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

    They doubled down on the "deplorables" thing, why are you surprised they're doubling down on "weird"?

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Well, that's the funny thing. This is the first time I've heard of a company claiming that an arbitration clause prohibits a court from even hearing a case. Every other time I've heard about one, it's worded something like "If you do sue us outside of a small claims court, we'll permanently ban...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Yeah, it's easy to talk about how delusional the youth must be to want to give up on our whole political system and stage a communist revolution, but then I see news like that and I'm like... maybe we should give it a go after all? What do we really have to lose?

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    I mean, if Trump wins, there will be a huge uptick in people trying to start a revolution, no doubt. Especially once he gets rolling on his plans. And given the choice between fascism and even the worst thing that can come from a leftist revolution, I'd be hard pressed to not root for them. But...

    I love how X managed to choose the exact frame to thumbnail that makes them look the most like smug douches.

    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    That's wild. How long has this policy been in place? I'm curious if it's a reaction to relatively recent events, or something that's left over from colonial times when they were still technically separate countries. Or sometime in between for reasons I can't even guess at because I know next to...

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Hey, speaking of websites that the UK should block, police trying to stop the riots are currently being prevented from doing their job properly due to spam from 4channers. And what's worse, I had to find out about this on Know Your Meme of all places.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Is Rogan really such a big deal that his opinion could swing the election? I always got the impression that he was on the fringe even back when he was that guy with no strong opinions one way or the other about anything. A fringe moderate, if you will.

    Borderlands coming to the big screen

    I suppose in the right hands, it could have ended up like Guardians of the Galaxy. I've always gotten the same vibe from the Borderlands games that I got from those movies, a mix of try-hard quirky humor and supposedly-ironic dudebro energy. Personally I find that vibe hard to stomach at the...

    Maybe not right this exact moment, but I bet that photo was taken in California.

    "Too big to rig." Damn, wish we'd come up with that one.

    Oof. Who's old and tired now, old man? Really looking forward to him bringing this same lack of energy to the next two debates.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    It's both-sides-y because this is actually a situation where both sides are being awful and it's the right thing to do to condemn them.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Mistaking something you stumbled across that's years old for something that was just posted is a tale as old as the internet... or at least as old as the internet having stuff that's years old. I remember a PSA comic about all the dumb mistakes people make on the internet, and that one was...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Not half as bad as I was expecting from the description. The dude who asked probably won't even consider it an unsatisfactory answer. I was expecting either a complete non-answer or even saying that his kids aren't working hard enough.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    In hindsight, that was a stupid way to deal with the phone monopoly, because all it did was make a bunch of smaller regional monopolies. We should have gone with the other option that was on the table, nationalizing the phone system.

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

    Yeah seriously that just makes him better in my opinion. Think about how many Democrats supported the war before they were against it; it sounds like he opposed it from the start. I mean, jeez, even Trump condemned the Iraq War at one point. I thought we were pretty much settled on this, like...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I'm not sure how much that would help. It's not like Google is going to spin up its own competitor to YouTube; they literally already tried that in the 2000s and it failed miserably, and there's a reason none of the other big players in the tech industry have tried since. Android could be...

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

    Let me guess, one's ex-army and the other's an ex-marine so each of them considers the other to have only been a "fake" soldier? I get that rivalry between military divisions is something the government did on purpose to try to avoid the chance of a coup, but egad is it the dumbest jive when...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    In a rare bit of good news, it's been ruled that Google has an illegal monopoly on internet search. Well, I say good news, but I'm not really sure what that's going to mean for them going forward. It sounds like they might be forced to cut off their arrangements with other companies where they...
