Pokemon is well-known for false choices in their dialogue- but in Scarlet/Violet a character asks you if you want to be "Rivals for life" and if you keep saying "No" she keeps asking more and more aggressively until she's just yelling "YOU. ME. RIVALS. YES?". It always gets me for some reason.

Ok team — funniest -interactive- moments and jokes in games? Not cutscene based, prompted either by gameplay interaction or a choice

Examples:
- Portal 2’s asking you to press space to speak to confirm you don’t have brain damage, and jumping instead
- Baldur’s Gate 3 Volo Eye extraction

A comment you've likely seen me make is that I believe the anti-trans "medical inspection" requirements are designed to teach children that they should think it's normal for random adult strangers to require them to take off their clothes.

They're still both reprehensible human beings, so it would be hard to tell in most cases.

These are not mutually exclusive. Making them aware of the racism of Reform is a key part of educating those voters.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

This is a great reminder that the vast number of WWII propaganda posters are government works free of copyright and therefore available to remix!

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Republican Senators, with an assist from Sen. John Fetterman, voted down an attempt to block the Trump administration’s missile strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats. interc.pt/4o9CBur

A photo of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., sits on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 1, 2025, in Washington, overlaid with the headline, "Fetterman Is Sole Democrat to Vote Against Blocking Caribbean Drug Boat Attacks," and the DEK, "It was the first time members of Congress were put on record about whether they supported or opposed the president’s war in the Caribbean."

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Travyon Martin was not a threat. He was an innocent boy who was not allowed to live a prosperous life. Dylann Roof, on the other hand, remains a unrepentant menace in prison and the link between Columbine and Rittenhouse.

A White Christian nationalist pastor argued recently on a right-wing podcast that the Bible--specifically Deuteronomy 21, about how a father must bring his rebellious son to the town square to be stoned--justifies state violence against Black boys and young men.

Benny has long been obsessed with this imagery. He once demanded a co-worker do a photoshoot of him draped in an American flag.

He left the flag on the floor, with zero sense of irony. I folded it with another Eagle Scout.

(also the person he's promoting here is a white supremacist)

Reform has racist policies

People support Reform

People support racist policies.

This is just how logic works.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

I wrote the bulk my first (and so far only) award-winning game in less than a day. I did another game in 36 hours straight.

It probably isn't a good idea to admit this where my professors can see it but 90% of my work is done the day before it is due. It's just how I work. Don't need AI for that.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Like this is not life advice. I should have done more homework in school. But leaning on GenAI is like giving yourself a daily lobotomy. Or pulling out your own teeth. You’re robbing yourself of survival skills and reverting to a pond organism.

Probably because there are a lot of people in those states who are marginalized and vulnerable. And leaving them to die is kinda rude.
