78 school shootings in 2024... If anyone is keeping count.
JD Vance says that school shootings are just a "fact of life."
I wonder if all this rage and hopelessness is starting to find a more productive outlet.

Enshitified product exists - > good alternative arises to meet demand - > good alternative becomes popular - > good alternative either becomes enshitified to maximize profits or is purchased by owner of original enshitified product.
The capitalist way.

That's terrifying. Those stupid cops will kill your baby with a flashbang, shoot your dog and then murder you becauese you were holding the TV remote during their veggie raid.
Even if he really was growing some pot plants, it shouldn't even be a big deal.

‘Psychologically tortured’: California city pays man nearly $1m after 17-hour police interrogation
I like how each subsequent time the dollar amount is mentioned, you learn that the previous number had been rounded up.
Man awarded $1m is glad to receive $900,000. That $898,000 will make him feel better but is $897,600 really adequate compensation? However, it's kind of unfair that the tax payers end up footing this $897,550 bill.
It fits right in with this bad cop story.

Contrary to popular belief, we're all profoundly stupid. Even the smartest among us spend enormous effort in their struggle to comprehend our surroundings.

Yeah, you're real tough buddy. I'm sure you would have shot every cop. They'd learn real quick not to mess with you!

Anon self-improves
If they're happier with their gym routine than they are with their girlfriend, she's the wrong girlfriend. Anon did it right.

This happened to me at least 3 times.
I just watched that Linus tech tips video where the guy uninstalls critical system components by accident while trying to install steam.
First the GUI for the package manager refuses to do it, then apt gives him a warning that he's going to break his system. It even makes him type "Yes, do what I say!" but he's too much of a clown to read the warning messages all over his screen. He even smirks at the camera about how silly it is that he would need to type such a thing before he proceeds to mess everything up.
People were trying to defend him, saying that the system shouldn't have allowed him to do it or that the warnings should have been flashing and shooting rainbows out of the monitor or that a robot arm should have come out and started honking his clown nose to let him know he was doing something stupid.

Turns out that researchers get to name the proteins they discover and that the venn diagram of biochem researchers and nerds is just a circle.

Hold shift while you click start and shutdown (or reboot) when necessary. This will have windows do a full shutdown instead of a hybrid shutdown.

I'm a dumbass. Don't take the test at truetest.pro. It takes a while. At the end, you're feeling pretty clever for figuring out most of the puzzles. Then it won't give you the results unless you pay. I am we tod did.

TikTok resurfaces video of Trump saying US shouldn't have a president with felony conviction

I have no credibility or relevant qualifications. I'm just some random moron on the internet, but here's my opinion:
His base has been manipulated. They have a sunken cost. Each time something new and horrible comes out about Donald Trump, they have to either be OK with it or come to terms with the idea that they may have been wrong about him this whole time. They'll react emotionally to this dilemma as if being wrong in this case would constitute a personal attack on their character.
