  “FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don’t have to do anything difficult right now”

  New headline.

  Honestly there’s no legitimate reason to delay this unless you’re stalling for something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they will.

  And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The spectacle of it would certainly boost sales for a little bit. How much and whether it covers the development time, who knows.

  I’d do it on principle alone, but I’m a petty bitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo can sue me any day, I’m out here making RC hang gliders and making tiny 3 second games where the only purpose is to pull out a glider and put it away instantly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the capitalism way.

  “The company with the best, cheapest product will come out on top… Unless the shittier company has more money and lawyers and then they sue everyone else into the ground for even attempting to break into the market.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit like this is why I haven’t bought a Nintendo product in many years.

  They might think it’s keeping their profits up, but it’s hurting their business, as a lot more people than me feel the exact same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Must secure the castle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People around me put cones, trash cans, and even sawhorses to prevent people from doing this.

  I’ll be honest, I have gone two extra driveway spaces to put my tires on someone’s driveway that did this when I needed to turn around. Just out of spite.

  I get not wanting random strangers pulling in all the time, I used to get that all the time due to a U shaped driveway that Google used to direct people was a turn around spot for a missed turn. But it’s not a big deal, and unless I was asleep and my dogs woke me up I wouldn’t care.

  Now, parking on a random driveway while figuring out where you are is weird to me. And also fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding. You were visible from both sides of the road long before your radar can give you a reading. You did nothing but leech tax money.

  I have strong opinions on driveways depending on who you are and why you need it but mostly it’s “you do you booboo”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cavemen? Maybe 20,000 years ago.

  10,000 years ago we were planting crops and forming cities. They weren’t built to last the ages like Rome, but dirt cities are still cities.

  Besides, Ubumfejn-Hooga-booga is the FALSE GOD. The REAL God is Ubumfejn-Booga-Hooga. But nobody has worshipped her since 12,527 B.C.E. after a high-priest got drunk on fermented fruit and accidentally swapped the name while reciting The Old Ways, and who’s gonna correct the high-Priest?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨May the 4th be with you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by “un-snapping” the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of “oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife” or “who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now” all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.

  Oh and

  spoiler

  he dies in the process too

  . That’s probably more important to most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨May the 4th be with you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.

  I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.

  Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.

  I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently it was in the manual, but I'm just learning it now.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Found this out completely by accident once after my sister and I played some Mario.

  I had the 2nd controller still plugged in, and while shooting the ducks I stepped on the controller and the ducks moved differently.

  From the on, every time someone wanted to play duck hunt I would grab a second controller and make it harder for them.

  Bonus knowledge: the original game works by a light-sensitive sensor in the blaster tip, and when you pull the trigger, the screen goes black and a white square appears whee the ducks were, in a specific order. If the game controller detects the light square, it counts as a “hit” on whatever duck was in frame. You can cheat by pointing the blaster at a white light and pulling the trigger. It will just go through them one by one as you squeeze, thinking the light is the duck square.

  To continue with the argument of “the market will self-regulate and people wouldn’t buy that brand anymore so they would never do it again”

  Okay but how many people died, how many people are suffering long-term effects, and what’s stopping them from adding a different deadly thing to our food?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In heat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

  If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

  Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

  People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beachfront property⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At first I thought “wow, really? Only 8 seconds?”

  Count out 8 full seconds in your head.

  Now imagine you’re being hit by young teenagers with baseball bats.

  8 seconds is a LONG time

  Oh damn, that gave me flashbacks of trying to get my page to look the way I wanted it while knowing almost nothing about any type of coding…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨zoomers are the new blooners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re thinking of Lance Armstrong

  He was a tall, bald black man who was a great actor and starred in movies like John Wick, and also did voice overs for tons of games, including Destiny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elmo has claimed to be autistic at multiple points. Most recently to my knowledge, to try and excuse his nazi salute.

  So when RFK was drooling droning on about how terrible autism is, and how autistic people can’t use the restroom unassisted, by extension he was saying Musk can’t have a solo bathroom experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I get that america is failing if it's duty to suppress the rise of fascist but did the rest of the world just put all its eggs in the america basket?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone, everywhere, has a duty to stop fascism and help their fellow man, regardless of what ultimately insignificant speck of a human decided to put a line on a map.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is such a weird comment, full of “NiCd batteries aren’t good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can’t store the power” energy.

  It’s a test reactor, it’s meant to be smaller than the “big boys”, and in a few years it’ll be smaller and more efficient.

  Sure, it’s not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.
