LOOK AT THESE TWO CUTIES! Everybody's favorite trans magical girl drummer Nova, and everybody's favorite agender enby hacker Hikari! Hikari's showing Nova "videogame stuff" with their 300 hour save on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP. They sure seem a little blushy!

We're living in literally the opposite of a meritocracy: a society that rewards rich parasites, punishes the innovator, denies the working class legitimacy, & pushes everybody to the breaking point to achieve less than nothing. The sole purpose of it is to keep the economic system going...

One way I thought of to sum up the current conservative movement was that they thought they could say it's okay to use slurs again and everyone was going to be on board

You understand the vision
Hikari codes it so whenever you try to hit the "Skip" button on their dialogue, the button moves before your cursor can hit it.

Everyone is posting non-English language bangers and yet I've yet to see anyone post one of the greatest things to ever happen to the internet, so I'm leaving it here. When was the last time you listened to this certified fucking banger?

Every time Elon starts talking about building an army of unstoppable sex robots or a space base in 5 years, it's because he's in a state of blind panic and squirting bullshit the way a squid does ink.

The actual story, if journalists didn't suck, would be: what is he panicking about this time.

Congrats to overthinkers and perfectionists but I mostly use drafts to do posts where I need to remember some factual aspect of what I’m trying to get at and then I’ll come back to it two months later and read “Scooby Doo sandwich is the hatm” and think what the fuck was I smoking
v1.116 is rolling out now!

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

So many. My wife and I use "Oh, it's true!" from "The Dead Talk Back" and "We don't brook back-sass from our fillies" from "Time Chasers" constantly, for just a couple of examples.
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

racists yelling about not understanding song lyrics in another language, meanwhile you can make me debilitatingly emotional by playing a song called "Happy Party Train" wherein I literally understand only two words
