We need to stop giving Trump (and the other neonazis that have surfaced in his wake) the village-idiot or bat-shit-crazy pass and treat him as though his actions are lucid and calculated. We can assess the state of his brain during autopsy. Until then, he’s a traitor and domestic threat to the United States, and we should treat that threat as seriously as its consequences merit.
Naw it’s more like “we did something we knew would make you incredibly uncomfortable; but now that you’re screaming we’re worried about the neighbors hearing it and we don’t want the cops called on us, so we’ll back off until a more opportune time.”
I know Bethesda has been historically pretty chill with modders… but every time I see an update on Skyblivion I worry they’re gonna pull a Nintendo and fuck the whole project.
No no no - humans are closest to chimps, and if their current state is any indicator of the evolutionary path we broke off from, we descended from a bunch of clever but violent assholes, which says a lot about our current state
Orangutans are chill as fuck - get that evolutionary juice flowing and step aside to make way for Earth’s real master race!
I’ve only known a handful of psych students, but even as students they knew enough about the Myers-Briggs to recognize it as pseudo-science bullshit. Sad to hear that’s not universal.
Yeah… I’ve been rejected from jobs for not popping an “ENTJ” or whichever fucking Harry Potter house their overgrown facebook quiz was supposed to sort me into. People -with authority- absolutely horoscope em.
…with that anecdote in mind, I maaaaay be a tad biased.
What it’s meant or actually useful for, vs how it’s used in contexts like employment are significantly mismatched.
It’s like understanding what a framing hammer is supposed to be used for and how to do so properly and safely, only to turn the news on and learn that the general population is somehow convinced that they’re for eye surgery; and thousands of ER visits later, from dumbasses who DIY’d that shit and popped their eyes, the general population has learned… not a damn thing… they’re still bashing their eyes apart with framing hammers.
It’s kinda like swatting a mosquito off your friend. Might startle them a bit at first, but once they see the intentions were good, they’ll understand.
…aight so fuck Israel in a “your genocide is abhorrent and you don’t deserve any support from anyone” kind of way, but if we’re going to support a genocidal ethnostate anyway, at least we’re doing it in a way that stops civilians from betting blown up, as opposed to handing them half a military’s worth of bombs for them to drop on other civilians.
Now that that’s taken care of, could we maybe take the we’re planning on sending over to Israel for them to do even more genocide with, and send them to Ukraine or something so they can fight against genocide instead?
By now, everyone in the world knows that American tipping culture is getting out of hand. That doesn’t mean you can’t introduce another way of “supporting” creators. Mike Ybarra, the former president of Blizzard, shared his desire to tip developers of especially enjoyable games....
I mean, his delay tactics have worked time and time again. He’s found an effective tool to circumvent our justice system. This isn’t desperation, it’s systemic judicial failure.
No - it comes with a seasoning packet, a pouch of crispy fried onions, a chili paste packet, oil (sesame?) packet, and some kind of sauce packet that looks like soy sauce but doesn’t taste like it… /shrug.
For best results, save the fried onion until JUST before you eat it, and sprinkle it on top - stays crispy that way.
Also if you put an egg in the water as soon as you put the pot on heat, it’ll be perfectly soft-boiled when the noodles are ready.
Donald Trump, a 77-year-old Bible salesman from Palm Beach, Florida, has emerged as the nation’s most prominent Christian leader. Trump is running for president as a divinely chosen champion of White Christians, promising to sanctify their grievances, destroy their perceived enemies, bolster their social status, and grant them...
Nice. I remember thinking even in his initial campaign for 2016 that if he wins, there might be a silver lining of benefit we could get out of it, in the same way that a hangover is beneficial for an alcoholic: it’ll suck, but it might slap some sense into people who wake up that next morning and decide they’re never letting that happen again.
…unfortunately that didn’t really happen on a large scale, but this hits close enough to that mark that I’ll take it.
I got fat af when I was piss broke. When I could start to afford things other than carbs, the lbs starting going away.
I get there are people even more broke who can’t even afford rice, but don’t assume that being fat and being poor run contrary to each other. Shit food is cheap.

I used to work in food service - I remember one day they replaced all the pans with new ones that had a black Teflon coating… about 6 months later, ALL of the black, except a little bit around the edge, was completely gone. Just bare metal. All of it flaked off into our customers’ food.
