If I have to choose between letting the world burn and throwing one marginalized group under the bus to stop it from burning... gonna be honest, the burning is looking pretty tempting. Especially since "stop it from burning" has proven time and time again to be only temporary anyway before the...

Reeeeally makes me hope Trump does something to piss off a good country enough to make them want to destroy us and then take us over.

Tesla's other models do look pretty mundane, to the credit of their designers, but aside from the early Model S's they still stand out like a sore thumb because they don't have big fake grills, in a world where everyone else is giving their vehicles massive cowcatchers.

Watch it just get bought by Elon Musk or someone equally horrible.

This is why I think the easiest way to win an election is to propose to eliminate all income taxes for people making under $80K or so. Most people in that bracket would jump at the chance, and even the others would have to think long and hard about whether they really want to give that up for...

I just found out that the Kick the Cheat plushie from Homestar Runner has been brought back after 18 years, courtesy of who else but Fangamer! Naturally they made a little commercial for it too.

The real issue is that people are drawn to all these free services because no one has any money to actually pay for things anymore. You can make all the open standards you want, but if you tell people they have to fork over real money to get a server, they're gonna go "nah" and go back to being...

He was. But now that's Trump. Trump has turned almost the entire party into a cult who legitimately think of him as a literal god, and will gladly throw anyone under the bus, past or present, if their vision for America doesn't align perfectly with his. Anyone who isn't in that cult doesn't need...

I do wish it didn't have to be Democrats saying those things, though. Like, the most charitable reading of the situation is that Democrats have taken over the vacant position of the Republican never-Trumpers in the hopes of shaming the shameless, and in the process leaving a vacancy of their own...

It's a good start. I want to see violence against these Nazi death machines escalate to the point where they become uninsurable and owners are afraid to take them out of their garages for fear of their actual lives.

It really does say only bad things about us as an entire species that the only time we can get along is when there's someone else more worth hating.

...we're screwed.

No, the worst thing they can do is is the British Labour Party strategy of acting limply on the sidelines until the public get sufficiently disgusted by the incumbents, and then using their supermajority to push all of the exact same fascist policies that their rivals did. As cynical as I am, I...

Yes? I'm used to insane people doubling down on the worst ideas they've ever had and staying locked in there for life.

No, it's a pretty recent thing from what I can tell. The big social-justice movement didn't even get started until around 2012, and for a while it seemed like they were a united front of anti-capitalism and anti-bigotry. The first I noticed signs of infighting was that left-coast city where...

Unfortunately there's also a big issue with attempting to court the progressive left now: it's been split into the death-to-capitalism crowd and the death-to-the-white-hegemony crowd, each of whom are now convinced that the other is a tool of the right.

Well hey, maybe they won't have to kick us out, then.

Just so you know, Steam does have the option of disabling its DRM when publishing a game. It's not publicly visible which ones did and which ones didn't, and I doubt anyone even cares which ones are which (including the Steam fanboys who love to drop in and well-actually anyone who complains...

NATO needs to kick us out starting yesterday.

So, funny thing about that verse he's invoking. "The rod of correction" is extremely vague language, and there's a very good chance it was a metaphor referring to measuring sticks. Back in Bible times and for quite a long time afterward, it was common for people in charge of things to own rods...
