    P&R Funnies!

    "Country music lovers" and "sports nuts" could not have been more perfectly calculated to ensure that they've covered every single American if they'd tried.

    That was before the Republicans gained the power of Jedi Mind Tricking their constituents into forgetting or disbelieving anything inconvenient about them.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    "Low-yield" here meaning, I presume, an old-fashioned fission bomb. The kind that produces just as much fallout as the most powerful fusion bombs and doesn't even have the decency to spread it out over a massive blast radius. Literally more people would die slowly and painfully from radiation...

    Isn't that just baseline behavior for even the least awful politicians?

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Personally if I were living in Russia right now and they tried to call me up for the draft, I wouldn't just take off for the border, I'd take off for Ukraine in particular and try to see if their army would take me. Then again, if I were living in Russia, I'd have probably done that already.

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    The funny thing is, NFTs actually represent a step backwards for microtransactions, if anything. Because under the current system, the game's publishers hold all the cards. In-game items are often not transferrable at all, forcing anyone who wants one to buy it directly from the in-game store...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Even ones whose opening move was a random act of violence?

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    I can definitely see that turning into a slippery slope, where our idea of what's a safe place to live gets more and more narrow until we're all huddled together in the one place that the data shows has never been hit by a single natural disaster... only for the long-overdue natural disaster to...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    How does one go about removing judges, anyway? I assume the president doesn't have the authority to just replace any federal judge they want whenever they want.

    The dangers of religious privilege

    I'm curious if snake handling is legal in all 33 of those states. Because that's the usual case that's brought up when discussing the idea that freedom of religion has limits.

    The same people who are "dumb enough" to live in a state that's perpetually on fire, or in the middle of Tornado Alley, or on a volcanic island, or anywhere in the third world... It's not always a case of having a choice.

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Now the fun part: sitting back and watching what happens to the tech industry's master plan for a dystopian future where everything is based off those stupid things. Do they backpedal, or do they forge ahead on the hopes that they have the power to reshape the world according to their will...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Or it's possible the pipe just randomly sprang a leak because it was poorly made. Apparently that's a thing that happens. Remember how the one the US built a few years ago, under heavy protest, ended up developing a leak within only a month of being finished or something?

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Well, that or it's a race thing. Because I can tell you there are plenty of places in the world where the population is very much not declining, and it's almost entirely places where there are almost no white people.

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

    OK, can somebody explain this to me? I thought "the markets" are controlled by the kind of rich people who would love a policy like that. But it seems like the UK is so progressive that even the rich don't want policies that make them even richer???

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Nvidia has always kind of been the BMW of video cards, targeting people who think it's worth paying three times as much for a card that's 1½ times as good. AMD only has to remain comparatively affordable to keep their own niche. Ironically if anyone's going to shake things up it's going to be...
