  • Nuts make brownies so much worse

    Jump

  • Yes, yes, one thousand times yes! I understand sometimes putting nuts on top of something, but when they are mixed in to a brownie or cake or bread they ruin the texture. People who mix nuts into their baking are sociopaths.

  • US in new push to force chlorinated chicken on UK

    Jump

  • “How is a chicken like a swimming pool?” asked the Hatter.

    Alice thought for only a moment. “The American poultry industry!” she declared.

  • Sounds interesting

  • It is, however, a hilariously ironic notion that atheism fails where Christianity succeeds: being appropriated by the far-right to spread bigotry and fascism.

    I would argue that it’s not funny or ironic. The right is defined by their pursuit of consolidating power and authority at all costs. Anything and everything is a resource to exploited toward advancing their selfish misanthropic ends. They will appropriate anything and vilify what they can’t successfully appropriate. This isn’t irony, it’s a core tenet of rightism.

  • How do people actually fall into the "Tankie" mindset?

    Jump

  • No it’s not. I would also consider myself an ideological Marxist, but I am no tankie.

    A tankie is someone who claims to value leftist ends of any kind (including Marxism-Leninism) but supports or defends authoritarianism, classism, stratification, or any of the inequitable historical socio-economic paradigms. Vanguardism is not meant to be perpetual, it is a means borne of desperation with the aim of a fundamentally opposite ends. It is not the ends itself, as it is a form of extreme rightism, but one specifically meant to be transient.

  • How do people actually fall into the "Tankie" mindset?

    Jump

  • There is no one answer. Dr. Bob Altemeyer‘s book “The Authoritarians” sheds some light on the psychology.

    Regardless of what you think about vanguardism as a means to leftist ends, they also seem to miss the logical point that vanguardism and the state are meant to wither away. It is a theoretical rightist means to a leftist ends, it is not itself leftist.

    But again, if you read The Authoritarians you find that logic and reason do not matter to them. Trying to reason with an authoritarian is pointless.

  • Trump’s Mystery Bruise Spreads to His Other Hand

    Jump

  • If it were a brown migrant ICE would have disappeared it already.

  • Beyoncé is now the fifth billionaire musician, Forbes reports

    Jump

  • Fuck. She’s on the Menu, now. God dammit.

    There are no good billionaires.

  • We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human

    Jump

  • The poor user experience is intentional. Compare FireTV to AppleTV. Everything about FireTV is carefully designed to coerce you into spending money. Easy access to the content you already have doesn’t make money, so the UX serves Amazon, not you. Apple does it, too, but with a more subtlety.

  • Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    Jump

  • Star Citizen works well on Linux via a community-maintained tool called LUG. Getting other fancy peripherals like head tracking requires some creative use of a Windows VM, because those peripheral makers don’t support Linux. If Squadron 42 ever actually materializes, then the community will have it covered.

  • Texas A&M won’t reinstate fired lecturer despite findings

    Jump

  • “You are absolutely free to engage in any pre-approved, state-sanctioned speech.”

  • MongoBleed is web scale

    Jump

  • I backed it a lifetime ago and have gone back and forth between “it’s a scam” and “maybe it could happen” so many times that I just don’t care any more. As broken as it is and as slow as progress has been, there has never been anything like it. I check in a couple of times every year and usually have fun seeing the sights for a week or two. I think I’ve had enough enjoyment from it to justify my original cost.

    Even though their goals are unreasonable, irrational, and completely mad, they have somehow managed to fund stable development for over a decade and have actually made meaningful progress. Will I live to see it realized? Who knows. I wish them luck for both their sakes and the people who spent big money on this ridiculous dream, but unlike many others, I have no hard feelings personally. I’d like to see it realized someday, but I have no more money to give them even if I wanted to.

  • The blue line is male and the blue line is female.

  • In light of a "free" copy on Epic Games

    Jump

  • Unless you bought it when it came out, it’s now the only ethical way to play it.

  • A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving

    Jump

  • It’s a win-win.

  • Stephen Miller says undocumented immigrants ‘had no due process entering the country’ and don’t deserve it in removal

    Jump

  • Openly admitting to violating the civil rights of millions will come in handy for those of us who will hold you accountable.

  • Mamdani claps back at Musk for criticism of FDNY chief pick

    Jump

  • Remember, being a woman or queer or non-white always makes you unsuitable for any prestigious or desirable position. “Inexperienced” is fascist double-speak to make their open bigotry sound like meritocracy.

  • Employee commits suicide after MongoDB fired her during mental health leave

    Jump

  • And Mongo is now on the eternal shit list. As far as I’m concerned this is not merely abuse, it is premeditated murder.
