  • Trump's harsh immigration tactics are taking a political hit

    Jump

  • I really hate that masked men murdering innocent people in the streets is referred to as "harsh immigration tactics".

  • Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 | Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.

    Jump

  • I think we just need to revise the laws to say that a cop's testimony doesn't have any more weight than anyone else's testimony unless it's backed up by their bodycam.

    Taking cops at their word made sense when we didn't have this technology. It doesn't make sense anymore.

  • The Circle of Life is the core tenet of an environmentalist death cult that rules the Pridelands. The hyenas are exiled to the outlands because they won't conform to the Lions' religious dogma.

  • Which is the better perspective?

  • Why can't it be both? Too many people think that nuanced movies can't be fun. It's even dumber when they think a movie must not be nuanced just because it is fun. (Like anyone who talks about super hero movies like the entire genre is one bad movie.)

  • Billionaire Ehud Laniado dies during penis enlargement surgery, surgeons banned

  • Maybe it's a dick the size of a gorilla, not the size of a gorilla's dick.

  • De-Escalating Social Media

    Jump

  • It seems like it should be unnecessary, like we already have ways of conveying this sentiment, so why have a button with such a narrow function?

    But on the other hand, making it normal for people to admit their mistakes online? That would be a huge step forward. And if there's a button there for it, it would get used.

  • Man who squirted apple cider vinegar on Ilhan Omar is charged with assaulting and intimidating her

  • No that's Cysco. You're thinking of the captain from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

  • I wanted to be a writer or maybe an artist. I figured I had to do something creative and big, because I could never picture myself doing a normal 9-5 with a wife and kids or whatever. I was smart, but I was a bad student and couldn't force myself to put in the work.

    Turns out it was just undiagnosed ADHD. Now I work as a systems analyst (Excel guy) with a wife and two kids. Later today or tomorrow it'll be three kids.

    I'm lucky. My job is interesting sometimes, but mostly it's easy and I get to spend the important parts of my day being a dad, which it turns out I love.

    Sometimes I draw for fun as a creative outlet. I've made a few webcomics. I'm working on a longer comic for my daughter featuring a character she made up called "Princess Super Speed Girl".

  • Put your song in the comments

  • Mine is simpler: Bucky Buucky... Bucky, BUUUuucky

    But it's with an old-timey warble. Never fails to summon him.

    After years of getting him to come to us by singing the Bucky song, I realized that if he comes to us because he likes the song, then he might want us to keep singing it. So I tried that, and he purred louder.

    We had another cat, Sasha. Her song was like SASHASASHAsashaSASHASASHAsAsHASASHASASHASASHASASHASASHA. It suited her. Our new cat, Agatha, doesn't have a song yet. I guess we should come up with one.

  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

  • I'm usually too lazy when it comes to canceling things, but I canceled Game Pass right away. $30 per month is just offensive.

  • Tried that. During the last step it switches back to mobile mode and gives a 404 error.

  • Sorry, I meant mobile browser. I don't use a PC.

  • Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

    Jump

  • I tried switching to desktop mode on my phone and it switched back to mobile during the last step and gave me a 404 error. I don't use a PC.

    So oh well.

  • Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

    Jump

  • Figured I'd sign up to preserve my username just in case, but it doesn't work without an app. Oh well.

    These sites are supposed to be gateways to the internet. Why the fuck would you put that in any app other than a browser?

  • Ford Worker Suspended for Calling Trump a ‘Pedophile Protector’ Says He Has ‘No Regrets Whatsoever’

  • If people can't afford cars, they'll just create subsidies using middle class tax money.

  • What is your favorite thing about being a parent?

    Jump

  • I just really, really like being with them. They're sweet, they're so smart, and they love me. I want to hang out with them. I want them to come to the grocery store with me. I want to play games and have tickle fights and sing silly songs with them.

    But my favorite thing is probably how funny they are. I write some of it down. Most of these happened when they were three.

     

    "Did somebody draw us?"

    "What do you mean?"

    "Like before we were real. Did somebody draw us to make us real?"

     

    My son sees numbers painted on the sidewalk and asks if they're letters:

    "ABCDEFG. Is that from that?"

     

    "What if it was someone's birthday when they already passed away? That would be sad. Then they wouldn't be able to eat their cake."

     

    My wife helps my son to use the potty, and she takes off his jacket first:

    "Mommy, did you forget where my penis is? Did you think it's up here? It's not. It's down here."

     

    After I read my daughter Rikki Tikki Tavi, which features a snake named Nag:

    Daughter: "Nag is tall. Nag is as long as you are tall."

    Wife: "Is he five feet long? I'm five feet tall" Daughter: "Snakes don't have feet"

     

    When searching for the opposite of "inside out", instead of saying "right side in" my daughter called it "un-inside out", which I think actually makes more sense.

     

    "You need to behave."

    "Ok. I'm being have."

     

    Finishing a long conversation with the cat:

    "Next time I'm going to teach you to say words."

     

    My third child will most likely be born this week, and the thing I'm looking forward to most is late night feedings. People complain about those and I can't sympathize. I love them.

    There'll be a day when I'd give anything to go back and relive those moments, holding my baby at 2am, singing them to sleep. It's a perfect moment.

    I was never that big on the idea of kids before I had them. I deeply, deeply value my independence. But this is good too.

  • That wasn't even stupidity. He just realized partway through the sentence that he didn't want there to be an audio clip of him saying "shame on me." So he tried to change it and made it so much worse.

    If anything this makes him more relatable.
