    Dude, look around. Most of us are way, WAY past the “We’re all in this together! We can do it if we try!” method of living and have been operating in survival mode for the past 5 years. And can you blame them? The flood waters are rising and people are wanting to make sure they have a life raft. If that means working for evil people/companies, then so be it. It’s not like working somewhere else will stop or slow the flood. Morals are nice, but they won’t keep you afloat.




  • I remember when Fall Guys came out, there was often a blatant cheater in the matches just flying around in the air skipping all obstacles. But then something beautiful would happen during team games. Through an entirely unspoken agreement, any team that got matched up with the cheater would self sabotage and intentionally lose so that the cheater would get out.

    Nothing was more heartwarming than seeing the entire team standing around a giant ball, refusing to let it move, while the cheater flailed around in vain trying to knock it away.







  • There are so many reasons to dunk on Elon, but this isn’t one of them. Generic looking humanoid robots isn’t “ripping off” I, Robot. It’s literally the most common depiction of futuristic robots around.

    You wanna dunk on Musk? Talk about how his robots were remote controlled with humans talking through them. Talk about how most of his family has disowned him and refuses to have anything to do with him. Talk about how he has Trump’s dick firmly in his mouth because he might be in hot water over supplying equipment to Russia and might face prosecution if Trump isn’t elected.

    But this just screams of low-hanging Musk-bait, where journalists will write anything negative about him knowing that those who have hate-boners for the guy will eat up whatever crap they shit out, even if it doesn’t make sense. It’s like going “Elon Musk ate cereal for breakfast! What a fucking loser!”





  • Expressing the vague potential to confront a far-right Israeli government isn’t going to lose her any Democratic votes

    No, but it would cost her millions in donations and support from Zionist lobbies. It would also push those same lobbies to more heavily donate and support the GOP. Not to mention the millions that would be at stake from weapons manufacturing lobbies who would see any wavering on Israel support as potential to lose one of their biggest buyer. All that lost money would lead to a loss in votes.

    The world is complicated and a tangled mess.




  • Paradox of Tolerance. A truly 100% tolerant society can not exist as it will quickly fall prey to intolerant groups that they are forced to tolerate. People don’t seem to understand that concept and think if we just be nice the bad guys will go away. It doesn’t work like that. Any school kid can tell you that ignoring or trying to befriend a bully rarely works. The only thing that works is fighting back.
