  • It’s funny how some of Elongated Muskrat’s testing and experiments involve the subjects dying.

    Monkeys dying with the Neuralink experiments, and humans are dying with these autopilot tests!

  • See: Al Gore vs Bush

    Also, still miffed about Bernie not being a “good candidate” for the DNC in 2016.

  • Unfortunately, the fediverse is a lot like Reddit where users are more than happy to justify violence and horrible things to other people because they’re from the opposite side of the political and/or socioeconomic spectrum.

    Sounds kinda similar to some right-wingers, don’t it?

  • you a boss frfr ong 🫡

  • And where’s the arrows and impact text so I know exactly what to read??

  • Actually, yes.

    Debian has been supported since the early 90s, but admittedly that’s the only one I could name off the top of my head.

  • Missing satire/missing the point, anti-American, pointlessly bringing in politics/culture in a negative way.

    Ahh, just like Reddit

  • You mean that website where a large majority of fediverse users came from?

    Yeah, wouldn’t be surprised if there was some communal overlap…

  • Honestly, if Rockstar can make a modern GTA equivalent of Saints Row 2, they’d be golden. Which is kind of ironic in a sense since Saints Row was originally the “GTA at home” clone but became amazing.

  • Unfortunately, the US lives with both broken education and financial systems where the latter system has turned the former (and many other institutions that should have been public services) into a for-profit institution where the main goal is to push out as many students as possible (regardless of the quality of the education) to get as much money possible, student debts be damned.

    This bit by the late and great comedian George Carlin encapsulates how bad it’s been in the US for at least the past 30+ years when it comes to this kind of stuff.

  • 100% agree - college is only legitimately useful if the career you want to do requires or hugely benefits from a degree, or if you somehow do some crazy networking to get into a position thanks to a corporate person getting you in. For IT it’s arguable if you even need a degree or not outside of specialized fields, but I would liken getting a degree in some IT-related field to getting a cert: great to have on a resume, but experience and attitude will always beat it out.

    If you’re in the business of getting a non-STEM degree, honestly just look into going into a community college for a couple of years to learn how to socialize and maybe get a taste for higher ed stuff (this benefits anyone and everyone). After that, if you’re not gonna go for a STEM career, I would consider dropping out and focusing on work experience.

    EDIT: Should clarify, this is strictly for the US. To all fellows across the pond: yes, it is that bad.

  • Thank you for your service, now I can go onto GameFAQs to say this exact thing 🫡

  • YTMNDs are still the pinnacle of web design, change my mind

  • Tunnel Snakes Fingertip Grippers rule!

  • I am now out of my cozy and comfy bed and on the floor while hitting my head on my lamp :(

  • The moon is a solar panel superstructure

    source: trust me bro

  • Incredibly presumptuous of you :) I personally think we should celebrate the Feast of Sol Invictus - at least we’re celebrating a tangible thing that gives us life!

    If you can’t celebrate the death of a monster responsible for literally millions of dead human beings, what can you celebrate? If you can’t celebrate the deaths of rent-seeking purveyors of misery and exploitation, what can you celebrate?

    How about instead of wasting energy celebrating the death of an asshole, we spend it towards helping the people who got fucked over by those assholes? Kissinger did some pretty awful shit, but celebrating his death does just as much as mourning his death imo. Maybe we should try and advocate change for the people of Cambodia or something? That part I don’t know - what can we do to help those that were directly affected in a negative manner by these fuckin douchenozzle rich assholes in power?

  • How is it weird or bizzare?

    Because of shit like your post. You basically went ahead and justified celebrating death by spouting some banal left-sounding rhetoric. It’s honestly the same kind of energy that right-wing nuts have whenever they talk about “taking America back” and idealizing the death of liberals and left-leaning people.

    There’s a fine line between a “good riddance” and “WOOHOOO THIS FUCKER IS DEAD” - the latter should truly be reserved for people like Hitler. I can see the latter for a piece of shit like Kissinger, but not for the Titantic sub people.

    But unfortunately, most of the internet nowadays won’t take a more level-headed approach until either Critikal or Asmongold does (if they do).

  • It’s weird how more and more people celebrate death because of this really extreme “us vs them” mentality that’s been developed.

    I recall a lot of people were strangely happy when the people in that Titantic sub fucking died solely because the victims were rich people. Like… seriously? It was also weirdly morbid how people treated it like a spectacle with the Twitter account that was counting down the hours of air left.
