I would get letters from my grandma - long, winding beseeching me to come to the Lord or whatever, with often a specific date predicted in the near future of the end times. I never kept them because I was embarrassed. She was lonely and mentally ill, and probably trying to manipulate people into visiting her, but she also believed the shit she was saying, even though it kept changing, IMO.

I think that’s a little bit of what is going on with these signs

Genital options!

Best guess is It’s something about circumcised versus non? Because that’s important

Nah it’s not a joke and you’re not a mildly scandalous stand-up comic. You think a joke is two unlikely words juxtaposed in a controversial way.

There’s no “singling out” NYT. I don’t even have to explain that. And I’m not equipped to provide sources, but NYT has been unreasonably sympathetic to Trump’s rambling. They’ve also published some wild exposes of his tax frauds and silly criminal dalliances.

Pedophilia is rare. Stranger danger is just weird dudes and busybodies. I mean, protect your kids, and protect them from the loonies who want to control your family.

People who want to hurt children are not limited to one political group or religious or social whatever. They’re fucked up.

That post is vague and meaningless. Remember the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

So, Trump acknowledged in his own weird way, both Biden and Harris called him to be “nice” following the second assassination attempt. This phrasing is all super weird. It’s only a story because Trump acknowledged it I public at all.

Yeah it’s strange. I don’t know how long it will take for AI to be surreptitious, less obvious, but it’s weird and scary.

Big budget studios love to just remake old content. They hate original ideas. So they should go back to fantastic games like Morrowind and Daggerfall and Skyrim and make them less annoying, prettier, hey put all the old stuff into the Skyrim framework, at least! Shame no one had thought of that.

(Skywind, I think, and Skyblivion?)

Ok they weren’t all racist. Racism is the basic premise for Lovecraft for sure.

The circumstances of this photo are obviously bizarre and uncomfortable, and fuck fascism and fuck war, but smoking hot is smoking hot.

Vise grip hasn’t been oiled since my dad told me to do it thirty years ago. Ah! All those metrics are starving!

This cat with the PC running around unfettered. Scaring all the cats and dogs.

If it exists, you wouldn’t see it, because it would be proprietary. It probably does exist, but it’s useless.

While this is technically correct, it still doesn’t matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I’m not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7

There’s obviously a zillion open source games you could add, but I’m partial to pixel dungeon and its many variants

Lmao friend, you probably did well to say nothing and not participate. But please don’t forget: you got good ideas

I have been to Springfield, Oh. I delivered heavy equipment to the city administrators. The place has no drama.

As a kid I just wanted to read weird old shit. LOTR, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, you can guess where this is going. I still can’t let go of my childhood Lovecraft nightmares. I am aware most of that is stupid and racist and misguided. But strip that hateful garbage out, you still have a lot

Addendum I f’d up and didn’t mention my adoration for Ursula K. Leguin

Even better: get homeless; log in from shelter WiFi. Actually from experience, it doesn’t matter. You are a consumer. Being homeless doesn’t exclude you from the marketplace. I got a free “obamaphone” while in a shelter. That shit is infested with popups.
