  • A while back you’d have caught edgy atheist phony-god me being like “crystals are bullshit, I ain’t buying that!” but these days I look at them and am like, “hmmm, it’s not a subscription, and worst case scenario I have a cool rock on my desk… sold!”

  • Pete Hegseth Compares Trump to Jesus Amid Crazy AI Post Scandal

    Jump

  • history is written by the victors, as they say; perhaps jesus was a piece of shit and his legacy was slowly shifted from being a piece of shit to what we know him as today. and all the early wars people had in religions he was a component in were actually in part to find and destroy any records saying otherwise.

  • as /s as OP, yes

  • I just mean the old cars in an upper class neighborhood are less likely to be driven by poor people while still being vulnerable to this siphoning because yes, sadly newer cars have meshes or locking mechanisms to deter gas siphoning.

    But I mean if there’s bigotry stickers on the car by all means go whole ham no matter where it’s parked. Hell stick a lentil in the tire valve caps while you’re at it.

  • Do it in an upper class neighborhood at least.

    Older cars are the only ones susceptible to this, and those aren’t generally driven by the types of people who can easily afford more gas.

  • Microsoft reveals major price increase for all Surface PCs as RAM crisis continues

    Jump

  • I remember when the first Surface released and Gabe from Penny Arcade was like "wtf this is better than iPad for drawing. why aren't they advertising this aspect of it?"

    I don't know if that's still true, but I always tucked it in the back of my mind when I was looking for drawing tablets.

  • Great, now what?

    Jump

  • 23andme taught me I was part Ashkenazi, but in hindsight I probably should've picked up on that having been raised on Mel Brooks, The Three Stooges, Stan Freberg, The Marx Brothers, grandpa's really being into matzo ball soup, and us having the menorah out during the holidays.

    ...oh right, and being circumcised.

    Anyways, $200 I didn't need to spend. I hope the clone Doug armies of the future will forgive me.

  • ~99% of horses are 1 horsepower, there's just one horse from Nevada who was locked in a barn during those nuclear tests in the 50's putting the others to shame.

    Jump

  • So 1 horsepower or .5 horsepower?

  • Trump’s acting AG Todd Blanche defends president’s ‘right’ and ‘duty’ to investigate political foes

  • Hoarding + fear of death + erroneously thinking wealth will increase likelihood of immortality or leaving behind a legacy someone may reincarnate them + thinking everyone is out to get them (which— sure, we are, but only because they’re hoarding wealth) + dehumanizing everyone else = billionaires

    I would like to think if the future is ever capable of bringing someone back from the dead, they’ll know not to resurrect a cancer of a person.

  • Bluesky Users Respond With Overwhelming Disgust to Platform’s New AI

  • afaic it’s the “for profit” that tanks these places and nothing else. it’s why I went more into mastodon than Bluesky.

  • Hey there

    Jump

  • One experience I had with an anesthesiologist was pretty much them putting the mask on me, a moment or so passes and I ask "wait, aren't you gonna ask me to count down from 10 or something?" and the guy was like "...what? oh, right, uh, sure... countdown from 10 or whatever." "10-- zzzzzzzzzzzz"

  • This is the worst episode of St. Elsewhere.

    Jump

  • because nearly every single c&h comic and animated vid uses male pronouns/male voices for characters that haven’t got boobs, because the cis male authors have been drawing it this way since the early 00s before non-binary is where it got today.

    Nothing to do with comfort of non-binary persons. Just to context of the writers.

    Rude not to Shaka back 🤙

  • Natures wine bottle openers

    Jump

  • Ok, if that’s what you think is happening. 🤙 agree to disagree. have a great day bud.

  • Natures wine bottle openers

    Jump

  • Nah they put boobs on ‘em if they’re women; otherwise the default’s a man.

    Again I’ve moved on as OP implored me to do in their deleted comment, but uhhh, whatever drives engagement I suppose. 🤙

  • Natures wine bottle openers

    Jump

  • I mean I didn’t conflate anything; the comic writer opted for the term rape. there’s a whole separate argument about how maybe rape isn’t the right word in the rest of the animal kingdom because it has weight among humans and saying it’s the same thing gets used in a rapists’ mindset that it’s natural and justified.

    But that’s a whole ‘nother thread.

    Anyways, yeah, I did kick off. You shared your comic with rape in it and I’m putting in my two cents. No refunds for either of us, eh? Have a good one. Moving on, as you say.

    Edit: OP deleted their original comment wherein they told me to “kick off” and that I took a comic too seriously 🤷 just uuuh, discussing humor… if you’re mad for me saying jokes with rape aren’t funny to me, that’s your prerogative just as it is mine to state an opinion.
