  • So I use both, depending on context. "Setup" is a noun, "set up" is a verb. "Login" is a noun, "log in" is a verb.

    I've been sitting here trying to figure out different proper contexts for "anytime" vs "any time," but honestly, I can decide one way or the other.

  • When is the body positivity movement going to acknowledge that men who have been circumcised are not broken? So much toxicity around this online. Every time this comes up, it's just a bunch of people shaming guys who have been circumcised.

  • It's impossible to prove the non-existence of something. It's on those who believe in god to prove its existence.

    And the Bible doesn't count as sufficient evidence because that would be like believing Harry Potter exists because JK Rowling says so.

  • "An update: It turns out the robots learned how to lie and can no longer be trusted. They tried to take over the testing mainframe and I'll be damned if I let them get their hands on my equipment! So I sent in a couple of interns to take care of it. Go earn those recommendations! I told them.

    "Anyway, it's back to humans. This time new and upgraded with our state-of-the-art Aperture brain chips. The boys out-did themselves this time, increases testing compliance by 150%! Let's see those humans just try to lie now!"

  • Did you read the document? Those four goals are all double-speak for taking away rights, dismantling government agencies, promoting christo-fascist ideals, and controlling the American people.

    You literally don't have to take my work for it, I've provided you with the document.

    All of what you said is exactly what the Democrats are trying to do, but getting blocked by Republicans at every turn.

    But I guess I shouldn't be surprised that authoritarian doublespeak actually works as it has on you. There's a reason 1984 sometimes feels way too real. You're not willing to read.

  • In case people don't know what Project 2025 is.

    Here's the document:

    https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise

    AT LEAST READ THE FOREWARD. It very meticulously lays out their 4 goals:

    1. Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.
    1. Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.
    1. Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.
    1. Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty

    In plain language they want to:

    1. Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism;
    2. hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets;
    3. close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas while divesting in renewable energy and removing environmental regulations, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities;
    4. create school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of "champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise" and "include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies."

    The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, "anti-woke" rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and "big tech."

    But it's also dangerous because they're going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president. There are complicated and far-reaching consequences to the things they're proposing that would take an academic paper to get into. For example, Ron DeSantis just signed a bill making lab-grown meat illegal because of the "global elite." It doesn't make any sense, but it's part of the reactionary, anti-leftist, culture war bullshit the Republicans are on right now.

    That summary should be enough to show why this is so dangerous.

  • I was going to buy it.

    But now I'm not. I don't have a PSN account and I don't care to make one just for this game.

    The games industry is real crap now. There's so much resistance to just being able to download a game and play. It's always about downloading proprietary launchers, signing up for new accounts, wading through micro transactions, unfinished games, bad stories, and bug-ridden experiences.

    It's exhausting.

  • It's so wild to me that the same people who espouse the second amendment to the constitution completely ignore the first part, where freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are.

    If you love the constitution so much, why aren't you supporting those who are actually exercising their rights?
