They shot themselves through the chest in the hope that the bullet would hit a trans person behind them.

I'd love to hear what I've specifically said that's bullshit.

This is clearly a sensitive topic for you, so believe me when I say that I'm only talking about myself here. Yes, humans have included meat in their diets for thousands of years, but the recent changes that I feel shift the paradigm are: the scope and scale of industrial farming, the brutal conditions animals now face, and the fact that we have a good enough concept of human dietary requirements that people can finally make the choice to remove animal products from their diets in a healthy way.

I got a different impression from Scrubs. To me it was a show mostly about doctors, and whenever it did talk about the healthcare industry, it was largely critical. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember they would frequently criticize the bullshit and red tape in the healthcare industry. I think there's even an episode in the first season where they commit insurance fraud to save a poor patient.

The actual answer is that faceless pawns make better canon folder villains because it's less likely the audience will relate to them as actual people in the context of the narrative. The in-universe explanation is that faceless pawns are better foot soldiers for the empire because it's less likely said empire will relate to them as actual people.

Or if it's my one year old, 2.5 seconds and she's getting into something she's not supposed to.

That's 15 minutes from my house. Fuck this state.

There's an interesting and nuanced conversation to be had about fairness in sports. Many athletic associations have guidelines in place that allow trans athletes to compete in a way that is as fair as possible to them and other competitors. Are they all perfect? Probably not, but having this conversation in the first place is the best way to ensure these associations can make competition as fair as possible to trans and cis athletes alike.

But of course this conversation will never take place, because the goal was never to make women's sports more fair. It's always been about trans erasure.

You are correct.

Tariffs allow Trump to pay for his tax cuts to the ultra wealthy by stealing from the working class, without them knowing. He also gets to position himself as a strongman and negotiator. There you go.

It is, unfortunately, real. https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/

They targeted gamers.

I strongly suspect the Gemini team is trying to artificially inflate the usage statistics for it by opting people in without their consent and requiring you to replace assistant with Gemini in order to access popular tools like image gen.

It's likely that in a few months they'll get exposed, probably not even get a slap on the wrist for it, and go back to their shady business practices.

Or that weird thing ChatGPT was doing were it screamed "help" in your own voice before replying like nothing happened.

Wait what the fuck

The 1+2 remasters were actually really solid. I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

Can't wait to get Chuck unstuck.

This isn't a news story, it's a fucking ad.

I love magic mushrooms, but the idea of tripping with my kids in the same house as me is a no go. I struggle to think of a worse thing to happen during a trip than a screaming toddler.
