if you were in a position to, say, obstruct an authoritarian agenda beurocratically in a system designed to be ground to a halt by a determined minority, you could do some real damage if you wanted to

and just imagine what someone could do if they were like, a senator or something

"Everyone is 12" was too generous, everyone is actually 5 years old.

Did you only ask people aged exclusively 14 and 35 to vote?

a person using the term "vibecession" is an immediate sign everything else they're saying can be safely ignored

years ago he was the subject of ridicule but now retroachievements has turned everyone into him.....

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

The plastering of IP over what are intrinsically very violent game types is so dissonant to me. I still get this weird off-put feeling when I see valorant footage and all these cool quirky characters blow each others brains out against the walls. It's like every '2000s edgy comic' but not self aware

The next Zelda game could also stand to have a plot where events occur or at least real characters. But I have the sinking feeling it will actually be BotW 3 and be even worse than its predecessors. It'll be sad if real Zelda games died with fucking Skyward Sword of all games lol.

Imaigne if the next Zelda game was a Zelda game

i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)

damn, this media's about trauma??? for real??? wait, trauma, like the emotional response??? and there's media about it???

BREAKING: study shows men love having young ladies around, but men do not like it when mom, wife, or teacher tells them what to do

Hey I noticed you said you didn't like a cartoon with a primary audience of 12-14 year olds It's also got a slightly older secondary market of 14-18 year olds have you ever considered that

Im in a problematic age gap relationship where we're both 36 years old but she watches The Amazing Digital Circus

repeated 'biggest protest in american history' efforts? doesn't budge 'em. possibly not getting to their gate in time for their flight? they will give you anything.

you consider the few things that have pushed these guys into action, and the many things that haven't, and increasingly coming to the conclusion that no matter what the issue you care about is, you need to jam up airports

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

This is why the democrats are almost as unpopular as Trump

Tbh IDK why I even still play fighting games even though over a decade of playing them has still resulted in me being absolute dogshit at all of them, it is probably not worth continuing to play them.

"Where are all the campus protestors?" ask the grinning ghouls who cheered on the brutal suppression of campus protests

becoming immune from outrage when encountering weapons-grade takes by slowly teaching myself how not to read

PSA: It is not true that "transgender" is abbreviated as "tora" in Japanese. The abbreviation of transgender (トランスジェンダー) is トランス ("toransu"). Note: I'm a transgender & nonbinary native Japanese citizen. I'm a EN/JP localizer & LGBTQ+ inclusive language advisor in both languages. More info below↓

An extremely funny thing about retro rereleases that use unlicensed emulators is that you are basically committing the exact same crime (using software outside of the terms of its license) that has you so scared of downloading roms in the first place but now someone has monetized it.

Guy who voted for Geogre Bush twice writing in a place called The Liberal Gazette: As we approach 2028, Democrats should be doing unpopular things that make them look stupid

Do you ever just talk about something and that ends with an argument that gives you a headache and you go "well OK I guess I can never talk about this thing here lol".

My favorite part of any game's patch note day is people dooming before they can even play the game.

"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.

If you find yourself getting a little too freaked out about nukes, which fwiw I doubt will happen, turn off bluesky and go do other things you like. Take a day off posting. If something Big happens, you'll find out anyway - you don't need to spend the day in an anxiety feedback loop.

underrated part of his chart is that it lists Polymarket and Dave Portnoy as politically neutral

I think it's very disrespectful to blame the outage today on the bsky team doing vibe-coding, this is far from the only platform experiencing outages today. The Iranian military might've worked very hard to hit another AWS server, and we shouldn't be attributing human ingenuity to AI.

"Zoomer brainrot" this, "zoomer brainrot" that. Have you seen boomer brainrot content on Facebook? I actually think that stuff's a lot more concerning.

They used to get reported as suicides or normal criminals or "gang members," now they mostly don't get reported at all

It's a hard fact to accept when people ask "where are the uprisings," but the truth is people are constantly attempting them and getting crushed. Every day more people realize this state will never let them live and try to organize, and every day another one of them gets killed or jailed.

In reality if the whole country woke up tomorrow and decided to kickstart an American Revolution a lot of people you personally know and love would just disappear from the internet and you’d never hear from them again

Don’t get me wrong, a lot of Americans are also selfish and lazy… they don’t care about the state of the country as long as they can get beer and burgers and Netflix and football But I also think there’s a false perception on here that civil unrest would be fine and your online friends wouldn’t die

few years back me and my friends went to the zoo and pointed at every single animal we came across going "i think thats the biggest animal ever." pissed off our nerd friend so much
