  • The Actual Gavin Newsom Is Much Worse Than You Think

    Jump

  • That's a ridiculously low bar, but it's also an important distinction.

    Do I want Gavin Newsom to be the Democrat nominee for 2028? Hell no! He's revealed himself to be a shallow political opportunist and an ideological chameleon. And I think that party can do better.

    But regardless, would he be an improvement over Trump? Hell yes!

    Another question is: is he - a supposedly populist liberal from California - even electable on a national stage? I don't think so. But then, we live in very 'interesting' times. So who knows.

    The third question is: will we have a fair enough election in 2028 (or an election at all)? That remains to be seen.

    A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | Roblox

    Jump

  • Apparently images alone don't work. It has to be a video following a very specific set of instructions (looking to one side, then to the other, then straight ahead - or something like that).

    But your point still stands. Apparently a lot of kids are getting around this by using AI generated videos, or having a parent do it for them, or just drawing giving facial hair onto themselves.

    Yes, it's definitely worse than Discord. Discord without age verification is still mostly usable. Roblox without it isn't.

    The silver lining for me is that my kids have basically abandoned the platform now. I told them I'm not sending their IDs in because there's such a huge risk of a data breach.

  • Trump receives trophy as he’s named ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal’

  • So he won a made-up award about a made-up technology. Sounds about right.

  • Kid Rock Mocked For Lip Syncing Through MAGA Super Bowl Stunt

    Jump

  • 'Kid' Rock.

    Holy shit, aging has hit him like a sledgehammer. The guy is apparently 55 but looks like he's 75. Is it weak genes? Is it poor lifestyle? Or is it from having a curdled and hate-filled soul? Maybe all three I guess. But regardless, bubba looks like he's about to head to the old folks home any day.

  • What are you getting fatigued from?

    Jump

  • I agree with you on Biden's accomplishments (at least in the first half of his term - he kind of tailed off in the last year or two). But I know some people feel very strongly that he didn't get anything of note done.

    My point is that regardless of whether he got a lot of things done, and regardless of either you after with what he did... he and his staff did it quietly and calmly. And as a result America (and the world) weren't flooded with insane crap. And I really really miss that.

  • What are you getting fatigued from?

    Jump

  • The constant barrage of insane statements and actions from the current US administration. It's exhausting (by design).

    Say what you want about the Biden Administration. It did since good things, and it did since bad things. But it just ran the country in a mostly quiet way. And if nothing else, it was nice to not hear crazy shit from it every fucking day.

  • Trump’s toxic, racist video surpasses previous levels of debasement

    Jump

  • The natural question should be: what new immoral bullshit is he distracting the media and the public from with this video?

    The video is horrible. But there's always something worse coming that he's trying to draw our attention away from.

  • Trump’s toxic, racist video surpasses previous levels of debasement

    Jump

  • Many Americans didn't. But unfortunately too many did. In centuries to come there will be lots of studies about how millions of people could do gleefully self-sabotage. Is it due to some sort of environmental poisoning (lead, plastics, pollution, etc)? Or plain old brainwashing? Maybe be both, maybe sometime else entirely. Either way, it will become a massive cautionary tale.

  • Three-time Trump voter denounces president over racist Obamas video: 'I want to apologize'

    Jump

  • All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency.

    It took you THREE election cycles where you voted for him in each one to figure this out?! Sparky's apparently not the sharpest knife in the kitchen.
