  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  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”.

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

  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.

  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.

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨Southern Baptists target porn, sports betting, same-sex marriage and 'willful childlessness'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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).

  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.

  You would be incorrect. Many wealthier high schools put a ton of money into their sports facilities and equipment. Several HS in my state operate 10-thousand-plus-seating stadiums that look a lot like collegiate or semiprofessional facilities.

  3. The schools that aren’t underfunded have millions of dollars in funds earmarked for sports usually.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No no, don’t try to boil it down to “they want us fighting each other”. Those wealthy people, and a good chunk of those poorer people, actually truly believe in the things they are saying. A lot of them TRULY, DEEPLY BELIEVE that they have to shout this and spread the word because the stakes are nothing less than literal life and death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, yes. Donate what food you can, but I promise they have enough cans of beans, bags of rice, etc to last until Jesus comes. Especially because different areas have different people - one local pantry might just need a little bit of everything, while another one on the north side of your city needs a lot of vegetarian and halal options because of the people it serves in that area. Especially, donating money lets that food bank get things that aren’t strictly necessary, but can make life that much more bearable - pastries, cookies, candy, snack foods, etc. Sure, it’s not healthy and I can hear you all sighing from here, but imagine this is your sole source of food for the month. Having a package of shelf-stable Little Debbies or whatever can seriously make your day just a little more bearable, instead of going “oh boy beans and rice for the 23rd time this month.”
