why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj
What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.
if only the UK would be the socialist heaven it yearns to be, he would have gotten off with a slap on the wrist...

it is not a well-made movie, no surprise, but it well-made enough and the parts that count go hard and pulls no punches
quora please stop emailing me
Celibate...?
a bit of inspiration from John Waters.
uncanny
he got a lot of things wrong, but this seems to be spot on...
nah, it is not the politicians that make muslim rape-gangs or make blacks commit a magnitude more crime on average
The answer to "How did these Ancient People do this????" is basically always
1. A lot of dudes. Just a ton of fucking people from beginning to end of the process.
2. Ancient people weren't stupid, they just figured shit out the same way we do: fuck around until you find out.
3. We're gonna plan this out and it's gonna take ten fucking years, and you will cope.
4. Sticks and string are surprisingly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, like moving stuff and making sure things are even and go in the spot you wanted to put them in!
5. I want to make this easier and more efficient to move. If I put this on the round thing and push, it will move. If I put this in water, it will move. If I get some animals and rope and have a whole bunch of them drag it, it will move. All of these things are a better option than one guy trying to pick the whole fucking thing up.

"The king said to do it"
History does not record the stupid megaprojects that failed
History absolutely does record the stupid megaprojects that failed. Here are just a few of them:
Fidenae Stadium Disaster of 27AD. A huge gladitorial stadium, built fast and cheap, collapsed and killed 20,000 people, as well as injuring many more out of the total audience of 50,000.
The Sagrada Familia was started in 1882. It is still not finished.
Mingun Pahtodawgyi was started in 1790 but a prophecy said the king who commissioned it would die when it was finished, so he stopped building it.
The Pyramid of Neferefre was never finished because Neferefre died early and his successor didn't bother.
Alai Minar was supposed to be twice the diameter and twice the height of Qutb Minar. Didn't get past the first storey, abandoned in 1316.
Bara Kaman, abandoned in 1672.
The Basilica of San Petronio was started in 1390. The main facade was never finished. In 1514, they hired a guy to construct the dome, but the pope ordered the "megalomaniac dream" halted.
Arguably every empire that has ever fallen counts as a stupid megaproject that failed.
>Arguably every empire that has ever fallen
Inshallah the United States joins the list soon.
Fingers crossed on it being the softest landing yet.
I like to imagine that in like 2000 years when we have space colonies in other solar systems and shit, that people will look at the ruins of like the Empire state building and go 'how did those primitive Americans who couldnt even travel to other planets manage to build that?'
literally the guys who took us to space, lol
you retards here all wish for the its downfall, like
Anything that presumably come after to fill its geopolitical position would not be far worse as things stand now and in general.
Anything that would have replaced it before now, would not have brought forth a significantly worse timeline.
It is not the best iteration of a global hegemon we got so far and by a colossal margin.
Both of these can be true.
Misplaced empathy leads to opening your borders to rapine beasts that ruin the future of your children.
It signals the death of empathy for your own people, your very own children.
There is a thing called toxic empathy. Take care of your own house before you handle another.
Are we still peddling this quote taken wildly out of context?
While Musk said he believes in empathy and that “you should care about other people,” he also thinks it’s destroying society. “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.” Empathy, he said, has been “weaponized.”
He's not saying empathy itself is wrong, he's saying people can abuse it. He also said it's complicated.
Ironically, OP misquote is often deployed to demonize Musk himself and decrease empathy for him.
I find it ironic that this fact --- as well as others -- NEVER come into light from the "fReE pALeStiNe" goons when they're talking about Gaza or other places Palestinians tried to take over. Why is that?
The "Free Palestine" crowd amplifies certain narratives while ignoring others that don't fit the framing of Israel as the sole villain. This resonates in culture-war where identity politics and selective outrage are frequent targets.
The whole "Free Palestine" bag is nothing more than performative activism. The left and woke right clinch their teeth in selective outrage over Israel. Their movement focuses heavily on criticizing Israel but ignores (or doesn't care about) certain existential challenges facing Jews / Israelis.
If the "FrEe PaLEstInE" movement was genuinely concerned with human rights, civilian protection, or opposing "butchering" of innocents, they would acknowledge these well-documented pre-1948 massacres (and there's a lot of them) by Arab / Palestinian actors against Jews.
Instead, the protester's focus is one-sided: intense outrage at Israeli actions, but historical (and sometimes ongoing) violence by the Palestinian side is ignored, downplayed, or justified and even celebrated, which in turn, fuels the "selective outrage" critique. This low-brow activism is driven more by opposition to Jewish self-determination / Israel than consistent humanitarian principles.
wow, look at this not doing the rounds on 85% female, extreme left leaning tumblr!
They were actually turning the frogs female. Female hormones from birth control-pill runoff and certain plastics were turning male frogs female, because unlike amniotes, sequential hermaphroditism is a thing for amphibians and fish.
it was also causing horrific mutations and cancer amongst other things and the company got away with it too, but at least everyone got a good laugh at Alex Jones
I don't remember seeing this quote before, even though I've read all Orwell's essays and a lot of his reviews, but I looked into it and it checks out. He was writing it during the Nazi Germany/Soviet Union pact begun in 1939 - the rest of the passage goes on to say
"The two régimes, having started from opposite ends, are rapidly evolving towards the same system — a form of oligarchical collectivism. And at the moment, as Dr Borkenau points out, it is Germany that is moving towards Russia, rather than the other way about. It is therefore nonsense to talk about Germany ‘going Bolshevik’ if Hitler falls. Germany is going Bolshevik because of Hitler and not in spite of him.”
