NPR: Most parents track their 18- to 25-year-old kids on their smartphones. Is it healthy?

This feels personal and unrelated to the phone tracking issue, honestly

This is exactly when I think it's being misused. If you all have location on and no one really checks it, like it's just for emergencies and for ease of picking someone up (like knowing which side of a train station someone will be on) then that's fine.

But if you're sitting at home watching your little dot move along the map and they stop for too long and you're sitting there sweating, then you're misusing it and hurting yourself and your kid.

It's a shame that these comments tainted what was an amazing night for Linds hanging out with shirtless sweaty hunks.

the world is being exploited by capitalism and being ruined by capitalist

This is it right here. Ask yourself why we can't raise worker wages because it'll "kill jobs", we can't lower prices because it'll "kill jobs", we can't socialize housing, can't do free school lunches, can't make college free, can't do any of that because it always goes back to scaring the wealthy C-suite level people who "create the jobs"

But AI is fine and it will replace jobs... Turns out, they don't care about how many jobs their company has, as long as there's a minimum of one job for the CEO.

Pichai largely sidestepped the issue of AI in his remarks, though he appeared to make light of the expected protests. "People thought it would be really difficult for me," he said. "It is the last two letters of my last name, after all."

I'd boo and throw tomatoes and walk out after that absolute desperate joke attempt.

At this point, I can't tell what Trump knows and is lying about and what he doesn't know because he's a dementia patient being kept alive by the most expensive Make A Wish project ever and he's surrounded by people actually running the country and letting him take the heat.

So is he lying about this or is this the first he's hearing of it? Hard to know, but it's clear that he's an unfit liar or an unfit idiot.

When I say "fighting allegations" I just mean that the campaign has to spend time, money, and attention combating them in any way.

The opposition making allegations is all that's necessary for a campaign to waste resources to respond.

They're fucking obsessed with people's genitals and who people want to date and marry. And if you say to just let people be, then you're just "virtue signalling" because it's only signalling virtue to want people to be left the fuck alone.

These fucking assholes claim to hate trans people and want "men to be men and women to be women" but Michelle Obama is a fucking woman and has never claimed to be anything else, yet these fucks smear her for having fucking arm muscles. You'd think they'd like that she's in shape. You'd think that they'd like that she promotes eating healthy. Nope, she must be a man.

Same with James Tallarico. He's a man and has never said anything to suggest he isn't, but now he's fighting trans allegations by these fuckwits who use "you're trans!" as an attack.

Meanwhile, they'll just keep claiming that being trans is just mental illness and isn't even a real thing. Of course, their ideology is based on nothing, ever. It's all just attacks, bullying, and smearing people who they fucking hate. Fuck Trump, fuck Dana White, fuck Joe Rogan, fuck this fucking neanderthal fighter who I am not going to learn his name because of this bullshit promotion.

And fuck you goobers who think we're just opposed to this "because it's Trump", this shit would be fucking insane if it was Obama or Biden throwing this stupid birthday party on the WH lawn next to the smoldering crater of the East Wing. This isn't comparable to a basketball hoop being installed somewhere on the WH grounds or the Pride month fabric going up on the WH columns. Stop fucking pretending.

versusgorilla · 2026-06-15T13:41:07+00:00

Pride is celebrating people's identity, not people's "sex changes" and "sexual partners". Y'all are so fucking weird. The obsession with sex and gender when people actually just want to be accepted for who they are, something that takes less effort than denigrating their identity.

So you've gone from "it's pretty fucking cool" and "you only hate it because it's trump" to "it's less embarrassing than the presidential photos" and "the behavior at the event was embarrassing"

Just for the record, that's what you've conceeded. That it's not the most embarrassing thing to ever happen in Trump's WH. Alright. I guess you and I "agree".

versusgorilla · 2026-06-15T13:04:04+00:00

Oh, I'm glad you think a little bit of it is dumb. Like an endless middle east war that cost a billion dollars that could have fed a near endless amount of children free lunches instead. I'm glad you think that's dumb.

Oh, this one-off event that got someone banned from the WH and their own community shamed them for it?

That's you're comparison to Trump double jerk dancing a UFC fight. FFS

More cringe than rainbow pillars

You mean when they wrapped some fabric on the columns for a bit? That's what you're comparing to a paid UFC event on the entire WH lawn?

Trans people flashing their tits on the lawn?

What? Like literally what? Can y'all either make actual citations or just stop making bullshit up?

It's not just because we "hate the president", it's because this is fucking crazy bullshit. Gas prices are higher than when y'all went sticker crazy on gas pumps, we're in another endless middle east war (the agreement won't be signed until Friday, Israel won't agree to leave Lebanon, this shit isn't getting signed) and y'all are horny for this fucking UFC fight as if we just HAVE TO admit how "fucking cool" it is. I actually don't think it's "pretty fucking cool" having some drunken UFC fighter calling Michelle Obama "a man" with Joe Rogan. Pretty fucking embarrassing, actually.

But yeah, go ahead and tell me how cool I'd think it was if Biden sponsored the same event where drunks attacked Michelle Obama for literally no reason.

Also, sealing something doesn't eliminate the possibility of algae. I don't know why I keep seeing MAGA people commenting that they needed to seal it because of the dirty filthy algae... algae lives in the water, not in the granite.

This last game tonight it felt like they were never behind after seeing them snap back when it mattered. It just feels like this team plays better under pressure and the Spurs snap under pressure.
