This is the most charitable way of seeing it for them, honestly.

I think many of them don't actually have any interest in even incremental 'progress', at least not any more than it is incidental to their goal of gaining and retaining electoral power.

They abandon their 'progress' as soon as it becomes an electoral liability, and scold and police voters in their 'tent' for bringing up those issues when it isn't to the party's advantage. Anyone with moral or ethical principles (and are vocal about them) in the democratic voter base is liable to be pushed out as soon as it's no longer convenient to support their interests.

But have you considered that after Trump waved out a McDonald's drive thru window they had an EColi outbreak, so now he's associated with a poop virus?

Checkmate, tankie

Maybe it's because I'm Minnesotan but I am just tickled by the way he says 'dipshit'

Wasn't he doing a stream targeting the twitch ceo and feigning outrage that Hasan hasn't been banned yet today?

That guy is completely lost his fucking mind

Honest question: how much would such a lawsuit rely on the definition of antisemitism, and how much of an issue is it that the US congress has been making a specific push to include anti-zionism in the definition of antisemitism?

I honestly kinda doubt our justice system would give them a fair definition right now.....

The tweet featured at 0:46 certainly sets the tone for that video, fucking hell.

edit: still watching through shaun's video, but of course the nazi was previously banned from twitter and is now (presumably) let back on under Melon's ownership

The whole thing was so staged, I guess any job would have looked too easy.

Mike Row is a piece of shit, but at least Dirty Jobs made it look like he was suffering just a little bit.

The manager/shift lead should have yelled at him for literally anything.

If you're not being demeaned by your boss or the customers, you're not really getting the true food-service job experience

Just the title. I've been pulling some crazy all-nighters and I'm absolutely exhausted, and I'm remembering a time when I could comfortably say "fuck off" without any mixed feelings. Now I feel some perverse responsibility to kill myself for our project and I kind of hate myself for it.

I'm embarrassed by the number of award-winning games I have unfinished on my hard drive, but every time I fire them up I think "i'm not enjoying this".

Am I doing it wrong? Should I be mainlining my ADHD meds before trying to play?

My ADHD demands a low-level background stimulation in order for me to focus, so I will listen to audiobooks as I work, and oh-boy did my book interrupt my focus today.

I'm only halfway through so I don't think it could be considered a spoiler, but:

!spoiler spoiler there's a part where one of the characters is unexpectedly stabbed by a tentacle while studying a seemingly harmless alien species (not the kind of shokushu zeme i'm into personally) and is infected with a foreign organic organism. The guy almost dies from it, but they discover that the organism found a way into his brain and has literally replaced his corpus callosum. The next chapter from his perspective slowly starts replacing first-person pronouns with 'we' and 'us', and then he has a tense confrontation with his crew member that end with him/them sticking a syringe through his tear duct and into his brain, and attempting to inject the crew mate with the parasite!<

There's no reason for me to share this except it has clearly disturbed me and when I tried telling my partner about it they weren't thrilled with my trauma dump.

I guess let this be a warning about this book: the first one of the series is pretty chill but this one really sneaks up to you with the body horror.

My curiosity is pulling me back in wish me luck


Edit: oh my god it gets worse, but it's over now

Carry on
