I was kind of hoping this would be like something with substance. But ok. If you want to change anyone’s mind Justin Timberlake isn’t the way. I don’t know why you’d work against yourself here.

Interesting. I mean, I’m sure Bernie has faults but I don’t really see the point in attacking someone who created and is holding the only tent pole for, frankly, a reasonable middle of the road candidate (if we view him in comparison to the rest of the sane world).

I get giving shit to Corey Booker. People are gray. I can list a handful of things that Corey has done lately that fit this meme.

I honestly don’t even know what this meme is referring to maybe I’m out of the loop.
But I agree with you, attacking Bernie isn’t the way. Reeks of agent provocateur.

My guess is it’s a fresh wave of propaganda to wedge the progressives. What’s new.

People don’t have to be perfect for us to join the cause and make it better. Don’t fall for it kids. We only get out of this if we ignore this bullshit and link arms.

Ps: and look, I get it if Bernie isn’t left enough for some of you. That’s ok to feel that way and it’s probably true for a good lot of you. But attacking him ain’t gonna solve the massive fuckstorm we are collectively going to go through. We either quit bullshit like this or die from factionalization. Like every other movement has in the past 95 years.

Find some other tree to bark up

Who will you be conscripted by in the corporate wars?

The best summation of this was done in a speech by Kurt Vonnegut, Why my dog is not a humanist.

The full speech explains what you are going after.

Yeah it was a breath of fresh air for maybe 3 weeks. Before the leaders got their claws in.

In 1998, who could have predicted that in 2025, users would be the lords of porn pop-ups?

Forcing the Eye of Microsoft to gaze my mommy milker daddy dwarf bangers is truly the quintessential example of that which is nameless in the Tao.

Oh I see I see it’s the stump has sprouts and they will maybe grow? That’s fantastic news! I wish the tree well. It’s probably wondering what the f happened. Hadrian’s wall is a cool place to set down roots. I hope the tree is stubborn as hell and can start a new life.

They were grown ass men. Why the hell would they kill a living being like that? Trees talk to each other and they live well beyond our human years. The local area belongs more to the tree than any individual man—they’ll be here for centuries beyond us if they are lucky.

People don’t respect trees as much as they do animals and I do think that’s wrong. We should be very mindful of how we treat trees. I think we arrogantly underestimate plant life.

I’m sure some dwarves would call me a dirty elf for my feelings on this but chopping down trees like this for no reason is painful. I hope they get everything they deserve.

It’s kind of insane right? I have more education and should be better off but…I’ll be honest my quality of life as a college student during the Great Recession was scary but it was higher quality of life than I have now. I don’t even have kids.

I never worried about whether there would be food in the stores. I’ve been worrying about the supply chain for 5 years now. It’s not that I can’t afford the food it’s that the food isn’t nearly the same quality. Most of the food we are getting here goes rotten extremely quickly. Herbs are bad in the stores. Tomatoes are bland and bruised. It keeps getting worse.

Rent is softening in my city. I’ve been watching the market. I’ve also been going to open houses and negotiating with the agents on rent to see what they’ll say and where they stand. Tons of houses in my area sitting for 30 days plus. My soft estimate is a lot of the rentals near me don’t get that it’s not 2023 anymore and they’re roughly 15%-20% overpriced. Many are lowering their prices 4.5% every 2-3 weeks until someone rents.

Also seeing overly hopeful pricing for sale too. Lots of 10k-20k price cuts. Some cutting 100k when they sit a bit. The average days on the market was 45 days in Q4 2024 (if my memory is correct). Which isn’t abnormal but the days sitting is trending up — houses starting to sit longer.

We are about to hit the height of the rental market and selling season. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people have to price their rental below their mortgage if they are renting a house they overpaid for in 2023.

Not really good news if you’re holding real estate in America. Could be good if you’re in an area that might get a rental correction. We’ll see. Doesn’t help the inventory crisis. Still need more housing.

PugJesus deserves their own statue at this point.

Morrowind was my first Elderscrolls game. I loved morrowind and I would buy an remaster of it.

Oblivion came out when I was an adult. I sunk thousands of hours into it when it came out. It was my favorite game by far at that time.

Skyrim I didn’t enjoy. It was fine, I guess. But by the time Skyrim came around I started to see Bethesda change. Fallout 4 and then Fallout 76 sealed the deal for me turning from a Bethesda fanboy to a hater.

Overall, I do not believe Bethesda will ever put out another new original game that is polished or quality. Bethesda rips off their biggest supporters and lies to their customers.

That being said. I’m very happy with this remake. Because it’s been 20 years since I first played, I genuinely only remember a few strong moments. All the minor quests and even the main story I barely remember the details of. So, it’s nice to revisit the game as a more mature adult. I think they did a fantastic job keeping the feel the same but it looks great considering.

Can’t run it on my LegionGo that’s my only complaint. I’m happy with having bought the remastered version of Oblivion because I’m sure as hell never buying a new original game from Bethesda ever again. Not unless they do an about face.

who is the president again?

OR MORE specifically the non-lawyers writing bar exam questions with AI.

Katie Moran, an associate professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law who specializes in bar exam preparation, told the newspaper, “It’s a staggering admission.”

“The State Bar has admitted they employed a company to have a non-lawyer use AI to draft questions that were given on the actual bar exam,” she said. “They then paid that same company to assess and ultimately approve of the questions on the exam, including the questions the company authored.”

Non lawyers writing questions for a competency exam for lawyers with zero oversight by anyone in the profession?

As a lawyer—this is bullshit.

Haha right?

It’s good for us to remember that it’s not a skill issue in recognizing potential corruption. They’re just very cool with corruption when the color of the hat is their favorite.

I agree with you about Drag Me to Hell. I liked that movie but I didn’t think it was scary. It was fun though.

I think the only movie that actually creeped me out in the past decade was It Follows and Hereditary.

Hereditary was good separately on another level if a person enjoys the history of horror. Hereditary managed to write a story that pulled elements from the 1970’s Horror movie greats. So, it felt like a homage to those greats while also not being predictable. They went for it.

I agree with you about most horror—especially PG13 horror. Those kinds of “horror” are for teens to ignore on a date at the movies rather than an actual horror film.

It’s the amount of Wimps of Wallstreet that would support Champagne, even if they weren’t ever drinking Champagne themselves, that is part of issue.

This headline is part of the problem:

In one case a mother and baby were harmed after an inaccurate scan, with the staff member saying fatigue and workload contributed.

In the chemotherapy case the staff were nearly nine hours into a 12.5-hour day shift and had only managed five to six hours of sleep between shifts and had limited breaks because of staffing pressures.

The hospital investigation found fatigue was “likely to have been a factor”.

It’s not a novel finding that people who are tired make mistakes. We know this. But this issue is framed incorrectly.

What entity is driving an entire workforce of people to be overworked? Limited breaks because of staffing pressure?

The article shifts the blame to the individual worker with this type of headline.

The article should be written in a less biased way: The government and the NHS are putting patients at risk by failing to properly staff hospitals.

You’re a genius. I’m on it.

Aw Ren you look sweet. Thanks for taking care of your owner Ren
