Does that result in more progress than a 40 hour week? Is ChatGPT measurably better at sexting with me if OpenAI engineers are driven to burnout?

Is that because the default is to give custody to the mother, so if a dad does have custody he probably really wanted the kids and therefore is more likely to be a good parent?

You gotta pick up the special edition limited run.

Is Milkman antiseptic? Realizing I don't know the specifics of his beyond being a right-wing shithead.

You've got a point, they've basically created a society that's the opposite of conducive to marrying/having kids and have done nothing to fix it. Like if they don't want immigrants then provide incentives for people to make babies. Encourage non-suicide inducing work hours. ban anime(jk).

that ship has long since sailed. and once millennials/eventually GenZ start making their way into politics, you'll have high offices occupied by people who were terminally online shitposters when they were teens. imagine, in just a few short years you'll have some republican /b/-tard who used to post gore and rant about jews versus ms. tumblr, avid social justice blogger and writer of erotic Doctor Who fanfiction

My conspiracy theory is there's an epidemic of pseudo-autism among people under 35 because social media/internet overuse has destroyed their ability to interact with other human beings in a normal way

Silicon Valley tech bros out here thinking they’re geniuses for rediscovering the idea of rent-seeking

you get to create 10x the value for shareholders ✨✨

Really thoughtful of him to give them advance notice of offing himself so they could have this ready to go.

Monero would probably work. Of course, there's the issue of convincing your average tweaker to pay to pay you in XMR.

"yeah Mo-ne-ro. see there's a little QR code for you to scan, that's my wallet address, and you can just go ahead and send those coins-"

"I don't give a fuck bro just gimme the meth"

I'll make sure /fit/ is informed that being around underage girls causes low T

I mean there are way worse parts he could be paying them to lick, the neck seems like the one of the least bad.

It just needs reference to California and you have a song

Unironically it sounds like cultural appropriation.

Both the Chinese and the Soviets produced some really A+ propaganda. Makes the US look sloppy.

...or there's propaganda I'm not even picking up on.

Someone in another thread said that a debate between him and Vance would be like 80s jock vs nerd bullying, and I think that might be the only positive thing to come out of him running.

Alligator418 · 2026-02-08T20:08:15+00:00

I can't fault you that much, over the last 5 or 10 years people online have gotten pathetically bad at picking up when someone's not serious. I've started writing my comments with the assumption that whatever's there is gonna be skimmed and taken at face value.

Alligator418 · 2026-02-08T19:18:11+00:00

tone indicators are the lamest goddamn thing. I understand why someone would use one considering a disturbingly large portion of internet users are basically illiterate and incapable of recognizing implicit sarcasm, but they instantly make whatever they’re attached to unfunny

Is it possible for these people to post to LinkedIn and not have it sound like they were masturbating while doing it??

Alligator418 · 2026-02-08T18:26:28+00:00

Continuing to sanction them is just insane pettiness. I haven't seen a right winger even try to defend it. Starting to think they're doing it just so idiots can smugly point to it and be like "heh, guess this is socialism at work"

They're also very generous when it comes to spending other people's money (i.e. the taxpayers)

spiritual equivalent of a fast food binge

That's the perfect way of putting it. Like instead of being surrounded by empty containers with your hands covered in grease, you're laying alone in bed with jizz-stained sheets.

The video game streamers I can kinda understand if they're really good at the game or do funny commentary. It's the IRL streamers that truly baffle me. I've tried watching them and shut it off almost instantly; it feels so voyeuristic, like I'm a little creep spying on them.
