i didn't think an Iran war would play out like the Millennium Challenge but apparently the pentagon is ready to give it a shot

a drone *boat* you said

I take 40 free throws every day I just don’t make a big deal out of it

legit considering tipping my driver’s ed teacher bc this is absolutely shredding his margins

on the 1 train and it’s full of teenage northern irish protestsnt tourists. you’ll never believe this but they’re taking up a lot of space that doesn’t belong to them

the fast food golden rule: if your boss takes a statin, the burgers earn higher ratin'

The CEO of McDonald's doesn't just need to take a bigger bite of that burger. He needs to regularly provide his LDL-C and ApoB levels, and they should be commensurate with daily consumption of McDonald's product

Low-res image of like a CG any character inside some kind of teleporter and it says, They are saying it’s no longer awesome to eat chocolate. (no longer awesome but mega awesome.)

and you have passed the seacrest news baton to me now

you could also use "keen" in areas with lots of Irish people

feel like the idea of generations having any sort of identifiable common attitude/perspective is one of those things that's true in a general vibes way but also leads to absurd overgeneralizations. when you try to apply it to serious social science or to understand individual people it breaks down

please stop using a demographic label, originally concocted by a canadian author to describe literally just boomers, then applied by american turbocapitalist haruspices in the 90s to determine whether a middle american mall should have one knife store or two, as a load-bearing personality substitute

this ad's a perfect excuse for a Rock Take: Cake wrote one of the most unlikely iconic sports hype-up anthems ever. "the distance" is like "song 2." it's an ironic/detached pastiche (song 2 : grunge :: the distance : rap-rock) that slaps so hard that audiences ignore the irony & love it earnestly

manhattan project: carefully coordinated partnership between the military, federal gov't, and universities based on collaboration and cooperation

silicon valley AGI attempt: a bunch of gigantic corporations waste time and billions of dollars making redundant versions of the same defective product

AI boosters love to compare their work to the Manhattan Project. obviously that's funny bc they don't see the ethical parallels. but AI overlords also don't understand that the MP worked because it was run by bureaucrats and academics, not private industry

I dont even think he's an edgelord, I think he has the brain of a late 2000s redditor who lacks the self-awareness to realize that he has the exact same intellectual flaws as Xtian fundies (literalistic readings, martyr complex, rigid dogmatic thinking, lack of empathy), but on the opposite team now

sending Good Vibes to your dad!

if this is happening to you a lot, I would consider rethinking your approach to these conversations rather than blaming everyone else. good luck kid

your inability to engage with text appears to be the through-line here because you dont understand a damn thing anyone says to you

you said "none of the theology actually matters" and that christianity is a mindless social club like an hour after you said "the bible literally instructs them to conquer the world." please help me my tiny brain can't keep up with such magnificent reason and logic

@thatdobson.bsky.social grew up fundamentalist & left, they know more about this stuff than you ever will. we're not even disagreeing with you that christian nationalists are bad, we're saying your take on why they're bad lacks nuance or engagement with the subject matter. plus youre being annoying

I understand your points because I used to make them as a junior in high school. you’re just wasting everyone’s time

“how about we send the kurds to ukraine” - the greatest thread in the history of the special activities center, locked by a branch chief after 12,239 pages of heated debate

not denying christian nationalists do bad things, that's obvious, but they're not stereotypical bible-thumping snake handlers who have a strict theological motivation for everything they do. they're motivated by power/greed/desire for dominance like everyone else

interesting post (ignore the reddit-ass website name). always felt like the "evangelicals want war in the middle east because they're trying to trigger The Rapture" was the flip side of saying that islamic terrorists attack the US and Europe bc they're crazed religious zealots. huge oversimplifying
