One thing we've certainly learning during the Epstein Scandal is no one knows how to pronounce Ghislaine Maxwell's first name.

The way taxis drive in Hong Kong reminds me of how I drive in Need for Speed. Where crashes are rewindable.

Shocking! How is this even legal! Outrageous! Unbelievable! Must see! I skim the news for 2 minutes and this is the lead on everything. If everything is outrageous then nothing is. How far from breaking news is broken news? Algorithms are breaking people’s ability to sort useful information.

Thank god you’re finally pointing this out about the left. It’s going to deeply helpful when kleptocrats are deporting innocent people. Darn it just the left would’ve not been worse we might’ve been able to stop the bleeding but alas it’s their fault we’re here.

I think it should be illegal for bots to act like humans. I realize this is strange right now cause this is all so new. But seriously. I think we’re getting manipulated by a bunch of bots and gullible people and normal people caught up because what looks like trends are just servers of bots.

The shareholders control the company and they put someone in who will do what they want. Also, because they can and there's nothing anyone can do about it except unionize which is a pretty trite answer. :( unions are somewhat of a decent solution but they're also an individual use case example

Ghost is fantastic, self-hosting is a bit of challenge for a few hours figuring out all the setting but it's nice to control, own and be in control of how everything gets out there. Did you choose a custom theme or one of the ones already available? I honestly picked casper because it's nice!

Oh I can tell the creativity and design is Unreal! But what engine is it?

Ok, ok I kid. That's cool. I've been on unity for a bit do you have any big endorsements of Unreal over unity? I like that Unity is cross platform but Unreal has some crazy good graphics out of the box.

This looks crazy good! What's you develop on? Looks like Unity or Love2d

soo uhhhh I live in China and people (expats) are panic buying cheez-its because they're about to be like 30 dollars here... this is a real disaster.

The only thing more useless than the far left is the far right.

The problem is the wording. β€œPatriotic” β€”> see you gotta be for β€œyour country” to be patriotic and they never have been for the country. They’re for their rich elite class. That is all. Everyone not in that club can get screwed. They only ever hid behind patriotism for their atrocities views.

I recommend mouse padding . I have one that is long that I just use as a mouse pad. It's like a fabric/rubber mix. If it gets dirty I just wash it. I've had it maybe 4 years now. No real wear and tear visible

I put out a fire in my kitchen, didn't show up the next day at the fire station like "what. I'm a fire fighter". but if you have a fire fighter jacket and pants in your closet and a firefighter hat then maybe you are gay.

As a white dude from rural kentucky... who grew up poor... this is garbage. liberals act like this is reality but it's only reality for the rich. Rick black and brown people have it easier as well. Racism exists. Classism exists. Y'all divide people on the wrong boundaries and it needs to stop.

Rarely are they ever as dumb as they're seeming. Most politicians get there by working pretty hard for a few months on election year

I don't know what's worse. Getting treated like we're stupid or demonstrably being stupid.

Deepseek is released. It's not bad.

o3 is suddenly free.

y'all realize when companies compete they take money out of their pockets and put it into their products. Otherwise it's just shareholders gaining

I think we should just focus on the money.

focus on who's in government, who's making money off all this

They yelled and complained about exactly what they wanted to do :(

honestly... this is worse that even this. They're going to be pilfering the government. It's going to be chaos.

Your notes are way prettier than mine. Have you tried obsidian? It’s also got lots of plugins to make it pretty

You don’t get to be the language police. I can use nouns how I want. You understood it therefore it was language ;)
