It's worse, all their best candidates for high office are likely directly or indirectly implicated as well. An entire generation of the wealthiest, most influential and well-connected elites turning out to be the worst scum to draw breath is going to utterly destroy the US as a functioning society.

Looking at Twitter today was an entertaining mistake. It was like watching a nuclear reactor melt down in slow motion with everything going on. Monday is going to be rough as guts.

You're going to love the Materia system. It's still one of my favourite aspects of the original game. Also, look up the old cheats & workarounds that do things like give Barrett 7777 damage per attack. Be prepared to sink 60+ hours into it though. It's a behemoth.

I haven't played magic the gathering in 20 years and have only a vague idea of who these guys are, but imagining a fanfic with this cast as the bad guys makes me smile. One helluva doomstack for the heroes to try & tackle for sure.

Man, you have to go back 90-100 years to get the really good stuff. Some of the funniest, raunchiest tunes ever recorded come from that slice of 1920-1950s era music and they weren't shy of addressing the dark stuff either. It's how Fallout remained enduringly popular as a series beside the mods.

A lot of teenagers that became adults during the Covid pandemic became used to going online for all their needs. To them, shopping being fun is a relatively abstract concept because they weren't old enough to appreciate an IRL experience tailored to fit their tastes before online shopping dominated.

This happened around three months ago and will have a deleterious effect on the US military. Techbros in the US armed forces is a recipe for disaster-both for the army, who now has to put up with an untrained force pushing around its soldiers and for the techbros, who're now subject to military law.

It's the kind of chart that indicates someone switched the cocaine out for LSD. This euphoria's about to turn into the mother of all bad financial trips.

It can be summed up as "We need everybody to spend money on AI or the bubble bursts and takes the whole share market with it." They're desperately trying to monetize what they have while it's nowhere near ready for general adoption in an effort to stay ahead of their margin calls.

They've been told to from the top. A lot of media giants want this to go away because it's raising issues regarding their on-the-ground reporting standards i.e. if they even have any at this point. It also doesn't help that the Trump admin is banking on this being a foreign policy victory for them.

He's playing the same game Condoleeza Rice was playing during the early days of the Patriot Act, when Americans were first coming to grips with the idea their government could secretly kidnap and hold them forever for so much as looking like they could potentially be part of Al Qaeda in the future.

Nope. The world cup's going to tank and the Olympics won't fare any better. The billions spent on all that will be the final nail in the coffin for the US tourism industry.

Involving the military in public affairs is where the saying 'crossing the Rubicon' comes from. This has the potential to go way, way beyond the standard fuck around & find out formula.

I think that that's what they're aiming for at this point. Freezing all this shit in its tracks and laying down some ground rules so that things stop going sideways for five bloody minutes is absolutely necessary to get at least some order to the chaos underway.

You would be surprised how well that actually holds up. "If we don't know what we're doing, the enemy sure as hell won't either." Is, after all, a saying that's commonly associated with the US military. It probably doesn't help that this organised effort they're targeting doesn't exist yet either.

This is the fourth time the story has changed. What exactly are they trying to obfuscate here?

The great thing about infighting incompetent morons is that they don't keep secrets for very long, so I fully expect this whole thing to be turned into a musical.

When it comes out that this traces straight back to the far right, will they try burying it?

Well, gutting the FBI and putting a Cosplayer at the helm of every major US intelligence agency just in time for an assassin to take out a potential future colleague while the whole domestic intelligence system is in chaos might explain that one. Malice and incompetence are twins in many ways.

Don't worry, you are. You lot have endured far worse and come out the other side swinging for the fences. This is the third or fourth time in US history that the country has been in the state it's in now and you made it through every time. Have faith in yourselves and you'll eventually prevail.

If this actually helps topple Trump administration, I might just forgive Bloomberg for being dicks for abusing the DMCA and copystriking Gamer's Nexus out of petty spite. I mean it's not likely, but still...

Because the journos know the answer, probably kicked it up the chain for some funding to pursue the story, only to get told no by the people who know the answer personally, visited the answer in person and have had the answer blackmail them into going along with the answer's presidential campaign.

So it seems that World War 3 might start in the next 72 hours, the UK is a basket case and the US is basically a dumpster fire until the much anticipated obituary finally drops and things start really kicking off. Please stay safe out there.

First saw this meme back in the 2010's. It sure has aged like fine Wine. I really wish it hadn't.

Let's just hope that's the date and not the price for a copy of the game.

That's not age, that's wisdom. Equipment safety ratings can mean the difference between life, death and a soufflé covered in soft lead. Always know what your tools are categorically not meant to do ever, if only so you have a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon when the cops aren't around.

2000s: "The internet is a series of tubes!" 2025: "AI turns electricity into intelligence!" Deeply flawed and unserious misunderstandings of how tech works will continue to entertain us for centuries.

Actually, if you compare Lukashenko's Belarus to Vichy France you get some, uh, interesting parralels. Would be surprised if the Russians weren't 'drafting' Belarusians to work the factories, mines and other places too dirty and dangerous for the Russians to want to touch.

Just a little thing I would like to point out here: insurance companies are all about risk mitigation. The less risks their clients take, the less money they have to spend. So a health insurer not encouraging vaccination implies that they weren't plan on supporting you if you got sick anyway.

Isn't half the state made up of wet lowlands with hot & humid conditions virtually year-round and aging sanitation/plumbing infrastructure? Sounds like a breeding ground and launching point for tropical diseases to me.

To be fair, you're about the only point of reference that bothers with explaining fashion trends in business, supply chain and historical contexts. Everyone else is basically a dolt in heavy makeup going 'muh Versace', you actually educate us in why fashion's actually interesting with facts and fun
