- Comment on Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump 3 days ago:
The word “fascism” had been used a lot in regards to Trump - not because it’s a go-to insult, but because Trump is meeting every characteristic of the word.
Per Wikipedia:
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
- Dictatorial/autocratic: Issues a flood of executive orders and works through Elon to exercise singular executive power with zero regard for Constitutionality and separation of powers.
- Militarism: Threatens land grabs/annexations of Canada, Greenland, Panama, Gaza
- Forcible suppression of opposition: Lawsuits/investigations/threats against media companies that say things that hurt his feelings
- Belief in a natural social hierarchy: lifelong history of public racist and misogynistic comments
- Subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race: suppression of transgenderism, everything DOGE is shredding, abolition of CFPB, OSHA, etc.
- Strong regimentation of society and the economy: extreme censorship, immediate blame of disasters on DEI (even if only white, cisgender, qualified men were involved see DC airliner/heli crash), tariffs (and threats thereof), intent on destroying the renewable energy sector and forcing fossil fuels

Hey Dipshit Donny, you’ve already illegally cancelled all foreign aid. You’ve played your hand and your threat is now empty.

I had “while being an adulterous piece of shit” in my comment draft, but when I went to fact check, all I could find was stuff about his wife maybe or maybe not cheating on him. Those Google results are skewed…
- Comment on Uncanny sandwich 2 weeks ago:
I like the fact that he’s chosen to go with “moral barometer” in more than one interview. Consistently moronic.
- Comment on Uncanny sandwich 2 weeks ago:
Is it because he recommended women leave their atheist partners because of a lack of moral barometer? Or saying gay men aren’t real men? Or saying real men don’t have female friends? Is it because he’s a homophobic, misogynist, religious bigot? Or for the Miss Universe fuckup?

People-shaped holes appear in the face of the mountain and people are psychologically drawn toward specific holes that match their own silhouette. The victims are unable to retreat once they’re in a hole, and progressing forward disfigures them.

- Comment on I like the determinism of Murphy’s Razor 4 weeks ago:
The meme creator absolutely butchered the vanilla version of Schrodinger’s cat. It’s not that the box contains either a live or dead cat and the observer is unaware of which it is, it’s that the cat in the box exists simultaneously in a state of being dead as well as being alive.

Regarding item 7, Batman Returns had Christopher Walken’s character illegally dumping toxic waste, so yeah, there’s at least one known case.

Can’t speak for OP, but I took a maybe ten-year hiatus from Minecraft and came back to find the were so baby more block types that it clogged my inventory and I felt overwhelmed and just stopped playing again.

Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don’t receive any political texts, mostly Imagejust fake USPS scams.

- Comment on Thieves caught stealing political yard signs 3 months ago:
Air Tags have a battery and have short-range low-energy communication with phones. What makes them work out-of-range of your phone is that their signal can be picked up by any phone that participates in Apple’s tracking network. Say your luggage has an Air Tag in it, and it ended up flying to a different city than you. Your phone obviously can’t find the Air Tag because it’s out of range, but someone in that other city is bound to have an iPhone. Their phone sees the signal from your Air Tag and reports that location back to Apple’s servers. Apple updates the last known location of that tag. You check your phone to see where your luggage is and your phone requests that info from Apple’s servers. Apple sends your phone that data, and now you can see your luggage ended up in Timbuktu while you’re in Seattle or wherever.

This doesn’t make sense to me. The iris doesn’t collect light for vision. The pupil expands or contracts to vary the amount of light that reaches the retina. Iris color should have nothing to do with it.
