The problem with a "real name" rule is that it operates on the concept of shame. Some people don't have it. A city employee got doored and killed on his bike by a 2xDUI driver on a suspended license, and the facebook comments I have seen about it from some people are absolutely bloodcurdling

Well-intentioned, but ineffective. You can't rely on individual responsibility and compliance to keep people in cities safe from cars. The only solution is to fund and build solid, separated, properly designed infrastructure. It self-enforces 24/7/365 and doesn't ask for safety, it demands it.

One of the top reasons why short form video is so dangerous is that most people are simply too stupid and gullible to handle a video of an attractive person telling them/doing something regardless of truth value.

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault

When Sierra launched its Leisure Suit Larry 7 website in 1996, there was a link in the sidebar labeled "free beer." If you clicked on it, it took you to a page that said something like, "There's no such thing as free beer, but here's Larry Pops Up! for free."

Boyfriend getting furious at my Jello cookbook because it has recipes that use pudding

When they have the SNW revival series 25 years from now they won't have those rocks and the whole thing will feel hollow

@koziarz.com I went to the grand opening of the Flip Museum in downtown Chicago and saw this fella. They might be interested in your making of stuff.

Removing the scaffolding to reveal that the building has been renamed The Donald Sutherland And John F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts. "Incredible in Backdraft!" someone in the crowd yells from the back, and the livestream chat lights up in approval. There's a Don't Look Now guy in there.

just from a pure layman’s perspective, the entire concept behind betting markets as an accurate predictor seems stupid as hell. what does the fact that 77% of degenerates were stupid enough to bet on something impossible tell me other than they’re really stupid and/or addicted to gambling

This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a basketball player crashing into our old mayor to a person who's celebrating a new business that's opening

hated going to the incel high school, my bullies would always chant "sex haver" at me and say things like "where are you going, sex haver? to look at books that are not pornography or the 48 laws of power"

The 1979 Star Trek poster resembles a Pride flag but it seemed like something was missing so I added some square wrinkles
