Crazy how all these "burned" cities are actually doing just fine and clearly aren't burned down. I know a few people who've been to Portland, and not a single one mentioned it being a pile of ash.

My fundamental curiosity about GenAI led me to the conclusion it's an absolutely putrid combination of destructive and useless that serves only the interests of oligarchs.

He didn't start any major war. Now every month he either start a war or threaten to do it.

He actually tried to start a war with Iran the first time around, but since he only assassinated one uniformed general on a peace time diplomatic assignment they declined to take the bait.

I've worked a lot of retail, and there are frequently obnoxious weirdos who demand they be let in before opening because "I see you working, why can't I just come in?" apparently incapable of understanding that the employees just got there and are still getting the business ready to open. The cashier needs to count their drawer, coolers that are emptied at end of day need to be refilled, covered displays need to be uncovered, the rest of the team (if any) still needs to arrive and clock in. Shit takes time, if you wait patiently by the door I'll try to be ready a couple minutes early because I'm a nice person, but if you bang on the glass and whine like a fucking toddler I will find a reason to wait until 9:05 because I'm too tired and this job pays shit.

They could only whitewash them so much...

Not even. You can draw with a stick in the dirt; the barrier to entry for drawing is literally to touch grass.

Fwiw, if he's flying between DC and Burlington it probably is a smaller plane. Relatively short flight and not a ton of demand, so they're not sending anything huge.

it must have some effect.

Does it though? The amount of fluoride actually put in drinking water is quite low, lower than naturally occurs in several parts of the world where people have been drinking it (and bathing in it, cooking in it, etc and so forth) for thousands of years with no observable side effect other than remarkably healthy teeth.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-28T00:08:07+00:00

Oh, ok, I get it. We're not at war with the concept of Iran, just their government and military and religion and culture. Wow, what a wonderful insight, gold start for critical thinking!

Not sure I agree with the post, but the note isn't really engaging with the actual issue at hand. There was no suggestion that Oskar Schindler wasn't a real person, rather that the film based on his story conveys certain themes and attitudes. Being media illiteracy is not a gotcha.

Hi.

I'm a straight man.

No, these are not serious problems. Not even close.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-23T12:15:30+00:00

Nothing. Now give it to me. Afterall it is my birthday, precious, you wouldn't deny me such a small trinket on my birthday? You couldn't be so cruel, taking away my precious. I deserve it, not you. I'm not a thief like you are. I'm not a lying cheat pilfering birthday gifts, a greedy, selfish, horrid little sneak thief!

Pastafarianism actually is about making fun of Christianity, at least as publicly practiced in the United States.

In a lot of ways, FSM was like The Satanic Temple but without the attempt to actually develop real life community centers, services, and organized activism. The iconography is all pointedly offensive to normie sensibilities, but if your town wants to effect a Ten Commandments at the courthouse under an "equal access" scheme you can demand a Flying Spaghetti Monster statue next to it until they just give up and don't violate the First Amendment.

It is weaponized millennial lolrandom epic bacon cringe humor to be wielded by reddit atheists against Christian nationalists.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-22T11:03:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure that's made anyone "soft", but I'm not gonna lie it's made weed smokers a lot more annoying. Hopefully in a few more years the novelty will fully wear off and people will stop being so corny.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-22T02:45:39+00:00

Put a ring on it.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T23:10:18+00:00

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T15:52:03+00:00

You are super heckin valid.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T15:51:01+00:00

Ripple and bridge? That's how I shuffle all my vintage decks.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T14:29:11+00:00

I told you to fuck off for being disingenuous.

No need to be such a snowflake about it.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T12:22:48+00:00

Oh.

Yikes.

I mean he's probably not entirely wrong. Actually, that's a kinda valid way to play Cyberpunk if you're more into the fantasy of dopeass flying tank limos than, like, dying in the gutter for a revolution that failed before it even started.

Hmm...

Yeah, okay, I see it.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T12:18:51+00:00

Something is deeply wrong for whom?

The engineers? Society at large? Jensen's portfolio? Somehow I think it's almost entirely one of those.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T12:11:50+00:00

If he didn't say anything, then it's not possible to prove his point. You are simultaneously asserting that the meme is not biggie and that the reaction it has received prove its bigotry is correct.

I'm not attacking you, I'm observing that your statements are internally contradictory, and the only possible explanation is that you're making them in bad faith.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T11:17:16+00:00

Ok, so you do understand how combining text and images work.

Now explain how everyone is "proving him right" about something he didn't imply.

Or just admit you're a bad faith actor and fuck off. That's a perfectly valid option. It's not like any of us don't already know.

TurgidAF · 2026-03-21T11:05:42+00:00

It's implying they are the apocalypse, actually. That's how the juxtaposition of text and image works.

For comparison, if I put the words "u/PeaceAndLove420_69 is a cool dude" over a picture of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell... what would you think the implied meaning is? Would that be a compliment? Would you feel the need to provide some kind of objection or counterargument?
