  They were a lot better before Trump 1. Then they purged literally every member of their staff that was even slightly liberal, and their humor went with them. Every so often the bat finds the pinata.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New executive order puts all grants under political control⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve already got RFK doing that. The State Dept has also adopted pseudohistorical stances, and the Education Dept being cut is so they can teach those stances as fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeasty⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, some companies still put inedible chemicals like bleach or ammonia on their food trash to make it completely useless “as a legal measure” because otherwise homeless people who eat expired food might sue (according to the bean counters).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is, or was (thanks RFK for handing the industry a blank check), how pharma development works. You don’t even get to do human trials until you’re pretty damn sure it’s not going to kill anyone. “Experimental medicine” stuff you read about is still medicine that’s been in development for YEARS, and gone through animal, cellular, and various other trials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you can find a buyer who will process that crypto, without touching either of those payment processors. All the crypto evangelists seem to forget the major crypto payment platforms are in use because you can actually rapidly exchange your crypto for that thing you can actually pay your rent with - but those function largely on the backbone of big payment platforms to trade that crypto into cash for the merchant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to make these when I sold cellphones. So much sock money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The worm that keeps getting put into payment processor’s brains is that they might somehow be held criminally liable for games people purchase. It’s like telling a bus driver that they might be liable because they gave a ride to someone who robbed a store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because DOGE is still running on Elon Musk’s strategy of “move fast, break things, and don’t fix anything until shit’s on fire”. People won’t be dying in concentration camps because of DOGE, they’ll just be homeless and probably half-dead of starvation (because of the repeal of the PFDA).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfire⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except Collective Shout is Australian (which is unsurprising, considering that AUS is also a hotbed of hate groups).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're completely serious⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. It’s not that soft tissue DOESN’T fossilize, it’s just that the conditions to do so are much rather, and soft tissue is obviously much more susceptible to degradation before fossilization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, salesperson. Please fondle my underwear before I buy it. And judge me for what I choose.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting food/clothes/necessities, no you fucking didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, media companies have been doing this for years now, and now the gaming industry has figured out the “cancel something and claim the potential profits as a tax writeoff”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pocket knife⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why bother disposing of the corpse when they can just tell the media you were resisting arrest. Interesting fact: corpses can’t press charges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Missouri AG: Any AI That Doesn’t Praise Donald Trump Might Be “Consumer Fraud” (No, Really)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shortest was actually James Madison. 5’4".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok AI to be available in Tesla vehicles next week, Elon Musk says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mechahitler*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future teachers in Oklahoma!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just most education systems in America. You’re autistic or have other learning disabilities? Fuck you.

  Unless you’re in a wealthy school district without easy access to a specialized school for “those people”, your options are limited if you’re in public school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religion choices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Benny Hinn?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, unless you’ve got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to Tidal and love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minnesota Shooting Suspect Allegedly Used Data Broker Sites to Find Targets’ Addresses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump May Launch Wireless Phone Brand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re missing the point. The admin has full control over spectrum licensing. This means Trump could easily have the FCC just revoke all other spectrum licenses for cellphone comms, and just forcibly seize those towers. Don’t look at it like it’s going to operate like a corporation, because I promise you it won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump May Launch Wireless Phone Brand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  See, here’s the thing when you’re the President. You can just have your FCC chair shut them down. You can actively quash literally any boundaries to being a monopoly, and nobody can do anything about it (from a legal or regulatory standpoint).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claims⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. It’s just engineers telling it to concoct a scenario in which it would avoid being shut down at cost of human life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook advertised a professional child kidnapping service to me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They also close down and rename all the time for exactly this reason. It makes it awfully hard to do anything when the court records say We Fuck Up Your Kid LLC hasn’t existed for 3 years. There’s also often layers of legal shells that need to be peeled away too - a lot of them hire teens and young adults partly because they don’t know the law and are easy to throw under the bus when someone DOES die, and they’re easy to threaten into silence. That also doesn’t get into the complicity of local LEOs, town and state governments, and just outright lying - my former boyfriend wound up in one before he killed himself, and to everyone on the outside, they were just told it was a mental hospital for teens, thus, anything they told you was a lie.*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially since you can see the cop in question pointing his weapon directly at her and her news crew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Southern Baptists target porn, sports betting, same-sex marriage and 'willful childlessness'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same thing Russia is doing. They want to make it illegal to choose not to have kids if you’re a married woman (and then they’ll start penalizing not being married).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British photojournalist hit during Los Angeles protests to undergo emergency surgery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sending war journos would definitely send a message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take a shot of vitamin M and keep fighting, Soldier!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you get a way to craft them and can make the most broken bullshit imaginable (Skyrim).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone should convince Trump to wear colorful robes or a uniform and a fancy hat.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, he’s not that kind of dictator. He doesn’t need to feel like he’s in the military - he needs to feel like he’s above them, on top of them as it were. The big military parade isn’t for him to feel like a general - it’s so he can copy his authoritarian friends without actually having the military cred himself to back it up. It’s cargo cult dictatorship.
