Only on small scales. That's literally the difference between a bulldozer plowing a street and a guy with a shovel. That and a malignant narcissist like Trump would never allow anyone into his orbit that could compete with him. If Vance was a strong leader, he wouldn't be here in the first place.

Because Trump is not an ideological leader for any of the factions attached to him. He's just a giant bulldozer powered by malignant narcissism that 5 other far right factions have been using to demolish whatever/whoever they like. Vance is no bulldozer. At best he's a plastic snow shovel.

kind of seems like the people saying data center energy use is overstated were full of shit

This idea was Ian Malcolm's ENTIRE PERSONALITY in Jurassic Park (the book, not so much the movie).

And so the irony comes full circle: The Israelis are doing pogroms now.

Try to keep up! It's really quite simple: Charlie Kirk was allowed to talk about you in a way that you are not allowed to talk about Charlie Kirk. If you try it, you will be banned, maybe fired, and blacklisted from future employment. If he does it, he gets told he's doing politics the right way.

Stop telling people not to celebrate when evil people die

I was 8, and this was fucking terrifying.

So the mom of the first kid in 12 years to be expelled for punching faculty members asks my wife, with a straight face, if she was raised by white people because she has a degree and speaks clearly. And now I have to spend the entire weekend keeping her from crashing out.

Yall understand that the US military doesn't have the soldiers, the infrastructure, the ships or the AMMUNITION to fight a war in Greenland AND in lran at the same time? Like, I get that we're used to thinking the military is invincible, but if he tries this now, we WILL get our asses kicked.

Calling Sinners "anti-white" is insane when the only white people in the movie are either (1) Klansmen or (2) Vampires. If you see Klansmen getting killed in a movie and your takeaway is, "Damn, Black people just hate US!" YOU are the problem (and the racist).

Hentai bas been a distinct genre probably for longer than America has been a country.

Seen tacked to a community board on my walk

That's one way of putting it. Another way would be that the NYPD is deliberately breaking the law because they are well aware that no one in the country has the firepower to stop them.

Here's the thing: I can waste 45 minutes shuffling search terms trying to find a reddit for the thread for the EXACT technical problem I'm having OR I can spend 45 seconds asking DeepSeek to find that thread, read it, and try the solution. Don't blame me. Blame google for sucking.

HELLO PARTY PEOPLE! I am back with another episode of "Put Down the AI and Read a Fucking Book" I present to you: **Kin by Tayari Jones is SO FUCKING GAY/GOOD!!!!!!; or, This Book is a Beautiful Homage to All the Shapes Black Women's Friendships Take** earrings and paintings by Crystal Galindo 📚💙

To be fair, nobody expects sysadmins IN GENERAL to know how to solder. It's like finding out the commandant of of the navy knows how to disarm landmines. OTOH, if the commandant looked like THIS, it wouldn't surprise all that much.

Wife just told me this one: What’s the difference between Iran and Vietnam? Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

*COVID destroys economy* "THANK YOU ESSENTIAL WORKERS! WE LOVE YOU!" *COVID gets better* "We're switching to AI. You're all fired." *AI tanks company* "Shit. Well, at least our stock prices are..." * trump tanks stock market * "Oh well, at least we still have Qatar..." * Trump tanks Qatar *

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

I cannot stress enough that the biggest power structure behind Israel isnt jews, its white republican evangelicals who want the apocalypse I am not even exaggerating

Bro: "See, that's the attitude that got Trump reelected! This is so stupid! We have a moral obligation to support any candidate that can erode MAGA's political power no matter how you feel about them!" Me: "Uh huh... who did YOU vote for in 2024?" Bro: "Nobody. I'm from Finland."

When did your obsession with hot, toxic women begin?

Shit on my mind and it's heavy. Tell you in pieces cuz it's way too heavy...

This has been one of my favorite stories since at least 3rd grade.

i have been fascinated by the rollout of the macbook neo and how it seems aimed like a dagger at the cheap windows/chromebook market. it is at once the most obvious thing in the world — let's build a mac around one of these phone chips — and potentially very disruptive

“I wanna see Black people happy when I open my phone”

Average Bsky poster: "We must inaugurate a Second Reconstruction with blood and fire." Average Democratic politician: "We are in a war for the Republic, which is why I propose a 23.7% tax cut." Average liberal columnist: "For too long the transgenders have blocked research into the racial IQ gap."

"Has your password been leaked to the dark web? Enter your password in our search tool to find out!"

And it's holding ALL of is back. Esp in our own communities, women have always been leaders, organizers, creators. Trying to get anything done without them is like a dogsled without a driver.

I'd say that's a good thing at the end of the day. I mean, slave/gladiator death matches are probably a lot more exciting than professional boxing, but we're definitely better off without it.

Arthritis.

They already know the worst thing they can do to me is show me footage (not AI or actors, I can tell) of poor/homeless people being forced to receive food shelter and warm clothing they obviously don't deserve, paid for by my hard-earned tax dollars. 60 to 80 hours of that would probably break me.

we found out one of the anchors of the labor movement was an unrepentant rapist who attacked an American icon repeatedly and She felt she couldn’t say shit FOR SIXTY YEARS Because of racism Delores Huerta is tougher than you And she kept this longer than I have been ALIVE We don’t know shit

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

HEY SEXY LADIES IT WAS NICE TO KNOW YOU BUT I GOTTA MOVE Oooooooooo

Marvel Star Trek Predator Because there's SO MUCH of it out there it legit doesn't matter that most of it sucks. Star Wars would get an honorable mention except they peaked in Empire Strikes Back and it's been mostly downhill ever since.

Afroman. A Nelson Mandela just for us. Goofy people who dance with Mary Jane. Our political prisoner who sacrificed for us!

I shall inform the Queen at once!

Education was never the solution. Racism isn't the result of mere ignorance, it's am actual agenda with a tangible endgame. I want us to put to bed, once and for all, this idea that "reasoned debate" is the highest form of political discourse just a bunch of white slave owners learned how to spell.

Speaking as an IT guy who just spent 2 hours trying to figure out a coworkers toothbrush kept trying to portscan our entire network:

So does Trump, but yall still voted for him.

"Just pay your rent" say the people who say institutional racism no longer exists even as redlining continues, schools are funded by property taxes, purported "crime free ordinances" let people be evicted for "changing the character of a neighborhood," and public assistance continues to be defunded.
