Holtzmann made that movie. I still tingle when she goes to town with the dual proton pistols.

And half the country. 😩

So, so many people refuse to believe they’re even capable of being wrong.

Technically it would be suck-sectional.

I appreciate the self-reflection.

And we’ll burn any books that say otherwise!

Bluesky is very left leaning which I’m not sure I like. An example, the other day there was a thread about using blocklists and a user said they are silly because you have to trust the creator of that list. Another user said talk like that will get you blocked, many people agreed with the second user. That culture worries me. BTW I agree with the first user.

How is this an example of “left leaning”?

My best friend and I suggested online that maybe this friend of ours stop using “gay” as an insult (this was around 2009 or so) and he and his girlfriend became adamantly defensive and mean. When they implied that my best friend was molesting his beloved dog just to be assholes, I just cut the cord and walked away. They were idiots anyway.

Fun fact: the girlfriend was, and is, a huge “do good” volunteer advocacy leader. So, you know, help each other out, but don’t get in the way of my homophobic slurs.

Bro looks like he aged twelve years in the past four.

Ugh. I hate how right you are.

I’m sorry, are there any different dystopias available other than this one? This one is stupid and I’d like to make an exchange if I can.

I guess you can always make it shittier?

I never understood the appeal of Threads anyway. Like, who leaves Xitter because it’s toxic garbage and goes to something owned by Meta, who practically invented this particular flavor of toxic garbage?

They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

“First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

I see Star Control anything and I upvote.

There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.

I’m not a vape user, but the model is the kind of thing that just makes me so angry.

In a world that makes sense:

• small, mostly metal vape chassis
• rechargeable, replaceable battery
• built-in glass reservoir with charging valve
• vape juice sold in medium to large recyclable cans with standard interface to the charging valve

In a world where Profit is God (the real world):

• disposable chassis
• disposable battery
• if it’s refillable at all, it’s via non-recyclable, mixed material, mostly plastic, proprietary cartridges and you can save 5% if you subscribe online for refills, 10% if you pay yearly, $5 credit if you refer a friend on social media using hashtag #smoovape
• probably gives you turbo cancer because the juice is made in a repurposed Freon plant that was inadequately converted and they just don’t answer the phone when the FDA or EPA call

How can you tell if someone runs Linux on their personal computer?

Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

A wide range of rump fucking target audiences!

So you’re saying someone needs to sell a bunch of “FUCK RUMP” decals? I mean I was already thinking of starting that business.

Oh, haha I thought I’d heard of Aki in the context of wrestling games, but assumed I must have been thinking Yuke’s.

Currently we’re sticking to 8-bit and 16-bit, though we’ll eventually start graduating into PS1 and so on. He doesn’t really have any awareness of or demonstrated interest in wrestling yet, but I’ll keep it in mind. I always did envy WCW/NWO Revenge when it came out…
