Nobody seems to talk about in the US either, one of the most basic human rights is in crisis and it’s just business as usual.

paddirn ,

Is this a bad thing?

paddirn ,

Here’s a hint, guys: Bitches don’t like being called “females”.

I’m not full vegan/vegetarian, but I’ve cut out all the beef/dairy that I can from my diet, just because of how bad cows in general are for the environment with their methane farts, though I think there may be methods to reduce emissions. I’m guessing that costs money though, so fuck that, we need cheap beef. I think if people just took that step of cutting that one animal out of our food chain, it’d be alot easier for people to do, rather than trying to cut out all meat and going vegan.

This isn't a serious proposal and it's not even really meant for Ukraine to even consider. It's meant for Ukraine's Western allies who will start getting bored and antsy and may start applying pressure on Ukraine to look for a deal. Putin knows he just needs to outlast fickle Western governments, or wait until Russian-backed right-wing governments get into power, then Ukraine will lose its support and likely crumble.

It just felt like they were trying too hard in every scene. Ragnarok was great, one of the top Marvel movies, but the humor in that was unexpected, it hadn’t really been done like that before with Thor. We were used to this almost Shakespearian Thor, so it was a breath of fresh air. They needed to tone it down some more, maybe actually make it a bit more serious in L&T. They could’ve used it to question religion in general or something even.

Also, Thor getting chained up and stripped down naked was apparently fine for a Disney movie, but when I do it at the theme park I’m a “sex offender” and “exposing myself to minors”, what the fuck Disney?!

Wakanda Forever. First part where we’re saying goodbye to Chadwick was good in a sad way, but I couldn’t stand anything else that happened after that. I was just so annoyed with every character, I hated every minute of it.

Secret Invasion is by far the worst Marvel production though, just a total shitshow and primarily what caused me to cancel D+, I was just done with the shitty writing.

Would it only be Texas though? Is there a chance that other US states might also join along with them, not because they wanted to secede before, but because the GOP is a cult and they can convince their people to go along with anything? Plus, how many military personnel would “defect” over to this new Texas Republic? The idea of Texas leaving and trying to go it alone against the rest of the current US is fairly one-sided, but what if Texas peels away a sizable chunk of the US with it? I wouldn’t doubt that Trump would support it if it meant saving his skin from all the trials he’s involved in (though given the status of most of them it may not be necessary).

And this would’ve been all just one family.

A situation where color-coding seems more than appropriate, I’m surprised they didn’t color code the grades.

Sounds like a shitty implementation, it adds an additional prompt everytime you ask something that you have to confirm if you also want it to lookup with ChatGPT and then it just looks it up via text? Kind of wish it was just tied to an extra command, like “Hey Siri, check with ChatGPT…” and then it spoke the thing out. Otherwise, if I just wanted to read and write prompts, I’m just going to type stuff out directly with ChatGPT, without talking to Siri in the first place. The only benefits Siri has is voice communication and telling my kids stupid knock-knock jokes on command, they’re not really adding anything to it.

There was that one time that lead singer Jimmy Urine was accused of grooming, sexually assaulting, and molesting a 15-year-old girl, so that was kind of a thing.

My daughter didn’t check the toilet after she flushed it right before bed. It was in a back bedroom that nobody else really goes to. It ended up flooding overnight and I didn’t discover it til the next morning, when I found my kitchen flooding from the ceiling. It apparently wasn’t from poop though as I didn’t see any fecal matter around (unless it was in the ceiling that got torn out). Whole kitchen ceiling got torn out, along with the floor of the bathroom. Not a huge amount of damage, but the most the house has sustained… so far.

paddirn ,

Still no idea, she could’ve put a paper towel or something in there or just used too much toilet paper. This was a month or two ago, so not likely we’ll ever know.

paddirn ,

TIL I’m German. I just always doublecheck everything has gone down, just a listen for something not right, a quick glance. It’s not like I’m hovering over the bowl like, “Yes, my little fecal babies, your time with me may be at an end, but your journey in this world has only just begun…” I mean, who does that? Not this well-adjusted person.

paddirn ,

Like woah… woah. Can we just take a minute to appreciate how long the Battle of Verdun was? 9 months, 3 weeks and 6 days. At the start of the battle, you could’ve made beautiful sweet love to a woman, impregnated her with your seed, and dropped a few more loads in her in the mean time, and then 9 months later that baby comes out and the battle would still be going on. That says something about humanity. I’m going to repeat that. That. Says. Something. About. Humanity. In this 10 pg, double-spaced essay, I will talk about how awesome Verdun was and why we should be naming our children after it.

paddirn ,

Don’t mess with Texas. Seriously, they’re delicate and can’t handle being messed with.

paddirn ,

I always think he looks like Budget Steven Spielberg.

They have to eventually roll out a Passwords+ subscription service that people will pay for.

