I think taste is my biggest impediment to anything social because I can get along with people fine but in order to do anything with them you have to have some overlap of enjoyment and there's just vanishingly few people I meet who are consistently into the same SPECIFIC vibes I am.

You have a PR department you pay to deny responsibility and a legal team you pay to tell you not to do these things and you ignore all of them because you have cooked your brain completely.

Something that took me a while to understand is that a lot of people ask a question aloud hoping to find other people who are interested but also ignorant, so hearing the answer directly isn't *helpful* it's *disappointing and embarassing*.

The funny thing about the defund the police, woke 1 debate is that defund the police is just a correct policy position from a pragmatic point, what's the point of pretending that police budgets and power aren't an issue?

Rarely, a simulation is better than reality

Public service for those who didn't/couldn't see it Happy Thursday :)

Lol the bean thing makes a lot of intuitive sense if an AI upscaler is trying to figure out how the pixel boundaries on a small image are *culinary* details in a much larger one

It should go without saying but it's definitely MORE antisocial to leverage a voluntary social transaction in the name of hawking whatever nonsense your ad provider serves than it is for a given user to block those ads.

I’d really like to enjoy Breath of the Wild as much as I enjoy other Zelda games and I deeply appreciate a lot of the design choices and I’ve given it an honest try a couple times and just cannot vibe with it

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this. The first Alan Wake. It was atrocious. It was tired with Stephen King references, and a story that was severely lacking. I didn't care for it. At all. The second game, however, was excellent.

There is no such thing as being skilled at managing people in the meat packing business then getting fired and mastering the sneaker business then getting fired and mastering the whatever the fuck business. That isn’t real. The results speak for themselves

Go ahead, upload more slop. Ask a chatbot to imagine what food looks like. Buy up every domain and fill them all with fake blogs by fake people with fake interests. Give me ads where a woman with morphing hair and a variable number of breasts asks if I'm tired of jerking off alone.

Kid: <goes bolting down the hall arms behind her then stops on a dime and does the Griddy, continues running down the hall arms behind her> Me: what was that Kid: Working on a Naruto Griddy homerun celebration for kickball

Me: How was school today? Daughter: We played vampires at recess. We were on a pirate ship. Me: <furiously writing in my pitch notebook> Cool. Then what Daughter: And then we were pirate vampires sailing around taking other pirate ships and daddy what are you writing

Lol, just posted about this, Wolfenstein: The New Order. Doom (2016) leaned into the high octane classic FPS formula, Wolfenstein sought to get away from that with story and stealth but those were only passable and I was playing the game to shoot Nazis.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.

I'm very much a Utilitarian in the sense that I like to completely describe a result state and whatever path we successfully chart is what it is, but I've seen a lot of people wriggle around over branding and wording and the results aren't good enough for nazis anyway. Don't bother, be clear

PSA to any restaurant: pick up a smartphone, cook some food, take a picture close up. It will 100% of the time look more like food I want to eat than whatever the fuck this is.

oh wow r/washingtondc found the worst one i've seen so far

This is such incredible advice for anyone about to have a take on something. You could simply not!

Videogame CEOs, consider the exciting opportunities afforded you by shutting the fuck up.

That news article about dobby's grave may not have been real but that doesn't mean your *hatred* of him and the friendships you strengthened weren't real. Cherish those bonds 😌

I feel like I'm strongly in the minority but I found the Wolfenstein reboot's story to be silly enough that I dropped the game when it kept forcing me through lulls for plot dumps. I came here for more Doom and Painkiller and they SORT OF did that but they refuse to let me build momentum

“You can’t even go to the mall no more without a parent. You can’t go to the movies no more — they’re asking for a parent and stuff like that,” said Ahmir Peterson, 16, a student at Kenwood Academy High School. “There used to be teen jobs, but those jobs are taken by adults.”

Chicago teens on ‘takeovers,’ curfews, and lost community spaces — Investigative Project on Race and Equity

A summer of viral Chicago gatherings, arrests and City Council debate has renewed old questions about race, public space and who gets to be young in public.

Every time I hear someone talk about "the west" everything they say takes on a comedic tone to me, like I'm conversing with an Always Sunny side character

I have never felt more strongly that all these mfs want life to be grade school

The Deftones' last record was really good

ES6 is a fake game until proven otherwise but did you all know that there's a whole ass free game made in Skyrim that has way better exploration, progression, combat and RPG systems than Skyrim itself does?

Even if this would have happened regardless of who the mayor of NYC is, Mayor Mamdani is raising political consciousness by bringing to the forefront the massive never ending effort of labor which maintains and reproduces this city, which is the only livable one in any of these dog states of america

As Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said yesterday, “the original J/Z isn’t doing so well.” That’s why we’re working with Governor Kathy Hochul — using congestion pricing funds to renovate Chambers Street and partnering with the MTA to tackle extreme heat in our subway stations.
