  1. We cyberpunk now, boys
  2. Lol Trump's obsession with Greenland is him dancing along to a Kremlin tune, as always https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/01/13/danish-intelligence-russia-forged-letter-to-spark-trumps-greenland-purchase-bid/
  3. In the software/tech world there's a mountain of bad and shitty patents - the Oracle/Google fight over "APIs" springs to mind as a recent example. Patents by and large have stopped being a mechanism to give inventors a window to profit off their idea, and are now a cudgel used against competitors to drag them down and stop innovation. It's not that patents in and of themselves are a bad thing, but they are THE weapon of choice in effectively killing competition in a durable and sustainable manner
  4. Germany is a decent real world example too, they have some very VERY strident laws on the books with respect to certain groups that contain very fine people
  5. There will a ton fewer "ifs" after January 20th. That is the origin point of the the uncertainty, we really don't know what was lies and what was truth.
  6. The boomers in my life are all on it still, buying low quality shirts to give as Christmas gifts and falling for FB marketplace scams
  7. There's that word again.... Amirite @Incredulity?
  8. Who could have guessed that a guy who made an algorithm to rank the fuckability of his female classmates might be a piece of shit? It's wild that their recent changes to remove fact checking are directly driven by their need to grow engagement. They WANT everyone to argue over the basic fundamental facts of a situation - it drives engagement and clicks and ad revenue. Not to mention that sweet monetizable user data to boot. I had faint hopes of a US version of the GDPR cutting his knees out from under him, but it was folly to hope as much. Dude has too much money to worry about silly things like laws and the consent of his subjects/users/products now
  9. Reagan was the version 1.0 of this sort of fuckery and flaunting of public accountability. Ollie North sends his regards
  10. https://wyofile.com/make-carbon-dioxide-great-again-law-would-ban-carbon-reduction-efforts-in-wyoming/ "Make CO2 great again!" Gimme a fucking break
  11. As the token African American that's pseudo-affiliated with the administration he's OBVIOUSLY just the DEI hire
  12. It's consistent with a loss of power following a bird strike to the engines, and that model of 737 didn't have a battery backup for the flight recorder
  13. Even with fuckin videogames, it's wild.
  14. Frankly he shouldn't have been in that position. Horrible calls by sark to put us in that position in the first place
  15. Couldn't score on 1st and fucking one. Fuck me
  16. Blue on a wheel route is a powerful playcall indeed
  17. IM BLUE DABA DEE DABA DIE IF I WERE A BUCKEYE I WOULD DIE
  18. Quinn gets swatted and tipped more than any other QB I see I feel like
