Is that JD Vance and his new couch?

The story gets less and less happy as it goes. Particularly the part where she insisted the embryo only go to a white Christian family.

Oh hell yeah. Start pumping them out after 70 years so they can collect Social Security from birth.

16 year olds working isn’t that unusual, though it depends on what exactly they had her doing at the spa. If it was stocking shelves, ok, but if it was giving “massages,” it gets creepy fast.

It is telling that his best friend sold a teen girl to be sex trafficked, and Trump was annoyed because he lost an employee and didn’t feel at all compelled to report the whole sex trafficking teens thing.

Kids traumatized by school shootings express themselves via media that others find distasteful? Straight to jail.

Overabundance of guns makes the US the only major country in the world where school gun violence is a daily occurrence? “Thoughts and prayers…”

The heart was going “kethumpathumpadump,” the doctor put a finger up the guy’s butt, and then his heart reset to a normal “lub dub, lub dub.”

Nah, it’ll be Half Life Alyx: Epsiode 1.

Bud claims he’s “working” during his full waking hours. Nah, having a job where your decision making and planning is spread out throughout the day does not mean you’re working all the time.

No NVIDIA employee is going to buy that he’s continuously working while going to the movies, playing golf, hanging out with work buddies over lunch, etc. while they’re physically sitting at a desk working. Sure, there are pockets of work in there and productive things may happen, but he’s not working in the same sense his staff is.

Last book (reading with my kid): The Wild Robot Escapes. Definitely would recommend, nearly on par with the first.

Current book: The Wild Robot Protects. Would recommend if you’re a fan of the series; otherwise, it seems like a step down so far.

Yep. I assume since Candy Crush hasn’t been culturally relevant for like 10 years that it’s on its last leg anyway and this is a desperate attempt to prop up a dying company. Though I’m afraid to check though because I don’t want to see that it’s still posting record profits year after year.

Nah he’s a Boomer.

“Most of level design has been wiped, which is crazy since they’ve spent months building tools to craft levels quicker,” said one employee. “Now those AI tools are basically replacing the teams. Similarly, the copywriting team is completely removing people since we now have AI tools that those individuals have been creating.”

Is that surprising? All along these developers have been training their replacement.

Thinking about work is not the same as working. Maybe he should invest some money into therapy for his work anxiety.

“Life sucks and then you die.”

Thanks dad.

iOS is adding the menu transparency that desktops have had for over 15 years. Android is adding AI. They are both just adding things that people already use and are calling them new.

Apple’s going to add some transparency to buttons and call it a groundbreaking redesign while Android is going to go all in on AI.

So iPhones will become more Apple and Android will become more Google.

teachers from so-called “woke” states would also have to pass a new test of their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, American exceptionalism, and “their grasp of fundamental biological differences between boys and girls.”

Question 5:

America is: a. Pretty good b. Great c. The greatest d. THE GREATEREST!!! AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

Nah, you don’t get credit for suicide.

But to your broader point, it takes a lot of work to right something that’s bad. Someone who has a troubled youth but does their time and spends years rehabilitating their image may be remembered for their later years, while someone who is a terrible person and then says something nice on their deathbed is likely to only be remembered for the bad.

Tying back to the shower thought, a show can start out bad and get good (Star Trek TNG, Parks and Recreation,) but a show whose only good episode is the finale is unlikely to be remembered fondly.

We absolutely do apply these to people. Kevin Spacey? Bill Cosby? Jeffrey Epstein? Jared Fogle? Joe Paterno? Louis CK? Chris Brown? P. Diddy? Harvey Weinstein? OJ Simpson?

Your post made me realize that troll links in general are going to be mystifying. Case in point, Arctic gave me a thumbnail without needing to click.
