Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

If you ever think you're having a hard day, at least you're not in charge of the Russian Central Bank. Where whatever you do, you are almost certainly on a path to a gulag.

The line «I'm Utah, I got multiple bitches,» is still one of the funniest rap lines I've ever heard to this day. (Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It)

Here's what I mean when I say the UK is a window into the future of the US, a decade of flatline "labor productivity growth" in order to return to the mean determined by capital intensity.

I just don't understand how everyone can know that global warming will destroy property values in Florida/South Texas in the next 30 to 50 years and yet property there can still go for over a million dollars🤔

lol

Jay helped me give this ghost decoration I got at IKEA a temporary home, he'll get a more permanent place to haunt by Halloween

The House of Mirth (2000) was recommended after my earlier posts. It's quite a bit different from Blue Jasmine etc, but I can see how it's in the same vein. I'm quite enjoying it. This scene cracked it up, and the drama of who she'll choose and how she'll settle her debts is interesting, I confess.

All this has led me to wonder, is the archetype of the socialite dead? Has the influencer totally replaced the socialite? Or does the young socialite still exist? Just in society so high, it is out of our reach and we hardly even make films about it anymore.

For some reason I decided to rewatch Blue Jasmine (2013) today. I honestly don't know what appeals to me about the archetype of films about rich socialites. I also love The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and Legally Blonde (2001). I guess the signs of not being straight were always evident.

Late-stage capitalism is needing to pay for the neoliberal explanation as to why you're poor. This is the only story on CNN's homepage right now that is marked for subscribers.

Perhaps they are more like fundamentalist Muslims than they think, as I find little actual space between “USA! USA!” and “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!”. What is the world coming to?

I also wonder why right-wingers have the impulse to scream “USA! USA!” during assassination attempts. I can't help but find it funny though it's dreadfully serious. Indeed…this does only happen in the USA (USA!). Indeed…your politics are the reason why. What kind of relief does screaming USA give?

Japanese idiom of the day: 目糞鼻糞を笑う。 (Me-kuso hana-kuso o warau.) Lit. The shit in the eye laughs at the shit in the nose. ("Shit" could be understood as "mucus" or "booger".) This is an idiomatic way to get across much the same meaning as "the pot called the kettle black".

I don't usually post about current events anymore but that Charlie Kirk died of gun violence literally while he was doing one of his ridiculous “Prove Me Wrong” campus events and dodging a question about gun violence is the most American politics thing to ever happen.

Rust types look really ugly when you write them out, I hate the reuse of the for token. E.g.: type RangeClbk<'a> = &'a dyn for <'b> Fn(&'b usize) -> bool;

everyone thinks they're the first to consider whether 4chan/8chan is run by Mossad/the CIA/the FSB/the PSIA lol

It's possible you may find some proof 4chan's funding isn't as it states publicly, but I doubt it as channers have tons of their own conspiracy theories about it, you'll likely just add more noise to the pile. If dark money props it up, the trail is very well hidden.

Because I was a long time chan user, and if I saw a Turing test on a board I was a user of, I would indeed post a fail on purpose to mock the OP. Now, my behavior is perhaps peculiar, but given I know for sure I would do this, I assume other channers would have done so too with no prior agreement.

One should hope human users have the common sense to understand that as so little identity information (PII) is needed to post, that 4chan is now outdated technology doomed to be forevermore overrun by bots. It cannot be otherwise with LLM's existing so ubiquitously on even basic consumer hardware.

Let me expand a bit on this answer. While in the past it was just «schizoposting» to say that either the majority or a large minority of posts on anonymous BBS's like 4chan were written by shills or bots, with the emergence of large language models, it is now a near certainty that this is the case.

i sure would write weird comments on drugs lol

Dumb tip for avoiding spam calls. Try to get a phone number that is in an area code completely across the country from where you live. For example, I kept the number that I got when I was in LA because spam callers will often try to make it look like they're calling from the same area code "as you".

This is fucking horrifying for some reason and since I had to see it you have to see it too.

When I saw this screen a few days ago, I said, oh Jesus Christ, holy fuck, I thought I installed malware. 😂 Seeing it in my screenshots again was funny. PortProton may have gone a little overboard with the gamercore graphics, at least as far as the comfort level of Linux users is concerned.

Wow, even in Japan they got knockoffs of Nintendogs.

These examples of how to write the character 台 in calligraphy start out normal and then they hit you with the squiggles. 😂😇🖋️

Both of these flowers came from the same seeds. Genetics isn't everything.😊

Does this little Sierra Entertainment mascot guy have a name?

I'm 31 and just saw somebody on YouTube around my age explain what radio is for his "younger audience". Cars still have radios. I can't imagine anybody, even a 12-year-old, not knowing what the concept of radio is. I am glad that I am not this cringe yet.

I wonder if I would get fewer spam calls if I had an app that would allow me to play fax machine noises in the ear of spam callers.🤔

PCem is the best virtualization program I've used for Windows 98. I show working 3D Voodoo graphics via one of the screensavers in Windows 98 Plus!, then I play a game I had as a kid, Contraptions, which doesn't work in DOSBox (ime), but works perfectly in PCem v17. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qUG...

Did anyone else think that jelly actually came from jellyfish as a kid because of Spongebob?

i fucking love @kde.org is there anything it can't do? i was struggling w/`info` CLI which uses Emacs keybinds I find unfamiliar and then i thought, i wonder if i can just read this manual in KDE's help program and i can! when ppl say it's bloated that is a euphemism for useful/featureful

it bothers me that when it came time to make a taco/TexMex themed version of this game, Papa's Pizzeria, instead of calling it the logical thing, Papa's Taquería, which is a WORD in Spanish, esp. LaM Spanish, they went for…«Papa's Taco Mía» DESPITE having had a "Burgeria" and "Cheeseria"…NOT WORDS

oh dear God i looked at my pstree recently, not having before been a Steam user, and all of the square is a single instance of Steam on Arch GNU/Linux let's see if i can sum up what's going on here in next post as it's too long for this one

You can tell if somebody is European or elsewise pretentious, (guilty as charged,) if they pronounce Grand Prix with the A vowel in father rather than the A vowel in hand. They are super pretentious if they give it a nasal vowel (A in ami). I don't do this one even lol

Sad！！

>9 minutes ago father father father help us and give us guidance from above because people got me questioning where is the love or however that song goes www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LLD... btw lol

The Dolphin emulator makes it surprisingly easy to use the Wii forecast channel even in 2025. They have a service called Wii Link which resurrects the services that Nintendo shut down for no reason in 2013.

Frisbee Dog (GPT5) at least it is still happy to draw copyrighted characters

it's the same picture

you cringe you lose (i lost)

Know the difference, it could save your life.

Well, as long as your legs are not also made of glass, definitely you. Elon's site is useless to me now. Even the messaging function is full of bots constantly.
