Came to make sure this was represented, have an upvote.

The second feature for RotNerds, if you're making an evening of regrettable comedies, would absolutely have to be Hot Dog: The Movie.

Features David Naughton, the American Werewolf In London, the I'm A Pepper guy, the Makin' It guy, a true icon of the early 1980s.

Also features the line, "Now that's a girl I can take advantage of!" in reference to a girl who has just been handed and drank a large enough sum of mixed liquor to pass out on the floor.

Having lived through the 90s, in which the future I was promised (checks notes) got shipped to China in the name of seducing everyone to betray the local hardware store and go to Walmart instead

This take has a goldfish's memory.

We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn.

Transplants are incredibly strict about you not just wanting to live, but doing everything you can in order to live. It is good that the transplant went to someone with a sense of self-preservation. Utter waste on the likes of her.

Entirely possible the joint had something expensive added.

Sorry dude, he was Paypal mafia. He has never been anything but a rich kid playing with money - it has just been a very congenial environment for the already rich for some time. I know it's hard to accept that you were just colossally taken in by a huckster, but that is really what happened.

GenX here. Have never felt more middle childish.

I don't get excited about headlines, even if I have no reason to believe they are false.

That said, 9% seems... big. But I don't really know.

I don't have a firm position on this one that I feel is stable or fully defensible. I suspect this might be a case where a scumbag has to go free because as they say, prosecuting him does seem to set a pretty horrific precedent that you know damn well will be misused against everyone if allowed to be set.

At the same time, fuck this stooge, fuck him with a broomstick. I'm no loyal Democrat but he absolutely, without question, picked a fucking side and did everything he could to serve that side's interests at a crucial moment which did successfully result in years of chaos and irreparable damage to American society. Accelerationists get fucked with your "better to burn it down and start over" year zero Khmer Fucking Rouge Horseshit. I remember the day he pulled that shit and reading his smug statement like he was taking some historic stand for truth or whatever, and I have laughed my ass off when I think about him pacing back and forth in a room for years.

He currently has the life he deserves, whether they ever bother to prosecute, and that doesn't bother me a whit. In no real sense is he a journalist, he's an activist misusing a vulnerable social construct ("the press") for his own agenda. What actually is/was that agenda? I don't have a clue, other than some vague notion of Being A Powerful Man, maybe. He's a stooge for people who use the worst tactics to attain power. I would not piss on him if he was on fire.

They threatened children with guns.

The fiction of the last 30 years is revealed to those with eyes to see.

All this time the capital class and their lackeys have been saying "Russia is a our superfriend now and China wants to be democratic so we are helping them by using their slave labour and don't you feel guilty for questioning our supremely good intentions here!"

And meanwhile it's the same old global power struggle, but you can make SO MUCH using slave labour, it was just too tempting to send every bit of our labour - even our high tech - over to their factories.

Good thing they got rid of all those pesky regulations or the poors would be using the power.

This is just... wow. The breathtaking arrogance of it.

It's not often these swine can actually get a visceral reaction from me anymore, but wow. Time to get back to work on that Novelty Giant Cigar Chopper I'm working on.

Once I was in my teens and handing my money over to the tobacco industry because that made me very badass, I had a lighter, and what you would do is, first, you hold the flame up to the point where the spoon meets the stem and then yank the stem off so you get a long skinny bit of plastic off it. Then you'd snap off the "M" at the top, hold your lighter up to it until just starts to melt, and then stick it onto the upside-down spoon thing.

Toy mouse!

There was a time when Lifehacker was a place you could go for neat little things that could be accomplished with objects at hand to make life easier. There was such a time for many, many places on this great Internet of ours.

When the first NES came out I was over there with my C64 and my shoebox full of disks with games I hadn't tried yet like, lol suckers.

I wish I had seen this, there might have been a moment when we could've shifted some parental money from Nintendo to Commodore with the right campaign, and kept the Amiga going...

I will be one of many saying this: if you want to self-host you need to learn Linux. It can be done, but this is not like taking a pottery class and you don't really get to show anyone, the only people who will understand are people who are also able to do what you do. It's rewarding on many levels, but pleasure and sociality are not among those rewards. :>

I think that until the church does a few strong demonstrations that they are not fiddling with children anymore - like, say, a public commitment to turn all allegations of child abuse over to secular authorities, like Biden just did with the military - that they should not be allowed access to children that they don't produce themselves.

Just so you know, he removed the post and has apologized in here. As an ADHD myself, it's a pretty typical fuckup for people like us, but most of us tend to own it pretty hard once it's pointed out. Some don't, but this guy did.

edit: I did come here primed for disdain, but by the time I did he had handled it. Too bad he took a few hours and maybe lost a few people for good.
