  • Ah, glad to find out the executive order "lacks the force of law", which means that none of his other executive orders have been enacted or enforced in any way either... Wait, what's this? They have? Oh. Oh...... Well then.

  • The more I learn about Stan Lee, the more I hate him...

  • I prefer really not to speak. If I speak I am in big trouble

  • European country known for stunning women

    Seriously though, I absolutely hate having to be in a relationship with and have awkward dates with the local electrician or plumber every time I need someone to fix my breaker box or my sink. I'm so glad they've finally found a completely new way of doing things to avoid this.

  • This person gives me "young girl during the Salem witch trials who accused people of being witches to get them killed just for fun and attention, and never faced any repercussions or expressed any guilt for doing so for the rest of her life" vibes

  • Can there like, be a thing against just posting a link to a video, providing no description or comment, and titling it with some clickbait title that explains nothing? Just titling this post with the actual title of the video "They Made an A.I Anime Dub and Its Awful" would have been a hundred times more informative. I'm sick of dealing with this trend all over the rest of the internet, it really doesn't need to be carried over here. I really shouldn't have to click on and start watching a video or reading an article to even find out what it's about.

  • Can't say I'm optimistic this time. Surely this DSA member won't immediately begin backpedaling their leftist stances and start working with zionists and defending the worst ghouls in the Democratic party as soon as they are elected, right? ....Right?

  • typing "black_sweater gray_jacket hair_behind_ear looking_down male_focus" into gelbooru

    god fucking dammit...

  • Came into this thread to try to figure out how gas stations disappearing in China had a serious effect on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but it turns out that acronyms just short circuit my brain.

  • Maybe this isn't the place for it, but I have some uncertainties or perhaps misunderstandings with how people talk about Lumpen/Lumpenproletariat. Is my understanding of these terms wrong? Wouldn't I, as a disabled unemployed adult, be classified as lumpen? Wouldn't homeless people be? Wouldn't prisoners be (including all the many people wrongly or unjustly imprisoned)? People pushed into sex work? As modern socialists, these are all groups that we support, and many of our comrades fall into these groups, so why do so many people still use lumpen in exclusively a negative sense? It's one thing to read books written in the 1800s or turn of the century referring to lumpen exclusively as unthinking, uneducated thieves and bandits and criminals, 'vagabonds' and prostitutes that serve no value to the socialist movement, but seeing it used exclusively in a negative sense or carrying those same sentiments in the modern day makes me wonder if these people are actually my comrades, or if I just seriously misunderstood the term.

  • I can't believe the evil Chinese would bring about the ominous states of Washdaho and Montaming. Truly treacherous.

  • How do people feel about current Telltale Games as an entity? I used to really enjoy some of their games, with the first Walking Dead game and Wolf Among Us being two of my favorite games from the time period. But I heard about awful work culture there, perpetual crunch time, pumping out games before they were finished. Then they fired everyone with no notice. Got bought out by some random company with no relevant industry experience that I can tell, that seemingly was formed out of nowhere just a few months before the acquisition. Offered to "rehire" old employees, but only as freelance with the "potential" to be offered full time positions. Bad vibes all around. I'm glad to hear that they still exist in some fashion, and actually putting out good new games, but I feel very iffy about this company now and would be hesitant to support them

  • They used to sell that exact shirt at Cedar Point amusement park. Maybe still do. Saw it right at the height of pedobear and chris hansen memes. They didn't think that one through...

  • idk dude I was like 15 in 9th grade. I have since, obviously, learned a lot more about the subject.

  • It was literally only from that sketch that I learned anything about it all those years ago. Despite being very interested in learning about WWII in school, and watching documentaries and reading several books, it was only once I saw that sketch that I was like "wait, Nazis literally wore skull and crossbones?? Wtf?" It seems we teach a very very simplified version of Nazism. My own mother doesn't even know what the term "fascism" means, despite literally being born during WWII. Nazis = Swastika. Nazis = Antisemitism. I think that is really the extent of understanding most people, at least in the US, have.

  • I can't wait to never see Sam Altman's face again

  • reflect your child's unique identity

    I'm sorry, what sort of unique identity does a newborn baby have? Oh, you mean one projected onto them by their parents. "I can tell by the way the baby shits and burps, that he's going to be a quirky yet cool, so the name should be Braxton."

  • I feel like autism itself is not inherently disabling, but being forced to live in a world where the vast majority of people are not autistic, makes it so. An entire society built in such a way that is inherently hostile toward autistic people in every way conceivable, where practically no consideration is taken, creates a traumatizing environment. I think a society that took the needs of autistic people into consideration, or even a society in which everyone was autistic

    , would be a much better society overall, and it wouldn't be nearly as disabling. Capitalism is not compatible with autism. (My experience as diagnosed)

    Edit: More thoughts. It feels kinda like being born into an alien world, where you are (seemingly) the only of your species. You really don't understand everyone else. They do and say things that make no sense to you. They expect you to do weird things in order to fit in. And they all get very very upset at you when you don't do the right things to fit in. Nobody really seems to like you, avoid you, or are openly hostile toward you, and you have no idea why. You live in an entirely alien world where you are forced to go to strange places and do strange things, where everything feels like the worst thing, or the worst places you really do not like being in. You start to feel exhausted doing these things but you are not allowed to stop. It genuinely starts to feel like everyone around you is insane. Yet everyone is acting like you are.

  • It is not unfair to him. Dude was too lazy to make his own engine, goes with the biggest shittiest engine around, while telling other people to make their own engine. Doesn't matter that the UE5 problems are not his 'fault' because he chose to use it.
