  • One of Trump’s cruelest policies yet has received almost zero attention | America’s slaughterhouses could become even more dangerous for workers and animals.

    Jump

  • Even more dangerous for the animals? The whole place is purpose built to kill them. I think it's already pretty much peak danger for the animals. I think rather, what these workplaces are becoming is more cruel.

  • Used oil, maybe?

  • Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president

  • He was in the process of his considerations when Kruger calls him into the office to inform him that accounting noticed that the human fund doesn't exist. George just didn't have enough time before getting caught to adequately convince himself to cash it.

  • Just so there's no confusion

    Jump

  • I've always understood this debate as a veiled religious thing. Chicken = religion, god creates chickens; or Egg = science, animals are products of evolution, and thus naturally the egg must come first.

  • At least his tailor has a sense of humor.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • Depends. If you're streaming Dire Staits on a $250,000 stereo. You've probably missallocated funds approaching a moronic level from a functionality perspective. However, if you've got half a billion in the bank, I'd say it's a far more wholesome idiocy than for example, real estate. Money inherently means less to rich people. The difference of a few thousand to tens of thousands are, bewilderingly, fairly inconsequential to many people. I'd just assume they put that money into listening to music rather than super pacs or something. Hell, maybe they'll actually hear what the musicians are saying and they'll actually grow a little.

    The issue with audio is the same issue with all hobbies. Spending a lot doesn't make you an automatic expert, let alone even know what you're doing. An expensive bat doesn't make a bad player good, an expensive stove doesn't make a bad cook good, expensive clothes doesn't make an ugly person beautiful, an expensive running shoes don't make an out of shape person healthier.

    I find shitting on audiophiles particularly annoying because it's smugness on both sides of the equation. The people who buy in think they're better than everyone just like the people who see the con think they're better than the rubes. If I had to pick a side though, I'd honestly pick the audiophiles, because at least they're having fun.

  • Democrats at Munich security summit to urge Europe to stand up to Trump

    Jump

  • I understand that it isn't fair and that we don't "deserve" help, but Trump is a cancer on the earth itself.

  • Trump pardons 5 former NFL players for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking

    Jump

  • The end of your comment was quite the ride for me:

    There were two openly gay performers at the Superbowl

    They're probably talking about Brandi Carlile

    (Billy Joe, and Ricky Martin),

    Oh, I didn't know Billy...

    and one openly bisexual

    Oh now they're talking abou...

    (Gaga).

    Hmm

  • Heineken to cut up to 6,000 jobs in two years; Booked €1.9 billion profit in 2025

    Jump

  • Sales down 1.2%? Still profitable on the order of billions? Better cut 7% of the workforce.

  • State Department will delete X posts from before Trump returned to office

    Jump

  • Why?

  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • I don't know why I thought of this, but they make telescoping poles for wasp spray. I wonder if any other type of aerosol can would fit in them, or why you would even want to do that?

  • John Turturro Says ‘Severance’ Season 3 Starts Filming in July

    Jump

  • I'm over it. They have absolutely no respect for my time as the audience. This show is like a minimum of 30% just people walking around. And they keep introducing new details and characters and complications. It's way too sprawling and convoluted to have any satisfying resolution and they clearly plan to just milk ot for as long as they can command attention. I just can't care anymore what's going on.

  • Bruce Springsteen releases anti-ICE protest song 'Streets of Minneapolis'

    Jump

  • I did limit my hopes to "some", but I agree, introspection is woefully lacking in a America. Peer pressure should also help, though.

  • Bruce Springsteen releases anti-ICE protest song 'Streets of Minneapolis'

    Jump

  • As a song, it's just ok. But you know a huge percentage of ice agents like Bruce, he's too popular for there not to be, and I have to imagine the surreality of having a truly iconic artist write a song about you has to have an impact. It's getting harder for these guys to just go through the motions and not think about what's really happening. Things like this song gives me hope for some of them having a Mitchell and Webb type, "are we the baddies" epiphany.

  • Earth Must Die publishers say an "alien orgy depicted as a gyrating lump on the floor" left the game's Steam launch "unclear"

    Jump

  • Right? How about:

    Earth Must Die publishers say steam launch "unclear" after an "alien orgy depicted as gyrating lump of the floor"

    How hard was that? Frankly "publishers of earth must die" would be a better sentence even still, but I understand putting the subject first for a headline is a functional thing.

  • Turning Point USA Is Hosting Its Own Halftime Show Because the Super Bowl Is Too Gay

  • Cue vt of Trump and Giuliani dressed as women.

  • Chris Madel ends GOP bid for Minnesota governor

    Jump

  • And my suspicion on the credit card thing is that he knows the average household is broke and wants to make living on credit more appealing. Cleverly this gets the CC companies to cover the deficit and keeps dirt off of easier to obtain stats. That jackal doesn't have an altruistic bone in his body. If I were drowning, I wouldn't accept a life saver from him under suspicion of ulterior motives.

  • Obamas call fatal shooting by fed agent a 'wake-up call

    Jump

  • Just for a frame of reference for my European friends, the Whitehouse is a 42 hour drive through 11 states for me right now. Each one of those 11 states is politically unique. Organizing this country is not nearly as simple as everyone else on the planet seems to think. Furthermore, preventing us from organizing is one third of the planets billionaires, who's interests lie definitively in our being fragmented, over worked, and exploitable.

  • Bondi demands voter rolls to ‘restore the rule of law’ in Minnesota after fatal shooting: Reports

    Jump

  • Even in a world where what Bondi says is accurate, that ilegal immigrants are uniquely fraudulent in Minnesota in particular, how does looking at medicaid records, and snap records, and voter roles help? Can illegal immigrants even register to vote? Aren't they famously, eponymously, undocumented? And besides all that, what the hell does this have to do with the shootings? They were both American citizens, and neither are being accused even by the lie factory of defrauding anyone?

    They always play the victim, and spam the debate with red herrings and jingoistic gibberish, which is annoying enough at face value, but I find it really obnoxious how effective it seems to be.
