Yeah those are the strongest part, but very well supported by the shiny dome, gray stubble and classic Hugo boss grey of his jacket.

He really does. I’d say coincidence… but the probability is that it’s more intentional than accidental.
No I didn’t know that, would be interesting to see more of them try it, just for curiositys sake.
It makes me wonder—would the dynamic change if there was only an upvote? So you could choose not to upvote, but the default action would be a neutral one, and if you liked/wanted to support/etc you could signal that.
I see tons of posts on here now that are downvoted to oblivion, because they are a legitimate article that says something a group doesn’t like. There won’t even be comments on the post. So like a Reuter article that discusses Palestinian casualties and no comments and like -20. This doesn’t seem like a super useful mechanism. Or at least, it’s just functioning today as a content preference “I don’t want to see this typed content” as opposed to “this is bad info, out of line with the community, etc.”
And despite ranking my list by either hot, or top day/six hours, I still see the downvoted posts regularly so the mechanic doesn’t even really do anything in terms of visibility. Or possibly there’s just too little content on a given community for it to get filtered out.
Go all in on milking generational divide and do like a Taylor Swift / Kendrick Lamar ticket. I definitely think either of them could do a better job at being president than our current batch of options.
I watched the video from the “creative scientist” has on YouTube and unless someone has further info, this looks like a completely speculative fiction project.
Everything about this screams fake. It also all sounds like a horrible idea. They’re basically discussing traumatizing inmates at 10x speed. Given that a lot of criminals come from a background of trauma, I’d wonder here if you’d be doing more harm than good. There’s claims in this article that are absurd, without some form of clarification. What the hell is a “creative scientist” as a title—I’m not familiar with that discipline. Also, let’s uhh say am that all this was real, and possible. This tech would be a net evil in the world. If you can use it to brainwash inmates into cringing when they think about doing crime, you can also use it to torture dissenters into conformists. Given that the tech is already aimed at an element of the state security apparatus, there’s like no chance this wouldn’t get used for much worse purposes. I think they’re also misunderstanding how prison is used in many places. In NA, prison does not seem to be about rehabilitation, but just punishment and getting free labor.
“It’d be a real shame if something happened to your work file. If you pay us monthly, we can make sure your work is protected”
That means the he probably took a shit on the desk. It’s standard playbook with all them—you accuse the opposition of doing the freaky shit you’re actually doing.
But to be fair, it’s very likely both of them wear diapers, so there could have been an accident, eh?
It’s similar to how they’re using the disaster to decry open borders allowing terrorists in. Meanwhile, the crew on the bridge that died in the disaster, on their night shift lunch break from fixing potholes, was made up almost exclusively of immigrants… everything is just an opportunity to grab engagement for your talking points now, no matter how absurd. The idea that this disaster is being used to fan hatred of immigrants, while the people who were killed were literally hard-working immigrants… it just breaks my brain.
So basically I guess, no surprise that they’re also somehow connecting the bridge to Brandon Scott, and diversity hires (lol, he won an election fuckos, not an HR hiring process). It’s all a part of the unreality we now live in.
Haha went in blind and was… appropriately surprised. Pretty cool.
Haha I fully clicked on these expecting more commentary about shutdowns. Almost LOLed at the RL Stine.
It’s almost worse than actually just laying off x% of a workforce—you stress everyone out and force them to contemplate leaving, some amount do (achieving the ulterior motive) and the rest who didn’t leave now have increased workload and are also immiserated by being forced to commute to a stupid cube farm some portion of the week. It’s like they found a way to make layoffs affect everyone more than they already did in the past.
I feel like originally it was a semi-safe taboo to break that made a standard porn setup seem more forbidden/risqué. It always seemed weird, like how many people have step siblings that also fantasize about them sexually, how big could this be? But it just kept on coming, so to speak.
Now I think it’s just a meme/SEO thing, where you have to include it even if the video is not even pretending to be about that. Also it happened around the same time that websites were pushing/pivoting into more content creator type things, and so it’s probably related to that as well. Like the annoying face+exaggerated reaction thing on YouTube…
Either way, always seemed whacky that everything the sites serve is almost completely step-porn on the front page.
Didn’t know that, so that’s hopeful. I always just assume there’s ways for people like this to string it out and avoid paying.
So can someone who knows tell me: how likely is it that she collects this?
Wild, so understandably android is a much greater share, given the wide variety of phones it can run on… I’m guessing iOS is a favored app market because it’s more monolithic or stable? Or put another way the android share is fragmented all over the place?
This is something I always wonder about—is there a good source for realistic market share of mobile os?
Unsurprising. Democratic PACs spent millions during the last election cycle supporting the most extreme trump-aligned weirdos they could find. The strategy, I think, was that they wanted the “worst” candidates to win primaries and therefore make the dem candidates look that much better. That, as well as just increasing dysfunction in the republican primaries. It actually backfired in a few cases I think.
The republicans haven’t had many chances to do this in reverse, because there haven’t been many trump-adjacent populist types in the democratic field to hang their hat on; RFK jr is their opportunity.
You have to wonder about the future and legitimacy of a system that incentivizes supporting and amplifying these types of weirdos, over actually providing any substantial candidates or solutions.
CI hadn’t realized this was Clay Higgins. If you haven’t heard what this clown sounds like, you’re in for a treat.
