Am I being wooshed? It’s impossible to get a flush with the two spades. Or the Aces.

I blame all the satire.

It didn’t just go over their heads, they took it as truth and ran with it.

American here. Maybe I’m going through the five stages of grief and now I’m at acceptance.

Everything in your first paragraph sounds accurate and maybe something that probably needed to happen. America as the World Police is/has been a problem. There were some positives, but a lot of negatives.

The sooner America gets off the stage, the better. We don’t deserve the recognition. We can’t even feed our own people and yet wield tremendous influence internationally, and maybe it’s a positive thing that it ends soon.

I didn’t know that! You keep sharing the hits! Keep it coming!

That’s crazy that they made this hypothesis based on a steam game

Can confirm.

I haven’t purchased a game at a GameStop in decades. But I’ll never forget the time a cashier was getting yelled at by a shitty teenager because the teenager felt conned having preordered a JRPG thinking it was a First-Person Shooter, and the teenager was throwing empty game boxes around calling the cashier all sorts of 2000’s era offensive names.

I don’t understand the full story but I think about it often.

Why? Maybe the mom shouldn’t be buying her kids things she doesn’t understand.

Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, making it literally impossible for him, even telepathically, to say that quote.

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Kid doesn’t deserve cod

All th AI bots making posts aren’t helping with growth?

If you’re using Dropbox in 2025, you may already have all of your private data shared with somebody.

They “say” they don’t feed it to AI. But Dropbox is bleeding money since 2018 and at some point, will be sold to the highest bidder and from that point, you might as well just store your data on somebody’s random website.

Members tend not do their own research and only live to complain about the existence of it.

But then

lets me know to look for certain things on the article before I enter so I know if I should take it with a grain of salt or not.

You are talking about yourself in the first sentence.

(The Machines will remember that.)

I was at a bar a while back and the talk stuck with me. He was a Israeli who moved to America about twenty years ago and still visits Israel to see his family.

He said, “Americans have to stop seeing America as being #1 at anything.” We talked about Israel and Palestine, we talked about the current White House bs, and afterwards, I finally understood what he was saying, especially with the lens of him being an Israeli.

America is America. It’s a place that exists. The rest of the world has a lot better everything. It’s like living in a small backwater town: You know it’s shit, and it wont magically become something it’s not, especially if the Mayor and the Sheriff are inbred hicks who bang each other’s sister wives. Maybe you grow your nestegg until you can move. Or maybe you carve out a piece of the shit hole. But know that it’s a shit hole.

That’s America. Just keep milking because the lunatics are out of their cage.

Not trying to yuck someone’s yum, but what are the perks for youtube premium?

It does put you in a false state sometimes and it’s good to know multiple perspectives.

I invited these new guys out to go drinking. And my god, the level of ignorance and “uh I don’t really understand politics” followed by a strong appreciation for Elon Musk.

Yeah last time I’m drinking with those guys.

Come on, just because the CEO endorsed a Trump candidate using the company social media? Then backpedalled after the backlash? And then sent emails about how Proton is totally agnostic about politics and how the CEO is a Asian immigrant so surely they can’t support Trump?

Playing games in relationships to the next level!

She didn’t say you create a stressful situation. She said “it” increases stress levels. It’s US against the problem.

That’s a keeper right there.
