You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

    Because of this comment, I learned that e216.com is for sale for around 3k USD. Holy carp, when did obscure, meaningless domain names get so expensive.

    (It's e621 . com that puts canine dicks on everything, including cats, most definitely NSFW)

  • We are entering the Yo-ho-ho times like no other period of information-age history prior.

  • Why do you personally hate Christmas?

    Jump

  • I'd be fine with if that's all it was, I can respect people who maintain tradition for whatever reason. It wouldn't be important to me, but I get logically how tradition maintains community bonds. That's fine, we have a lot of ethnic and religious traditions that various groups follow and they don't impose it on anyone.

    But Christmas most definitely does not promote Christianity, it promotes some kind of heinous, bastardized version of modern Christianity that's completely about meaningless product consumption, decoration and ritual without meaning.

    Will growing up learning to string electric lights on a slowly-dying pine tree turn a kid Christian? Most likely not... but he is sure going to learn that when he gets his own apartment (as required in modern capitalist single-family living) he will spend that money on his own dying pine tree and string of electric lights.

  • ‘Many more’ trips on Epstein’s plane and Mar-a-Lago: Trump appears throughout latest file dump from DOJ

  • I'm beginning to think this Trump fellow was up to no good at some point.

    I fully expect a legal review to be brought against him and all the proper procedures to be followed.

  • WTF is happening with the world

    I think it's the internet. Overexposure of information and stimulus about every conceivable issue, billions of voices and opinions and stray, intrusive thoughts fed directly into our eyeballs 24/7. It's making people broadly lose track of reality or not really understand what's actually important anymore.

    This has had the effect of allowing the worst voices to gain power because those voices get shared more, both out of pushback and condemnation as well as support from niche groups.

    Basically the information age is destabilizing society, the last couple decades have accelerated this process as capitalism has hijacked the entire system to algorithm advertising directly into your skull, so now attention spans are monetized and as a result, are being shortened further and further by competing forces.

    And it's been seen over and over in history that times of uncertainty and destabilization often come with a broad retreat from the social contract and a breed a large-scale attraction to authoritarianism and selfish motivations. Likely a survival response buried deep inside us as a way to survive famine and hard times.

    Don't worry, one way or another, it will end.

  • BMW Patents Proprietary Screws That Only Dealerships Can Remove

    Jump

  • I knew exactly one BMW driver in my life, he was a marketing firm executive, looked like a character from Better Call Saul. I was in charge of marketing for a small company that I lied to about my qualifications and ended up a VP of marketing, so this guy comes roaring up one day and parks across two spaces in his BMW convertable, cigar in mouth, aviator shades, cheap suit and loud tie, he just always wanted to "make things happen."

    Absolute cartoon character. I have to say I kind of loved every interaction, it was like a recurring character on a sitcom.

    Anyway, about all I remember was him complaining how hard it was to get the thing serviced and the wheels alone set him back the cost of another car.

    I hated marketing, but I also hated the unemployment that followed when the housing market bubble burst and suddenly nobody had money anymore.

  • All I know is:

    "You're gonna love Hytale bro, it's gonna be great bro, just wait bro, seriously, JUST WAIT!" - Everyone, every year since twenty fucking fifteen.

    I don't know what I'm supposed to do with any of this information, I kinda lost investment. If the game is ever done, great I will try it. If not, I won't be at all surprised.

  • Not getting maimed is far more valuable to me than a trophy from some tournament.

    When I finally got to the point that I was learning knife-fighting, my teacher told me "If you get in a knife fight, even if you win, you will probably lose." And went to tell me stories of bar fights where both participants died later, or the person standing at the end lost an eye or ended up with permanent, disfiguring or debilitating injuries like severed tendons and organ damage.

    I don't want to get in fights. I do everything I can to avoid fights.

    Even still I've had to fight home invaders, it's incredibly scary when you don't know what someone is going to do, what they're carrying, or how it's going to end and you know you have to fight to survive. The post-fight emotions and feelings are insane.

  • I've heard a lot of the world's worst people use that as an excuse to do the most horrible things, and I despair that so many people readily embrace it as a validation.

    We are animals but we are different than every other animal, and we can be better and do better, and if holding yourself to a higher standard because you were born with sapience is too inconvenient, I'm sure there are some political and ideological groups out there who would love to have you.

    edit: I regret spending any time responding to the obvious trolls in this post. Block and move on people. If you ever find yourself having to argue that we're better than animals, you're not arguing with someone participating in good faith.

  • Putin praises child marriages, citing Kadyrov family and North Caucasus traditions

  • This is already a shitshow of a comment section.

    I wish people would stop debating "ages" of children and "cutoff points" and start talking how better to reduce suffering and trauma broadly.

  • Judging ourselves by what animals do is a wild take. I guess we've just all broadly stopped caring about being human sometime around when "alpha males" became a serious topic of discussion in human behavior.
