a whole lot of "everything is gender" comments about this but my pushback to that is that gig work jobs like uber or doordash are male coded and those to me get used way more as a threat than jobs like home health aide

My basic view of primarying house incumbents is that if they are beatable then they have been very shitty at their jobs beyond taking some bad positions. Just didn't try, got caught sleeping. Spend 5 minutes in your district and it won't happen

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

the real answer is "conflating specifically authorized private servers with the actually illegal ones that are being actively sued like in world of warcraft"

reminiscing on how sandra day o'connor specifically set up her retirement to apply once an acceptable successor was appointed, which meant she did not step down when harriet miers was first floated, then also did not step down when rehnquist died, and then only stepped down after alito was confirmed

hey when we say that liberals and democrats are worse than useless on trans rights this is the kind of shit we are talking about :) by the way :) what is the fucking point of conceding on title IX like this. what is the fucking point.

republicans project 2025: what if we proposed a wholesale conservative takeover of literally everything under the sun. all of it. everywhere. democrats project 2029: what if we maybe sort of banned kids from phones?

Four-year-old just told his toddler sister “it’s time for the hunt” and they both left the room. Not my business

Humphrey's Executor is dead and the president can fire anyone in the executive branch at will but NOT Federal Reserve governors is really a parody of the difference between the money power and everything else in America

Thinking about the time Reddit’s Xenoblade community did a poll for the series and simultaneously chose Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as the best and worst game (as well as the most underrated and the most disappointing). Also, Xenoblade 3 took home the award for both longest and shortest game.

Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

they're right and they should say it

most true post ever made

can't wait for deltarune to finish so we can begin the 23-year countdown to it getting a fully 3D remake with action RPG combat

Dad Carrying 2-Person Inner Tube Up Waterslide Steps Like Christ Bearing Cross

Kinda weird when people come to a revelation about needing to win elections after losing a couple primary contests to the left and not when the courts and both houses of Congress and the Presidency are controlled by the other party

a great dissection of why a lot of fandom drama doesn't only boil down to "these people are thinking too much about [insert series here] and need to touch grass." there's another layer to the way folks get obsessed (for parasocial/self-important rewriting/clout reasons, etc) that gets glossed over

ancient mesopotamian farmer i'm making watch the sheep detective: this flock is so healthy. so large. it's so beautiful. this future is wondrous me: yeah and it's a movie. that square on the wall is showing another world farmer: you already explained films. do not make me watch ghost of mars again

and what about the story of the little man who traveled almost 2,000 miles with his boyfriend to throw a magic ring into a volcano? it’s true. this one actually happened. you’re correct. a similar story happened 20 years ago in florida

Yum

here you go persona fans

Forrest Gump: (intermittently while recounting his incredible life story at the bus stop) Really. you've never heard of any of this shit

the key to understanding the rich pricks fretting about the left destroying 'the democratic party' is that when they say 'the democratic party' they mean their gentleman's club. that's where they go to do insider trading & extort the elderly with scam texts. you're not allowed in there

there are a lot of companies where the problems were overarching due the economy/industry in general but with bungie i still can't get over how they planned a timeline for sunsetting destiny but management never even came up with pitch ideas for what they would work on next, much less started on it

I don’t get it, why doesn’t the coyote simply catch the roadrunner? Massive plot hole if you ask me.

We love the Gross Reflecting Pool story because it is a Groverhaus

This new translation of Clausewitz is 🔥. "Each strives by physical force to compel the other to submit to his will: each endeavours to throw his adversary, and thus render him incapable of further resistance or, where throwing proves taxing, to prevail narrowly on points."

So...if you went to Otakon in the early 2010s you probably remember the Iced Cold Water guy who would sing his banger of a song while selling Ice Cold Waters for Only 1 Dollar. I just learned he passed away earlier this year.....shit www.charleslstevensfuneralhome.com/obituaries/j...

You already got your renewed Camelot buddy. Most powerful Kennedy in office in many years married to a TV star and he’s busy mixing dog cum with chia seeds to “see what grows.”

You’ve heard of going “0-2” Now try going “0-$200”

right up until now my observation was always that anti-establishment campaigns don't work in dem primaries because the average dem voter likes the party (the opposite being true with republicans)...and then chevalier won loooooooooooooooool

That can't be good

every stupid screwup in this admin is either 30 Rock-coded, Veep-coded, Curb Your Enthusiasm-coded or Always Sunny-coded. Algaegate is all four at once. Very powerful.

Britain about to get its seventh Prime Minister in ten years. I can’t say I’m surprised. As a people they’re often wonderful of course—very musical, for example, many charming customs, and always joking around in their quirky way—but they just don’t have the temperament for stable self-government.

People who expected to have student loan forgiveness but did not get it were substantially worse off than if none had been announced because of the financial decisions they made expecting forgiveness www.nber.org/papers/w35319

normie translation: there are legal limits on what you can print without hard evidence if you don’t want to get sued into oblivion. many times, all journalists can do is publish what they can while writing it up in a way where readers can connect the dots

just sold all my spacex shares after the drop. will buy it again when it goes up

all timer footnote in "mayor of boston"

some of you clearly haven't been on PCpartpicker in the last month

This feels like some Dominican/Haitian beef that we're all not supposed to know about but is out in the open because NYC elections are like staring into the Ark of the Covenant

same (not just that I don't get "why woke and dei are RUINING video games" videos in my recommendations, but also because I too got that marmot video in my feed recently)

it must be rough to be a kid on bluesky and see “DNI MINORS” in someone’s bio and know you can’t scroll down to see some good ass posts

i'm pro-remake in theory but that's because i want to see remakes of games where there's plenty to improve. meanwhile whenever i see engagement farming posts asking about "what game NEEDS" a remake 90% of the replies are games where i can't even imagine how the remake would improve it

when mine finally died i was floored when i looked online and saw that it was discontinued??????!!!! (then i got a scimitar to replace it and yeah it's basically the same thing)

it's like i've run into a celebrity
