Got it. Cool.

When I saw this originally I was already coming down from someone else in my circles saying probably exactly what you had in the meme, but without the critical thinking part. Like a kind of "she never said she had great genes, she said her eyes were blue! Suck it liberal! Facts>feelings!" Your commentary makes sense, but the meme was exactly, like I am pretty sure close to verbatim what they had said in defense of the ad. So in seeing the meme I was ready for war.

    It's not better. Thats pretty terrible. It sounds like you and I agree that Sweeney was making a full-throated endorsement for white supremacy. And, to be clear, we agree that's bad. So what's the angle posting a meme saying "she never said that" when the quote can be easily attributed to her?

    I recently played Hi Fi Rush, and walking into the first boss and hearing the song choice got me so hyped. I was chasing that high for the rest of the game. The whole soundtrack really felt catered for me, specifically, but that one NIN track in that moment got me more pumped than anything else.

    I found this somewhat recently. It is basically a list of job boards. You can give it a job title and it will perform a search for that position in the chosen job board posted in the last 24 hours.

    There's still LinkedIn, which could allow you to connect with the job poster to follow up after applying, which could be good.

    Magicka and Magicka 2 were so much fun when I had roommates. It's not nearly as fun when the other players are not sitting on the couch next to you. Plus, my friends these days don't enjoy randomly blowing up from a spell gone awry, which, you know, is the funniest part.

    Thanks for the clarification. I guess while skimming the article I mistook that distinction.

    Certainly doesn't change that we are cooked, but I guess it helps to think that the States aren't completely craven during this dark age.

    So NYC's judiciary says corruption is OK if you help to extra-judicially ship people off to concentration camps?

    This country is garbage. It's done. The pillars have collapsed.

    After promising to bring down egg prices, this asshole's actions have made grocery bills worse, and his supporters want you to believe he had nothing to do with it. It was an act of God, not some monster wearing human skin hamstringing federal agencies that could mitigate disease or natural disasters.

    And i wonder what happened in 2024 that drove people away from that service. For me, what I think of, is that time they refused to take responsibility for someone that died as a result of lies and negligence at a restaurant on their property, referred to an arbitration clause buried in the terms of service in an unrelated product only agreed to as part of a long-expired product trial.

    All of that would have convinced me to cancel service.

    Also, interesting timing, just this morning I received an email from Disney doubling down on arbitration, while also announcing an increase in ad presence for their "ad free" service tiers. I have never been subscribed to Disney+, though, and I can be sure I never will with that trajectory. I'm glad they can remind me constantly to never agree to use their services.
