consent manufacturing has gotten *weird*. gloating about oil that in actuality is worthless while preparing to wage a purely ideological war

the beachminton episode of friends at the table is crazy

thing that keeps happening today: someone in will stancil's mentions will say dems should all do something that is obviously illegal. will says "that would be extremely illegal please don't do that". ten other people reply to this saying "oh so now you're accusing kat of doing something illegal???"

i won't deny will is being a bit of a hater here and i certainly won't deny that will is often wrong and usually very annoying but i do think the response to what he's saying here would be very different if it weren't being said by someone we already consider annoying

we basically discovered in the 1890s that the human brain is incredibly good at motion interpolation and letting the brain do frame interpolation is how film worked for like 120 years then some people decided a tiny computer that's ten billion times worse at it should take over

Dearest Annabelle I have had a most horrible time at Woolworth's. The locals were rude and brutish and at times I feared I would never leave that wretched place. I venture now to home, and cannot wait to see you and the children once more. Would you like anything from mcdonalds?

there is absolutely no benefit to defending daniel vavra online and CERTAINLY not in people's replies, thus this post being shouted into the void, but as an annoying pedant it does bother me that an international game of telephone seems to occur over every slightly dumb thing he says

a couple years ago my wife's family got me a knee length wool coat, this year my mom splurged on christmas+my birthday and got me a leather messenger bag, these are the two nicest things i own, i leave the house lookin like a fuckin millionaire

when adults use the r word or say "gay" to mean stupid my first impulse, way before getting offended, is to think "why the hell are you talking like a 12 year old. use grown up swears"

sorta have this intuition that LLM's peaked in 2019 and diffusion models peaked in maybe 2021 and also were never ever ever going to be anything other than toys

i used to think "there are ideologies that mainly believe things that i think are evil, but they aren't, like, evil-for-evil's-sake. they won't like ANY evil thing simply by dint of its evilness" but lately it feels like the right has negative-polarised itself into actually being ontologically evil

the thing that gets me most about nag lines and gamedevs fighting an "attention span war" is that making something designed to be half-ignored, intentionally leaving room for tiktok, isn't "fighting"? it's conceding? why are you acting like you have punitive treaties with tiktok bro

i don't have anything i wanna pick up from the library, i haven't finished several of the books i last took out and nothing's due, but i kinda wanna just take the bus downtown and hang out near the library because i like it there

you ever consider that thanks to various great lakes canals half the continental united states is sort of an island chain

profit is a type of taxes that capitalists levy from their workers

people love to suggest progressives are insular and out of touch while in the same breath saying shit that's outright gibberish to 99% of people

"dormant" "secretly" bro what

one thing about american healthcare is i see procedures and tests that total maybe like 10-15 man-hours of work being billed for like $700.000, i see line items like "blood pressure test: $8400" "overnight room fee: $2650" and like. nobody is actually getting paid that much for these things right?

i am sorry if this makes it sound like i live an incredibly charmed life but one ongoing problem i have rn is that the coffee from the lesbian espresso cart downtown is so good that anything i can make at home or get elsewhere kinda tastes worse than it used to in comparison

is it fixed?

Kat kirpo doodles from the pizza store Because for some reason she is unable to post images rn and everything becomes The Void

had the thought of starting a victoria 3 campaign in which i start as the united states, conquer england, and force them to become irish

looking for the planet scoober doober game cartridge under the coat sink in the mudroom. little do i know the whole house is planet scoober doober game cartridge

At any level above a household budget wealth is exclusively a measure of political power. Not implicitly, or de facto, but literally and explicitly. It isn't money, it isn't purchasing power, it isn't possessions, it is a description of the land, resources, and above all labour one commands

my politics are consistently vindicated by the fact that my enemies are bad at literally everything. that they are winning anyway is of course deeply embarrassing

mistook a picture of maduro for jeff gerstmann and now i can't unsee it

planet scoober doober game cartridge

got a cortado at the lesbian coffee cart near the library and it was the smoothest fuckin cortado i've ever had in my life. what are those lesbians doing to make it so good? potentially sinister??

had a dream that kiri was frantically looking for her Planet Scoober Doober Game Cartridge. everyone in the dream always said the full title. we had a roommate in the dream who called out "i haven't seen your planet scoober doober game cartridge" as kiri ran past

They keep stressing her inexperience but she has immense experience in local municipal politics. like, what experience do they expect a mayor to have? what's the "proper" career path? become mayor of a smaller town first and work ones way up?

got no hopes got no dreams, got a tiny little peen, and it doesn't even function anyway

Valve's main source of income is overcharging for a service t they've monopolized. this is in positive contrast to every other business on the planet, whose main source of income is speculating on societal collapse

there are no known defences against "the cum man"

if dems hold out for some sort of deal, literally anything honestly, republicans will continue to hold the blame for the shutdown and dems will get the credit for ending it. if they cave specifically now, it'll be the opposite. real "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" ass play

"true, food and housing has doubled in price relative to the nominal value of currency, but have you considered that consumer electronics and personal vehicles are dirt cheap? just eat a TV forehead"

i've seen a few people say the sandwich guy case doesn't seem like jury nullification, seemingly on the basis that they think jury nullification is some kind of formalized legal trickery that must be invoked. it's not. it just refers to the fact that juries can return whatever verdict they want

"people call this art unrealistic but my body literally looks like this irl" - woman whose body looks nothing like that irl

that old "good times make weak men, weak men make bad times" bullshit it turns out is true but only about antivaxxers

i understand that it was nearly a century ago and that the labour movement is constantly divorced from socialism but like, goddamn la guardia man. there's an airport named after him and everything

do you think yamcha was even a particularly good baseball player? like jokes aside you'd expect he would be but it'd be really funny if the guy is literally superhuman and is still only like the fourth best player on a middle-of-the-pack team

i live in a downstairs apartment in which the only door leads out into the back patio and then i have to walk up a path to a gate to get to the street. the upstairs neighbours dog keeps pooping on this path. they clean the poop all at once one time per week

halloween costume idea

everyone replying about being an introvert or a loner - listen man i'm both but there's still a big-ass library downtown, a great donut place near the library, and the world's gayest espresso cart typically somewhere around

seemingly jay's highest apsiration is to be elon musk but with less money and running a smaller website. in other words, to be lowtax. there's a faster and easier way she could accomplish this but i'll get banned if i say it
