I never understood the You Have Failed Me trope. If I found myself on the side where failing, or being too successful (being a threat) equals death, I'd switch sides as soon as I can. But I suppose this is just the human nature of fascism, and perhaps baffling to non-fascists.

Psh, my fetish is thrusting into an empty vacuum.

Even in financial terms "sustainably" always pisses me off. None of these companies are trying to sustain, they demand constant growth to be happy. Never ending growth is never sustainable.

This one drives me crazy. Wife and I were walking home late from a night out, wanted McDs (alcohol was involved). The only options were drive through and app ordering for drive through pick up. Thankfully the woman at the uber pickup window let us app order and pick up there, but they aren't supposed to...

I just watched, he does jump in once or twice, but seems like satellite delay awkwardness mostly.

After laying out the question, "what are the (details of the) allegations of Biden's supposed insurrection" Sanchez gives him loads of time to look like the fool he is.

The video for those who'd like to watch and are hitting the RS paywall:

It's pretty hilarious, he clearly didn't come prepared for the most basic of follow-up questions.

Honestly, that sounds amazing, and illustrates why, "can you explain this gap on your resume" is such a bull shit interview question.

FSM help me, but I'm about to defend Florida...

I just spent some time there, visiting a friend, and while yes, I encountered some of the worst humanity has to offer, the LGBTQ+ scene is pretty great in some places. Saw some of the best drag performers I've ever seen in Miami, at some of the warmest most inviting queer bars I've ever been to. It had the vibes of circling the wagons, but if you want in, you're welcome and "we got you".

Shit like this breaks my heart for them, but there are a lot of good people still fighting the good fight down there. Fuck Desantis and all the fascists.

Why does there even need to be a COP every year?

COP is just theatre.

Asked and answered.

It means Assigned Male/Female At Birth, so it seems you agree.

Ok, I tilted my phone and shoved it up my butt... now what? I never get these memes, I must be getting old.

Edit: hold on someone's calling me...

I'd argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don't have enough money and joking about how you're spending your kid's inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich (5th district)

Asshole and full on insurrection supporting MAGA.

My wife has a notably tiny nose, like can't wear sunglasses without the pads that stick out or they fall off, and she can still see some of the bottom of her nose. So someone seeing nothing at all would have an incredibly small nose.

Agree so much on HBO. We just moved to the US and got the "Max" subscription and we're finding gem after gem, some of it a decade old. Like TV that rivals any great movie, amazing storytelling/directing/music/concepts. Still plenty of filler to sort through, but some genuine art in there.

Bummer. Not because of the extra $3, honestly I'll probably just pay it. But because until now Prime programming has been able to operate with a certain freedom. I know 0 people with prime for the video (as opposed to the free delivery) so they were willing to take risks with the shows.

Solos and Tales from the Loop are both amazing works of art that would never have shown up on network TV, or Netflix which would much rather make cheap mass appeal shows with little depth. Even more shows with wider appeal (e.g. The Expanse) might not survive the TV Executive mindset now that they have a reason to care about the number of views as a primary metric, over user happiness.

And honestly, it all baffles me, I will gladly subscribe to a streaming service for one great show. Produce 3 or 4 a year and I'm subscribed for good. If I wanted an endless string of medicore baking reality shows, I'd get cable again.

I pictured your entire rant read aloud by Sam Eagle. It's much funnier that way.

Your mileage may vary, but have you tried over the phone instead of video chat (if it's an option where you live)? I felt exactly the same about video, but something about over the phone felt chill, I could just "chat with a friend" in my pajamas. Helped me a lot and neither my therapist or I ever actually saw each other.

Astrophysics/cosmology. I'm more artsy geek than STEM geek, but there is a tremendous amount of beauty found in what we know and don't know about the universe.
