im so glad people are hating this book, i dnf'd the first one a year ago and was immediately like "this shit is ass how is anyone reading this" and then a bunch of my friends got into it and i felt like i was going insane

Feeling like a genius for looking up Dungeon Crawler Carl images so I can learn I will hate hate hate every moment of this and not waste any money checking it out lol oh so it's just Ready Player One but if Ernest Cline listened to less dadrock and played Portal and Borderlands gotcha

and im not even like book shaming, i read some truly lowbrow shit because i mostly only read junkfood novels before going to bed, and this was a bar too low for me.

Nice moral compass asshole now tell me how morally upstanding insurance CEOs are

The winner of the World Cup third place playoff should play the loser of the World Cup final to decide which team really deserved to be in second place. Then the winner of that match should play the winner of the final.

challenging to phrase this exactly right because it'd be in bad taste to use this as a gotcha against all his supporters, but the journalists who very explicitly framed Platner as a rejection of stuff like "HR Lady Politics" or (ugh) "smoothgroins" should take a long, hard, look in the mirror today

Sorry Dustloop was slow the past few days. We were getting absolutely roflstomped by Claude AI (30,000+ requests per hour). I just spent the past couple hours doing some heavy tweaking on the server side to try to get our performance back to normal. Please ping @szego.ca if you need to report issu

The amount of times I get my cats claw unstuck from a blanket or a curtain and she gets mad at me for it makes me think that fable about the lion with a thorn stuck in its paw was a little off-base

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

Ferguson: "Just this weekend, I was shopping at a big home improvement store to buy a drill. I had to hit a call button and wait 15 minutes for an associate to unlock a padlock. Social trust has evaporated and people are taking advantage of it, and the same is true of our federal benefit programs."

Not gonna tag the person but “stop complaining about personal computing dying and install Linux on an old Dell Optiplex” is not a solution to computers getting expensive and I’m the person most likely to do that for fun.

NEW: Chicago Progressive Partnership super PAC, which launched ads attacking Kat Abughazaleh and then eventually in favor of Bushra Amiwala as an apparent attempt to split the vote, has filed its FEC report, which reveals it was another shell group for AIPAC and its allies

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Sorry if you see this and dont think its rad you're beyond help!

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

A lot of push alerts not heeding Bump’s wisdom at this hour

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.
