Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

I still refuse to believe people in STAR TREK can’t tell the difference between a hologram and a human being.

Everything else I buy, but a hologram disguised as your spouse kisses you on the lips and you can’t tell? Fuck off forever!!!!

If they found Jesus on Mars tomorrow you can bet your ass I’d be in church on Sunday, but who cares?

It also suggests the existence of a "Boy's Name/Girl's Name" database to cross-reference with gender markers which is just about the most infantile shit I can think of.

To clarify, I'm fine with the aliens inside the wormhole, I just wish they weren't the gods of the Bajorans.

IMO being able to prove your gods are real kinda takes the edge off when you're trying to explore how religion works. Like, of COURSE you believe in the Prophets; they're RIGHT THERE

Started another DS9 rewatch and my only complaint about the entire series is that I wish The Prohpets weren't real.

I downloaded THE DIVISION 2 because it was $2.99 and I think I overpaid.

Every bullet feels like I’m blowing a paper straw wrapper at a mannequin.

I was told the cabal would not accept my insurance and then a large man came out and chased me away with a broom!

Honestly though, I don’t think Trump gives a shit about Jesus, but the ideology of the people he’s allowed to hijack his admin have a vested interest in letting him do whatever he wants in service of their goal of killing everyone.

Donny gets to loot all he wants because IT’S THE END TIMES BABY

The chaos, the cruelty and the incompetence are all features, not bugs.

It is a DEATH. CULT.

This is probably poor planning, but incompetence in itself is in service of their broader goal of MAKING SURE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE DIE. They don't have to worry about stuff like this, because if Americans die in Israel, it's just another few notches closer to Cloud Daddy's glorious return.

Every decision in Trump's first term can be explained by "he wants money."

Every decision in Trump's second term can be explained by "they want everyone to die so Jesus will come back."

Try going to work tomorrow and saying β€œI’m going to kill you all so my magic friend will visit” and tell the men in white coats I said hello.

It’s almost like you don’t get the full benefits of being a citizen unless you pledge your life to the meat grinder.

i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
