  • I think they're starting with foreign prisons until the process becomes more normalized. Right now it would be too risky, the victims would have too many pesky rights. Need lawyers and journalist afraid of being sent to the El Salvador Death Camps before we can open the American ones.

  • I mean... kinda? Its no excuse, but Trump, Musk and the lot of them seem to all have deep insecurities rooted in childhood trauma. A toxic culture that encourages abusive behavior and discourages self-reflection and accountability certainly doesn't help.

    The memes about it how these men would rather destroy America then see a therapist are pretty real.

  • They couldn't even be bothered to pick a name of an actual Dire Wolf from GoT either. Fucking tourists.

  • I daresay he almost looks.... Stately in the portrait. It's like a look into an alternate reality where Trump was loved by his father and got into politics out a desire to serve his country, and were he's also done the bare minimum to care for himself for the past 79 years.

  • A chilling look into what could be the first real steps towards the Balkanization of the United States. It's sad that it's gotten to this point, but realistically I don't see another path forward. It may be unconstitutional, but unfortunatly that founding document has lost its legitimately as the current administration wipes it's ass with it on a daily basis.

  • Lying, the secret to success that THEY don't want you to know

  • Horror RPGs in general have very succinct combat. Prolonged battles don't really fit the vibes. It's pretty much either you die quickly, kill the monster quickly, or run away.

  • Yeah I stopped doing it in High School after realizing that it's some North Korea level bullshit. Got a few other kids in my homeroom to stop too, which really angered our teacher. She was a military spouse and would actually yell at us for refusing to participate. In the end, we compromised by standing but not reciting it. Was the begining of my political and social awakening.

  • TNG and DS9 are the only two series that I really know well enough to make these recommendations for.

    I would highly recommend watching TNG before DS9, even if she likes DS9 better. TNG and DS9 work best as companion shows, with TNG building up a lot of DS9 plot-lines in its latter seasons. I would also highly recommend against starting with any episodes involving Q or the Borg, or any of the series "highlights". Let those plots build, and you don't want to spoil some of the best episodes in a sampler. My go-to TNG introduction picks are:

    -Cause and Effect

    -Darmok

    -Measure of a Man

    DS9 can be harder to pick introductory episodes for. Its more serialized nature means that a lot of later episodes have a lot of spoilers. I would highly recommend against picking any episodes that highly involve the Dominion or the Dominion War, let that plot build itself up. That does however, leave us with a lot fewer options. My DS9 introduction picks are:

    -Duet

    -Past Tense

    -Bar Association

  • This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse in this regard though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:

    A) Be celibate

    B) Move somewhere else

    C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

    Single Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being Progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

  • 100%. The graphics may be dated but gen 2 is peak Pokemon aesthetic. Peak sprites and soundtrack.

  • Seems like a win tbh. Meta stops influencing people and collecting their data, while dumbass corps waste money on ads nobody will see.

  • There weren't enough hand emojis 👋👌, mama Mia's, or references to spaghetti. No wonder he didn't fit in.

  • Mike using his YouTube money to buy and preserve old TV and Movie props is the best arc. Maybe in his retirement he can curate his collection

  • Picard starts every day by broadcasting "Space.... The final frontier" to the crew

  • I still enjoyed the first game but wasn't one of the lead devs on KCD a capital G Gamer? I remember some... interesting tweets from him. Was he booted or did he change his ways?

    Edit: Derp, should have just read the article before commenting. Fascism eats its own yet again.

  • Unrelated to the opsec, why is a SpongeBob Movie premiering on Netflix? Isn't Nickelodeon Paramount?

  • That's why I dislike these kinds of memes that say, "Oh, I shouldn't be working all day; I should be living a life of leisure and free to create".They feel like the conservative strawman of the "lazy leftist who just envies the rich".

    Living as the meme describes inherently requires the exploitation of labor. Unless a society becomes technologically advanced enough to achieve fully automated post-scarcity, meeting a person's needs still requires a certain amount of human labor. The issue under capitalism is that some people do live as the meme describes, and they do so by exploiting the labor of others through capital. As a result, the rest of us struggle even more.
