Also applies to "AI" "artists" and "musicians."

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been

Okay I know that Nick Cage is the Internet’s favorite movie lunatic but we really need to talk about Sam Neill

Like, sure, he’s more simmery-crazy than explody-face crazy but this motherfucker kook it up with the best of them.

Like, if all you know him from is Jurassic Park, just take the SIX INCH RETRACTABLE CLAW scene, multiply it by a thousand, and you get the rest of his career.

Motherfucker was in a movie with Isabelle Adjani (The Queen of the movie lunatics) where she contorts herself into a miscarriage that makes her bleed from the ears and gives birth to a demon-fetus-doppelganger-monster and held his own.

He was scarier than any of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park…

Then there is this shit:

(Seriously, if you ever feel like watching the Omen series, you can skip Omen II and just go to Omen III because Sam motherfucking Neill. If you really have to know about Omen II — there is a bowl cut and some birds. That’s about it.)

The guy makes Malcolm McDowell look like Morgan Freeman.

(I just love how fucking pleased with himself he is)

In conclusion Sam Neill is an underrated mad genius thank you for coming to my TED talk.

RIP, Sam. You were truly among the greats and I hope no one forgets it.

Bet you're taking a victory lap over Platner now.

I really should. He was exactly who he presented himself as - a violent, hateful person whose remorse was yet one more lie. We said it constantly, and everytime we were told to sit down and shut up. Well, you got what you wanted. Your little gremlin finally broke under the weight of scandal. Forgive me for not shedding a tear for the lying little assnugget.

But honestly? This is exhausting. There's no achadwnfraude watching people fall over themselves simply to embrace the shittiest assholes on the planet. The conclusion I'm coming to, that is just fucking depressing, is that fundamentally, populists in America these days don't actually want to better the country - they just want to inflict misery on those they see as lesser. They'd burn the house down as long as the flames on the other side were slightly hotter.

It's really sad that this is the only input legitimacy in politics these days are outsiders with massive psychological damage.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

Well, if Maine picks Jackson they actually get a guy that A) has legislative experience, and B) is who Platner pretended to be, namely that he grew up working class and worked his way up and got involved in politics when he saw loggers (he's a 5th generation logger) being poorly treated. He was who I wanted to run in the first place, guy has a good story and legislative experience under his belt.

Forgive me for not shedding a tear for the lying little assnugget.

Yeah, it's hard to be sad for people that backed him after all the shit that came out. I won't deny that when he announced his candidacy I was supporting him (if only because someone finally was willing to jump in and challenge Collins). To my shame I even dismissed the Reddit comments, under the poor rationale that people say stupid stuff on the internet that we can regret, but the moment the Nazi tattoo was revealed I was out. Not only is it horrible to have a Totenkopf tattoo, but to say you didn't know what it was for over a decade? That's just a flat out lie.

After seeing his withdrawal statement, all I can say is holy hell the entitlement. This is a man without remorse, who can barely contain his anger at getting caught and despises that he is, for once in his life, not allowed to just skate away from the consequences of his actions.

For all his carping about how "Washington should remain in Washington" and that the party elites shouldn't interfere, he himself was a creation of Katz and Moraff, unaccountable (and unelected) party strategists. They picked Platner because he was a DSA-adjacent politician that didn't look like and sound he just fell out of second-year undergraduate sociology class. He was picked because they believed he would win back working class voters that have fled to the populist right. But as the scandals broke, Platner's support among that demographic plummeted - even before this, he was either neck-and-neck or underwater against Collins in that polling. The only group going for him were progressives, which he was never in danger of losing.

Maybe Katz and Moraff should have done a little bit of basic vetting. They rushed the process because they wanted to ensure that they could get progressive nominations early and secure momentum; they didn't even conduct a candidate interview! Maybe if they had asked a woman who knew him, then the garbage fire of his candidacy would have been apparent at first blush. But no, clearly Moraff and Katz simply had greater intellects than us mere mortals who sympathized with the women that Platner abused.

Also, people go on reddit all the time without spewing racist shit. Can people stop using "lol, reddit" to excuse racism?

Ya'll remember how online games made specifically for children were programmed in a way that made it practically impossible to share your personal info?

When age, gender, location was censured like profanity in the name of protecting kids?

But suddenly the Only Way to keep children safe online is to make sure that they have 0 privacy?

Yeah ok. Sure. For the children.

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

The only ways to make the deletion stick are to disable Chrome's Al features through chrome://flags or enterprise policy tooling that home users do not generally have, or to uninstall Chrome entirely

...

Adding the file took zero clicks. Removing it requires (a) discovering the file exists, (b) understanding what it is, (c) navigating into a hidden user profile path, (d) deleting it (and on Windows, also clearing the read-only attribute first), and (e) accepting that Chrome will silently re-download it on next eligible window unless the user also navigates chrome://flags, enterprise policy, or platform-specific configuration tooling to disable the underlying Chrome Al feature. None of those steps is documented in the place a normal user looks - none of them is even hinted at in default Chrome.

Vimes and Sybil from the Discworld series. I love the hell out of these two, the true Powercouple of my heart

lhoandbehold

This drawing makes the round sometimes but it is also sooo old, so here’s the 2022 vs 2018 version

[Image description: Digital gray tone sketch. The characters Sybil Ramkin and Samuel Vimes from the Discworld series are standing close together, looking at one another lovingly. Vimes, a stocky man with a receding hairline and a 5'oclock shadow holds a cigar. His night watch armour has a visible beergut, and his clothes and boots are old and tattered. Sybil towers over him, resting one arm on his shoulder. She’s wearing a plain dress and a worn apron. On her screen right arm, a small derpy dragon is perched. End ID]
