Poorly regulated democracy is just as dangerous as poorly regulated capitalism. "Let everyone vote on every issue, even things they know nothing about, even human rights and dignity" is a ridiculous way to run a society. bsky.app/profile/moxi...

Part 184 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg dnd Handmade bespoke button boots from the late 1800s.

ngl if I ever found myself defending the current carceral state [which demonstrably increases crime rates, the opposite of its pretend purpose] as the non-idiot policy answer to the question of crime I would put my head in an oven since it has clearly outlived its usefulness

Oh how I love let's game it out. Utterly breaking terrible games invtrylu cursed but hilarious ways 😆 youtu.be/f7q59yLpa40

Yeah tobaccos mistakes. Those were all big whoopsie goofs

kinda wild of you guys to pick on her for getting a job right?

evil even by uk standards. that's saying a lot.

Looking at all that refugees have achieved in the USA what possible reason could there be for rejecting or hating refugees? It's a legal, moral anx political obligation but it also BENEFICIAL. Refugees always add good things to any place!

"identity politics" gets a lot of shit but i think it's unambiguously a good thing since it lets (or at least exists downwind of letting,) people both define & group themselves by more than just their nationality, culture, religion, or consumer choices, as well as to define & spread the nature...

When you go to Auschwitz they have piles of jewellery and watches which were confiscated from those arriving.

two minutes into this video on a game called mall simulator and tangentially i'm sort of annoyed at how low concept all of these games are? it's just like any of the other retail simulators. stock shelves. get money. buy new things. repeat. but like. the history of malls is actually interesting?

I manifested this into existence btw

Here's something I'm confident in: there will NEVER be a time when all games are made by AI. Human beings have an inherent need to create things, and there will always be someone making games without AI. Even if they're niche indie games you have to go hunting to find.

"We have room for the woman who thinks there's cabals of Jews who cause forest fires with a space laser but not people who think Palestinians are people."

Upon hearing the story that they raided a taco shop, then were surprised they weren’t welcomed there the next day It sounded too good to be true, but I wasn’t going to question it, because I could use some positive vibes Yet there is video

There's an 11year old girl sitting in adult cells in Perth lockup because she got caught shoplifting a drink and a pastry from Coles.worth less than $10

If the govt did something about the cost of living & housing crisis,there wouldn't be so much domestic violence. Instead of jumping in a river to escape, that woman could get a place of her own.

seems worse doing it this way tbh. pure performance.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

There were a few people calling Luna—Tyler Robinson's girlfriend—a snitch because she cooperated with the FBI and solo killed the idea that a transsexual conspiracy was behind the Kirk assassination. Every day a woman has to say "fuck my stupid tranny life" and carry out her mission in spite of you.

Not sure how they thought putting it in a fluffy toy would stop it doing this in the first place.

every. single. time.

Their excuse in the linked article is the person in psychosis had a knife and the officer that murdered them "accidentally pulled their gun instead of their taser". What.

Capitalism is inherently dehumanising so the idea that it's human nature can't also be true.

!! plz, she hasn't had a contribution in 5 days

Good for him!

It'd be a pathetic sort to be so tired of living that they'd let a machine do the one nice thing about existence in their stead

“sorry you got sex trafficked as a kid anyways you need to be polite to people who literally believe it’s okay to sex traffic kids or we’ll suspend your account. i am being paid six figures to write things like this publicly btw”

quick question is this guys reputation and livelihood and legacy tied up on people believing this hype or is he an uninvolved expert with a neutral analysis of the situation

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

Greater autonomy? They really started lying about them immediately too huh?

"I am Spartacus" except everyone is admitting to felony sexual assault of a minor

EBT should be unlimited Per person Anyone complain about it on social media should be taxed 3000% to pay for it

I literally just had my yearly check-in and recertification in October. I am disabled, can't work, and am on SSI. I can't afford my medically mandated diet without SNAP, and reapplying is a lot of work, which is made harder by my disability and poor health. This is maddening.

Treat your body like someone who has done nothing wrong.

Sounds shit can't wait to never read it

kinda wild to think they probably trained an llm off that story

Foundational figure in PC games. One of those load-bearing creatives where things would look very different for entire genres if she wasn’t around. Please help her out

look. I took a photo of a crab on my walk

DC should hire me to write a G.I. Robot comic. Issue 1, page 1, he mercs a thinly-veiled Musk analogue. Mid-arc climax is him wiping out the US state, and by the end he's inadvertently overthrown capitalism because all capitalists are Nazis when you peel back enough layers (usually 0-2).

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators

AGAB: Assigned Gorgeous At Birth