The rabbit holes was big for me. I think it started changing after Google Reader and other aggregators came along, but before then you’d go from one site, which would link to another, then to another site, until after an hour you’d gone across a dozen or more different sites and you were on a completely different topic than what you started.

It still can happen in the current web, but it all feels alot less connected now, every website is like an island almost, no external Links and completely separated from any other sites. Before, finding new sites and content from a site’s ‘Links’ page was a big thing, I feel like that’s how I found alot of stuff. You would just bounce from one site to the next, read what they had, check the Links, see something else, bounce to that and repeat.

A corporate landlord was raided by the FBI in a rent-fixing investigation—but renters online long fostered complaints ( www.dailydot.com )

"FBI agents raided corporate landlords Cortland Management in Atlanta on May 22, a dramatic step forward in a potential antitrust investigation into price-fixing by property management companies who control over 70% of the United States’ multi-family rental units."

I hope this is part of a wider effort to put pressure on these bastards to bring rents back down to Earth, though I don’t know that we’re ever going to be able to go back.

paddirn ,

Is he saying a child wouldn’t have survived against the swan or that he himself could easily kill a child?

paddirn ,

“expected to make a full recovery,” somehow I doubt that.

paddirn ,

I hope so, because those are probably the only good traits I have.

paddirn ,

I feel like he’s making these moves to try to bring in right-wing voters who say they care about immigration, but literally none of them will give a shit and they’ll still accuse him of being soft on immigration. All he’s doing is just pissing off people in his own party for no actual political gain.

paddirn ,

Wow, who would imagine that nobody wants to do an activity that you literally have to pay people to do on a regular basis? It’s almost like they’re not paying people enough and nobody wants to work for shitty wages.

paddirn ,

You could also be rising along the spiral as well… before plummeting off the edge in a dramatic fall.

paddirn ,

Cool trick, do houses and rent next.

paddirn ,

So is Ukraine supposed to micromanage how each piece of equipment is being used based on how each donor country feels about attacking Russia?

paddirn ,

Guy, had a similar fear all growing up too, except that I was afraid it’d bite my butthole (no idea why there, but whatever), not sure how I ever got over it.

Cartels and oil companies going to get together and arrange for an accident to happen.

Damn, where was this 30 minutes ago? It never gets any easier no matter how many patients you lose.

paddirn ,

As a fan of boobs, I appreciate this.

paddirn ,

“Entrance open to visiting crabs”? Are crabs social and they have dinner parties with each other? Or are they just sluts and come over for some boom-boom?

paddirn ,

I’ll have to listen to the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies song again, didn’t realize it referred to an actual event, though the lyrics only really make vague references to sailors.

paddirn ,

Do that, redistribute corporate earnings more equitably amongst workers and then we can finally achieve maximum paper clip efficiency.

“Batman Ninja” wears samurai armor.

The inconsistent ‘O’s are kind of bothering me, but also I have no idea what this is referring to. Did the IDF start flying rainbow flags or something?

paddirn ,

For the lazy

Also, Gamer’s block. You want to play. You finally have the time to play. You have a pile of games that you’ve been wanting to get through, but you just can’t devote the time to it. It’s like a form of procrastination, except instead of procrastinating about chores/responsibilities, you’re procrastinating about your free time. In a way, some books/games kind of become a new “responsibility”, in that once you start them, you may feel obligated to continue. So then it becomes one more thing you “have” to do.

All first world problems, maybe not as high-stakes as Kanye’s problems, but problems nonetheless.

I think humans already have a weird ability to sort of assimilate tools and machines into our sense of self, such that the tools become an extension of our selves. The term tool embodiment came up when I tried looking up the phenomena and it seems to apply here. People with lost limbs can already feel fake limbs as a part of themselves, I think adding an extra thumb or whatever is child’s play.

I think the real question is, when are we going to start adding tentacles to ourselves?

paddirn ,

That’s how alot of these discoveries seem like. Partly it’s just science reporting hyping up anything that happens, but then for many of these astronomical discoveries, it’s just a couple of pixels on a screen. And then somehow they can infer all sorts of things about it based on that. It’s just mind-blowing to think of all the data they can get from that about stars that are millions of light years away.

paddirn ,

The money shot, if you will.

paddirn ,

So the experiment was a success then? What are we still doing here? Are we supposed to be writing Hamlet II: Electric Boogaloo? 2 Hamlet 2 Furious?

paddirn ,

I’m guessing their defense/diversion from all this will be to claiming it was a rigged trial for political purposes and/or talking about other people committing crimes, so why is Trump suddenly getting punished for committing a fake crime?

paddirn ,

They almost seem like just a “living” reproductive system, as if that’s the entirety of their existence. Like real-life Daleks going “IN-SEM-IN-ATE!”

Target Moscow

Best we can do is a slap on the wrist and some very severe finger-wagging.
