Guilded is dead. Their website redirects to a thank-you page of some sort. I remember trying it out ages ago and I thought it was pretty decent competition for Discord and had a lot of the same features, but ultimately it would have been susceptible to the same kind of fuckery that Discord is giving us right now. These private companies only want to extract value out of their users.

The key revelation here is that this was after his conviction. They knew what this dude was about and still showed up to a dinner party.

Musk and Zuck wanted to fuck kids.

💯

The time to be concerned about the direction of the political system was November of 2024.

It’s quite literally too late to do anything about it now. If Trump wants to cancel elections, there will be much hand-wringing and finger-waggling while congress debates about the legality of such a thing in a committee to no avail and the courts slow-walk any kind of injunction that would preemptively prevent them from doing it before it actually mattered.

Why should any of us be surprised that the guy who tried to subvert democracy once before is brazenly and openly stating his desire to do so again? This result was so utterly predictable that I feel secondhand embarrassment for anybody just now getting anxious about the political system.

And then you have to do the dishes too, of which you would need multiple if you are adding in all the same ingredients as taco bell menu items and getting it done in 10 minutes.

It’s okay though because Zuck greased the Trump admin’s palms with his Presidential Library bribe, so they’ll get a slap on the wrist at best.

Literally anything but FOSS, huh?

Out of the frying pan and into a cold frying pan.

To basically anywhere that will take them.

If we’re taking consideration of the lessons we learned from history, when Nazi Germany ran out of other countries to send their undesirables, the death camps were constructed.

So… what happens when other countries get tired of accepting thousands of U.S. deportees?

So the administration has quadrupled down on saying they are only going after thugs and criminals and narco terrorists and then they snatch little kids off the street? Because they can’t prove they are a citizen? There isn’t a single person on that ICE squad that can confidently tell me that they carried their identification on them at all times as a kid.

Republicans, what the fuck is wrong with you? Wake the fuck up and help us stop this insanity.

If those very standard topics are verboten during the job interview, imagine what it will be like if you were subordinate to those people.

That pussy name brand tho…

He is an adjudicated rapist.

As for the pedophilia, his various comments over the years sexualizing minors (including his own daughter), eyewitness accounts of him entering teen pageant dressing rooms unannounced, his close friendship with Epstein, and his general unwillingness to cooperate with releasing unredacted versions of the files are just about all the evidence you need to have a reasonable suspicion that he is involved with the trafficking or rape of children. Unfortunately we probably won’t know the whole truth until after he leaves office or dies because we live in a clown country where the chief executive is immune to consequences.

I think it’s a little too soon to say if it’s a market crash or just a correction. The markets have been getting hammered the past few weeks, though.

I tried doing Ironman a while back. Not even on classic, just on whatever the latest patch was. It was only getting easier with time and I wanted my name on that leaderboard. In my mind, it didn’t seem like it would be that difficult as long as I played carefully.

I gave up after level 20. I didn’t die, but I had a few close calls and figured it wasn’t going to be worth it to grind out 90+ more levels using the worst gear in the game and no healing or stat boosting items.

That dominoes shit makes no sense to me. I’ve tried to look up the rules multiple times online and then I go into the game and try to make a legal move and the game won’t let me.

Whoever programmed that shit was on crack.

Far from the worst. Steyer and Bloomberg were absolutely worse candidates, they just had the funds to stay solvent for long enough for American Democrats to tell them so.

In what I assure you is a completely unrelated off-topic discussion, which is the more effective surface-to-air missile platform? The Stinger or the IGLA?

I miss my Blackberry Pearl…

I fear that that design of phone layout/UI will never make a comeback.

So, these idiots didn’t learn their lesson the first time with the colossal flop that was Stadia and now they want to convince us that, this time for sure, we really don’t want to own our own hardware and cloud computing is the future?

These guys should not be getting a single bent penny for convincing people to switch over to cloud computing when their AI slop machines are responsible for the scarcity that is causing hardware prices to be completely uneconomical.

But if the left side of the political spectrum is still the domain of scholarship and expertise, take note that you don’t find scholars and experts you worrying about canceled US elections.

Sure Ken, that’s because all the scholars and experts on fascism have already fled the country.
