Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

the current state of the anti-AI movement is 100% virtue signaling and you cannot fucking convince me otherwise

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

yeah the entire plot is like the exact opposite of what the white mans burden means and it’s so baffling to see people always say this. every single film is anti colonial and believes that violence against colonialists is always moral

i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the avatar series seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other series has ever been treated, very odd to me

And yet it’s precisely things like this that make me want to apologize for being white

Someone much smarter than me will have to do the research and write the report (if someone hasn't already), but at the end of the day the creation of the McDonald's Dollar Menu probably did more to damage America's water table than the creation of ChatGPT.

this is just being a SRE

Urge to completely destroy my sleep schedule has me by the throat

How it feels to drink juice as an adult

The genius of Louise Fletcher's portrayal of Kai Winn is how skillfully she did Erika Kirk face.

2026 is gonna be my year

also it doesnt actually fucking matter what bibi netanyahu the shithead yimach shemo had to say. he has nothing to *do* with australian jews. he's not the king of the jews. there is no rex iudaii. never has been.

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

Any time someone seriously quotes the George Carlin "Think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that" bit, I almost immediately tune out. I don't need to hear more about your smug self-satisfaction and tenuous grasp on psychometrics, Joke Understander.

global adoption of linux gets pushed back by 6 years every time a Linux Guy starts talking at me like max headroom

YOUTUBE: you like history ME: I do! YOUTUBE: and you're white ME: well, I mean YOUTUBE: here are some white people who also like histor-- ME: no no no No NO NO NO

Grandma got into the edibles again

new reactors to replace this one should’ve come online 20 years ago. but nuclear is bad and scary so instead of building new safer reactors with modern designs to replace old and unsafe ones, we will just keep running the old scary ones that experienced the failures we’re all now terrified about :D

Can the democrats go one day without proposing the most idiotic idea possible? It's like they want Trump to take full control over the internet.

Feeling like shopping for more books now instead of digging into my own to-read pile.

poosay

This looks cool and good, but no one agrees on who "the rich" are. People who live in California, young people with dyed hair, college professors, Jewish people, these can all be "the rich" while the family that owns 40% of all retail space in town goes unnoticed and unremarked upon.

Kind of surprised I haven’t seen some company like Graza try to sell premium bottled pasta water yet

Saying their "main revenue source [is] going away" is a very dry, very funny way of putting it.

“And what is the charge? Eating a seal? A succulent Chinese seal? GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!”

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

someone should make a downdetector-like site that just says "no", but with a dependency on every major cloud service so if one of them is down the page won't load

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

It's late & I'm not doing a full dive on it rn but wow. I am really, really disappointed with the response to the article. RS laid out the whole story. In detail. Local ag interests been tearing up the county's water supply for 30+ years.

Just gonna leave it here for now: I really wish someone. anyone. had read the article before firing off their hot takes.

This sucks.

Consider the following before adopting a Manticore for your family

ME: I am going to read this book now BRAIN: you got it, boss ME: it's a serious book BRAIN: sure is, boss ME: and requires quiet contemplation BRAIN: on it ME: BRAIN: ME: *opens book* BRAIN: OOOH BRANDY YOU'RE A FINE GIRL WHAT A GOOD WIFE YOU WOULD BE

You can watch a movie pretty much any time. There is a lot of movies now and you can watch them even on a phone. So if you ever want to do something like watch a movie remember you can do that. Pretty much whenever you want to actually. Movies: there’s lot of them

It's only too late if you're dead, and you are not dead.

i for one welcome our yuri overlords

straight boys are only good for one thing and it's fucking disgusting apparently and why else would you want them around. idk babes i think this is an everyone problem

he's a rascal

yeah gonna be real knuth is kinda the goat

part of the reason i am genuinely irritated with the gAI/AGI cult is because there is real societal benefits in using ML techniques in medical care + weather analysis, and instead people get annoyed with anything that gets lumped in with the plagiarism machine

Mr. Beast is one of those celebrities or shows in the background of a dystopian story to give you an idea of how completely the broken society has become. You can't convince me he's real.

adonis really do be the spirit of christmas: going through the wringer and finding family who loves you to a point of safety and comfort, and everyone getting to share love with one another

i really do not understand how a format based in brevity gets so much pushback. being concise is a fucking art form.
