- Comment on my mom using her hot trophy wife charisma to get women for my dad to fuck: 2 weeks ago:
That's the best horse name ever! Definitely not something i expected to see while browsing a three day old non-monogamy shitpost.
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 2 weeks ago:
It just won't happen. Our institutions are weak and very subject to outside influence. Everyone in the world can see it.
If our corrupt oligarchs allow an election, the next president will still have to deal with their financial power, the private electronic surveillance state they control, their overwheming control of our very corrupt court system, etc.
If the dems were interested in fixing the problem it would take focused effort over multiple terms. The dems are not interested in fixing the problem. This is just who we are as a nation-state.
- Comment on Should I tell my dad that his mistake almost cost me a fortune? 2 weeks ago:
I find that being made aware of my mistakes helps me be more diligent in the future, so i'd want to know.

Tabletop rpg design uses the term "fail gracefully" to describe being able to still function when you forget the rules.
Older games used to regularly stop amd collapse into boring chart-reading and index-looking-up. A lot of modern games are entirely playable if you forget everything except the core mechanic.
- Comment on Miss me 3 weeks ago:
I always describe gambling as non-alcoholic vodka.
It just does nothing for me and leaves an awful taste in my mouth.
- Comment on Are there any good protest songs from the past few years? 3 weeks ago:
Billy bragg has a great song about the twin cities. It's a spin on that "first they came for" poem, but instead of the "and i said nothing because..." bit it has "so I got in their face!"
- Comment on this fat fuck getting McDonald's door dash at work 3 weeks ago:
It's not real. A delivery person wouldn't get to the door of the oval office. And almost certainly an aide grabs the bag, though the fast food delivery obsessions is partly about security paranoia, so maybe he is paranoid enough to grab the bag.
- Comment on We tested a transport app that cost the public £4m against Google Maps 2 months ago:
Open source defeces projects do sounds pretty shit.
- Comment on 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2 months ago:
I have several very important quibbles with this shitpost.
Why does the maga hat say ice? If it's an ice agent why is the mask still exposing most of his face, and if it's just a maga dude, why is it wearing a mask like fauci-loving sheeple? How is the tongue coming out of the mask? If it's an ice agent, why he is licking a boot - they literally are the jackboot.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 2 months ago:
It sounds like you're giving too much credence to what mysogynists and incels say on the internet.

Are you sure? The users post history goes back 2 months and doesn't show any.

Fascinating! I've really enjoyed your posts today. Keep the hits coming!

Woo, grasses! Let's hear it for C4 photosynthesis! 🎉
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 3 months ago:
30% of US adults voted for trump.
Decades of gerrymandering, voter suppression, disinfo campaigns and no small amount of outright fraud brought the current regime to power, not the will of american people.
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 3 months ago:
Because trump is largely irrelevant.
His job is distraction-in-chief. He's just a dumb patsy - a role he's spent his life perfecting.
His business career was just laundrering russian mob money, and his political career is just drawing fire from the rich cabal looting the american empire before there's nothing left to loot.

Jate isn't a name.
- Comment on Coprolites 3 months ago:
Coprolite makes a great insult. I'm sure we can all think of some prominent fossilized turds.
Of course real coprolites are wealth of information and a welcome find, unlikely the fucking coprolites who seized control of the US.
- Comment on Grippy handles too. Luxury. 4 months ago:
Bono was briefly into these.
That's right, U2 grew a shrew loo.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 4 months ago:
Back in the 60s, Phil Ochs described a liberal as "10 degrees to the left of center in good times and 10 degrees to the right if it affects them personally".
I agree that most people understand it to mean anyone left of center, but the meaning of a weak or disingenuous leftist who often sides with the enemies of the left goes back a while.
- Comment on better? 4 months ago:
When people don't like the present, they almost always assume the past was better. When people are broadly happy with the way things are, they argue the past was worse.
Our take on the past almost always says more about our take on the present rather than anything true about the past.
- Comment on It's just not something I could ever get behind 4 months ago:
Wait so you would rather have shallot bread than garlic bread?
Shallot > onion is just common sense, but let's not go dragging garlic into a fight it has no part in.
- Comment on Gamers Are Overwhelmingly Negative About Gen AI in Video Games, but Attitudes Vary by Gender, Age, and Gaming Motivations. 4 months ago:
My understanding is they only generated some textures, which everyone noticed and complained about, so they had to patch in human-created textures to replace them.
They also lost a goty award because they lied about having never used ai.
I don't think either of those situations would encourage hidden use of ai.

Yep! It's called primary endosymbosis and it's one of the coolest things around! (I think.) The endpoint of a process where two parts of symbiotic relationship morph into an organ in an organism.
The first case of primary endosymbosis resulted in the mitochondria and thus all multicellar life. That's pretty cool.
Another time created the chloroplast and thus all plantlife. Again, yay for primary endosymbiosis!
A few years ago scientists discovered that it happened really recently, resulting in an organism with a "nitroplast" for in house nitrogen fixing. So in the far distant future there could be an entirely novel branch of life, potentially as different from what we know as redwoods are from cats.

Mitochondria are so much more than that!
They have the ability to kill the cell as well as provide power, they can communicate and transfer resources to other mitochondria, and they might be one of the reasons that organisms need sleep.
I heard a science communicator suggest that in some senses, we might just exist to serve the needs of our mitochondria.

She's depicted here with dark hair, she's just wearing a yellow headdress.

There's a great story in i think the pseudepigrapha, where child jesus is playing with his friends and gets upset and turns one of his friends into a pillar of salt and mary comes and yells at him to turn the kid back.
- Comment on Publisher reveals and immediately cancels new Postal game after fans accuse it of using AI generation 5 months ago:
Multiple genres of games are about doing mass killings for fun.
You know that bit when you get bored playing some open world game, go around killing everyone, then reload? Postal is That: The Game. Just without the reloading.
Or that was how i thought about postal 1&2.
- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 5 months ago:
North and south are fundementally different, climate and biosphere -wise, so i don't think it would ever make sense to people to modify the same word to describe two very different things. East and west maybe less so, but dawn and dusk are pretty important differences.
Some polynesian cultures use two main direction words, which usually translate as something like mountain-ward and beach-ward.
- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 5 months ago:
You gotta say "nor-nor-east" instead, that's a blast.

This was just a top notch meme. Informative and a very clever arrested developement reference.
