"platner demonstrates the disconnect between the online fart sniffers and real American communities"
ok but we're right? he sucks and is nazi adjacent? if he's tolerable to voters fuck them, and fuck every opinion peddler downplaying how awful he is?
it doesn't s unbelievable to me how many people mock barbers as low skilled work and/or use them as an example of regulatory overreach
yeah i actually do think you should need training and a license to put incredibly sharp blades and caustic chemicals on thousands of peoples' faces
we keep hearing over and over again that everyone LOVES LLMs and the only naysayers are a miniscule group of haters on bluesky; and then every single poll is like "I would trade my left nut to make this go away"
every single weapon
i unironically think one of the biggest headwinds facing Bernie Sanders in 2016 was the exact people who should have been his base where the people who thought "we've heard this all before from Obama, we got excited about him, and he was a shit sandwich, not doing it again"
i don't think a single person who actually worked for bluesky ever positioned it as this. they did the opposite
they couldn't find a picture of them on a jetski with their family and had to do it in text
as this is Fox News Host Hegseth i keep thinking of how Hannity's favorite insult was "they sit in their steakhouses and look down on you" and then a guy who worked in a NY steakhouse was like "Hannity eats an expensive steak here six days a week"
and (i'm the choir preaching to the preacher here) that "verboten" list is going to include every food coloring and preservative despite those things having no effect on nutrition or health!
this is a darkly hilarious duplication of the trajectory of "what is a woman" sickos
so it's a rare "what am i trying to do" game where there's NO GUIDES ONLINE. no "it's been an hour i'll look up just one hint"
If you're into Myst/exploration games, Hardland is one that grips me because 1) the dev has vanished 2) a lot of stuff has significantly changed since people wrote guides for it 3) i think a lot of stuff is unfinished?

no vaccines, roadkill only, final destination (as in death)
there is nothing Israel and the US love more than making a massive attack and then immediately saying "ok time out"
everyone is 12
not that all appointees aren't a cesspool of this shit, but there is NOBODY who thinks they're entitled to this life like influencers and tv hosts, not even lobbyist-addicted politicians
and we got a whole administration of them
repeating my theory that Milo was never gay, he just hated women so much he'd rather be touched by a dude
just like with Maduro, i think they predicted EXACTLY how the US would behave, and the US media dismissed it as paranoia, saber rattling, and propaganda
and it's always, always "reason for exclusion: i didn't like the study"
not any actual flaws, just "nah"
it's so funny that in this pepsi challenge you made to convince us AI is great, every one of the AI passages is 1) obvious and 2) sucks
you begin to understand why these guys gush over Nellie Bowles's "great writing"
i dunno, I do think Trump watches TV 22 hours a day and when he for example sees them talking about Epstein or Oil Prices he wants to Do Something so they talk about that instead, he's a crowd worker
Steam backlog update: dug out a little hidden gem i've not played before and know very little about, you may have heard of it, it's called Dead Cells
why was it that for a long time pizza was the only food you could get delivered
apologies to Adam Serwer but the irony of writing this in the Atlantic tho
"A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert – himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt" -GK Chesterton
last year some of my relatives were like "your car is 10 years old you should get an electric before Trump ends the electric subsidy" and i thought "no surely the economical thing is to keep driving this one until it dies before getting a new one"
they listed "GWB lied about WMDs" as a "top political conspiracy theory"!
"global anti-incumbency bias" like there's a global shared consciousness and not the objective fact of numerous governments in 2024 saying "we shit the bed and it's good that we did and you better roll around in it" and it was simply impossible for any of them to not do that
im so tired man we were out there shutting down his rallies with the size of our protests in 2016 while liberals scolded us that that was uncivil
