  • Celebrity says some dumb shit to make sure they can keep getting exposure bucks, more at 11

  • Tbh I keep forgetting we live in a reality where that’s a thing

    Also, if you’re popular enough on Twitch or YouTube you can make money playing games and hot tub streams

  • To be fair, you could make real money by playing games… if you were a gold farmer or an account seller

  • Depending on who you ask, it’s either God’s gift to all the cryptobros and GameStop bagholders apes or it’s games that have a more convoluted version of Steam trading but on the blockchain.

    Tbh, anything NFT or crypto-related I feel like is scammy as hell at this point in time.

  • Unfortunately, the United Corporations of America loves milking kids for money because they hope and bank on kids annoying the shit out of their parents to spend money on whatever is being marketed towards them

  • It’s even more fucky when you start to consider if the ideals, values, and beliefs you hold are actually ones you yourself have determined, or if you’ve just chosen those because it’s been passed onto you either by culture, society, or your environment.

    Take the old adage “treat others how you would want to be treated” - is that something you believe because you’ve just been told that for so long? Or is that something you intrinsically believe in regardless of what others have said? It’s only an example, and I’m not honestly even sure if it conveys that idea 100%, but shit like that keeps me up man lol.

  • Bought an apartment to live in and finally live on my own at nearly 30-years-old.

    So big W personally, kind of a L financially since everything is getting crazy expensive and I now have to pay a mortgage and bills lol.

  • War has changed.

    It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.

    War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine.

    War has changed.

    AI soldiers carry AI weapons, use AI-tagged gear. Large Language Models inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities.

    Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control.

    Everything is monitored and kept under control.

    War has changed.

    The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history.

    War has changed.

    When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine.

  • That’s why I just wear a condom all the time

  • Hell, businesses might even keep asking you to keep changing criteria and numbers until they hear what they want to hear. I literally am dealing with this right now for a local retailer; they keep insisting that I keep changing criteria and numbers relating to how many sales they closed until they hear an answer they like. When I gave them the raw numbers, the owner and manager were straight-up in denial about it and said I was wrong and that the data is off because they felt it should have been a different number than presented.

    Fucking frustrating and stupid, but that’s how upper management and corporate people can be apparently.

  • I’m sorry, is this some sort of Northern/Southern Hemisphere joke I’m too close to the equator to understand?

  • The first two seasons of Narcos was kind of hilarious. The actor they got to play Murphy looks entirely different than the real dude - for starters, the actor and character in the show is blonde while Murphy in real life is not.

  • Another interesting way to read that headline is “Jeff Bezos is very worried that American Women don’t want to marry Trump supporters.”

    Because, y’know, he owns The Washington Post.

    EDIT: tfw Jeff Bezos downdoots you twice

  • I was referring to the consumers, not the sales people.

  • Good - I’d rather more people try public transit, walking, or biking. And if you absolutely need to use a car, then advocate for better urban infrastructure because the US is waaaaaay too car-dependent and we need to start not being that way

  • False, the bag would be severely overengineered and somehow have connectivity with AirTags

  • Craziest thing is that this isn’t even Andre’s longest song if you count Do Ya Thing clocking in at like, 13 mins

  • Sorry, let me rephrase the “fascist” bit like how you rephrased the “not fascist” bit:

    A potential christofascist nation that practices crony capitalism, removes rights from women, people of color, children, and trans people, and has access to the biggest army and nuclear arsenal to manifest destiny with, or a a genocide supporter.

  • Fun fact: every 1 in 2 people make up 50% of the world population.

  • Why do we have to choose between these two?

    Because unfortunately our options at this point in time in the US are fascism and not fascism.

    A lot of democratic and left-leaning Americans didn’t vote for Biden or Hillary, but rather they voted against Trump.
