Why are you looking at my profile? I'm not interesting. ... I am, however, pansexual, panromantic, and non-binary, and happy to say that here, on the off chance that someone will read this and know they are not alone.

I've been watching clips of Columbo recently, and I have this scenario playing out in my head where Columbo catches a guy who murdered the CEO of a health care company because the guy was denying coverage. Very much like Luigi didn't do.

Naturally Columbo catches the killer, but the episode ends with the killer shaming Columbo for catching one person who killed one person, while hundreds of rich people murder thousands each day...

I say nay; 'socialist' has been a dog whistle for far too long. I say we normalize it by using it.

Interesting. I can see Section 230 protecting Musk, but 230 does NOT protect websites who fail to moderate their content, and that includes illegal content. I think this is one of those AI lawsuits that we need, because politicians aren't taking any necessary action to curb it...

He'll never squeal. We know what he's like in a courtroom; if he's not falling asleep, he's denying all wrongdoing despite a mountain of evidence. Lying got him into the White House; he is convinced it'll keep him out of a prison cell. And the most frustrating thing is... he's probably right, too.

They want the same thing, they're just approaching it from different directions.

"That which is considered attractive by selections of culture" is something that can be quantified; beyond that, it is entirely subjective. "I find this person of the same sex to be attractive" is subjective, and goes back to the "nobody's THAT straight" concept. Because identity is a spectrum, and that counts for gender and orientation. There is no meaningful binary; somewhere out there is something that'll make everyone go "... well, now that you mention it..."

No word of a lie, my grocery list is half a post-it note that has been stuck to the outside of my wallet for 6 months. Why the living fuck do people need AI to tell them what food to buy?

Look at the first Penny Arcade strip compared to the current ones. You can get better with practice. If you have a story to tell, tell it.

Rest in Pride to the one that died. For all others... Pride even harder because of this. Never give in to hate.

I'm sure there was a reason for it in the past; whether it was a good reason I cannot say, as I can't find out what it was.

I'm sure there are aikido masters who could hyperextend a tendon as easily as this video implies, but I don't think Segal is one of them. Everything after that is indeed the participant willingly engaging in a safe fall (typically a roll) so they don't get hurt. And even those masters would probably say, if your aikido philosophy has failed and hands are being thrown, don't keep trying to use aikido; use something more practical to minimize the harm done on all sides.

So Nolan cast one of the most beautiful women in the world to play one of the most beautiful women in the world... and ... *checks notes* ... a guy is upset by that.

....... I hate this timeline.

Confidence is more beautiful than any make-up or outfit.

Correct. The third choice is, in fact: kill as many dragons as possible and die a hero being villified by the remaining dragons.

Until he is no more. Until he has ceased to be. Kicked the bucket, shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

Just think of how many US taxpayer dollars are going to go into keeping his body plugged in.

A lot of people use masculine pronouns in reference to mixed-gendered or even female groups of people; I use "dude" regardless of who I'm talking to, and I frequently hear cis-het girls use "hey guys" when referring to their cis-het female friend group. So it might not be intentional. However, if it is triggering, speak up! The people who care about you will take that to heart and take steps to help you live a better life <3

No matter what happens, he'll never be found guilty of any wrongdoing; the Republicans are going to marionette his corpse around for decades to come (Reagan's corpse is starting to smell bad), and the majority of Democrats are too afraid to alienate the other side of the aisle by even so much as condemning him.

That would be like celebrating Hitler's death every year. No, just once will be enough, then we need to move on and fix this shit.

Exactly. Fae rules. The object itself is worthless; the act of exchange and the concept of "ownership" mean everything.

Not to mention, the ultra-religious South was perfectly fine squaring Christianity with slave-ownership. I appreciate that this guy is speaking more in line with Christ, but he is very, very far from speaking in line with most Christians.

And that, in turn, came from 'hamme' meaning "bend, angle" (possibly for the bend of the river Elbe that it's built on) and 'burg' meaning "castle" or "city". But the word "etymology" has too many letters for Joe Rogan so his confusion is understandable.
