  1. Honestly that's a pretty solid critique of modern country music lmfao
  2. something, something, imperfect vessel
  3. Valve just dropped a ton of news! Steam Controller 2, Steam Frame (VR headset), Steam Machine (x86 linux gaming box running SteamOS), and even friggin SteamOS for ARM https://store.steampowered.com/sale/hardware
  4. Most podcasts aren't 100% scripted like a book reading is - it's inherently a conversational format with reactions and participation from the narrators. An audiobook has authorial intent and can carry the author's voice forward, even if it isn't literally voiced by the author.
  5. Wow strong public rebuke from a major intelligence ally https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/11/uk-suspends-intelligence-sharing-with-us-amid-airstikes-in-the-caribbean Britain has suspended the sharing of intelligence with the US on suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean amid concerns information supplied may be used to engage in lethal military strikes by American forces. Such a decision – a rare rupture between the normally close military allies – would indicate that the UK does not believe the Trump administration’s controversial practice of sinking boats allegedly used by drug traffickers is legal. The UK, which retains oversight on several island territories in the Caribbean, has long shared intelligence with the US about the movements of suspect vessels travelling from Latin America, so they can be seized by the US Coast Guard.
  6. The Independent: Epstein claimed that Donald Trump ‘knew about the girls’ in private emails In one email to Wolff dated January 31, 2019, Epstein apparently wrote: “Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever...of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.” In another email from April 2011, Epstein claimed to Maxwell that Trump had “spent hours” with a victim, whose name is redacted. “i want you to realise that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump...[VICTIM] spent hours at my hours with him...he has never once been mentioned,” Epstein told Maxwell, according to the emails. Wolff apparently wrote to Epstein on December, 15, 2015 — the night of a debate in the Republican presidential primary – where the author told the disgraced financier that CNN was “planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you – either on air or in scrum afterwards.” Epstein replied: “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff replied to Epstein, according to the email. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.” “You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt,” Wolff apparently continued. “Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.” edit: Others reporting too if that's more your speed https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/us/politics/trump-epstein-emails.html https://abc7chicago.com/post/house-democrats-release-new-epstein-emails-referencing-president-donald-trump/18147317/ and PBS has the actual emails https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/read-jeffrey-epsteins-newly-released-emails-about-trump
  7. It's the same "I'm not political, I just post in DT and the business board" type of bullshit lie that we see often. The "anti-political" folks are ALWAYS coming from a position of "the conservative dogma is law, and asserting facts that disagree with my narrative is deeply political"
  8. And the defendants negligence led to deaths of dozens of children. It's not like the plaintiffs have a hard time proving their damages and the Eastman's negligence. It's pretty goddamn apparent
  9. stripping voting rights from servicemembers, nice.
  10. bro don't be such a caveman - "bucks"?? He's got all that super-valuable $TRUMP coin just sitting there! Why not just issue stimulus in the form of his own private scrip? Save the public debt and all that hooey
  11. I think he would probably issue an order by fiat that funds from his extralegal actions and policy be redistributed. Hey wait, isn't that what the President is proposing?
  12. It's gone now
  13. There's a good faith argument to be made over using ML-driven systems to automate ATC for "normal" traffic, allowing a smaller group of human controllers to handle emergent scenarios that go outside the "normal" parameters. The real reason for having humans in the loop is to handle the scenarios that you don't already have data for, and that require snap judgements. Like when equipment fails at an inopportune moment, or there's some uncontrolled external factor
  14. And THAT is the power of a monopolistic trust - they control such an incredible degree of social media, largely through acquisition, that they can go in dry on their customers AND their users and there's very little recourse
  15. This is good advice, but there's a TON of Americans that live in food deserts with no easy access to fresh food.
  16. But it pumps their stock, which lets them take out tax free loans against the fraudulent paper value.
  17. Well mainly from your earlier contributions being how it isn't as bad as it all looks because they aren't going into schools. And since that line has been crossed repeatedly I'm glad to see your acknowledgement of evil happening
  18. What grit did you use, 120-200 or somewhere in there? And just something like a handheld orbital sander?
  19. prosecution just couldn't cut the mustard
  20. very important to emphasize that she's not calling him a liar - she's pointing out that he DID lie and admitted it She also noted Bovino himself has deployed tear gas without warning and lied about the circumstances that led to his actions. She said in Brighton Park on Oct. 4, video shows that "Defendant Bovino obviously attacks and tackles" a person to the ground, despite saying he never used force against that person. "More telling," she said, "Defendant Bovino admitted that he lied. He admitted that he lied that a rock hit him before he deployed tear gas in Little Village."
  21. I've found myself having this conversation with my in-laws as well, not something I would have imagined
  22. Daycare teachers and caregivers are being kidnapped by ICE in Illinois. Not sure if that's enough to make folks like @DaggerHorns care, even if she had a work permit and was a trusted member of the community.
  23. lulz like how Incredulity can only ever call me a communist. Nice
  24. WTF, 59-north into downtown had a fucking ICE checkpoint set up on it yesterday to do profiling against brown people
