    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Yeah, well, better get on the ball inventing a better battery then. Like you should have been doing for the past few decades now.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Good luck with that when it's already cost her the nomination for her own incumbent seat in Congress. Seriously, how often do incumbents get primaried out? Almost never. But going against the MAGA grain made it happen.

    The Weird Al Thread

    In all likelihood Al has had a pretty mundane life aside from the part about being one of the funniest songwriters of all time, which we already knew. If a famous entertainer has a life that's anywhere near as eventful as their career in entertainment, at least 9 times out of 10 it's not for...

    Everyone's a critic: Brought to you by viewers like YouTube

    I can relate. I unfollowed Tony Goldmark specifically because of his habit of responding to his nastier critics in the form of retweets rather than keep it in the reply threads where only the truly dedicated would ever see it. There are exactly two reasons I can think of why somebody would do...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    It changes one big thing: If it is some major foreign power like Russia, there's pretty much jive-all we can do about whatever they're plotting to do. But people inside the US are under the jurisdiction of the DOJ and the FBI. They would be able to follow the chain of suspects as far as it might...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    ...Something just hit me. We've been talking about this as if foreign governments are the only ones who could get any use out of the intel he had. But Trump has other allies who wouldn't hesitate to use force against the US. Ones who live and operate within our own borders. The same kind of...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Also, Biden can say whatever he wants but it doesn't mean jive if he's not backing it up with action. Pissing off his enemies is not going to magically make them disappear, or fail to show up at the polls, or really accomplish anything. And as for his own voters, the same people who say he's...

    I mean, they let Trump hire them even though everyone else knows by now that he won't actually pay them. That means either they're extremely dumb, or they have connections with the kind of goons who can make his death at their hands look like an accident even though he's a major public figure...

    The 2022 Midterms Thread

    So that's two now, unless there are more that I missed. At exact opposite ends of the country, funnily enough, which makes it easy to remember at least.

    Wait, Alaska has ranked-choice ballots? Since when? How did I miss that?

    Recommended Switch games? (Other than BotW and Hades)

    You might as well ask how games in general explain your ability to rewind time to before you died. Most don't. In Enter the Gungeon, you're trapped in a place where the usual rules of space and time no longer apply as a result of the chaos energy released when the Great Bullet crashed into it...

    There are two reasons I can think of for why he might have intended to purposely hand those documents over to enemy states—particularly those he doesn't even like. One is that he planned it to be a "set the place on fire on his way out" kind of move after running out of options for staying in...

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    We also weren't closing our borders and forcing everyone to stay home for two weeks, which is what the countries that actually took decisive action against COVID were doing in early 2020. Why wasn't that necessary back then?

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Something I've been thinking about lately... COVID-19 is literally a variant of SARS, the virus that caused a minor scare back in the 2000s but was so well contained that it never became a real problem anywhere. What did people do back then to successfully contain it, and why didn't they do it...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I will say, even with my faith in humanity at its most withered state, if Trump actually flees the country under explicit threat of arrest for federal crimes and tries to still run for president from Argentina or whatever, I do expect the Republican Party leadership will draw a hard line there...

    Recommended Switch games? (Other than BotW and Hades)

    I know one game you shouldn't get on the Switch: Cult of the Lamb. I'm told its port is hot garbage.

    Saints Row

    Wasn't 2 the one that also made gender a slider rather than a pick-one-or-the-other situation? Granted, between the game's overall wackiness and the fact that they got rid of it in the next game, I'd suspect it was done that way as a joke more than anything else, and a joke they came to feel was...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Also, Singer should be careful; I think Twitter's rules consider reposting any statements made by banned users to be "ban evasion" even if you're posting it to make fun of them.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Hold on. Loomer was running against a guy named "Daniel Webster"? Did I already make a "The Devil and Daniel Webster" joke? There's so much low-hanging fruit these days that I'm forgetting which ones I've picked.

    Police behaving badly

    I mean... I can clearly see from the thumbnail that he's black. His statement is bullshit, yes, but maybe accusing him of being a literal Klansman is over the line in this case? Don't worry, you'll have plenty more opportunities to whip that one out; I'm sure there'll be another case of officers...
