“I made a deal with our political rivals where they got everything they wanted and we got nothing in return because I am a master of deal making”

-Our future president, after having an illegal phonecallwith a foreign head of state while out of office

This can only be “normalized” in the same way that gambling can be normalized. You can also write an article filled with testemonials of people who want to elaborate on the positive sides of gambling. This is an article of someone under financial strain being roped in to spending hundreds a month that she’s hiding from her husband. It’s an unhealthy addiction and should be discussed as such.

I once made fun of someone on hexbear for denying genocide. A few days later, all of my recent comments had exactly the same number of downvotes, somewhere in the ballpark of 20, all across different communities. Whichever one of those comments received the least upvotes is my personal winner.

As an added bonus, this was after hexbear disabled downvotes, so they had to either pay for bots or run bots on an instance other than hexbear to pull that off.

Edit: Looks like a tankie read this and decided the appropriate response was to go to my profile and comment unhinged replies on all my recent comments. Thanks mods for cleaning them up so quickly.

People have been making jokes about “Red #3 maxing” for months.

At time of writing, the top posts on this sub are about meta’s influence over politics, the enduring value of physical media, someone made an art gallery in doom, and Meta’s lack of censorship and how that affects minorities. This community is absolutely on topic discussing technology news and if you think otherwise, you are being absurd.

If you’re looking for articles about how some university claims they’ve invented a new battery 1 million times as powerful, stop diluting yourself. “Corporate shenanigans” of big tech companies IS TECHNOLOGY NEWS. Any statement to the contrary is pure hallucination about a world that never existed.

Wise, Sauron is an unkillable evil unless you destroy the one ring, and if you tried to shoot Gollum, you’d almost certainly miss.

Interesting how they just casually state that they have full access to his chatgpt history. This case is a speedrun of all the ways cops can jump across ethical boundaries.

LAS CRUCES LET’S GOOOOO!!! NUMBER 5!!!

Maybe I do understand why people like Star Trek, but I just don’t like that myself?

That sounds like a really low-value way of committing terrorism, while simultaneously coordinating across 3 cities. More likely, all drone shows outsource their collision avoidance software to like 2 companies and one decided that they won’t waste their money on quality control.

It is (almost) always a good time to buy a house because it will (almost) always be good to own a house tomorrow.

Remember the alternative is throwing away approximately the same amount of money every month and never seeing that money again.

You and I must know the same Greg!

I asked myself this question a few years ago, and couldn’t remember a single gift I’ve gotten. Ever since, I’ve been very vocal that I don’t want anything, but if everyone else doing a Secret Santa, I will participate as a reasonable compromise.

NightHawkInLight is some nice DIY home experiments like traditional sparklers and homemade sapphires in a microwave.

I give up on any captcha with mor than 1 image. The problem is you aren’t letting people in, even if you are catching bots. You’ll have to turn it off to let people in.

Hollow Knight, and it may never be dethroned. Although The Finals gets an honorable mention as it would have taken top seat in any other year.

Teslas have no appeal for government vehicles anyways. They’re overpriced, unmaintainable, and unmodifiable. The cybertruck only comes with a permanently covered bed, which is not useful if you want to use it like a truck.

This will hurt government orgs that want to use electric trucks for short distance hauls and the post office. One will cost you more money, and the other will help republicans in the polls.

As a common point of confusion, Tom Cruise was surprised to receive a call from the Navy instead of the Air Force.

For the record, in case anyone cared, I audibly laughed when I read 600 watts.

Because a criminal trial is an all-or-nothing charge, and if you fail to convince 1 juror, Jay-Z gets zero punishment for raping a 13 year old. Your odds of winning a civil trial over rape is much higher, and even if the defendant puts up a good case, you won’t walk away empty handed.
