All right, seeing as how this site has the juice I figured I should make an actual pinned comment.

I'm an autistic guy working a dead end job but with a knack for IT that I'm hoping to make into a career. I also sometimes do writing but I'm really bad at keeping up with it. Major issue.

People of the future are going to look at that 99-0 confirmation vote, go “what the actual fuck, man?” and we’ll have to explain that no, there genuinely was no indication he’d become Trump’s Heinrich Himmler instead of maybe the only voice of reason in a Project 2025 administration

rubio remains maybe the most shocking heel turn in the administration

I see a lot of "Trump" or "Diddy" in online game lobbies and all I can think is that some people are fucking psychos.
Of course, your shocked reaction is what they want so it's a lose-lose scenario.

Maybe that's a case where beatings need to be applied. Where morality doesn't sway, force will.

The Editor In Chief, @nickjcal.bsky.social was trying to pull things back and building up a site that could rely on more than Yahtzee. And then he got fired, everyone else (including Yahtzee) left, and they all founded @secondwindgroup.com.

Actually it's more like your old friend being hollowed from the inside out and their soul escaping into another body.

On a related note, check out @secondwindgroup.com.

That's fair but Gunn's saying that because the comic it's based on, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, is straight up True Grit in space with Supergirl filling in for Rooster Cogburn.

I like reading Halo novels. Are they what you’d call “Real Literature?” No, not really.
Do they kick ass and cause me to binge one in five hours? Yes.

Isn’t that just surrender logic?

So does my Linux box. It's only when I try and do stuff much more advanced than the average user that it's an issue.

Maybe it's the distro I use, CachyOS, but I haven't had issues with GPU drivers.

The start menu still got those ads?

Ah, I never watched True Detective so I didn’t know. Thank you.

I use a MacBook too, but Mac is behind Linux in terms of gaming.

I use a Mac because it just works, like an adult

Well the problem is that Windows is actively working to shove adware BS down peoples throat. That's what's making the Linux devotees louder than before.

Uhhh, someone wanna explain that?

Never ask these people what happened to Friedrich Paulus after Stalingrad.

Spookbringer @smellbringer.bsky.social · 3d

The Soviets did that too. Just not the NATO part… because they didn’t have NATO.
The Soviets did it for the Warsaw Pact though. Hell, they even did it in World War II. Ever wonder what happened to Paulus after the 6th Army was captured?

I’m autistic, my nephew is most likely autistic.
My nephew, if he’s autistic, will have a worse life than I do and it’ll be his grandfathers fault.

It’s a good thing that I’m just always angry now. Otherwise I might have had an outburst at my Dad and ruined my nieces birthday party.

What would a proper hat be?

I wear a beanie in winter but that don’t fly in summer.
