, but you'll have to find them yourself. Good luck!

It's real!

Wiz update: it's started doing this when I turn the switch on for 5-10 seconds before fading to "warm white" the way I set it to

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

This lightbulb emits light I would describe as "malign." I am struggling to figure out how exactly it produces light that is this disfavorable in this many dimensions while still being perceptually "white." It's a lightbulb where you turn it on and go "ugh" and turn it back off

i am sure the light this thing is putting out meets some kind of spec somewhere but the "2700K" light this thing is putting out is spatially imhomogenous in brightness, color temperature, color rendering, AND it's got perceptible flicker to it. Motion leaves frozen afterimages instead of a blur
