“Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it’s probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day”

I don't have great memory but "Blackcoat's daughter" and "They look like people". Each should scar him for life though

in fairness, slovakia seems to want to screw the police out of pay raises after they got held back several times, (and of course maybe i'm just projecting competence) but what if there's an interesting new paradigm where the state no longer cares about the overall repressive apparatus

i think it's good for a major to call the military fat and gay and then skip out on their pay, i think that bodes well

Y'know, when people have asked me about my dream game, I've always said a runaway slave + Underground Railroad project or something set in or around the Haitian Revolution.

Someone somewhere is already taking this on and infusing the work with all the courage that the subject matter deserves.

"Stash gathers information about videos in your collection from the internet, and is extensible through the use of community-built plugins for a large number of content producers and sites." that doesn't sound dangerous at all

Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

occurs to me that LLM slop, far from making translators obsolete or making their jobs impossible, is actually going to usher in a new renaissance when they inevitably collapse after poisoning the well. I think there's gonna be demand someday again

obviously he's a liar and a moron and thinks its 1992 but what we saw here was him claim Portland is a warzone, talk to the mayor of Portland and come back genuinely confused, and then a couple weeks later he's convinced again

I am saying once again that the Conservative attack on the Arts is because they are incredibly envious of artists who they perceive as a group that has “too much” cultural power, a type of influence Conservatives crave but will never have because they’re anti-intellectuals with no imagination.
