man, I did not realize how much of a nightmare it would be to try to get windows to properly output 5.1 surround sound

So we can all agree that the fighting games are at least partially a metaphor for lesbian sex right?

i generally love the kid episodes in star trek generally speaking but watching through ds9 Jake and Sisko's relationship is just so refreshing after tng was just the Worf is a bad dad show

guy who thinks that when people talk about beans on toast that they mean torta

One of the funnest things @devi.bsky.social and I did in Hades Calculus, I think, is that we wrote a story where the cis femme is the one who goes into combat in defense of a transfem butch, swearing herself to the butch as a sort of knight/soldier, rather than the other way around.

another all timer i like to reference is this one from the official doom account

i am going to [REDACTED] sam altman and dario amadei

I AM ALWAYS SAYING THAT BRITISH WOMEN HAD TO FIGHT TO GET THE RIGHT TO USE PUBLIC BATHROOMS AT ALL DURING THE VICTORIAN ERA BC MALE ONLY URINALS FORCED WOMEN TO STAY AT HOME MORE FREQUENTLY AND SO FEMALE ONLY BATHROOMS WERE THE COMPROMISE BC OF VICTORIAN MORALITY

been playing through watchdogs 2014 and it's such a bizarre and fascinating window into the pre gamergate culture

DID YOU KNOW IF YOU FIND A HORSESHOE CRAB THATS BEEN TAGGED BY THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AND SUBMIT THE LOCATION YOU SAW IT USING THE FORM ON FWS DOT GOV SLASH CRABTAG THEY SEND YOU A BEAUTIFUL CRAB PIN

it's so crazy to me that seemingly no car manufacturer can figure out phone bluetooth

Join Akron DSA in calling on Ohio's Senators to reinstate TPS through the passage of S. 4814!

it's so crazy to me how many customers at work I talk to that just don't have an email address and dont use computers or smart phones at all. just a completely different world they must live in

also you can still rip CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. if you're anxious about downloading things from the Internet you can just borrow movies and shows from your friends or the library

been back to watching deep space 9 lately and it's so good holy moly

One of the things about modern transmisogyny is that it gave right-wing regimes an avenue through which they institutionally recuperate feminism while actively eroding the rights of women and queer people, openly trialing new anti-gay marriage arguments and reifying womanhood as reproductive.

omg at this rate by tomorrow NYTimes will be pronouncing "Graham Platner was doing sexual assault the right way" 🫠

will anything bad happen to me if I switch to a tacos only diet?

oh god oh fuck my bad everyone uhhhgh within the next decade we're saved for sure

There is a good chance that if this had happened to me in this story, I would have died. www.thedrive.com/news/how-flo...

this was going around tumblr, and people were asking if this image and the thing on the website are the same, and yes they are the same, the version on the website is just linkable, and this image is something i typed up in obsidian which is why it looks like that

the ongoing defense of Platner tells me that plenty of men on the left hate women more than they love their supposed principles

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.

the thing they don't tell you when they say a car handles like a boat is that some boats are fuckin awesome to drive

The part about covering your arse when you’re found out is useful as a reference for Farage’s response too… lawyer up, deny everything, flood the zone with accusations and counterattacks… Very Farage-y. God I hope it’s game over for that nasty, racist crook.

In one chapter of his book entitled 'The Art of the Bribe', Nigel Farage donor and convicted fraudster George Cottrell describes how politicians can be bought www.ft.com/content/7a0f...

it's the last day you can get the Power of Pride bundle, so scoop it up if you haven't! itch.io/b/3682/the-p... Thank you so much to everyone in @powerofpridebundle.bsky.social for letting me do the art for this thing. I loved working on this bundle so much 😭 🩷🏳️‍🌈

It's been over a year... But my friend saw him in a shop and bought him for me! I have acquired the snail!!!

okay so obviously FIFA corruption is kinda table stakes. My question now is: how much blatantly naked corruption could Trump bring to the FIA. Like can we get Cadillac allowed to race with nitrous tanks at COTA or something

call me George the way I'm curious

'Don't make egg jokes about a cis person' is crazy. If a person is cis then why would it matter, they're not going to transition due to peer pressure--that's TERF shit, you might as well trot out something about ROGD.

idk it's a bit of a recurring subject of frustration for me that when I discuss the issues with the trans healthcare system I've been through, inevitably people start talking about capitalist incentive structures in the replies like. This bullshit was provided by the government of Norway.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

dude how the fuck are youtubers supposed to afford tungsten cubes in this economy... this sucks

they call me the white John Henry of sending emails

really hate how patriarchy is so ingrained in the work place that literally every workplace sensitivity training I've taken has all the scenarios take place from a cishet white man's perspective or assumes that the viewer is a cishet white man

just when I thought I've seen the dog do all the tricks he pulls out a new chess piece never to be seen on the board

I do hope LeBron goes to Golden State and it's a bunch of old guys running around saying things like "watch this young blood" while hitting a step back 3 and losing by 12 to, like, the Nets.

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

🔥 The Los Angeles Dodgers ownership group has DIVESTED from GEO Group, the private prison company running ICE detention facilities. No one should be profiting from ICE detention camps. #DIVEST #$GEO www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

"It was inevitable" "Been saying this for years" "I'm all digital anyway" Please leave. This will mean fewer options for consumers, more control for publishers, and a huge part of gaming culture vanishing just like that You can still buy physical movies. You will not be able to buy physical games

The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted over a year. White America fails to appreciate that this is the level of commitment required to bring about change.

it's so crazy to me how often healthcare providers will abuse people's mistrust in health insurance companies to ratfuck patients out of money. just spout deliberate lies and bullshit to extract another dollar from some poor schmuck who dared to put trust in the people providing him healthcare
