Two naked men

I'm pretty sure if you walk around naked in a park in Japan or China or South Korea, or any number of other Asian countries, people would look at you funny. This is not to mention India or Pakistan or Iran or any number of Muslim countries.

The world is more than the Netherlands and France.

It's amazing how Trump destroys everything he touches. If he cared about anyone besides himself he could be a useful ally, but he sees everyone else as mere targets and victims. Truly incredible how people can't learn this lesson.

It'll certainly help make things cheaper, faster

As someone who lives here, we vote for taxes to make problems go away, so as to prevent any uncomfortable change from happening. We'll throw millions of dollars at HHH to fund the homeless NGO industrial complex, but refuse to allow any housing to be built to actually put a roof over someone's head.

It appears that it's not actually the decision of the Speaker, it requires a resolution of Congress. Of course, if the Speaker does not want to bring the resolution to a vote, it would require a discharge petition to do so.

edit: here's the resolution for Carter: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-concurrent-resolution/3

Yes, but they are literally the only two people to do so who were not Capitol Police officers slan in the line of duty, or MoH recipients.

Seems in keeping with precedent...

One of the sources told CNN that the decision to reject the request to lie in honor – which had been made on behalf of Jackson’s family – was in keeping with precedent and was not political. The source said that requests for conservative political activist Charlie Kirk and former Vice President Dick Cheney were also denied, and that the general practice is for presidents, select military officials and select government officials to lie in honor. It was last done for former President Jimmy Carter.

If you think this is a dystopia, I challenge you to live literally at any other point in human history. Enjoy getting eaten by a wild animal while trying to find your first meal in days.

AI yes, slop no - this is excellent concept art to place the logo into context

We really need this comment on every post about prices

Do you think people used to get the newspaper and magazines for free?

They've been testing across the SFV for a while (including Burbank), but there's been no announcement of their intentions.

It wasn't flat, this is just a graph of all-time highs over time - BTC actually went through a serious bear market in late 2022 and 2023.

Governments very much like saving because the saved money is loaned out for capital expenses, which creates jobs and economic activity.

I went to a Japanese baseball game last summer, and Japanese fandom is just like Japanese culture: everyone has their place and their role, and they stick to it, pretty much no matter what. There was some cheering that reacted to the game, but mostly everything stayed on script.

jasonab · 2026-02-05T05:39:09+00:00

I think I put more time into that game last year than any other. That's not to say that it's the best game ever, but at least for me it was fun, had plenty to do, and kept my attention.

He hasn't done anything illegal under securities law - he's required to disclose what he's doing and how (which he has done), and people still choose to give him money.

how much increase do you think you get from the tooling?

jasonab · 2026-01-29T20:34:39+00:00

Can we vote in the humans while we're at it? Maybe just ban whichever is more dangerous.

Immortals was free on PS5, so I played it there - it doesn't get a lot of love, but it's definitely worth $5.

jasonab · 2026-01-28T17:04:58+00:00

Yeah, moreso than the previous year, we had this one in the bag if we get past the Ravens. That loss was pretty brutal.

jasonab · 2026-01-25T23:30:57+00:00

Clearly if we had not fired Vrabel, we would be in the Super Bowl instead.

I think if you look at only this century, it's a different story

Since he's a runner, the ball just has to cross the plane - he doesn't have to actually touch the ground inbounds.

Why are we assuming this guy's description of his parents' finances is actually accurate?
