I understand that I have a parasocial relationship with the guy seeing that I’ve never actually met him and I’ve been watching his content for well over a decade but the sheer amount of work that he has put into educational content speaks for itself. He and John are also a big part of my journey out of a cult and into acceptance of my queer identity. If anyone deserves praise for helping people learn, it’s Hank and John.

What’s wrong with Hank?

Might be a solicitation for bribes from Congress. He’s made his message clear that he wants more money and Congress certainly has the power to grant that. I don’t think it would stop him from screwing over minorities tho.

Kushner is one of the reasons I wish hell was real.

I regret purchasing Diablo III and with everything I’ve been hearing from people playing IV and what I’ve observed going into the game, I’m 95% sure I won’t enjoy it. It’s a fact that most twitch streamers playing IV abandoned it to play previous versions of Diablo. Connecting the dots isn’t hard and doesn’t require you to play the game.

And here I thought it was the Palestinians raping people. /s

Bless you for this photo

Fuck sponges. I get a dopamine rush replacing my brush.

This isn’t about value for the taxpayer. It’s about power. It’s about keeping those peons in line.

Don’t be so cynical. Even SCOTUS forced Alabama to re-draw their maps. There’s only so much that the right can do to undermine everyone else’s authority.

If the off-election two years ago is any indication, the 'pubs are doomed. Presidential terms are 4 years but we hold elections for Congress every 2. The last one was in 2022 where everyone was predicting a “red wave” because usually the opposition to the party in the white house makes massive gains. The Republicans and their supporters were expecting to gain a majority in the Senate and they lost seats instead. They gained a majority in the house but only by a very slim margin. Definitely not the super majority they were expecting. This is unheard of in our nation’s history and it’s because the Republicans activated negative turnout. More and more people are becoming more interested in politics and it’s not because they like the Democrats, but because they really hate Republicans right now. You can thank SCOTUS taking away abortion rights for that. What little support women had for the Republicans is long gone after that decision. Don’t trust the polls or the Twitter spammers. The 'pubs are entering the dark ages and it’s all their doing.

You’d be surprised. I was raised by people like this and they would emotionally explode if you ever even so much as suggest that they are being racist.

To pretend one is not racist, one must first understand that they are being racist.

Lol, read that headline again and tell me you’re concerned about the cost. The death penalty literally costs more than life imprisonment in the United States. What would be your lower cost alternative?

I think they’re being facetious. Not that I’m defending the behavior. It would almost be funny if the source material wasn’t so fucked up.

Put each in a 5x5 cell with a light that never goes out. No human contact, just them alone with their thoughts for the rest of their miserable lives.

I ducking hate how they removed functionality from them. They don’t show when they were posted, you can’t speed them up or slow them down, they repeat forever which is annoying if your going through the comments, the buttons being on top of the video obscures it, I can’t cast them to the TV from my phone (which is weird because it will play them if I select them directly from the TV app), it’s just a terrible UX overall. I never swipe up and I’m starting to get annoyed with how cumbersome it is to exit out to watch regular videos once I’ve watched the short I clicked on. I really don’t understand why YouTube wants to sacrifice everything that makes it great to be more like tiktok. If I wanted that format, I would go to tiktok.

I watch shorts but I never swipe up. I pick which ones I want to watch.

I think the value in Mastodon rn is getting away from the algo. I think the lack of one does limit its marketability though. I never really liked Twitter but I know a lot of people who do who hate mastodon because of how complicated it feels and the lack of content.
