  • Shooting at Mardi Gras parade in Louisiana wounds five people, including child

  • Guys, please, if you're not shooting at the secret police, then you shouldn't be shooting. C'mon, man.

  • Trump wants to build 250ft Washington DC arch that dwarfs Lincoln Memorial – report

    Jump

  • See this irks me, because if I was in charge, I'd want to spur the economy by building giant cool shit too. Course, I'm thinking more like the Colossus of Rhodes, or those two giant mountain king statues from LOTR (Argonath). But anything that could be seen as a monument to this absolute vile traitor, is too much. After he's imprisoned and dies his pathetic lil death, that name should be stripped from all records, buildings, everything. His name, forever synonymous with a repulsive pathetic evil clown.

  • The monkeys realize they can power contraptions using the heat from combustion. After widespread adoption, they find out that the result of this process is slowly destroying their home at an increasing rate. The monkeys ignore the destruction, because the monkeys have created a system that replaces work with a token, and monkeys hoarding tokens having seized control of the central monkey systems, stopping any other monkeys from addressing the destruction of their home.

    The Monkeys with the most, are also the most afraid, because they fear no longer having tokens, and of being treated like they treat token-less monkeys. So the hoarding monkeys cheat and lie and steal until they're so powerful that even committing terrible crimes doesn't get them in trouble with other monkeys, so afraid monkeys are of those with the most tokens.

    So quietly, and without notice, the day comes and passes, when if they were going to stop the destruction, if they were going to save their world, they would have had to have acted on that day.... but they didn't. Because the token-having monkeys made sure that no other monkey were allowed to stop them. And so they continued destroying their home, until it was too late, and they all ended up dying of starvation, thirst, and exhaustion, while the planet they were on went about it's day, hoping that a newer, more intelligent kind of life would emerge.

  • Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

    Jump

  • I'm addicted to DOTA 2, but I sometimes will play other single player games. I bought and downloaded Witcher 3, Cyberpunk and RDR2, but I can't get into them. If I'm not playing with other people, it just seems kinda... lonely? I like games where I can log on and chat/communicate with other players. I'm alone enough in my real life, so anytime I can spend with even just virtual friends is something I value.

    I dunno, I started the cyberpunk game, was going the street kid route, and the guy it puts you with... The guy put a gun to you, and all of a sudden we're friends? No. I'm from a shitty family and that shit gave me mad anxiety. I got into the tutorial level, stopped to do something else, came back, and every time i try to load the game back up to play, it crashes.

    So yeah, back to DOTA 2

  • Billionaire Ehud Laniado dies during penis enlargement surgery, surgeons banned

    Jump

  • An autopsy later confirmed that Laniado died from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition involving an enlarged heart.

    A search of his hotel room revealed he had been taking multiple substances banned in France, along with vasodilators commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. According to judicial sources, these substances are believed to have contributed to his death.

    Ah, so it had nothing to do with the procedure, dude was on a cocktail of his own drugs, didn't tell the doctor, had a heart attack.

    So, if it was anyones fault, it was the pathetic billionaires fault. Also anyone who gets rich from diamonds is always, 100%, a scumbag.

  • Understandable fear of anger

    Jump

  • oh yeah. Those lovely days when I could hear the door, along with every cabinet and drawer, being slammed shut. I could feel the anger from rooms away. Waking up to it is worse. Getting hit was better, because it didn't take as long, and I wasn't tasked with calming them down just so I could exist in a place without all that fucking anger and tension.

  • What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

    Jump

  • Sometimes I'll be getting myself ready to do the thing, but if someone reaches out and gives me an out... Yeah I might just take them up on it. I'm big on canceling plans

  • Nestlé knew of tainted baby formula in November

    Jump

  • You know, if I was the head of a multinational organization that's infamous for poisoning children, stealing water, and bribing officials... I'd be worried about my personal safety.

    Ya know evil people, committing evil actions, count on good people doing nothing.

  • How steep is Trump’s democratic backsliding?

    Jump

  • Hey look it's like a reversed climate change index

  • How small does a broken potato chip have to be before you consider it a crumb?

    Jump

  • yup, I'd go further and say that if it's the same size as your thumbnail, it's still a chip. Any smaller and it becomes crumb. Big crumb, but crumb.

  • What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?

    Jump

  • Nah just have the chain length short enough that it can't swing back and whack your hand. That's pretty much it.

  • You got this, dog. Whatever happens, you're also important and deserve love too ❤️

  • Protester struck by SUV displaying Trump flag at Fremont High School (Nebraska)

    Jump

  • Hey you're allowed to shoot the driver in the face now, so let protestors be aware that's how we should be responding to aggressive trump cars like this. They come near you, shoot'em in the face.

  • Two French streamers in custody over death during live broadcast

  • trash streaming from trash people, time to take it out

  • The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules

    Jump

  • So, they made it a "suggestion" to not contaminate the environment, got rid of a bunch of security requirements (Who needs security at a plant powering our cities anyway??), AND are upping the amount of radiation exposure someone can have before they seek treatment.

    So, basically a bunch of evil shit. huh, whuda'thunk the same people that saw the increased incidence of new cancers with all the PFAS in our water and food, and decided to roll back regulations on it while introducing a brand-new PFAS laden pesticide for all our crops! Wonderful! We'll all get cancer and die early deaths because of them!

    They're making literally everything worse, murdering us in the street, arresting dissidents, covering up their crimes, and stealing billions while they do it.
