Unfortunately, taking it offline also won’t work, because iirc games stop working if the console hasn’t been online in a month.

Kinda hard to ask her at this point.

And it still won’t be that Tiger King guy.

Remember when Trump was leaving office and he was convinced Trump was gonna pardon him, and his team rented a stretch hummer or something like that and then he didn’t get a pardon?

It would be nice for all of us who’ve known he’s a dipshit for years, but there’s always new people coming along that haven’t realized yet.

I’d rather have to see more articles about some dumb thing he said, than to live in a world where I’m in an increasingly small club of people who know he’s an idiot.

The explaination for the sign reads like an LLM. The first sentence might be Trump.

I just want to say, Mamdani is excellent. But I feel like he’s getting a lot of undue credit when the candidates he endorsed are just great people. For example, Brad Lander was a similarly-strong candidate for NYC mayor who was arrested by ICE for attempting to prevent them from detaining someone. When Mamdani won the Primary for Mayor everyone kinda just knew Brad had a future somewhere else.

Mamdani deserves some credit for endorsing good people, and using his brand to boost them, but it seems like the accomplishments of those he endorsed are getting overshadowed in articles and headlines by what seems like an attempt to turn real progressive momentum into “Mamdani’s little club.”

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Mamdani, or even him being the face of the movement. It just seems like there are people in power trying to undermine him and the movement by making him the face of it.

Thank you for your service! o7

How much do you think it would take to get the Pentagon to sue LLM companies for bad intelligence? With as much as this administration refuses to take blame for anything, if they’d just scapegoat the AI companies and sacrifice them on the altar of Trump’s ego, we could at least get a small win out of this whole mess.

Good to know they’ve seperated his ashes so he can’t regenerate.

Considering the Reddit posts they also dug up from his past that he was forced to distance himself from (the first “controversy” his campaign had to deal with), I don’t think there’s any chance he’s secretly a Nazi.

Unfortunately we’re in a drought and it was surrounded by trees. On the one hand, finishing what General Sherman started sounds like a great idea, but it also would cause a lot of pain for innocent people so there are good reasons not to go that route.

It was actually recently taken down, I’m local and heard the reason was something to do with it never actually having been properly permitted to be on the land it was on or something.

Edit: Zoning and not obtaining proper permission for it to be that tall were the reasons it was removed. https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2026/02/14/judge-orders-removal-of-confederate-flag-along-i-85/

It’s been really nice to drive through that area and not spend the next 30 minutes fuming and plotting to shoot gallium-filled paint balls at the aluminum pole it was on.

I mean, his support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was pretty controversial towards the end of his life. I think many gave him a “pass” on that due to his illness at the time. But I do recall some starting to question even then, his inconsistency of “religious wars bad, unless it’s against religions I don’t like” (at least that’s how it came across).

As someone who lives in South Carolina, there is one small benefit to this guy being such a nutcase, He’s distracting Lindsey and his PACs, we’ve gotten a couple fliers in the mail from Lindsey Graham affiliates calling out Mark Lynch’s crazy antics (most specifically his calls to legalize cocaine). Haven’t seen one ad attacking the leading Democrat, Annie Andrews. And sure, that will probably pick up after the primaries are over, but I do love watching Republicans waste money fighting each other.

Out of the loop, why is this an Emma Vigeland W? (She’s awesome, just unaware of how this connects to her)

Not particularly proud of all this, but as an autistic millenial kid who had access to the internet in the late '90s early 2000s I’ve got a relevant story.

If you wanted to look at boobs on the internet in the era of waiting a minute for images to load, Playboy was an easy way to avoid some of the more hardcore and kink porn on the internet. You could be pretty sure that regardless of what site you were on, Playboy content would actually contain boobs, and you wouldn’t waste 2 minutes slowly loading a picure of a dude in a gimp mask getting pegged through the bars of a pet cage (not trying to yuck anyone’s yum, but when you’re a dumb teen with absent parents looking for boobs, it wasn’t what I was after). Eventually Playboy content started to be considered “too vanilla” by the majority of porn users at the time, but I still liked vanilla and kinda let my Autism go crazy on occasion over the years to download and organize offline copies of a bunch of photosets.

Time passes, I get a bit older and become a young adult, the internet gets faster, at some point I revisit the porn archival hyperfixation, and foolishly write a script to scrape and download photosets straight from Playboy’s paid member-only site.

Obviously one of their web admins notices that my account is a huge chunk of their monthly traffic, and I get an email from their customer service basically saying their admins noticed unusual activity on my account, and to explain myself or face a ban. I made up some excuse that worked on the customer service agent and they let me off with a warning.

But the next day I got an email from the admin that said he knew what I had done, and that the answer I gave the customer service rep was a lie, and if he ever caught me again he’d send the police after me for possession of CSAM. I replied that the only images I had were from their site, how is that CSAM, and if there is CSAM they would be in more trouble for distributing/selling access to it. He wrote back and said yeah, we’re a company, the rules don’t apply the same as individuals, and that if I kept arguing with him he’d ban me anyway.

So, yeah, I deleted everything I had downloaded and decided that hyperfixation wasn’t worth it.

While I agree with you, I’m not sure Chromebooks should count as “using tech” for the sake of learning. If you really want to give a younger generation experience with technology there are far better systems for them to learn on.

Just a minor bit of pedantry, but Social Security Numbers are generally abbreviated as SSN, SSID usually refers to a “Service Set Identifier” aka WiFi network name.

I dislike civil asset forfeiture as it’s generally used, but there’s nothing really stopping us from using the government to just nationalize those companies/means of production. Obviously we’ll have to get the Epstein class out of government first, but I truly believe this should be a part of the Epstein class’s punishment for their part in everything (in addition to more traditional punishments like prison, etc).

It’s not much, but one I wrote on a note at my desk a few months ago: “Hang in there, you’ve got graves to piss on.”
