strongly considering a 3 month rolling delete 😅

Feels like the only thing they actually stand for is blocking consequences for the powerful.

I will never vote for another Democrat who is not also a significant party disruptor! Doing so is simply no longer harm reduction!

I think Arc Raiders has really introduced the genre to a wider audience in a huge way. It’s extremely impressive!

Arc Raiders is great! … but I’m too much of a masochist to abandon Tarkov for it 😅

I am a predictable man

… quick does anyone know what to do with free time 😅

In positive news I’m now on vacation until January 6th! Gonna do a HUGE relax.

Ahh, fresh horrors!

the age of man is over / the age of the orc(a) has come

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby.

Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM.

Fuck you all.

Primaries simply aren't punitive enough.

They are going to do anything they want & the so-called checks & balances will empower them the whole way until there is a general strike I’mma tell you right now so if we ain’t ready to do that we just need to be prepared for anything to happen

Pornhub has released the top most searched terms in the United States and every state searched “industrial crane lifting a dark and dripping shape from an unquiet sea” bc America is going through it,

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED GEORGIA'S #HD121 (Trump+12):

Eric Gisler (D)- 50.9%
Mack "Dutch" Guest (R)- 49.1%

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.

She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

McDonald's Pulls Down AI-Generated Holiday Ad After Deluge of Mockery McDonald's Netherlands is catching flak for a stupefying AI-generated video, which was roundly condemned on social media.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

“Omelas Away Walkers” perhaps?

Lots of folks listing very intense movies (which is totally fine, zero shade) and for me it’s the opposite!

For me, this is MOST movies: “fine” but ultimately unmemorable.

Movies like Uncut Gems, There Will be Blood, No Country for Old Men, Pan’s Labyrinth are on permanent rotation!!

It’s such a cool card!

According to my Garmin watch, doing deep analytical systems thinking design work is REALLY restful for my body

who woulda thought, huh?

Imagine thinking anything other than Dano’s simpering, milquetoast, feckless manipulative priest is a goddamn BRILLIANT foil to Daniel Plainview

I started working with a personal trainer! Currently week 3, lots of unilateral movements in higher rep ranges, especially focused on strengthening and stabilizing my core / hips / pelvis to help correct for an old injury!
