  • Republicans increasingly say Trump has been played by Putin

  • I don't even think Donnie is getting a paycheck.

    With everything revealed about him and his ties with Epstein, he's almost certainly some kind of creep towards minors. He is also clearly attracted to eastern European women. Add to that that his own daughter made him promise not to date anyone younger than her, and then consider how he's surprisingly hostile about people not forgetting about the Epstein list, despite being comparatively fine about being called a rapist by his detractors.

    Would not at all be surprised if Putin gave him an evening with an under-aged Russian girl, filmed it, and is blackmailing him.

  • I had the same experience. It's regrettable how desensitized to violence I am these days.

  • Weird. I thought bad-faith debaters were full of hot air, not blood.

  • Charlie Kirk dies after being shot at campus event in Utah, says President Trump

    Jump

  • Woosh maybe? They were sarcastically repeating the talking points made by the people who argue against gun control... which included Kirk himself.

  • Or brainwashed by leftists. The idea of a Republican harming a Republican seems to short-circuit them, like a robot with a paradox.

  • See, that's a man of integrity. Someone who practices what they preach.

  • he was a master of deflection.

    With words, maybe. With lead, evidently not.

  • House Republicans ‘so goddamn sick of being asked’ about Trump’s Epstein card

    Jump

  • They won't because they'd rather play the victim

    I often find myself in political discussions with Republican voters, for some of them, this is spot on.

    One of the most flawed arguments I have heard is that the Republican Party wants to release the Epstine files, but they can't because of the Democrats.

    When I pointed out that they control all branches of government, and the only way they Democrats would be able to prevent them from doing that is if elected Republican representatives chose to vote against it, I was told it was still the Democrats fault... because they would cancel and persecute anyone even remotely associated with the people on that list.

    The ones who still support their party's leadership and direction are clearly master gymnasts im dodging accountability and performing as the victim. It's not the Republicans' fault— It's the Democrats fault. And when it's not the Democrats' fault, it's still the Democrats fault, but for a different reason.

  • Too harsh?

    Jump

  • That's not always true. Some of them love kids. Just, perhaps, not in the morally and legally acceptable way.

  • Trump Administration Halts I.R.S. Crackdown on Major Tax Shelters

    Jump

  • No, no. Didn't you read what they said?

    The Treasury Department is rolling back efforts to shut down aggressive strategies used by America’s biggest multinational companies and wealthiest people.

    It's only the Exceptional Elons who they're excusing from fulfilling their tax duties. The Average Joe is still fair game to draw and quarter over an unpaid quarter.

    /s, but what I said is probably actually true.

  • I think most (all?) linux distros could learn a lot from ACTUALLY showing the error when the machine dies a horrible death

    Linux recently DRM (Direct Rendering Manager, not copyright protection garbage) subsystem recently gained the ability to do something even better.

    It can render a QR code containing debug information and kernel logs.

  • Flipper Zero, Car Thieves, and a Brewing Security Crisis: What’s Really Going On?

    Jump

  • Frankly insurance companies need to be holding the car manufacturer's feet to the fire by not insuring cars that can be trivially stolen like this.

    The governments should be, too.

    Instead, some countries are taking the approach of banning Flipper Zeros or restricting their sale instead. That's like outlawing flathead screwdrivers because you can use them to pop improperly-installed doors off of their hinges.

    It's on the car manufacturers to fix their poor security, not on tool suppliers to not make tools.

  • the baddies

  • Isn't it interesting? For people who hate "woke" and rally against gender identity transitioning, they sure love transitioning the identity of an entire government department and complaining when people dead name it. Snowflakes, the lot of them.

    Edit: For bonus points, remember that these are the kind of conservative that bitch about LGBTQ people "making it everyone else's business," while they themselves are extremely in-your-face about these changes.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks

    Jump

  • Worst bossrun so far was probably the judge which was only like 2 screens when you think about it.

    I found that run back to be infuriating at first, but it quickly stopped mattering once I realized that you don't need to kill everything on the path over and are for the most part better off just running past the enemies.

  • Skills and traps don't do enough damage to feel especially useful either.

    There's one trap that actually is pretty strong if you know how to abuse it.

    I'm not going to spoil where or how to get it, but flying beetles that home in on the enemy and repeatedly bump into it to deal damage can be pretty busted... especially when they still attack during phase change animations that stop the player from moving.

  • Medicare Will Start Paying AI Companies a Share of Any Claims They Automatically Reject

  • The goal of the healthcare system should be to treat people.

    The goal of a good healthcare system is to treat people. The goal of ours is to treat the rich to another yacht. Healthcare providers bill far above cost for profit, knowing that either the insurance or the patient will have no choice but to eat the cost. Insurance providers use high healthcare costs to justify high policy prices and then do unethical shit to avoid paying out.

    The hospitals make money. The insurance company makes money. The shareholders and corporate owners make money. The people needing healthcare get screwed.

    The system is, unfortunately, working as intended for those who benefit from it being the way it is.
