This site needs two additional post interaction buttons; one for "calm down" and one for "shut the fuck up"

Damn. Even a NIN soundtrack can't save this one, huh?

The gifted program at my school was just where they put all the annoying kids to get us out of the regular classroom for a while. I learned things quickly back then, and the idea was that an advanced program would keep my attention better, but it sucked and all the kids in there were weird!

Nostalgia is a reactionary impulse that must be actively resisted.

I think bsky might be the end of the road for a lot of people online. If the owners continue to make dipshit moderation decisions and melt down publicly until it drives people away, there's nowhere to go. I know if I personally leave this site, I'm not going anywhere else. I'll just be offline.

It is so fucking funny that the 2025 Taylor Swift album has an entire song dedicated to complaining about cancel culture.

Of course I want all the suffering to stop. But the people who cause the suffering? Keep them out of it! -This post has been brought to you by iHeartRadio/Clear Channel Communications

Imagine being this jealous of Elon Musk. Pathetic.

Drown me in this shit. God it's so fucking good.

Have they tried turning the governgment back on?

Hegseth is an especially funny facet of this administration. Being an angry middle-aged drunk in public office feels like such a retrograde cliche. Really drives home the whole "banality of evil" thing they've got going on.

I haven't watched any of those 4 hour YouTube video essays in years. I'm sure they're great but I can't be spending that long watching TV *and* getting mad.

What's the Tylenol gonna do? Give me extra autism?

Oh his brain is dying for real

Sometimes you hear a song and it runs you over like a truck.

Tron Ares soundtrack rips. NIN (TR/AR) still got it.

You really gotta be sure you hit the "a" in the word "ahead" so you don't end up saying "challenging road head" to the entire company in a Teams call

Every instance of someone getting fired over their statements about The Thing, you go read what they said and it's the most lukewarm lib handwringy boilerplate imaginable

[to the tune of "Spring/Sun/Winter/Dread"]:

"Repainting my car would be a pointless aesthetic expense that doesn't affect its usefulness in any real way" vs. "Damn my car does look like shit tho"

The grift must never stop

Just saw the phrase "post-quantum security" in the marketing copy on a tech company website, in case you were wondering what will be the new hotness once this AI shit goes away.

I think it was nice of Apple to bring back Windows Aero

They're so mad they can't make people love them. Every last one of them is leaving behind a pathetic legacy of stinking up every room they've ever entered. Realizing they wasted their lives and won't be missed by anyone who matters is tearing them apart.

Not a good sign of how much you're personally missed if your wife is selling merch off your death in less than a week. Maybe the d-league nuisance streamer was just as annoying in his private life as he was in public.

Whoever or whatever began the trend of putting "subtitles" on videos by displaying one singular word at a time needs to be keelhauled.

This is the best goddamn article I've read on the state of Firefox in years. Maybe ever. Short version if you don't want to read the whole thing: you should still be using Firefox.

I went to the DMV today. The people there were helpful and nice. The weather outside was a bit too warm, but still pleasant. I came home and made myself a chicken sandwich with mozzarella, pickles, lettuce, mayo, and a little bit of horseradish on an onion roll from the bakery. And there's one less

Just as a bonus, now we're *for sure* never going to live to hear the end of conservatives obsessively whining about college campuses. It will be inflicted upon us foreverandeverand, etc.

I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 on my Steam Deck with the "low" graphics settings and it looks better than I remember the old Forza games looking in the 360 days.

Imagine being a "conservative activist." An actual paradox. Waking up every day and fighting for literally nothing. Getting mad because time progresses and things happen and you want it all to stop. It would be a pitiable existence if they weren't all so hateful.

I obviously have thoughts but I am not going to post them, and I'd advise you to do the same!

One day you wake up and find out a band you used to love has a bunch of features from the Hamilton guy on their new album, and it destroys your remaining faith in your own judgement.

You ever think about how Andreesen Horowitz actually had to fight for that stupid "a16z" abbreviation because of how bad it would be if the other one caught on?

It's crazy that whatever crushed the one half of Linehan's head didn't evenly smush the other side down with it. He should find someone with a good hydraulic press and see if they can help him get his symmetry back.

You can't be an American criticizing the leader of another country for saying something strange. Your leaders are all mummified. You live in a sewer country. Check yourself.

Found this while I was looking for my old copy of SimEarth

Homeownership rocks because you get to constantly work your ass off on a bunch of kinda pointless stuff, then you can sit back and look at the finished product and go "well, that still sucks but now nobody can get mad at me."

Every person who previously loved RFK Jr.'s freak bullshit is reading this and changing their minds. They don't think this is good, and they're not happy that all of this is happening. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Much respect to Fall Out Boy for making the 20th anniversary edition of Cork Tree suck so I don't have to buy it

Yet another thread of Linux Mint evangelists failing the vibe check.

Snoop Dogg is scared of going to the movies because he's an old man with permanent weed psychosis. He doesn't know what's going on anymore. He's scared of everything.

You ever look back at all the time you spent talking to people about this stuff, then see another "socialism is when government owns stuff" post in 20fucking25 and get the urge to walk into the ocean?

I'm ready for the part of the pre-iPhone nostalgia tech revival where some brave manufacturer brings back the BlackBerry keyboard+trackball combo.

There are basically 2 opinions in this thread: 1. Do collective punishment based on who voted for the red guy instead of the blue guy 2. Solve capitalism with One Weird Trick (worse capitalism)

Remember a few years ago when people were defending that one journalism influencer whose name I always confuse with Tory Lanez because she gave a softball hangout interview to the LibsOfTikTok lady? Well everything turned out great and they were all on the right side of that argument.

I hope today Dr. Dobson's family is focusing on how he's burning in hell and they're all next
