Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • Monopoly Go is the highest-budget video game so far.

    Jump

  • This is extra funny because not only is the gameplay shit on purpose, it's shit on purpose as a criticism of capitalism.

    Monopoly is supposed to be frustrating as a reflection of how frustrating life is under capitalism, and here comes capitalism to sell an even more annoying version full of popups and money grabs.

    The death of satire is a well with no end.

  • Excuse Me?

    Jump

  • One time I was trying to work out if the people at the next table were Australian. It was a crowded cafe so I was having trouble hearing them.

    Then luckily one of them said, "Aw fuck I was fucking fucked eh?" and removed all doubt.

    The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

    Jump

  • This is a common refrain online but doesn't really make sense.

    Antisemitism means prejudice against Jewish people.

    Separately, the technical term "semitic" is used to mean a subgroup of related afro-asiatic languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Akkadian, Phonecian, Assyrian, et al.

    The fact that the word for prejudice against Jews contains a root word that refers to a different classification is just one of those weird language things - antisemitism has only ever meant prejudice against Jews.

  • a unique quality to the feeling of it's drive

    I have to admit I'm skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.

    Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we're told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.

    As humans it's rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.

  • U.S. Marshal wrongly detained by ICE agents in lobby of federal building

    Jump

  • the deputy marshal “fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE.”

    100% chance the description was "Mexican".

  • how about gluttony in December...

    Jump

  • Lust and gluttony don't need a month, they've got everything figured out. Sloth couldn't care. Wrath and greed already rule the world. And envy is sad cat face about everything

  • 30 to 40 olives

    Jump

  • Greens and pointier browns, the greens were incredible, but I always prefer green olives.

  • 30 to 40 olives

    Jump

  • When I worked at a fair trade store we had these Palestinian olives that were so damn good. Every morning I'd open a jar for customers to sample, eat olives till I made myself sick, then do it again the next day. Good times.

  • What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?

    Jump

  • Not being able to unpin email chains unless you change it to non-threaded replies, select all, unpin, then go back to threaded replies like a civilized lifeform. Otherwise it just repins the chain when it refreshes.

    Our office also uses teams phones which still don't have a way to show missed calls. We literally cannot call people back if we don't get to the med room phone in time.

  • How in good conscience are you posting links to a news site that is actively involved in a fascist coup?

  • Tesla Owners are Installing DIY Rip Cords to Avoid Being Trapped in Their Vehicles in Case of Fire

    Jump

  • The manual door open on some models of Teslas require removing 2 panels that are not labeled and need a diagram to know how to remove them. Another requires removing the speaker grill and pulling an unlabeled wire.

    Even once the manual door release is pulled, without power you need a firefighter's upper body strength to open the door, and it's likely that flames and poisonous smoke will be coming up any tiny gap you can create by pushing open the door a little.

    Just willful disregard of your customers' lives.

  • Tesla Owners are Installing DIY Rip Cords to Avoid Being Trapped in Their Vehicles in Case of Fire

    Jump

  • And some of those are really horrific. I think in one of the CA crashes, one person was able to be pulled out a window before the battery cooking off got too hot for anyone to approach and help the three others who were trapped and died.

    That's not how a fascist coup backed by the majority of our corrupt elites works.

  • When he gets belly rubs he often raises his arms above his head in a "hands up don't shoot" pose, and he always looks scared. I don't have a photo of it cause I'm always too focused on getting that belly.

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

  • When I look at the quality of prominent Americans who went to ivy league schools, I don't think cheating your way through college will make much difference.
