There’ll be plenty of ceremony. Years of it. Everyone will fix things slowly and methodically and everything will be half repaired by the time the next doofus comes to break things. assuming there is a next doofus and we won’t simply turn into the holy trumplican empire.
Candy apple? It works because you get the sour apple and sweet shell. One offers a palate cleanse from the other, allowing you to avoid sensory adjustment. If you don’t like sour, it’s not pleasant. But otherwise, I don’t get it
This is, perhaps, the funniest answer anyone could have offered. “No, but I’m losing track of the agency impersonations on the agency impersonation site.” Tumblr’s hilarious
Good small talk tutorial. Terrible everything else
Wait, is that the tumblr run by the dude who was sentenced for impersonating an official government account?
This looks so good that you’ll probably encounter nitpicking criticism, which is a fantastic achievement! Congratulations!
The thing that elder scrolls does particularly well is worldbuilding. They accept the public’s history with these races and either expand or reject them entirely, and it’s all done convincingly. You aren’t in medieval Poland with monsters and magic, you’re not in Tolkien’s playground of languages and places, you’re in Tamriel where everyone is just awful, and that’s okay.
Learning to quickly leave your notions behind is a fantastic. The “forget everything you learned in college” moments are a lot of fun, and I wish more franchises embraced that.
Focusing on the good times I had with them, the positive aspects I’d like to apply to my being, and commiserating over the horrors perpetrated by flawed individuals is usually what I do. My father loved animals and lifted people up in his own, peculiar way, but hated well over half of the people he’d ever met and rarely shied away from mentioning it. Everyone is flawed, but finding a mental framework for accepting them is still undeniably difficult. I wish you a nicely boring grieving period
If you’re crying that hard, you won’t be able to punish this next tech
“But [state] is actually pretty cool. They’re leading in-“
I really fucking hate that we’re only a few years away from low cost autonomous weapons. Those are only in like 5 or 6 of my favorite dystopia novels.
Were I to place a human ovum inside of a chicken and compel the fowl to expel it, would it then be a chicken egg? If I were to sign over my collection of specimen jars to a chicken, would they suddenly hold chicken embryos? Absolutely not. Chickens have not, nor will they ever own my human embryos, and I’d appreciate it if you’d stop giving them ideas
I can’t blame Reddit mods for putting up filters or Reddit filters on suspected bots. But I can definitely blame Reddit admins for ignoring or encouraging bots for the sake of metrics.
The number of accounts I found with thousands of posts to their own profile trying to game analytics was ridiculous
Biden stepped away from politics because of his waning health. It’s interesting to notice the difference in ethics between codgers
Lmao, people voted for this guy.
At least weekly, I remember that pirates stowed barrels of piss away so they could make detergent. Human urine has many uses, and all of them are horrifying
It’s nearly 2026. You can’t just tell people to go back into the closet
Is that a leotard and leggings? Give her a headband and leg warmers and she’d be indistinguishable from an 80s exercise video
Edit: I just found out Richard Simmons died.
Rip :(
Gift cards are a raw cash bump for stores perpetrated by idiots upon society. I’m rarely preachy irl, but gift cards always set me off. You’re just giving stores money for no reason. Why are you donating to Amazon? Bestbuy doesn’t need your money. I don’t even like massages.
You know what’s better than a gift card? Cash or making plans to just veg out for a couple of hours together. I will gut you like a fucking fish if you hand me a gift card. I will end your bloodline if you force me to call a phone line and register an account to access fucking money as a gift. You’ve inconvenienced us both. Just place the bills in an envelope and draw a smiley face on the front before I have to invent a hate crime
The issue is that the loopholes were cultivated for the purposes that trump is using them for. But he’s using them to create his own, unique keys to power. These aren’t niggling mistakes, they’re holes punched into the US’s power structure to be able to serve a regime’s keys to power. The keys to power in the US are wealthy people, for the most part. Elections cost money! Huge sums of it. And companies have that money. You can’t get elected without it. Necessary key to gain power.
Removing something your keys to power like is hard to do without losing them.
