I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

This is how people who run a LARP talk about their players. It sucks there, too, but at least they aren't getting paid to do it.

I think it's funny and weird that the people who work at Bluesky act like the cranky mods of an IRC channel and not like employees at a mass social media company.

Jack is still a dumbass.

Fucking clown shit by grim.

Also we had to mayonnaise a snake today? Not a euphemism Had to...?? [photo of a gloved hands holding a snake covered in mayonnaise] Why did you make him tangy Delivered

I, too, think it’s a sign of love if you retain body art of people who committed genocide against your wife’s people [citation needed]

Also his wife being Jewish seems to maybe be a scam lie lmao

The guy has a Nazi tattoo, dude. He has a Jewish wife and didn’t remove the Nazi tattoo. How does that affect your uncertainty, bud?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

So sick of this shit.

I know I keep saying this, but I get a perverse sense of relief when things like this happen due to the war because oh hey, reality still exists. It’s not all just content. Cause and effect are still a thing. You haven’t totally lost your fragile grip on sanity.

You know how American intelligence was pretty excited to do to the USSR in Afghanistan what Soviet intelligence did to the US in Vietnam?

tbf 10 points after a full court press from admin and influencers all week armed with a whole chapbook of talking points is a pretty shitty outcome

Yesssss finished the show very recently and has the same experience.

"But it didn't answer" "but god did it" but but but"

stop, you can stop there, it's okay, go watch something else. It's okay to not like what mode a show is working in, but it didn't betray you. It was always that show, right from the start.

One of the best shows to ever do it, from its deep interest in the culture of its world, to the focus on its characters' emotional arcs over plot, to the thematic richness of its ideas... all colliding in one of the most beautiful finales ever.

Finished the great BSG rewatch of 2025/26 last night, and let me say: It holds up even better in today's world than it did when it came out. Every political and cultural choice feels, sadly, more relevant now than ever. We hit the New Caprica arc, for instance, at the height of DHS in Minnesota.

"Making milquetoast jokes that are still somehow embarrassingly narcissistic" doesn't count as something to be good at, though.

I think you should have to be good at something before you mouth off like this, personally.

*drunk tigh voice* yeaaaaaaaah!

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

I understand what these words mean when these words get put together but I don't understand how these words could possibly be together.

Cue the end credits music for Veep.

lol noem fired

for those who are too young to remember, you're going to hear this bullshit from politicians and the media. it may make you question your gut instincts.

your gut is right.

we went through over a decade of people claiming the iraq war issue was complicated, all to avoid the very simple response that should have been offered. no, the war was bad, we should end it, and it shouldnt be funded. period.

and all of that is the same with iran. its not a tough one.
