@WetOilyButt half of this app is just gay people being super mean and then other gay people responding with advanced level gender calculus

@danom220_dan @WetOilyButt end ur shit playa

@seetheisolate @WetOilyButt Pipe down, little Kiwi bot 🤖

i don’t know what any of this means

@_Spherical_Cow_ @Catullus_Vincit @blockhead4000 i start rejiggering in public and they arrest me for “public masturbation” trump does it to the economy and they simply accept it it’s all so unfair

@seetheisolate @Catullus_Vincit @blockhead4000 "masterful move mr trump, you're doing what economists call rejiggering commodities markets" trump:

If he manages to use the looming energy crisis to ram through nuclear power we will actually be back and I will eat my shorts

@Catullus_Vincit @blockhead4000 new trumptard cope unlocked “no bro gas prices are high because he’s REJIGGERING bro”

Hes rejiggering the entire energy and commodities flow system. Yes. Were talking Siberian tunnel, A canal across Dubai, nuclear. We are already producing more oil than Saudi and Russia combined. Etc etc. Tariffs are key, and the metals trade. This is why I sleep at night. NO ONE in the MSM gets it, or they do and they arent supposed to talk about it.

@nybct being more mad about some supposed racism in this instance, rather than trump’s blatantly authoritarian necessity to qualify any reporter as either “good” or “bad”, depending on their fealty to him, is maximum cringe radlib shit

これ、日本の人にはわかりづらい表現かもしれないけれど、アメリカではめちゃくちゃレイシストの言い回し。 トランプ、英語にアジア訛りのある記者が質問しようとすると遮り、高市首相に向かって「彼は "one of your people" みたいだな」

@NICKDOTPNG @yandhiisntreal detached irony leftist simpsons avatar criticism

@yandhiisntreal havent read it but in general im tired of people acting like this form of snarky, "im better than you, normies" type posting is an indicator of good criticism

this is awful lmao

@vasuman i’ve heard the same about Meta’s early AI efforts. just eaten alive by project managers

As someone who worked at Reality Labs: the Metaverse had real legs but was obliterated by middle management completely out of touch with how young people actually use technology. I built a V1 tool that game developers genuinely needed, and the moment it was done, it got shipped to a team in London (to die), and I was reassigned to a "higher-priority project" that zero developers asked for. Multiply that by every team, and you'll understand why this never took off yet cost 80 billion.

@GabStarz__ @bostodm @mazzy_starfox @Tsukiya_a @i_zzzzzz depending on your english level you’re probably missing like at least 5 stupid wordplay jokes per episode i would imagine

@seetheisolate @bostodm @mazzy_starfox @Tsukiya_a @i_zzzzzz That's not true, I'm Brazilian and I love XRA

There is only one race - the human race

@bostodm @mazzy_starfox @Tsukiya_a @i_zzzzzz that show is 100% impenetrable to a non-native english speaker probably

@mazzy_starfox @Tsukiya_a @i_zzzzzz Xavier Renegade Angel maybe

@DemiMaxWebspace @_claypot u didnt mention actual peak (nendroid)

@_claypot kind of a shame that people only remember ctrl+alt+delete and not the other webcomics of that era like Awkward Zombie, Brawl in the Family, VG Cats, etc

ctrl+alt+delete was too prominent in the public consciousness and it made people forget that penny arcade was actually pretty funny

@HeelSchiavone @captive_dreamer @ComicDaveSmith conservatives starting to use “neoliberal” and “marxist” as descriptors in the same sentence is truly incredible

@captive_dreamer @ComicDaveSmith Who’s behind these horrible policies?

Epic post, whoever the hell you are. Yes, open borders is a retarded policy. Especially when you’re taking in a bunch of war torn military age fighting men. Now tell me, was that before or after the US launched 6 wars of aggression that slaughtered millions of innocent people?

@somewheresy the dichotomy is crazy

guy in his 30’s. local bartender. LOVES hardcore music! not in a long term relationship. No prospects. hates his job! but you HAVE to listen to his takes on geopolitics. This leftist — believe it or not — says words like Gay and Retarded

@kilotonics @comicbooksmart if it’s not relevant why is it literally a premise in your argument?

@kilotonics @comicbooksmart bruh what to you mean it’s not relevant it’s a claim that you *just* made lmfao

“dark money” isn’t “any entity that could theoretically hide funds ever,” because that describes literally every LLC, private C-corp, S-corp, family trust, family office, partnership, holding company, or even many public companies with subsidiaries. by this logic, almost every corporation on earth is “dark money” actual dark money: 1. anonymous donors we KNOW are hidden (no disclosure required or given) 2. known partisan political purpose (ads, influence ops, rapid-response messaging) the 1630 fund checks both of the above boxes—the Reporters in Residence program checks neither it's funded by one named billionaire (Pierre & Pam Omidyar), supports non-partisan journalism, the journalists maintain full editorial independence, and the purpose of their corporate structure is NOT to obscure donors the screenshot Destiny shared here shows that 1630 gave $45,024 to an Omidyar Network LLC arm in 2022 for “civil rights, social action, advocacy.” he uses this screenshot to suggest that she could potentially be funded by dark money (or is). the problem is that the Reporters in Residence program didn’t even exist yet—it was founded in 2023 (Taylor didn't join until 2025). the journalists get $50,000 over 6 months and the classes for the fellowships are MULTIPLE people, so one $45k grant from 2022 cannot possibly be a source of her funding 3 years later lmao. it's a drop in the bucket compared to what their actual source likely is (primarily just Omidyar) Omidyar’s official statement (still up): “Omidyar Network receives no funding for the Reporters in Residence program via The Sixteen Thirty Fund or any other outside sources.” AND, even if you stretch it, this is a red herring. Lorenz’s article wasn’t “any dark money ever = bad.” it was about the tandem of hidden anonymous political money AND gag contracts AND zero transparency to creators/public. her fellowship has none of that and has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING. this entire “but you get dark money too!”, while being factually untrue, is also just a gigantic red herring that completely sidesteps the core point being made in the article (which is about transparency) maybe for the rest of time we should just pretend @TaylorLorenz DOES take dark money if it would force people to actually engage with the substance of what she wrote about?

@comicbooksmart @kilotonics you’re pointing out a distinction that ultimately doesn’t actually matter in this context because you’re an annoying pedant

@seetheisolate @kilotonics I'm telling you you're conflating the concept of "non-partisan" with "bi-partisan" based on this response "how many right-leaning journalists are in the program?" you don't need to shadowbox and deflect.

@comicbooksmart @kilotonics so now “dark money political motivations” or whatever are *only* bad if they align with either of the 2 major political parties? is that what you’re trying to say 2 me?

@seetheisolate @kilotonics you're thinking of bipartisan, bud.

@kilotonics lol

@manfightdragon @Inferbro english

@Inferbro Are there any languages that do this? It would cause fundamental issues with addressing data procedurally.

Genuine question: Is there anyone out there that likes when programming languages choose to index arrays from 1 instead of 0? Like genuinely, and can you explain why?

@jruss_jruss @allofTAKANAKA when i went shopping in shimokita literally every store was playing stuff like LMFAO and miley cyrus

@allofTAKANAKA Saw this in Shimokitazawa last week.

Masayoshi Takanaka is among the most recognizable names in jazz fusion, but only among listeners in their 60s. In Japan, jazz fusion itself is considered uncool and is now a niche genre.
