I realize you and your upvotes might be in the small majority but if that’s genuinely the way ya’ll feel you’re either way too damn sensitive or your reading comprehension of English just sucks. I can easily look at that and tell “fun” has nothing to do with the murdery bit here. What a fucking nothingburger to bitch about.

I’m sure McDs and Coke could push out terrible AI ads for the next decade and it wouldn’t dampen their sales long term. An initial slump until everyone got over it, maybe. They’re global brands that have gotten too damn big to fail.

Part of me wants to believe Diddlin Don wants to push this through ASAP so he can claim he did something “worthwhile” before he gets slammed with Epstein file controversy, but the cynic in me believes those files have already been fucked with and altered beyond actual use.

I’d like for Ukraine to reject this deal but we’ll see what Zelensky does, I guess.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the snacks. I like this shift away from artificial ingredients. But my fucking god, I hate the marketing trend of pretending like a goddamm snack food is some sorta fucking vibe/mood/lifestyle/movement. I wish nothing but the worst on the people who think this shit up.

And yet, for being so painfully unreliable, especially with the ruling parties flip-flopping back and forth so much, USA aid is still sought after. 🙄

I imagine as Zelensky has said so many times before, Ukraine won’t cede shit. Hopefully, he tells them both to go kick rocks.

it could get much worse.

It will get much worse. 3 more years to go, at a minimum.

News Is Trash Now | Journalists lose all integrity as they go all-in on generating click-bait nothing burgers to drive up ad revenue

To quote an ex-friend who was also Christian, “A church isn’t a club of saints, its a hospital of sinners.”

Well, you see, their lungs stopped moving, for reasons, and we figured that’s what really did them in, you know?

It’s almost like I’m not referring directly to the article or something! 🙄 My response is referring to the left-wing posting around the news that tries to slam the reps who caved.

Love how the left is doing its usual run of hating how its side has caved, while missing the irony that the left caves every day by tolerating their right-wing neighbors for the scum they are. Like, newsflash, never mind the caving of a handful of democrats. There’s nearly half a Senate and House full of the enemy, put their by your enemy neighbors, and their reps are the real reason we’re in this mess, and the left is going to sit by and tolerate those voters rather than making their lives hell. Because the left is the “good guy,” and lose everything because the left won’t get their hands dirty. And the Right? They get their hands dirty, they suck, but they get their hands dirty, and that’s why they’re in power. Wake the fuck up. Now is not the time to be tolerant, peaceful, or moral. Fuck the idea of “Dems gotta be perfect while the Right gets to be assholes.” Treat the right as scum to be removed just as they remove citizens with ICE. That is the proper way to view them.

Not some do nothing, pat yourselves on the back ass peaceful protest. Brian Thompson deserved his death. Charkie Kirk deserved his death. Aaron Danielson deserved his death.

Setting aside whatever morals about this, it seems rather unwise to just up and publicly declare. Like, “Ayo, yo, cartels! We’ll be coming to get you! Eventually! But definitely! So you better be ready for us!”

Can it, dude, I’m not on that side of the political aisle. I’m not in Australia and the knowledge it had to do with that was not known to me nor posted here at that time. But you bet the right would still call it woke, there’s a reason they’re hiding the epstein files. This isn’t some gotcha, you’re just a wanna-be hater.

Well as far as I’m concerned we’re going to wait and see what happens because I’m not part of any committee that has a say in the matter, I’m not about to put in the work to form one to do so, and in all likeliehood neither are you. But hey, if you are, by all means, salt the ice on the slope. I buy resin minis and paint them, and I wouldn’t exactly appreciate more hurdles in doing that.

It’s being over the top in the way it’s saying “sexualizing childeren = bad,” but at the same time, yes, it is bad. So, eh. It does give the article a sort of strongly PC coded vibe. I’m sure it was written by a leftist the right would call woke. Take what you will from it, despite the language used, the article is still sound.

I got where you’re going with that, but presently, 3D printers were, to my knowledge, in the business of printing hard objects. So I double checked and looked it up. Turns out silicon printing does exist, but it’s currently pretty small-scale stuff. Gaskets and the like. But in the process I bumped into a different idea. 3D print the molds used to shape the silicon, then just fill them.

So yeah, you’re probably right.

Oh boy, I am already clinically depressed, what’s there to lose?! Jokes aside, reading through the article and how these companies get away with selling the product piece meal or relabeling it reminds me of how gas stations used to sell crack pipes.

No matter the era and no matter the addiction, someone is trying to make a legal buck off it if they can.

And yet, risking getting shot may be exactly what winds up happening, or rather, may be what needs to happen even if no one wants to do it. But it also can’t just be one person, can’t make change with just one Luigi. Whole neighborhoods and communities have to organize, and it’s simply not happening on a mass scale.

Then again, even if that happens, the public still needs the military on their side. Because if it gets to the point Trump thinks he can call down missiles on American cities, the military needs to tell him to fuck off. Citizens won’t be able to defend against that or drones.

The idea is great on paper, but execution is everything.
