Not having this shit normalized and everywhere was one of the few ways the USA was *less* dystopian than most of Europe but it seems we're working very hard to catch up.
i can’t talk about sports gambling anymore without sounding like a crank but i do believe legalized sports gambling is like 15-20% responsible for our current dystopia
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

“I voted for none of this."
Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.

For anyone who needs respite from the news, I highly recommend Taskmaster, an extremely silly long-running UK show in which five comedians compete at absurd tasks. Low-stress, high-pleasure, lots of laughs, utterly disconnected from reality. As your doctor, I hereby prescribe one episode minimum.

Robert E. Lee is probably the obvious choice here, followed probably by Erwin Rommel. The kicker ancient choice is probably Leonidas.
Something tells me a full list would be disproportionately loaded with slavers and fascists, go figure.

The prosumer digital animation world owes the existence of several critical devices and advances due to the high demand for sexually explicit renderings of Elizabeth from BioShock Infinite.

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Subsistence farming is a miserable and all too frequently short existence and anyone who thinks humans were better off when everyone was growing their own food is a fucking idiot.
if you’ve ever wondered why “escaping small scale subsistence farming” has been humanity’s primary group project for the majority of our known existence, it’s because small scale subsistence farming sucks real bad

Republican Senator Thom Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people and two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid. Trump's advisers in the White House are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

An interstate has been closed. A drone has been deployed. Professional tracking groups and trained dogs have been dispatched.
