While I'm sure the US is majorly overstepping, this image is clearly pushing a narrative which benefits from making the demands as ludicrous as possible.

And of course randos ALWAYS choose to sit in the corner next to you when the entire row is empty.

Why, straight into the pockets of everyday Americans, of course!

Huh, TIL

When snails copulate, two penises enter two vaginal tracts. Both snails in a pairing transfer sperm, but whichever snail got in the best shot with the dart has a better chance of ultimately fertilizing eggs.

First they stab eachother. The better the stab, the more effective the stabber's sperm will be. Then they exchange fluids. Then they settle down, buy a minivan, and waste away in an office until they die.

I can't believe Arthur, my favorite celebrity, gave in to corruption and became a sellout. Now I'm questioning everything. Is the library even fun?

If you ever listen to Vance

Imma stop you right there. You lost me.

Extra crazy because he didn't even speak poorly of Charlie or say any distasteful comments. He didn't even really make a statement about the situation at all. He just said MAGA is trying to categorize the shooter as not them and played some clips of Trump being 100000x more interested in the new Whitehouse ballroom than the public assassination of his dear friend.

You can't cancel someone over comments they didn't make. This is pandering, plain as day. Same reason Colbert got canceled.

It grows next to shrew bars and microbreweries

There is malware that can infect you simply by opening an office document. One of the cooler security trainings I've been through was a recorded demo of it. Opened a doc on one computer, enabled editing, then another computer was able to extract credentials from ram or something.

No, you're wrong. Every wishlist is a guaranteed sale on launch day. When people see that number tick from 0.5937.5 to 1.0, they can't help themselves. It doesn't matter if they wishlisted it 10 years ago and forgot the game exists. The trick is, they have to see it on launch day in an automated email. Otherwise the sale is lost for good. Literally every true gamer knows this.

HA HA, ME TOO, FELLOW HUMAN. HUMAN EMOTIONS ARE SO UNOPTIMIZED AND ILLOGICAL.

Engagement bait

I still hold firm that the first steam controller is GOATed and it only failed because the world wasn't ready for it yet.

For those, like me, who haven't seen these texts

Robinson: drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.
[When the roommate looked under the keyboard, there was a note that allegedly read: "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."]

Roommate: "What?????????????? You're joking, right????
Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

Roommate: you weren't the one who did it right????

Robinson: I am, I'm sorry

Roommate: I thought they caught the person?

Robinson: no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering.

Roommate: Why?

Robinson: Why did I do it?

Roommate: Yeah

Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out.

Robinson: If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it.

Roommate: How long have you been planning this?

Robinson: a bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't wanna chance it

Robinson: I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle.... I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpas rifle ... idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn't have the ability or time to bring it with.... I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints. how the [expletive] will I explain losing it to my old man....

only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel....

remember how I was engraving bullets? The [expletive] messages are mostly a big meme, if I see "notices bulge uwu" on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna have to leave it, that really [expletive] sucks.... judging from today I'd say grandpas gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope;-;

Robinson: delete this exchange

Robinson: my dad wants photos of the rifle ... he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. Hes calling me rn, not answering.

Robinson: since trump got into office [my dad] has been pretty diehard maga.

Robinson: Im gonna turn myself in willingly, one of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff.

Robinson: you are all I worry about love

Roommate: I'm much more worried about you

Robinson: don't talk to the media please. don't take any interviews or make any comments. ... if any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent

I see. Video games cause violence. Guns had nothing to do with it. Mandatory id, facial scanning, and government reporting on all video game platforms is totally cool and justified. /s

Will someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to make new friends under 60 and have consistent daily "human experiences" outside of a city center?

I'd love to give up my phone and possibly TV... if it everyone else does too so there are other humans to interact with. Society is in a depressing cath-22 of loneliness.

Though it can't be impossible. Group hobbies, sports, etc exist. Just gotta pick one and go to meet ups. But phone is so much easier 🤤

For the first few years, when it had no profit motive, no way to earn money, and was just willingly bleeding cash to gain market share, it was great! That is the first stage of enshittification and they are now on to stage 2: making the platform good for the real target audience, advertisers.

Reddit. Unfortunately it's defunct beyond repair now, but back in the day it was a nice place to discuss all sorts of topics with knowledgeable and like-minded folk.

It averages out to medium talk.
