weirdly i feel like that sort thing is easier to find now than it was in like 2010-2015

you seem like a real piece of shit

shocked to learn a guy with an israeli flag in his profile picture is in favour of putting brown kids in torture cages

another Arthur Erickson banger

hilarious how you can tell it knows it's supposed to be written words but still just sprinkles in a bunch of totally malformed characters that don't even really resemble real letters

not the point here, but i will never in my life pay any mind whatsoever to the opinions of someone who uses the term "double-click" in this manner. absolute loser shit.

that's a lane. they're called laneway houses, not alleyway houses.

baby's first mod (installing a fender eliminator) went smoothly. these things are sure easier to work on than 40 year old sports cars.

i feel the same way. like i'm way too old to ever watch twitch content but the dude is very obviously a net positive.

A good day to remind people that, around 2000 or so, Edward Said began routinely telling journalists and editors in his interviews that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory was now the longest in modern world history, after having surpassed the Japanese occupation of Korea.

lmao this guy rules

LGM!

setting these up in your bedroom for streaming and accidentally microwaving yourself

pretty sure it's Tom Homan, the guy who replaced Bovino

Absolutely insane numbers on data center buildout. I haven’t vetted these by they’re about right based on memory/back of the envelope.

do a kickflip

some of the insane libertarian horseshit you'll hear fall out of the mouth of some lifelong shop steward standing next to you on a picket line would cause half of this website to make one of those notes app screenshot posts

to put this another way: real, shared struggle for collective material gain makes these petty third-order grievances largely vanish, and it is easy to see who has and who hasn't spent time engaging in that sort of collective activity

if the biggest thing you have to complain about is how exactly someone who substantively agrees with you is discussing a thing you care about, it is time to reckon with the fact that you probably don't have any real skin in the game.

you see people on this website (and to some extent in real life) who have let themselves become so aggrieved about vibes, ephemera, tone, etc. that they've rendered themselves allergic to solidarity (giving and receiving)

he was so real for this

I would happily trade our soccer team in a fake league no one cares about for an MLB team 🤷‍♂️

wait what are the youths using this to mean now? to me getting chopped means losing a drag race lol

i'm so glad they've mostly realized that these secret lairs look 100x better when the text, mana symbols, etc. look like an actual magic card. these are sick.

as someone who found that Geese record to be boring as shit, it's heartening to know it was all astroturf and no one else really liked it either lol

incredibly boring and nondescript band, seemed obvious there was something at play in the hype levels they were getting that had nothing to do with the music they make

i promise you're not missing anything of value lol

very normal way for a 54 year old to dress

yeah this seems like the main schism in this discourse around this. all the econ wonk types are insisting that people are just wrong about their own lives because of media diet or misinfo or whatever, while working people are responding "maybe you're just measuring the wrong metrics."

is this really a mystery to people? NYC is one of the most popular travel destinations on the planet, and buying a Yankee cap while you're there is like buying a souvenir t-shirt with a buffalo on it while visiting Yellowstone. they don't give a shit about baseball or even know who the Yankees are.
