It's always; why hasn't the EU suspended Hungary yet, and never, why hasn't the US suspended Mississippi yet or why hasn't Germany suspended Saxony yet.

if AI will convince more of our poorly selected elites to try and bypass middle management protection mechanism and self-immolate it might still result in a net gain for humanity after all

I love him #slowdamage #スロウ・ダメージ

yeah about that >After seven years as a Federal Reserve board member, President Trump nominated Bowman to succeed Michael Barr as Vice Chair for Supervision of the board,

youtu.be/97Q-iSX1fic NEW VIDEO! This time I took a look at comparatively modern kusoge. Final Sword, a game you can, for some reason, play on your Playstation 5. Everything looks wrong, nothing makes any sense and marriage is difficult. I hope you enjoy my suffering!

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

it's always computer literacy this, computer literacy that until people recommend using something limiting like Photopea instead of simply pointing out there is software to be found on the Internet Archive

reason why The Language absorbed incelspeak so seamlessly is that the vast majority of users understand any piece of popular phraseology as a completely harmless "meme" to be used precisely the same way as an image of a cat or some .gif off Tenor

I am cautiously optimistic about new EVA, as someone for whom part of the appeal of the original EVA was the breadth of its apocalyptic vision. I tire of Nagano and the moon, show me the rest of the drowned world, show me where they keep MAGI 04 under 60 meters of Atlantic Ocean.

Ed Zitron must be absolutely seething that “guy who wrote a blog post so good it wiped out hundreds of billions of dollars of growth stock market cap in a day” is in fact a real job you can do but it turns out it’s not him.

Den von einer ganzen Generation von Politikern & Journalisten beschriebenen „fehlenden Respekt vor der Lebensleistung der Ostdeutschen“ gibt es im Osten überhaupt nicht mehr als Empfindung im relevanten Umfang. Eines der vielen interessanten Ergebnisse des Deutschland-Monitors.

Madatowa shippers confuse me. The man is empty inside, this is not my interpretation but literally stated in the text; what are you looking for?

ok i'm done #スロダメ #slowdamage

come to think of it, Moderna just kind of going "okay.png" and stomping a bunch of vaccine research down the drain because Trump sed so means "Big Pharma" gets to join "the Military-Industrial Complex" on the pile of lobbies more toothless and irrelevant than previously thought

Since it was ruled unlawful; heads probably need to roll over this if for no other reason than to re-introduce a certain measure of restraint against just throwing a prescription at groups during politically sensitive times *knowing* that the Courts are going to catch it later.

me I see a straight line from the he ubiquity of 9/11 jokes to the apparent inability on the part of some people to take the Epstein files "seriously" enough such that I think we just have to assume that if something happens, someone will make fun of it no matter how grim

heutzutage darf man ja gar nicht mehr sagen wenn man WESTdeutsch ist - wegen woke

Online Maoists, danmei girlies and people entranced by ads from light-industrial concerns in 2nd and 3rd tier cities were the pioneers of global diffusion of contemporary Chinese culture, the lao gan ma, can a white boy be a little Chinese, cigarette and light beer memers are on their coattails

Ironically, as institutions are betrayed and destroyed by radical and callous men, we do actually have a need for intellectuals who are … conservative

the Slow Damage translation invoking u/Aalewis' classic "in this moment, I am euphoric" and it not even being out of place is one of those things that by right should have started one is of those multi day interminable translation VS. localisation arguments

not sure what R&D *is* for a video game developer but to my knowledge nobody but executives report 30% productivity increases through AI usage, so, spoonful of salt, maybe

The 1930s.

the important thing is not how it polls now, the important thing is how it polls in October and indeed October 2028

Computer, define "mission creep".

what the Senile Grandpa says is highly fungible on a day-to-day basis so the Euros should probably treat Greenland like Taiwan where the question's not so much "who said what when?" but "what would it look like if they were about to try" and go from there

constant discourse about how bluesky is good or bad makes me wonder if anyone actually remembers pre-Elon twitter. it was bad in all of the ways people complain bluesky is bad, down to the very discourse about its badness!

Wear my earrings, boy I've sat on this for a while as I wanted to adjust each earring to every race but i couldn't hack it, rip. Feel free to adjust! tag #sparcemods so i can see you wearing them and sob a little <3 helio: heliosphere.app/mod/5kcfrspx... xma: xivmodarchive.com/modid/154346

It's going to be so cool when everybody tries to do autarky and Großraumwirtschaft on 800% of GDP total liabilities and a birth rate just over 1.

A very conservative coded opinion I’ve now done a complete 180 on is just: instead of spending money on useless “economic development” funds or permanent welfare the government should just directly hand out piles of cash to people in deprived areas to move somewhere there’s jobs.

what's the Gaullism glazers' theory on why the European Defense Community failed anyway

You should read this book.

conveniently illustrating that the sort of defensive crouch a lot of average Russians entered after the "full-scale invasion" started was not and is not a uniquely Russian phenomenon

"Versailles should have been harsher" is a cute heterodox take the first time you read it but loses much of its edge with every subsequent reading

ich bei der kleinsten unannehmlichkeit (beispiele sind ein pups quer im po, mein trinken steht etwas zu weit weg, schienbein juckt): OH GOTT OH GOTT WARUM ICH WARUM AUSGERECHNET ICH

the real antagonist of an Ace Combat(-like [to include Project Wingman]) is not so much whatever superweapon sent up to turn you into paste but the 200 million densely packed Adolph Hitlers that built the thing, from which its pilot was recruited and who demanded you be Paste´d

when guys say that they like "chubby" it's obvious that there are limitations on that preference strict to the point of dishonesty but this is not interrogated so much when the gender roles are reversed

when Americans think out loud about what Europe should do now it's not entirely clear if they're making suggestions that are in Europe's best interest or in their own best interest. The two might not always overlap

"Goomba Fallacy" would strike a bit more true if there was a sort of corollary about not taking credit for other people's achievements and good deeds

"You would, after all, have to be kind of crazy to be genuinely excited about the internet in the same way people were in the 1990s, and even more crazy to want to physically live on its servers." www.tumblr.com/soaog/805664...

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

A Red-tailed Hawk passing by. These hawks come in quite a few different color variations, but they will always have the dark feathers on the leading edges of wing.

parliamentary control over matters of war and peace was one of the first things demanded by first wave revolutionaries like 250 years ago so seeing that concept reduced to and derided as a boring libshit procedural [yawns] not meeting the moment! notion is sort of disheartening

There's not going to be an explanation for this that is a) internally consistent b) externally valid c) comprehensible to anybody who isn't cognitively impaired.

we are all living out one old man's dementia dreams
