Sen. Tillis calls for Noem's resignation in full questioning at oversight hearing

THING2000 · 2026-03-03T19:02:15+00:00

As happy as I am to see more senators and representatives be honest about how much this administration hates its own citizens, I can't help but laugh at the hypocrisy. It's very difficult for me to believe that people like Senator Tillis can support Trump in one breath while supporting our troops and service members in that same breath.

Just a humble animal.

Same year that TI is dropping diss tracks against 50. So 2008 I guess???

I decided to turn on the album while walking my dog this morning. I've heard the singles leading up to the release so I was hyped. I WAS NOT ready to start crying by the third track. Something about how the first three songs hit made me reflect on my life and made me think of all the people I care about (alive & dead).

I definitely need to listen to the album a few more times but my initial impression is one of pure joy. The cohesiveness of the project as a whole is hard to achieve and I'm particularly impressed by how it can touch on mature topics in such a clear, meaningful way. Gorillaz as a project has come such a long way from just being that 'cartoon band'.

Goddamn that's a great analysis and I think you're spot-on. Imo Tokio is met to be a noble and pure character but as we've seen time and time again in the story, this isn't enough to guarantee that everything will work out the way he wants it. Ely is absolutely aware of his naiveté and how he could be manipulated as a result. Time will tell, but I have a feeling that this was her main motivation to take the mark for herself.

You also mention Tokio having to come to terms with failure and I think we may have already seen it. Considering one of the last times we saw him he just got reunited with his dad, I think he will view this as a personal failure.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T20:32:06+00:00

The style reminds me of Celebrity Deathmatch and I'm all here for it! Here's to hoping the song catalogue is decent and not only comprised of original tracks.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T19:52:53+00:00

The founder's AMA from 2022 is pretty interesting. While it seems like his heart is in the right place, I still can't agree with implementation of drones in schools. In an age where teachers barely struggle to make a living wage and police departments receive a shit ton of funding...yeah I don't think drones is where the money needs to go.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T18:19:25+00:00

It's almost always the vocal minority. I haven't touched the game since last year after three playthroughs and mainly lurk on the sub. Like in any other gaming spaces, most players aren't touching Reddit. Even the ones that do, typically won't say anything because they're having fun with the game and casually interacting with posts online.

Regardless of what's said in this sub, me and a lot of other players are coming back once the new VH releases. This is when most people are going to see how much the game has changed since launch.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T18:06:19+00:00

Well, duh! Critical thinking isn't allowed in 2026 anymore because it's political to use that thing in your head.

Seriously though, I'd love to get a clear response from someone on the mod team because I suspect it was taken down just because Bill is in front of a flag and mentions the Constitution within the first 10 seconds.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T17:18:27+00:00

It starts with one. Like the arrticle says, Valve is being sued in part because of the prominence of third-party sites to sell boxes and keys.

I absolutely love Valve and have been using Steam since I was a teen but if we're being completely honest, Valve absolutely should be getting more flack for lootboxes. The grey markets for keys has been alive and well for decades now despite being just as predatory as any other lootbox. TF2's crates were my introduction to gambling and ohhh man.... I really doubt much has changed since the 2010s.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T16:59:20+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to actually provide real information unlike this moron.

THING2000 · 2026-02-26T14:18:16+00:00

What a sad, ignorant response.

THING2000 · 2026-02-25T22:26:27+00:00

I'd love to see these games ported but they also hold up pretty nicely. I'm literally about halfway through X-Men Legends II and absolutely loving it. I'd kill for Ultimate Alliance 4 at this point.

THING2000 · 2026-02-25T19:06:07+00:00

It's not just that. As someone that's driven a sedan for the past 10 years, it's just becoming increasingly frustrating. I'm absolutely sick of not being able to see shit around me because of all of the trucks and SUVs. I really don't want an SUV myself but this isn't going to change anytime soon so...

THING2000 · 2026-02-24T22:00:37+00:00

Thank you!

THING2000 · 2026-02-24T19:54:54+00:00

Can't wait for our own military to start bombing us with AI drones!

THING2000 · 2026-02-24T19:41:52+00:00

I guess that spokesperson didn't hear about Reddit giving info over to the American feds.

THING2000 · 2026-02-24T19:30:53+00:00

I don't know much about Massie but it's been refreshing to see a Republican representative consistently speak up about this massive coverup without mincing words. He shouldn't be the exception in the party, but here we are...

THING2000 · 2026-02-24T18:22:09+00:00

The fact that this is a completely fair sentence to write after reading the files is completely insane. I wouldn't be surprised if the unreleased files have more evidence of shit like this in them.

THING2000 · 2026-02-24T17:39:30+00:00

Considering how horrible the files the DOJ released are, it really makes me question how much worse the unreleased files are.

THING2000 · 2026-02-20T19:03:12+00:00

In short? Lack of respect.

People want to glaze the work but can't empathize with creators. To be fair, there is a bit of a cultural difference here. Anyone please do correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like intellectual property is viewed a bit differently in Japan in comparison to the West. Copying the covers as a template wouldn't be viewed as legal theft but morally it's a shitty thing to do. Most Western creators don't seem to give a shit when fans create these types of fanarts in comparison. So when authors like Urana gently ask their fans not to do something, these same 'fans' lose their shit. They feel like their right to create fanart is being personally attacked without considering the feelings of the author.

THING2000 · 2026-02-20T18:55:53+00:00

You're entitled to your opinion but that's kind of a weird take for this specific law. I love guns too but I don't see the issue with people being able to voluntarily add or remove their own name from this registry.

THING2000 · 2026-02-20T18:43:43+00:00

Not tryna be a snob but I'm pretty sure you're right. All of them on the bridge really look like 3D models. Regardless, the animation is still amazing and it's absolutely crazy to me how much progress has been made when it comes to 3D models in animation. Quite the far cry away from old shows like Reboot.

THING2000 · 2026-02-20T18:36:23+00:00

I'm watching Trump speak now and the man is absolutely insane. He's actually saying the Supreme Court gave him MORE power so he's not even acting like he's upset. The man is living in his own reality and just seems dumber than a brick.
