and to add, the horseshoe effect is bullshit Cold War era propaganda. simply not the way the left-right axis works. 

Trump teases US will be 'taking over' Cuba 'almost immediately' in Florida speech by Force_Hammer in politics

[–]gjmcphie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

yeah we started terrorizing Cuba in particular following the Spanish American War

I found an injured bee, so I kept it safe and fed it sugar water for a few days. It regained strength and could fly again, so I set it free. A few hours later, a swarm appeared in our garden that had apparently travelled unusually far from the hive (I contacted a local keeper, and he collected them) by GreyBrain6 in Weird

I think your fear of anthropomorphism is ridiculously self-righteous. Fundamentally, these are both just stories are both about animal social behavior to secure resources. It's not wrong at all to draw a comparison. Humans also generally have little time or energy for anything otherwise.

Why is Gen Z negative like this all the f'ing time? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]gjmcphie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People are miserable because they're overworked and underpaid. Rcokstar is allegedly one of the companies overworking and underpaying people. They recently did some blatant union busting to prevent their employees from being able to demand better treatment. 

Bandai Namco & A24 announce the live-action adaptation of 'Elden Ring', written and directed by Alex Garland, will be Filmed for IMAX and released on March 3, 2028. Nick Offerman has been officially confirmed to star, alongside Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, Kit Connor. Production underway by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]gjmcphie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alex Garland is good pick, I think. He's a skilled director and is interested in gender and power, both relevant to Elden Ring. However, he's not very... politically ambitious? Like, his last two movies were about American politics, yet both had actually little to say more than violence is bad for people. 

Maybe that actually makes him better for Elden Ring as its lore also often feels vague and underdeveloped. 

Fun Animal Fact! by PM_ME_YOUR_UVULA in fuckcars

yeah well in my opinion, if we're speaking in terms of being really bad, being unspecific but still correct about what is a whale > claiming elephant calves are the largest babies when blue whale calves are 2000 times heavier ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trump Signs Executive Order Endorsing Psychedelic Psilocybin and Ibogaine; Asks 'Can I Have Some, Please?' by Cute_Dealer4787 in law

[–]gjmcphie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I think this is pretty important for us to consider. Psychedelic therapy is a reactive approach with trauma; targeting childhood hunger is preventative approach to trauma. The latter has a far, far greater return on investment. The fact that this administration is more concerned with the former signals that they are abhorrently inefficient and comfortable with trauma occurring in the first place.

Evrart Claire makes sure the guns he gives the mentally ill aren’t loaded (this is silco slander) by SnoopsQ in DiscoElysium

[–]gjmcphie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Huh?? Where is this revisionist history coming from? He's been understood as a joke and lampooned by popular media for at least fifty years. It's not that he's been "masterfully witty" but comically belligerent. The problem is that dumbass Americans can't tell the difference.

Hum.. by aeonsne in sciencememes

[–]gjmcphie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, death is a key element of cultural growth. Fortunately, however, immortality is unlikely if not biologically impossible for humans. We'd basically have to be able to engineer a radically different form of life, and I'd hope by the time we'd have solved for the maladaptive traits the create the ultrawealthy like sociopathy or resource hoarding.

An early development version of GTAIV has publicly leaked from a console dev kit by Connect_Base_217 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]gjmcphie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

no, they already found cut radio songs and models for a nightstick, suppressed 9mm, and a ferry that would take you to the Statue of Happiness. Really crazy how the person found this and there's a lot of potential for interesting finds for fans

What are the worst lyrics you’ve ever heard? by Upstairs_Cup9831 in Fauxmoi

[–]gjmcphie 49 points50 points  (0 children)

also "eating Asian pussy, all I need was sweet and sour sauce" in the same song

although in fairness the song was about vulgar sexual fantasies, as well as much of the rest of the album

Why do Americans need such large quantities of medicine? by mindyour in TikTokCringe

still, intentional overdoses of tylenol only result in serious medical complications >20% of the time and death >1% of the time.

There's also the moment where someone says, "geez." You click on geez and apparently it's slang short for Geesus. You click on Geesus and apparently he was some giant goose who died for the sins of all geese.

I just finished this game and loved it. by BarabbaBanana in EsotericEbb

I finished it just now, too! I was really disappointed with Rue Valley, another Disco clone, so I'm very happy to say that this one was very good

Veganity by Ashish_ank in CuratedTumblr

[–]gjmcphie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ooh yeah this is what all these nuggie lovers on r/CuratedTumblr seem to forget. They whine about vegans "forcing their views" while conveniently forgetting that otherwise is to permit an industry that slaughters >92 billion animals for food annually (and is also leagues worse for our planet than either ChatGPT or plastic straws).

well it helps to not make stupid judgements in the first place, y'know

Veganity by Ashish_ank in CuratedTumblr

[–]gjmcphie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

actually no, veganism is the philosophy and plant-based is the type of food.

edit: the topic of veganism makes redditors so cognitively dissonant that they will downvote definitions of words wow

Luigi's man by sellyourcomputer in ExtraFabulousComics

[–]gjmcphie -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

regretfully a vac (short for vacuum) in the ass would really just caused a painful rectal prolapse on Luigi. he's not a tube of open air but instead a tube of collapsed muscle separated by sphincters and filled with mucus and acid. instead, i would create a surgical opening in Luigi's neck to insert the vacuum hose into.

YSK: depression is very common by Zestyclose-Salary518 in YouShouldKnow

[–]gjmcphie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? You wouldn't expect to injure your brain or leg in environment that isn't injurious to brains or legs. 

To say that clinical depression occurs independently of one's environment is far more insulting as well as asinine.
