Sorry, I don’t make the rules. Oh, wait… yes, I do.

@Gaurab If only we could use steam power instead. Steam turbines are much cheaper and easier. But then we'd need source of heat. Like some sort of magic rock that radiated energy all by itself. We could call it "radiothermal steam generation". If only rocks like that existed.

I don’t think pure evil Ever really works… all the best stories show enough of the villain POV that you at least understand their reasons. For example, Vader is two dimensional in the first movie, then becomes interesting, but more evil as we see his relationships with the kids develop. By contrast, Palpatine is great in the prequels as we see his schemes slowly come to fruition. But he is a cardboard cutout of boring evil the rest of the series, just an Evil voice with a melty mask and a sinister hooded robe.

Star Trek writer Dayton Ward says the only villains worth writing are the ones you can almost agree with. "The most interesting villains are the ones who think they're doing the right thing for the right reasons. You can almost sympathize with what they're doing — even if you can't condone it." Does a villain need a justifiable motive to be compelling, or does pure evil still work?

@hosinohosimaru We have to save the Yamato so it can be turned into a starship one day.

To the white BMW driver with the “FOREMOM” license plate: You drive like a jackass.

Retard of the day

@AndriaDont99498 In this specific case, shouldn’t that be Yo Aunt/Mama

We're bringing Yo Mama jokes back in 2026. Yo Mama so stupid she pronounces World War II World War eleven.

Hey @BumpstockKen saw this and thought of someone lol

My life is nothing but suffering and endless misery; I have no half & half for my tea 😭😭😭

Not a fair comparison. The first is a posed photo, the second is a screen shot from a video while she is either mid sentence or listening to someone asking her a question. at least grab a posed picture for a similar frame of reference.

I am once again asking you to submit photos of your pets to be featured on PCC!

This is Heem, he’s currently going through an “I’m a turtle” phase. @Brettdasovic #PCCPets

Quick life update: I have not shit my pants the entirety of 2026!

@Krissa_Kray_ Looks like sauerkraut

sorry what's that $.22 thing??

…

@SenatorWarnock Because it’s not the government’s job to buy anyone a house. It is the government’s job to defend and protect our borders. See how easy it is when you understand the actual role of government? You should look it up sometime.

@WookieBurgers @DnDOnTap This is a vastly unfair comparison… Dinklage is by far the superior actor.

Looks like somebody shrunk in the dryer!!!!!

@1MansHealth @garrettbridges @SirajAHashmi My first thought as well.

@garrettbridges @SirajAHashmi Body Snatchers

Imagine waking up from a coma and this is the first thing you see. Futurama shit right here.

@ingelramdecoucy They arrested them for it… That’s a surprise.

*Pretends to be shocked*
