The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

Cyberpunk 2077 presents an overly optimistic vision of America in 50 years in imagining a major city that is pedestrian friendly and has functional public transit

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Chef's kiss.

you have to call off the state police that is roughing up protesters if you are serious.

digital media is dying not because it’s a bad way to cover the news or people don’t care about the news but because the people who now own these sites are increasingly 1) uninterested in covering the news as opposed to turning a profit 2) ignorant of what covering the news requires

as someone who was a teenage girl on the internet, i think making AI-generated revenge porn of a minor should get you the electric chair actually

I, too, would pound Darby's head off of plexiglass if only because of that fucking "Hoodlum" jacket.

Woof. This is even more dismissive and insulting when you see her say it than when you read it.

This might be my fault, I've kinda been usurping the "white boy talking about holes in Magic" space, and for that I am sorry

I’m a subscriber to The Onion print edition and trust me, the ads alone are worth it

we’ve gone so far past “sex workers are the canaries in the coal mine” re: internet freedom, to an internet that’s run off and robbed from all the sex workers in order to replace them with planet-destroying simulations of sex workers

you're gonna explode into mist when you bump your funny bone about 36 hours from now

head injuries, child abuse and lead poisoning brought us the serial killers of the 60s and 70s, and now it’s giving us the entire right-wing of the United States political system.

the more I read about the promises OpenAI has made, the more disgusted I am. They've promised to deploy 10GW of Broadcom chips *by the end of 2029*, a chip that has yet to tape out, in data centers yet to be planned or funded or the power acquired. We are in a black hole of ethics and good sense.

Free speech is when you are punished for criticizing the President’s favorite podcaster.

The entire economy depends on this horseshit so it's your patriotic duty to ask the computer to honk your bingus several times a day
