…will fuck you up!

I won’t feel relieved until we get confirmation what the substance was.

There have been too many mentions of a potentially deadly mercury compound, to be used against political enemies floating around in social media comments for my killing.

I still like claiming the free games even if I don’t have any immediate intention of playing them, simply because I like the idea of developers getting paid, and Tim Sweeney losing money!

It honestly feels like original and creative works are exclusively the domain of indie developers nowadays.

Given how bloated AAA budgets have become, publishers seemingly don’t want to risk taking a chance on some more whacky ideas - at least until an indie dev proves it out first.

We are at a point now that games from the PS3/X360 era still look and play well, so newer titles need to contribute something new in order to make an impact.

If a AAA-studio releases a 7/10 title in 2026, it’s not just competing with the 8s, 9s, and 10s also releasing the same year - but also every single such title from the past 20 years!

This will also only continue to get worse in coming years as the backlog of exceptional titles will continue to build.

Hey, it could be worse… you could also share a birthday day, month and suit with the man! shudders

Maybe not to the rest of us, but it is news to the MAGA crowd!

Democrats attempting to protect Americans from the repercussions of their own choices, and getting criticised for it - while Republicans speedrun towards a techno-fascist feudalist future.

There’s nothing wrong with you; it’s not uncommon to share some ideals with people across the full political and social spectrum.

Even ol’ Tuckey here can be right every once in a while - even if the rest of the time he’s an otherwise unredeemable arse.

I guess horseshoe theory isn’t all that far off, hey?

But again, it’s not a bad thing in this case - sometimes they come up with the right idea, even if for the wrong reasons.

As a non-American, I find that whole concept absurd - and that’s before learning of its ties to monarchy!

Qualified immunity; because there is no explicit guidance against police “shooting blonde, female Australian news reporters live on the air while covering an LA protests against ICE on a weekend” - he will be let off with a stern talking to, and a wink.

They’ve largely disappeared, as the foreign disinformation campaign has successfully concluded. Only the most pretentiously loud and gullible are left.

What do you mean by News Max onboarding - did Disney buy NewsMax?! …or am I misunderstanding?

Has there ever been a person elected president who has so convincingly lost their home district/state? Besides Trump 2016 and Trump 2024, that is.

Given that most of the delay in building more/denser housing in California is due to NIMBYs fearing a drop in property values…

…what’s to stop them from calling the cops on people living out of their cars on the street in front of their house?

This entire proposal is beyond stupid, and is one of the underlying causes of the rise in right-wing populism all over the US.

What the Government should do is use the threat of Eminent Domain and buy out a ~dozen houses in a certain block, tear them down and build ~100 affordable apartments for families (i.e. 3+ bedroom, 2+ bathrooms) in their place - and make them available to lower-and middle income families on a rent-to-own basis.

If neighbouring plots complain, threaten them with Eminent Domain also, and continue on until the entirety of the unhoused population is accounted for.

First rule of tech disruption is to ignore patents/laws and get a big enough footprint to be able to fend off the eventual litigation. Given this is China, they can mandate implementing it on mainland devices for the initial wave, and roll out later revisions into adjacent regions over time once it’s taken a foothold.

Tech bros, libertarians, contrarians and people who don’t ’follow politics’.

Dude’s a billionaire, he very likely has a team of people whose sole responsibility is to keep him out of the news and/or media, unless explicitly allowed.

Only Elon Schmuck (and maybe Kanye West) are deranged enough to think they can manage their public presence positively.
