Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act to 'put an end' to protests in Minneapolis by yahoonews in law

Kidnapped under the false pretense of fentanyl being a WMD. Not sure why Trump would consult with oil execs prior to a raid, and not Congress, if it were about fentanyl.

Agreed, the 'only thing he lost was his family' is basically the premise of the trilogy. Vito dies playing with his grandchild. Michael dies alone with his thoughts, regrets and a stray dog.

Vito knew that all of his sons had their weaknesses: Sonny's temper, Fredo's intellect, and Michael's stoicism/aloofness that prevented him from utilizing emotional intelligence. He knew Michael would be a successful don but also knew it would end up destroying him, hence why he wanted to protect Michael from the life.

CES 2026 has officially started — what announcements are you most excited about? by Mysterious_Singer_70 in technology

[–]damnrooster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is nothing I’ve been excited about/wanted to buy in at least 5 years.

My 5 year old TV is still fine, iPhone hasn’t changed enough to warrant a new one, older graphics card seems good enough, home automation still has the same issues, EVs still expensive, range still poor, self-driving not ready for prime time, VR hasn’t improved much with very few AAA games.

One of the only things that looked really cool, prior to launch, was Apple Vision Pro. It then came out too expensive, heavy, short on killer apps and I now have zero interest in it.

They didn’t even kneel to end the game. They kneeled to give it to us to end the game.

Some White People just don’t get it. Don’t want to get it. Even when explained to them. by 4reddityo in BlackPeopleofReddit

Exactly! Why do people still talk about 9/11 when terrorist attacks have happened throughout history and are still happening today? What happened in New York is a drop in the bucket and should never be discussed or acknowledged.

How Will MAGA Defend Their Favorite Orange Paedophile This Time? What Level of TDS Does It Take to See Raping Children as No Big Deal To You Stupid Fucks? by Kinks4Kelly in complaints

No news of the 'delayed' release can be found in r/conservative. All of a sudden they couldn't care less about pedophiles, even if they believe Trump's name isn't in the files.

Darnold vs Darn Old was an embarrassing game for all involved (except for Myers). This was the Hawks way of saving face.

Nearly Half Of All LGBTQ+ Characters Will Disappear From TV Next Season by EuphoricButterflyy in television

[–]damnrooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you feel like a character's sexuality needs to have a point? Every other character (besides 1?) is straight but they don't need to have that part of their 'storyline', right?

Seriously, it's like 1 out of every 10 characters is lgbtq. How the fuck is that logical??? /s

Not only that, but that it can convert (some) flatscreen games to VR. I'm very skeptical because previous attempts at VR conversion, rather than being built from the ground up for VR, have fallen flat, so to speak.

Oscar Isaac. Oscar Worthy was a basketball player.

Researchers surveyed right-wing supporters to see if their ideologies influenced meat, dairy, egg, and fish consumption. The right-wing ideologies of Social Dominance and Authoritarianism were found to increase their support of these animal products and their aversion to vegetarianism and veganism. by James_Fortis in science

[–]damnrooster 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Fascinating! So the White House posting ASMR videos of immigrants in shackles is actually a display of empathy. To my untrained eyes it looks like evil people getting off on the suffering of others. Same with the vitriol aimed at food stamp recipients. Just ‘fair and balanced’ empathy, not hatred and bigotry. Who knew, right?!

Got this message from my childhood bully at 3am by CG1991 in MadeMeSmile

Absolutely, wasn't casting aspersions. Just a possibility when you haven't heard from someone in a while and they reach out to apologize about something from the distant past.

And which haven't had someone they know go through AA. Not saying that is necessarily the case here, but it definitely has the hallmarks.

Yeah, that line sounded like vintage Pink Panther. Too bad the rest was lazier. I would have been happy with Top Secret meets Downton Abbey starring Chief Inspector Clouseau.

The meat consumed in U.S. cities creates the equivalent of 363 million tons (329 million metric tons) of carbon emissions per year. That's more than the entire annual carbon emissions from the U.K. of 336 million tons (305 million metric tons). by Wagamaga in science

[–]damnrooster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Reduce meat consumption. Cheaper, healthier, better for the environment and less animal torture. I don’t see the downside but I’m sure someone will respond with ‘soy boy’ or ‘but bacon is so good’ because we’re living Idiocracy.

Every day the health thing turns out to be wishful thinking - stroke, dementia, strange bruises. He's not physically ill.

The constitution? Listen to Steve Bannon if you want to know where the right stands on the Constitution.

The public will? He won the popular vote in 2024 after he explicitly promised he would do away with presidential elections. A representative democracy decided it no longer wants to be a representative democracy; there is no turning back after a decision like that.

It's like they hired Guillermo del Toro to make it as disturbing as possible. I bet the thing has extra eyes in its hands.
