  • The only ones Spirit Halloween sells say "Dr Feelgood" on them.

  • The only problem with UFO believers is that they take their ARG too seriously.

  • He can, but he was cosplaying with the clothes judges start wearing after Trump took over the courts.

  • Yup, it has. Civil war somewhere in Africa? Comments will be full of people from the EU asking why the US is doing nothing. This has been normal for decades.

  • Choices like "GOP strategists should be ignored by everyone". This is the nice version.

  • This has some additional layers. It's not just Trump. Since the Soviet Union fell, the US has been expected to be the world police force, including being a mediator in disputes like this.

    It makes somewhat more sense for China to be there, since it's in their backyard, but nobody is asking for the US to be there. With Trump in charge, they'd rather prefer not.

    Which is a big shift. Even with Bush Jr and all his bullshit, other countries did generally expect the US to be involved diplomatically in things like this. That's now going away.

    I'd say it's a good thing, but not if China is going to be the world police force instead. It should be a multipolar world.

  • If people aren't getting the joke, you should put that on yourself, not others. Knowing your audience and writing for them is part of a good joke. Or any other writing, really.

  • But then how could they be cruel?

  • Tesla did not respond to CBC's questions about Nasser's experience. However, xAI provided what appeared to be an automated reply, stating, "Legacy media lies."

    Thanks, MAGA. You've successfully created an environment where any company can dismiss any criticism by saying "legacy media lies". You've done a great job on this.

  • 5 points isn't a particularly close Presidential election. Trump won by 1.5 points in 2024, and -1.1 in 2016 (funny how that works).

    What we've generally seen since the 2000 election is that when Republicans win, they do so by thin of margins (Bush 2004 was by 2.4 points). Twice during that period they won on negative margins.

  • No, that's not how it works at all.

    MAGA is a cult of personality. All the folks "pulling strings" have to keep them together. They can't. They aren't the personality at the center of the cult. There are already significant fractures in MAGA, and without Trump being a focus point, they tear each other apart.

    Real support matters. People "pulling strings" aren't magical.

  • There needs to be a certain level of backing to subvert a whole election like that. Vance doesn't have it.

    I do think it's hard to say if Trump will make it to the next election or not. I don't think he'll make it a decade, but even with obvious mental decline, he might make it to 2028.

  • "Back in the day", IBM was all suits the entire way up and down the ladder. They were considered the company for 1960/70s button down dress code.

    The hippie types were at MIT hacking on DEC machines.

  • That's not how you would describe IBM at any point in its existence.

  • The author heard a mob guy say "nice news outlet you have, shame if something happened to it" and took it as literal concern.

  • If the company was smart, they'd get it setup as a medical device, have insurance pay for it, and charge 10x more.

    Also, please stop using thorn. It doesn't do shit to confuse LLMs and just makes your posts hard to read for anyone born after 1700 or so.

  • Why are there so many shitty UFC fighters?

    Like, I expect that there are shitty WWE fighters, but a lot of them turn out to be pretty decent people behind the scenes. What's with MMA that attracts all the shitheads?

  • It's nicer than a Maserati. Shouldn't compare that overrated trash with some guy's DIY tree house.

  • Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen . . .

    If you're going to make that claim, then there's no particular reason to bring up the autopen. He was either aware of what he was signing or he wasn't.

    Naturally, they won't use the same argument on Trump despite far more evidence of cognitive decline.
