  • MAGA singles are looking for love in Washington. It’s a challenge.

  • They are probably holding two partially contradictory concepts of masculinity in mind and trying to find the tiny population of men that exist in that intersection.

    They are seeking a warm and considerate racist or a strong weak man. Good luck with that.

  • ICE Barbie Deports Trump-Fanatic Cuban Immigrant to Africa

  • Question: if we are against deportation of immigrants in general, is it acceptable to report the particular immigrants we don't like so they get deported?

  • How do y'all feel joy without alcohol or weed?

  • I would imagine most drug use is recreational and I'm not implying anything about your usage pattern. I do like drugs and getting high from time to time but the habitual use of drugs was a bad sign that I ignored for years. Addiction is a problem, especially if we hide, deny or condemn it. We're all imperfect and yet deserving of love and respect.

  • Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party?

    Jump

  • Most domestic insurance policies do not cover the use of a vehicle on company business and your employer would become implicated in the event of an accident. This necessarily implies that driving to work is not company business which doesn't make sense to me. Do they think I was out for a drive each morning and just so happened to be in the vicinity of my workplace so I thought why not drop in for a shift? Them's the rules.

    If you do get into an accident and they ask you 'what gear were you in at the moment of impact?' Tell them Gucci sweats and Reebok Classics.

  • What's your favorite thing about your hobby?

    Jump

  • Making something nice out of junk and repairing things is immensely satisfying. Lately I've turned a fallen tree into wood shingles to clad an outbuilding and installed a reclaimed ornate window.

    Getting into cooking, which is most rewarding when done with family and friends. Today's recipe is spinach and ricotta pasta.

    I love programming and there are endless things to build in that world. Currently making a log burning stove control system using an Arduino, sensors and servos.

    The rest of my recreational time is spent gaming on a pc, World War Z right now, love a co-op.

  • Trump likely to name White House ballroom after himself, officials say

  • It's difficult to pick a suitable adjective for this guy, given the volume of offences. How about Lifetime Achievement Crime Ballroom?

  • It's about 5-10% more in the UK. The maintenance on a reliable transmission is fairly minimal but any mechanical problems are almost guaranteed to be a nightmare buried under a mountain of metal. I've been spared that trauma so far but I remember test driving a used VW Passat which clunked with every shift. Thanks for the test drive, bro.

  • I smoked a lot of weed as a young adult. Looking back on that time I believe that I was escaping from the endless intrusive thoughts. Focusing my mind on any sort of work was difficult and I used all sorts of substances to get by. My typical usage profile is to find something appealing and use the shit out of it until it becomes a problem, spend time recovering and repeat with the next chemical. After recovering from heroin addiction it became obvious that it was not normal behaviour and I sought medical advice. They diagnosed ADHD and many of the past events started to make sense. I use routine to bring order to my life. I meditate to calm the mind. The medication allows me to focus and prioritise tasks. I think of my life in two starkly distinct chapters, pre and post diagnosis. I feel happy and the thought of taking substances seems like a strange thing to do.

  • Posting without reading the article

  • Good call. I can't remember if kahneman talks about it in the book but there is a fascinating experiment on people who have had a procedure that severs the connection between the left and right hemispheres (epileptics). They exhibit the impulsive tendency to explain away sensory evidence that contradicts their previous statements. The theory is that speech centres inhabit the left brain and in the absence of a measured analysis by the right hemisphere they just make something up without apparently thinking it through.

  • It wasn't so much building the character wrong but convincing the people around me that it was a legitimate character. The magic potions are also a game changer.

  • The Orange Racist Ballroom does have a certain ring to it.

  • This works well and it's not a hill I'll defend but automatic control of temperature is better when it's done well. In the UK we have a culture of driving cars with manual transmission and I've never understood it when automatic transmissions exist and are pretty good. People wanna feel like they are in control of stuff.

  • Bernie Sanders floats AOC as potential 2028 presidential contender: ‘Very good politician’

  • Did you hear Kamala's endorsement of Mamdani? It was forced out of her like when you make a five year old apologise.

  • Sir, this is a crucial election. Only the finest corporate sellout will do.

  • Why would I buy this?

    Jump

  • Short answer: you wouldn't buy this game, given your valid criticisms.

    This type of extortionate pricing policy speaks to the general user base being nobs, die hard try hards and probably a toxic gaming environment. Having a barrier to entry in any activity prevents total idiots from entering. Consoles have made it easier for people who don't understand how to operate a PC to play games but that necessarily means those games will be replete with obnoxious people. The advent of smartphones has done that for the internet.

  • Amazing and monumental turnout. Sending love from the UK.
