when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Anyone who honestly thinks you won’t play as Jesse as a secondary character in Control Resonant shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Very excited to see what Yakuza 1 would look like if Nagoshi had made seven Yakuza games before making the first one.

The way this is written it suggests I will also live forever. So the ideal future is just an AI of me talking to an AI of my grandma until the heat death of the universe? And this is good for the economy or something?

I see that people a little bit younger than me are romanticizing being a millennial in 2012 and I’m here to tell you it was exactly as good as you think it was

Finally, Post Traumatic Stress 2

Not to wordlepost in 2025 but one more correct guess to tie my all time streak from two years ago.

Reading comments about Horses on a couple different subreddits has made me realize a large amount of “captial-G gamers” think video games are art but don’t want video games to be artistic.

Please donate to the VGHF this winter. Frank and Phil have done amazing work this year (and they are very nice).

Whoever eventually runs against Johnson has the easiest ad lined up. Just play 45 second of him saying “I haven’t seen that” and the like and end it with “Mike Johnson doesn’t know what’s going on.”

I turned off GMail’s smart features since it allows them to scan your emails and attachments for genAI training but it also removes the Inbox|Purchases|Updates|Promos tabs when you do that. And now I’m finding thousands of old emails I had no idea were still being stored that go back to 2009.

My new standard for the minimum standard of wealth for everyone is being able to afford one of those heated driveways that melts snow for you so you don’t have to shovel it.

My girlfriend was literally talking about Garfield’s assassination yesterday.

Just saw a man pay for one slice of Sbarro pizza at a highway rest stop in rural Indiana with a crisp $100 bill.

Great video that nearly beat for beat matches my journey from evangelical pastor-in-training to a non-religious leftist.

If you need an AI to grill for you, you don’t deserve grilled food.

Happy Five Iron Frenzy Day to all who celebrate.

My partner just called a Question Block a “Mario Cube.”

This post has gained some traction so as an ex-evangelical let me say it’s not just the girls. Evangelicalism is definitely sexist and boys are treated better but ALL evangelical kids are pushed into abstinence and purity culture. I signed one of these pledges with dozens of other boys.

A weird thing about working at an international company is I will often schedule a message to @simonbuckmaster.net during my afternoon, his evening that starts with “good morning” and sends at 4:30am my time.

I love that we have one celebrity couple that’s just two extremely normal people. They could be any two white people from Pittsburgh to Des Moines.

Lord, I've seen what you've done for my neighbors.

It’s crazy that we were alive for the time Randy Johnson exploded a bird with a baseball pitch live on TV. That’ll probably never happen again for the rest of human existence and we saw it live on NBC.

Calling Schmoyoho a “TikTok DJ” is wild. Anyways, this slaps.

Zohran Mamdani Is Practicing Politics the Right Way

Haven’t felt like this since 7pm November 8, 2016.

Finally got one of those moments in GeoGuessr where I know which country I’m in but got super lucky on where I guessed. 1200 yards off in Eswatini.

This is my personal ranking as well.

I guess it’s kinda nice to know that all world leaders are losing their minds.

I’m approaching 20 hours in Hades 2 and it’s great but the resource economy is way too over engineered and putting the upgrade menus for spells, cards, and weapon aspects that require you to walk to makes the time at the Crossroads a real slog.

What if Inception was The Division and also bad.

Steam UI remains undefeated.

This is the best Star Wars video game.

Just saw the phrase “Stranger Things Cinematic Universe” and are we just calling TV shows without any spinoff shows or movies “cinematic universes” now? Cheers has more of a “cinematic universe” than Stranger Things.

By the end of 2029 every American will receive a misguided Signal message from a federal employee.

Some people are on an entirely different level

It’s pretty unfair that Boomers told us our high school and university years wouldn’t be the best times of our lives and then did everything possible to ensure every year after we turned 23 wouldn’t be a completely new kind of hell.

Watching KPop Demon Hunters with my nieces for the first time and here are the reviews from a 6 and 8-year-old respectively of the Saja Boys. “They skipped legged day.” “They have too many muscles up top and not enough lower.”

Gus has joined The Console Wars on the side of PlayStation it would appear. [Volume Warning]

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Gustave’s biggest stick to date.

I think we should completely rearrange society to be more college schedules where you do jobs like different classes. Monday: Burger King cashier Tuesday: CEO of Facebook Wednesday: Roofer Thursday: EMT Friday: Off, of course we’re doing four day work weeks

Tried getting the cup in Baby Steps, looked up that the average completion time is 9.5 hours and decided that was enough for me.

This happened to two of my friends at the NIH except they weren’t even fired; they were told they just couldn’t work while they kept getting paid. The emails saying they were finally going back to work came in while they were visiting us because they had nothing else to do.

Hades released during Covid. Hades II released during the second Trump administration. We’ve gotta stop Supergiant from making Hades III.

The worst thing about the rapture happening today is Trump will still be president.

I like that Disney’s PR disaster solution was just a little take backsies. Siblings teasing each other-ass response.

There’s so many reasons to cancel Disney+ you can really just take your pick. • BDS Movement • Removing LGBTQ+ characters from shows • Complying to fascism in advance by canceling Kimmel
