Somebody in the replies tipped me off to look at Albany, New York and this is honestly better than I was expecting

There's a good tactic to keep them on the phone longer in here: Start by saying you're concerned about a statement that the processor has put out, and then read the entire statement without stopping. This will cause confusion and awkwardness if they just repeat it back to you, which they likely will

something i tried today that seemed to get good mileage was using the "hey i saw this statement by Visa that said:-" as an opener, and then segueing it into "and i bring that up because i want to buy (mainstream thing that technically is against their content policy. ex: GoT)"

It Turns Out, Steam’s Adult Content Ban Has Been Plotted For A Year And Is Spearheaded By One Of Project 2025’s Leading Voices Plans to abolish Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act could have dire consequences for games.

Collective shout is a convenient scapegoat. The current administration’s considering this one of their objectives to abolish section 230 of the online communication decency act.

The section that absolves websites and online programs of being held responsible for user content.

Booted up my ps5 to play co op borderlands with my partner. 10 minutes to update the ps software. Anther fifteen to log back in to PlayStation network after I forgot the password. An hour to download the update despite having the game disk. Two hours later and we're still not playing. I hate this.

Democratic front-runners for 2026 nomination are racing to be the first to claim “Bitches, am I right, lol” as a campaign slogan while WaPo and NYT nod approvingly.

The answer isn’t to trust the establishment Democrats to fight for the people, the answer is to get rid of these corporate puppets from the Democratic Party.

The gerrymandering fight is a group of politicians who do not know how to fight that are now panicking.

The amount of harm Israel has caused should never be forgotten in this lifetime or the next.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024.

It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness.

They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Cops are great

John Dunn @johndunn43210.bsky.social There is no such thing as white privilege. What is one thing a white person can do that a person of color cannot do today in the year 2025?

When "Gender Critical" people say "you can't change sex" it's (obviously) not an observation. It's a demand. Hence why they can't ever justify it beyond just saying it again

as we enter into a new era of internet censorship, it is your solemn duty to break the egg prime directive. do it constantly. tell everyone. tell them again. tell them about estrogen and about T.

I made it to my mid-teens before I even knew what transition was. let’s not go back to that.

Unless you're a Palestinian

im begging you to listen to how this fox news host pronounces “authoritarianism”

This is genuinely western liberalism summed up in a 30 second video. Incredible. Put it in an art gallery.

And also...

Trans women shop assistants should be allowed to work in a department store lingerie department, because Trans women are not dangerous by default of being Trans

Treating Trans women like they're predators - that’s the real problem

whoops!

fuck off

First panel: Gengar points at a pikachu and treecko, saying "I know what you are" while other townsfolk look on, shocked. Second Panel: The pikachu is recoiling in fear, thinking "human", the treecko is mildly annoyed and thinking "gay pride flag". Third panel: all of the townsfolk, gengar, pikachu and treecko. Gengar is thinking "human", whilst every other pokemon is thinking "gay pride flag".

Also happy pride here's a comic i'm too lazy to finish
