Citizenship, bitchez! You know what this means? I can commit crimes and they can't deport me!

@talledcombs You don't heat cold pizza, duh.

HOW DO YOU REHEAT LEFTOVER PIZZA? A. Microwave B. Stovetop C. Oven D. I Never Have Leftover Pizza/Other (Please List Below)

@DanFriedman81 It was fun. End of.

Hogwarts Legacy also defies the “go woke, go broke” trend. It is one of the wokest games I have ever played; as obnoxious about it as Last of Us 2. It depicts a nineteenth century Hogwarts that is about 60% nonwhite. One of the major characters is an African exchange student. A character whose job in the game is to run a series of side quests about solving puzzles in the environment randomly informs you that she is gay. The Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade is run by a non-passing transwoman named Sirona Ryan and there is a sidequest where you collect lost letters to learn the story of Sirona’s transition.

I stopped watching the movies when it got to the dwarf tossing scene. Not sure which movie that was. I was pissed.

@Nerdrotics Claims to be a fan of tolkien......commits the ultimate blasphemy by "expanding" upon the works of a literary genius. No one cares what story colbert wants to tell. F him in his stupid ass

Fuck no

@JarrodRodrigue1 Weird body proportions. Probably not his fault.

There are some things I like about Clavicular, but his physique isn’t one of them. His muscle proportions are just way off. Makes him look like a crackhead with nice delts.

@mattbramanti Claude and ChatGPT do okay.

Gemini is really lousy at CSS

@yioyea @newstart_2024 I know better, but obviously won't convince you.

@sweasel @newstart_2024 If he got the promotion despite children he’s better at the job than you

Steven Bartlett asks the uncomfortable question every employer faces: “What do I do? Give people three years off when they have a kid?” Erica Komisar’s blunt answer: “Give them as much time off as you possibly can — men and women, whoever is the primary attachment figure. Then give them real flexibility: part-time, job-sharing, working from home, leaving early. Accept that parents with young children won’t stay as late as childless employees. Tough. Life isn’t fair. Healthy children matter more than perfect parity.” The early years (especially the first 3) are the critical attachment window. Prioritizing parental presence isn’t just nice — it’s foundational for emotional health, resilience, and long-term societal outcomes. Employers & parents: Should companies be expected to accommodate long parental leave and flexible hours for young kids, even if it creates imbalance with childless staff? Or is that asking too much in a competitive world? Your honest take 👇

@BigDickEnvyDad @OrwellNGoode No idea. Always wondered.

@sweasel @OrwellNGoode Why was she working as the heir to the moon pie fortune

@Barphbie0 Poor Protoplasm

Degameth

@gullyfo96096122 @OrwellNGoode Well played, sir! (I assume).

@sweasel @OrwellNGoode You're still a babe. (I assume). I Googled the inventor of Moon Pies and he had one daughter, so I pretended that I was knowledgeable.

@gullyfo96096122 @OrwellNGoode No idea the woman's name. This was in Chattanooga in the early Sixties. I was but a babe.

@sweasel @OrwellNGoode You knew Anna Foster?

@XxninjadraycoxX @OrwellNGoode I don't like to brag.

@sweasel @OrwellNGoode So you’re basically famous right?

There's one near me that's run by Turks. I ordered a burrito to go and it came as a burrito assembly kit: cold ingredients in one box, hot in another and the sauce in a third. It wasn't bad, but the tortilla was in with the melty cheese so you couldn't really arrange it into a burrito.

One real Mexican restaurant would be life-changing in any British small city.

@wil_da_beast630 There's a Taco Bell in Eastbourne. Not real Mexican, but I crave Taco Bell sometimes.

@bitmaelstrom Brain hurt.

@sweasel The thing about Life is that you can recreate a simple computer with it. And you could then program that computer...to play Life. youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iI…

I assure you my desk was never this neat, and I had never even contemplated a book stand. Also, I used David H. Ahl's books. Magazines seemed like a gyp.

@bitmaelstrom Not a clue. I never did learn to write proper code, though I could cobble something together that worked. Play life if yo have a mindta: playgameoflife.com

@sweasel This taught debugging skills. Especially if you were typing it in with no comprehension of what was going on!

@YesThatVCharles It wasn't even bad enough to be fun. It was just corporate slop.

Anyone defending the writing team of the freshly canceled “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will be preemptively blocked…

@buzzleapedyear @InezFeltscher That was the rationale for the HMO, but it didn't really work out, did it?

@sweasel @InezFeltscher Which is stupid and not what any other first world nation does. Regular checkups and doctor visits help prevent massive expenses down the road. America is such a backwards place sometimes.

Catastrophic insurance is actually what “insurance” is supposed to mean. Routine costs (doc visits, occasional urgent care, prescriptions, the sort of stuff that people predictably use) were paid in cash - and were cheaper because of it. INSURANCE was supposed to be for unpredictable costs, like getting cancer or hit by a bus. And catastrophic insurance was fantastic for that purpose without breaking the bank. “Insurance” for predictable, routine costs that most people incur is just called “paying overhead on top of expenses,” which is why most people carry accident insurance but not maintenance insurance on their cars. It wasn’t consumers who were stupid.
