Also the car-seller is constantly lying to you to make certain you are as likely to die as possible after they get all the money they can out of you, while delivering a toy steering wheel duct-taped to a board with tires drawn on it.
Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

This is a very good comment in this screenshot
Something I would add onto it is
So much of the sex-negative feminists you see online that fell for a right-wing psyop a decade ago
Do not realize how many of the stuff they complain about in anime... was made by women as self-expression

2021's Mad God would have been a really cool artbook, but as a movie it was about 5-10 minutes of interested fascination and curiosity followed by ~70 minutes of complete boredom with the whole thing.

Just finished. Good book. Thank you for reinforcing my discomfort at ever being between two mirrors facing each other. (My mother has two set up like that in her bathroom so she can see to cut her own hair and I studiously try to not look at the infinitely regressing reflections when there.)
Picked up @tkingfisher.com 's "Hemlock & Silver" from the library and just 50 pages in it's thoroughly won my heart. Swapping effortlessly between wry humor and thoughtful melancholy.

Survival mode in Skyrim is starting to lose its novelty. The survival needs are now entirely solved or extremely manageable. No fast travel is just boring with how big the world is and only the major town carriages to make up for any of it. Halved carry weight is just bad with how heavy stuff gets.

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college:
“What did Watson and Crick discover?”
“Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

“A writer at the Times contacted me to talk. He said he was less interested in Mamdani himself than he was in the Africana Studies part…” On why maybe you shouldn’t talk to the New York Times about Zohran Mamdani.
