these fucks always think this shit is so clever. ok bud, you better start actually identifying as a woman 24/7 and taking estrogen for a while. oh, you arent doing that? youre just engaging in a stupid ass, bad faith stunt because you dont understand anything? hm.

as an irrational hater of Buc-ee's, i feel so vindicated with this wave of bad PR they're getting

oh my god

hell, even on a lower scale, Walmart costs more than Aldi which costs more than Save-a-Lot, yet Walmart is huge. if cost were the sole concern, Save-a-Lot would be the biggest company in the world

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

My parents somehow adopted Scrappy-Doo

I need Marvel to fucking lock in and make a Spider-Man movie with Black Cat and Hobgoblin in it. We have what may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to adapt 80s Spider-Man, we gotta make the most of it

the way he just says it out loud is as confusing as it is terrifying

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

No I can't, and 🫵YOU🫵 can't either

Do you think you take a hit from a NFL player and not fumble the ball at your age?

saw that One Night Only trailer like 4 or 5 times without realizing the premise of the film. why is it like that? i thought it was just gonna be a cute romcom. we're getting The Purge, but as a romcom? what's the point???

how it feels to get election mailers and texts after you voted early

reminds me of how, in late 2019, my band was 🤏 this close to hiring a booking agent, and we would have gotten fucked, hard. so glad we decided against it

This isn't a relitigation of COVID, but a thing I think about a lot is how the happenstance of life means that for many, what you were doing and where you were in spring 2020 had a lot of long-term effects (positive and negative) on people's careers and lives. Random choices had big effects.

i dont use drafts. i fire from the hip. live fast, die hard

richie@theregoesrichie.bsky.social · last wk.

post your worst draft

had my new Les Paul set up on my coffee table for like a month now because the bridge pickup was microphonic and needed replacing. finally got it done last night, only after i accidentally desoldered the neck pickup and accidentally ripped the bridge pickup out. but it's all set up and ready now 👍

of course, if you think about this at all, it makes sense. anyone who is far enough into the pipeline to embrace being trans and is willing to take HRT is someone who has been thinking about this shit a lot. most people, even a lot of allies, think all of this moves much faster than it actually does

Doc Impossible@impossiblephd.bsky.social · 7d ago

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

something that's always "fun" in older FPSes is when you start a later episode and theyre like, "ok, youve got the hang of this game now" and throw a bunch of mid-episode enemies at you when you have your starting weapon and 3 bullets

i'm glad to see this line of questioning crop up. this shit is illegal, right? unless these are all deliberate publicity stunts to make their AI seem way more powerful than it actually is?? hm????

If I go on a hacking spree, it’s clearly covered under a variety of civil and criminal laws. If a robot does due to the negligence and incompetence of a person or company? That’s a little more complicated (for now), @lhn.bsky.social reports:

Xentrix are to me, "hype moments" thrash metal. very meat and potatoes, not really trying to challenge you emotionally, but they try really hard to write riffs that make you go, "damn that's sick af" and i will take that 10/10 times. i wish more bands tried this hard www.youtube.com/watch?v=um2h...

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

this is legitimately nuts lmao. i've always thought that genAI was primarily a vector for misinfo and fraud, but this is a whole new level. you cant even come up with a non-awful reason for this to exist. this is solely for bad actors on X to abuse for their shitty agendas

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · last wk.

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

this album rips, simple as. never drops below 10/10 for me until the last two or three tunes. this is probably the best of an exceptional bunch www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct3h...

Trump claims he’s going to replace migrant truck drivers with veterans

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

This is, near as I can tell, the dynamic at my job

furry hater@furry-hater.bsky.social · 2w ago

is it me or does anyone's friend group like this

what pisses me off is that, outside of about 4 months in 2020, these guys basically got what they wanted. life almost completely went back to normal; most people went back to work and events started coming back. and they're so fucking angry about it. what else did you dickheads want???

TUBERVILLE: Fauci killed 9 million people FOX BUSINESS: Yeah. We can't prove that, right? TUBERVILLE: We can

I still thank the heavens that my heavily conservative grandparents got the vaccine before vaccine skepticism really crystallized on the right. I don't really want to imagine what would have happened if they had to wait a few more months

Micah@rincewind.run · 2w ago

man I will just never get over the fact that the collective response to the pandemic, and an absolutely miraculous vaccine development, was to destroy public health in this country and smear everyone involved I generally take a positive view of humanity overall but it's so depressing

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

really funny because Jensen Huang JUST said that these guys have gotta stop doing shit like this, but Sam Altman simply cannot help himself

The 'singularity' refers to the point at which AI outpaces human intelligence and becomes difficult to control.

One of my favorite quirks in KOTOR is that it has a very well written romance arc in it, and if you dare try to talk to the character after the climactic moment of it, you can set the internal counter tracking the arc's progress one past the specific number needed to finish it at the end of the game

victoria zeller🫛 (RISEBALL, summer ‘27)@dirtbagqueer.rocks · 2w ago

playing KOTOR for the first time in the 2020s was very instructive for me. all of bioware’s unfortunate creative quirks and baroque inefficiencies have always been there

it really is fucking nuts that the richest man in the world, with unbelievable amounts of influence on world politics and the economy, just openly posts ideas from The Turner Diaries, and it isnt even talked about. the media writ large just pretends nothing is happening

There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

Finally watched Obsession. I understand what all of the hoopla is about, great film
