If I said I wanted to kick someone in the shins would that be a moderation action

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

When people are arguing about something important and a third person comes in to "defuse the tension with a little humor" that pisses me off even more

A lot of people are saying "illegal immigrants" are too poor to buy houses and sure of course but even if they weren't, buying a house puts you through the most intrusive paperwork scrutiny most people experience in their life which pairs up great with being "undocumented"

What's weird to me is the number of people replying to this that don't know who catturd is, like making fun of his username like they just heard it for the first time. I mean that's fine, that's great for them and their mental health, I just assumed most people on here were grizzled Twitter veterans

I don't like it when someone becomes a Main Character and then everyone who has never heard of them starts digging around to find if this person is on Our Side or what Type Of Guy they are to decide on their response, and usually doing a really sloppy job misreading old posts and falling for rumors

This is such a weirdly organized form. Like I get why it's on the form but I feel like it should be in a different section from the diseases

To be honest I hate both of these styles but reluctantly admit I'd rather have the one I can actually understand

That's interesting that the randomly generated project names + commit hashes on app hosting services read as "Russian hackers". Something for the ol product teams to think about

What's the longest string of As you've seen a business name start with that was obviously created back when people still looked up plumbers and tow services in the yellow pages. I saw one with 5 the other day but I'm sure that's not close to the record

I don't have to pay my spouse any fees to have a glass of wine with me

Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.

jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

And to a dog, dog food is just food And to a sock, a mansion's just a big shoe A milk dud, sitting in the acid rain A house cat addicted to the cocaine No teeth, unlimited floss These are just a few of our incredible thoughts youtu.be/uE7e4MkZGXY?...

This doesn't even make sense, if the emails were selectively leaked then he still did it, you can't undo that with more emails, what are they going to say, that other people did it too? That still means he did it. That it was all a dream? That it was a clone? That this was all an email based RPG?

This reminds me of a street preacher on the UC Berkeley campus named Yeshua (it was on his shirt and banners) who I avoided because he was very loud and angry but a friend talked to him and said his deal was that Joshua and Jesus are derived from the same name, Yeshua which is his name so he's Jesus

I mean sure the NYT had a soft spot for Trump and hated Hillary Clinton but is this also because sex scandals are considered tawdry paparazzi stuff that's beneath them and they wanted to do prestigious follow-the-paper-trail stuff like All The President's Men

I mean I guess he's around and lying low but I just thought it was funny to imagine like the NYT having a black ops squad

Is there any way to know if any Epstein news has changed any minds of Trump voters, or are they going like "these are probably fake" or "oh sorry I don't follow politics, I am too busy looking at videos about how they're putting fentanyl in kids' candy or what an upside down labubu secretly means"

One scene that always stuck with me was during an episode of MasterChef where Gordon Ramsay told the contestants they will be making naan bread and they cut to the confused face of one of the contestants who was clearly thinking "non-bread? that could be anything!"

but when i can't post for 72 hours / that's what tortures me

The Devil Wears Prada was one of the few books I didn't finish and I think convinced me to never read a popular bestseller ever again

This is the same deal with VCs, "I play judge over a bunch of different people that have different areas of expertise, therefore I understand all of their fields and am above them."

I guess I kind of understand now which kinds of people are saying "I run my emails through ChatGPT and now people can understand me and have stopped asking if my dog wrote this". It was not in fact non English speakers, most of whom communicate clear enough

Will it actually hurt them when people don't get checks or will they just go "obviously we wanted to! You saw all the headlines! We had all the envelopes ready to go! Then those horrible Democrats blocked it!"

One of my snobbiest opinions baked in from my time as a forum snob is that no adult should abbreviate "you" to "u" unless they are dealing with a character limit. If I was writing a message for help on a deserted beach I would still find the rocks to spell out YOU

It's very weird that working in tech over the years, I have been told a lot of stuff about being careful what not to say in email and chat, and that when those things come up you say let's talk in person or on the phone, but then now every meeting session is like "do you want Gemini to take notes?"

This extremely stereotypical example is cracking me up, I assume you don't get this in Duolingo blog.gymglish.com/2025/03/14/g...

Hahaha so in context it's "why should anyone care if you harass a few women, who are morons anyway"

Is that what they named themselves? Possibly Google could throw in a trademark complaint or something too developer.chrome.com/docs/lightho...

Every PR department should have two wolves. One screams "We have to claim every basic thing is actually AI, so investors will give us money", and the other screams "We can't call anything AI because people think that just means we asked ChatGPT". Unfortunately, most only have the first wolf.

I can't find that post that was about how people (conservatives?) generalize things they are accused of until it's meaningless like if they're accused of organizing a bank robbery they'll be like "oh so now it's illegal to talk to your friends". "Oh suddenly it's a crime to talk to women"

One interesting takeaway from this for me is how many industry execs are men, like the company was founded by men, the CEO right before this one was a man and the CEO of a makeup brand interviewed was a man. I guess it's always been but I didn't think about it because women do the public promotion

I think a lot of people are misinterpreting "dog that hasn't barked". It's a Sherlock Holmes reference and I'm pretty sure from the context he's using it correctly: something conspicuous due to its absence. Eg, "it's weird they're talking about everyone except Trump when he did so much with me"

I'm not really captivated by the weird looking labubu guy because, 1) he's doing it on purpose and 2) he hasn't done anything newsworthy. If he had imploded in a submarine or was the Libertarian nominee for president or was caught planting cameras in Tom Holland's bathroom maybe I'd want a gawk

I mean it's pretty clear that the report was negative or at least she read it that way and she interpreted it as an attack on her parenting and is being defensive about it. It's not about society or whatever it's just "how dare you say I'm a bad parent" dressed up as a deep thought about society

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

Ok this thought was provoked by recent billionaire shenanigans but not really about them. Do you think it's worse to not be genuinely loved by anyone or to not be able to love anyone or anything? They're both terrible but I think the second one is worse like you're basically dead inside

I guess the positive side of this is that when there's an announcement like "we're now using AI to make your favorite tv show/game" there's a lot less of it actually using AI than they make it sound like. On the downside there is a lot more "putting on a show for the bosses" eating into workers time

Oh he said he didn't have time when I asked but he found it somehow. Typical

This is so wrong

If you read down it's about 1) S&P was mean to the guy who implied guest Ta-Nehisi Coates had terrorist ideas for saying he cared about Palestinians and 2) S&P allowed 60 Minutes to do a story about Gaza. This is all like one really narrow grudge. She doesn't even care or know what else they do

I think what makes it funnier if you read further is the quoted glowing PR blurb about her new show where she plays a smart sexy lawyer followed by the reveal that it has 4% on rotten tomatoes

Regardless of why he posted a link to the Odyssey or whether you can contort the Iliad to be about "fighting for princesses," like... that's how those edgy writers claiming their edgy new fantasy book isn't your grandmother's fantasy disparage the rest of the fantasy genre, which they haven't read

I just went to the Computer History Museum website because, well, that's not important, but I learned that on this day in history in 1983, Microsoft announced Windows. Which rolled out in 1985. Happy birthday to premature software announcements www.computerhistory.org/tdih/

This is actually a higher level of ignorance than Insane Clown Posse who merely didn't know how they worked

So she's not going to participate in her own movement?

Ok, so here's the thing

JCO: this shithead has never seen a movie and also he has a broken dick that doesn’t work Elon: I have seen a movie

The Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous game has one of the worst game UIs I have ever encountered. I'm on my second playthrough
