I forget: is it Fortune or Forbes that started putting out gaming guides a while back?

Why make it complicated? Just hit them with a “we hate you” tax.

If we should be nuked from space for anything, it’s Trump’s insanity, not calling it out. Yesterday people complained that Democrats don’t even put up any opposition. Now we’re complaining when they begin the process of removing him from office. 🤷‍♂️

Name this movie:

John Lithgow: “okay this is just a practice, nobody do ANYTHING. 3 - 2 - 1 - cut.”

Maybe you don’t lose an inch of penis length, but perhaps you do lose an inch of skin.

But I agree this is stupid because 99.99% of people are going to think “penis length.”

This is perhaps the dumbest circumcision awareness sign I’ve seen. And I support the cause.

MAGAts don’t deserve a place in society.

I agree with this sentiment. It really drives home what the word “rights” means: you don‘t have to deserve them to get them.

“You just say bingo.”

I like the light.

Hah I can believe that.

I’m not technically synaestehtic but I do have strong associations between numbers and colors, days of the week and colors.

Saturday has always been blue. Sunday is red. Number 4 is green, 3 is yellow, etc.

For a time I moved to an Islamic country where Friday is the holy day, not Sunday. So the weekends were Thursday-Friday and not Saturday-Sunday.

What was weird is that my red/blue associations with Saturday/Sunday shifted onto Thursday/Friday after a long time of living like this. And then I left that place and my associations shifted back.

The “nineness” of a thing, as you say, is hard to describe.

I grew up with a Betamax tape player under the family TV. It had a 24 hour clock and it was the timepiece in the house that was in the right spot to tell us all that it was bedtime. As a result I have an intuitive feel for the 24 hour clock. But if you haven’t used it regularly, which most ordinary Americans don’t, then yeah you just have to stop and do the arithmetic before you can connect 21:00 to your sense of time.

He did say it always fucks him up :D

The US has worked steadily to make Iranian nukes absolutely inevitable.

I agree. A US blockade of Hormuz was actually always a reserve strategy to put a chokehold on China if they invade Taiwan. Now we’re just playing that card for no fucking reason at all. This administration is dumb as fuck and I can’t believe there isn’t even anyone in the military who can stop them. I guess that’s what we see with Hegseth’s long line of dismissals.

Heh. I’ve had this thought many times, that we used the floppy as a save icon for longer than we even used the damn floppy, and for almost that whole time, there were tons of people coming online who’d never used floppies and would get no help whatsoever from that icon.

Recently I notice that the bookmark has become the metaphor for “save.” Literally an icon showing the end of a bookmark hanging forward. But is this actually an improvement? Does anyone fucking read books anymore??

Iran was allowing some ships through. The logic is that if it’s closed to the US it must be closed to everyone (it was not before).

Do I think this is a good move? No. Do I think Trump and Hegseth have three brain cells between them? No.

But it also isn’t hard to understand their angle here. It’s not better for anyone. But the idea is to make it worse for Iran than the previous phase, where they had control of the strait.

I hate people who consider trees nothing but problems. Such people should be cut down.

Nah it was an authoritarian dick measuring contest that we managed to get a lot of useful science funding from. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is clear on this point at least. Once the Soviets lost interest in the moon, we dropped it.

The complaint is that we shouldn’t need a dick measuring contest to do science. We’ve even had the chance to see what science funding like NASA’s can do now, yet still we can’t bring ourselves to fund it without a dick measuring contest to motivate us. So we’re outsourcing it to the billionaires, who have a dick measuring contest between them that fits the bill.

What’s the next dick measuring contest that this idiotic species will need to latch onto to keep space exploration going?

‘Surprising, illogical and very troubling’

We have a rhetoric problem in the US. Trump does something dumber than a bag of rocks, and smart people react with statements like this that actually elevate what he did even while they are trying to lambaste him.

It’s not “surprising,” it’s dumb as fuck.

It’s not “illogical,” it’s dumb as fuck.

It’s not “very troubling,” it’s dumb as fuck.

Call it what it is, guys. Your polite high road responses to this lunatic serve to dignify him.

Indeed.
