NGL adidas, being one of two companies that were started by essentially heirs to the dude who got rich designing and manufacturing the nazi boots, then later saying “ol antisemitic yeezy isn’t that bad right?” for hopes of more money… is admittedly a really bad look.
thanks margot!
i really appreciate you taking the time out of your normally-busy schedule to just be in the river of shit with the rest of us. really makes us feel like our trudge work is worth some respect.
loved you in barbie, btw.
jesus fuck i cannot wait for these old bags to fucking croak and take their outdated logic with them.
aaaaahahahahahahaha that bitch can get fucked for all hundred k of it.
unfortunately that works up until a point. past a certain point of engrained expectations and ubiquitous adoption by a majority of society, it no longer works.
google has gotten to that point.
google needs to be broken up, regardless, for the people not smart enough to adapt to using another search engine.
and guess what: if google gets broken up, a lot more people also won’t use google anymore, and then you get your wish!
and also yes
i legitimately laughed at this comment rofl
nail on the head
that is a special kind of stupid.
they should have had him sign a waiver saying the coast guard didn’t need to watch out for him, and then send him on his way, godspeed.
trust me, the human gene pool could desperately use it.
as you can see this man is wearing a mask and all those tattoos prove that he is a uh… *checks notes* …government plant. a “fed” as they say.
bethesda announces game concept.
people freak.
bethesda announces game. 
people hype.
bethesda starts hyping the game.
people go fucking nuts hyping the game as a result. their social media team plants those seeds to make it look organic.
a year or more of speculation occurs.
todd howard being his little schmuck self comes out and boasts about their new game.
people lose their god damn minds.
whispers of shitty gameplay start occurring closer to launch.
the masses tell those people to fuck off how could they know, dishonest review etc etc.
the big names in game reviews all review it and give it out of the park amazing reviews.
people go batshit crazy. people are out in the streets killing their parents for a chance at the new bethesda god game.
the game is released and is somewhat playable but jesus fuck is it lacking, it’s buggy, and every character looks like they’ve been updated from skyrim graphics of yore. the story sucks. the game play is empty but goddamn is there a lot to explore.
everyone rushes in like a madman.
everyone realizes the gameplay sucks.
people start bitching.
others say “oh don’t worry, DLC and user created mods will fill the game out nicely.”
years pass.
the unpaid modding community pours their heart and soul into making the game not fucking suck.
after all the DLC has come out (all with mostly positive or mixed reviews on steam) the game will go dark for a year or so.
todd howard wakes from his capitalist vampire coma needing fresh life force. the blood money of his unsuspecting idiot fans.
todd howard makes it into the office and says we could make a new game or we can milk this game for the next decade and a half. quick come up with names to rerelease the game under. game of the year edition. complete edition. master edition. elite edition. remastered. remastered complete. anything works!
over the course of the next three decades, todd howard is fed the blood of bethesda’s fan base.
he is swollen, like a fat tick upon his harkonen throne, waiting to burst.
“the people. they call for a NEW game”, he says, a devilish sneer contorts his face.
and the cycle continues.
and these fucking idiots. every goddamn time.
let’s see them argue this for copying and further altering other people’s styles manually.
you know, what we call “art”.
you telling me all those people that thought “oh wow that artist’s method of using long curving lines is awesome, im going to try that too.” are somehow different than the act of visually scraping everything and then telling ai to create X in the styles of Y and Z?
sorry, but no.
if it is someone copying someone’s exact style and the acting as though the artist made it, that’s where it’s crossing a line. personally i think doing a carbon copy of a persons work is grounds for legal complaint.
but this shit? no.
cool. let’s just get a list of all the republican congressman and senators that will surely vote yes on this.
it’s not a dictatorship, thank god, and half the country’s leadership is against it and won’t vote for its legalization at this point in time.
so go ahead. get that list of republicans. because they also have a lot of the deciding power. the president is one man on one side of the isle.
this is a way of changing that slowly and surely.
so while yea they should legalize it federally, with the current fuckwads on the right fucking things up for everyone, full legalization isn’t in the books yet. if you don’t see that, then there’s no getting through to you and have a nice day.
under schedule 3 it’ll be easier to obtain than adderal.
i know the young folks think it should be an all or nothing solution but the truth is the country as a whole rarely moves that way with so many contending views.
this is how you change those views against it, by removing the demonization over time in phases.
this gives time for the private prison systems and big pharma and big alcohol/tobacco to get their ducks in a row for the changes that will surely arrive.
when the people who believe that it is the worst drug ever see what a difference in perception can do as the government no longer demonizes it, that’s when it’ll be fully legalized.
shit sucks but with over half the country filled with fucking idiots, you really need to be able to crawl before you can walk or even run. this is a step in the right direction and i’ve been around long enough to see what a fucking foot in the legal door this is.
AMD needs to hurry the fuck up and catch up in the AI game
i’ll try my damnedest. i got stubbornness and spite and hope all working overtime
oh there are lots of ways.
unfortunately a lot of the time, it doesn’t get any easier.
that being said, it all starts with knowing and understanding that, if you love who you are, those mistakes helped make you who you are.
personally that helped me come to peace with the fact that i had fucked up so badly.
next is atonement to yourself and others. that means learning to prevent the mistake from occurring again in the future, helping others that you recognize are making the same mistake so that they don’t have to suffer like you did, and if you hurt someone, apologizing to that person for both their and your own healings sake. sometimes it also means apologizing to yourself.
you do have to understand, though, that people change over time. our mistakes make us who we are. and you are not the same person you were when you originally made the mistake.
last and most unpleasant advice i can give is to allow the feelings to wash over you. our brain is capable of experiencing so many emotions, and each emotion serves a very important purpose. we tend to lead lives that shy away from the unpleasant emotions, but there is value to be had in experiencing them. feeling the shame of making a mistake can drive you to never make that mistake again. that’s valuable, even if it is unpleasant for a time.

it gets better bro.

eh DHCP isn’t really important right? obviously if it hasn’t changed since the 80’s why would you need to reboot your server.
what are vulnerabilities?
i’ll spell it out really slow like for ya if it’ll help.
israel’s treatment of the palestinian people is that of an ethnic cleansing.
they are removing their heritage sites.
flooding their farmlands during winter so they’re fucked in the spring.
constantly boxing in all palestinians that live in any of the palestinian territories that still exist.
shooting palestinian women, children
shooting journalists and medics that choose to help or report on the situation.
bulldozing their land and homes to make room for new israeli settlers that will happily steal that land from the palestinians.
responding with disproportionate force after palestinians are goaded into defending themselves. one molotov should not equal days of missile strikes.
they have consistently “accidentally” targeted school buildings and hospitals for missile strikes during disproportionate responses.
basically all of these actions amount to ethnic cleansing, which is a facet of genocide.
israel’s M.O. is to act like nazi lite, then when the world takes notice and outrage occurs, they back off. during that time, they lobby the US government and pull strings and make threats.
and if you criticize israel at all for their behavior on the world stage? well then you’re just a fucking antisemite, and they’ll be quick to call it that.
they spend some of the most money of any world government using social media teams to protect their country’s interests.
you’re looking at smarter nazis with better PR and lots of money.
