  What makes this an inherently (DNC) democratic message, though? Are democrats the only ones allowed to be critical of the MAGAsphere?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deal with it, Libby.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re reading too much into it. It’s just a meme about how people can be tricked into thinking that enriching others who keep them poverty is “winning”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think I can rub this one out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah definitely a trick of the light, that part that curves suddenly catches the reflection of the sky in a way that makes it seem almost translucent.

  Stronghold Crusader is a 24-year-old game.

  If anyone happened to play this game at launch in their teens or onwards, they are at an age where they need to start have conversations with their doctor about screening for health concerns that come with senescence. Colonoscopy/prostate exam/mammography/etc.

  The photo is cropped below the window, you’re only seeing the door panel. No part of the window is visible.

  The Korean text is literally the English words “Egg in Hell” rendered in Hangul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tech never works for long⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention the companion app itself is scraping telemetry data:

  • What phone you use

  • What network it’s connected to

  • What times you use your phone

  • Approximate location

  • A list of other apps you have installed

  And that’s all before we get into the nitty gritty of how the user actually engages with the app content, or other device permissions the app might request. Maybe “Location” for recommending preheat times based on distance, maybe “Camera” to check doneness, maybe “Nearby devices” to pair with first-party accessories, or maybe “Photos and video” for some shoehorned social media component.

  They can ask for any permission for ostensibly innocuous/justified reasons, but once those permissions are granted, they have full access to that data to do whatever else they want with it. They’ll know who you are, where you are, when you’re there, what you’re doing there, and who else you’re with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's free real estate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once made a computer factory that was essentially a large floating octahedron. It had a condensed feed of materials coming in from one point in the bottom and a few drone ports to bring in other completed parts around the middle. I didn’t plan for it, but just started building stages wider as I went taller until I noticed subsequent stages required less space, after which I started going in reverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's free real estate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My latest challenge mode in that game is to try and develop infrastructure while destroying as little of the natural environment as possible.

  This has led to building a number of offshore plants, but the difficulty is having to still run materials to them before unlocking drones to do it for me.

  Whenever I have to build in the interior, I’ve tried to focus on building tall instead of wide so that it doesn’t take up much land space. But that does cause the horizon to become cluttered with a few industrial spires.

  I can’t help but have to destroy some of the environment to get early biofuel power going, but I focus on finding as many crash sites as I can early on to skip to coal as quickly as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I might shit my pants just a little if I saw this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Mighty kinda ya” would not be out of place where I live, no. A dated expression as a whole, maybe, but spoken with a casual flow, that’s how it comes out.

  I suppose one could also write it as “kind o’ ya” but “kind o’” is what is being truncated into “kinda”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I might shit my pants just a little if I saw this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  kinda is just another way to say “kind of”

  “How kind (nice) of you” and “My kind (sort) of people” are both appropriate uses of “kinda”. I hear it used more for the latter than the former, to be honest.

  Also, it’s casual language anyways, so why even try to bring grammar into it, much less while being so confidently wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America | Thirteen thousand miles. Infinite contenders. One beautiful loaf.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok this is honestly an amazing read. I’ve had too much circus in my life, not enough bread apparently.

  Somehow, the enslavers returned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds to me like you definitely time traveled and somehow obtained VHS copies of It Part 1 and It Part 2 from 2017 and 2019, respectively. It’s okay, things get weird down where things float.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was even his intention?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen the jokes about the Epstein resemblance, I guess I may have just been out of the loop on the possibility that the Epstein version of the image was an intentional edit.

  I’ve seen mostly that version being shared, even by MAGA degens, so I had assumed it originated from within. Kinda takes part of the fun out of it, if that was not the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was that movie Stephen King’s It, by any chance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wake up sheeple⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had the displeasure of knowing several people like this. In the post-truth landscape we find ourselves, there are really people out there who will call your denial of their alternative facts “unscientific” because they think that science is just about questioning everything, and they know their perspective is the right one.

  Therefore, when their high school science teacher (who obviously hated them in particular for their good Christian beliefs) insists on ideas like the Earth being round, or the existence of climate change or—heavens forbid—evolution, she’s obviously just trying to brainwash her students to believe her liberal agenda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was even his intention?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assumed the Epstein resemblance was accidental (well, maybe not for the unpaid intern that generated it, but for everyone else) give that that’s the version I’ve seen shared more by the MAGA crowd. Like the other person above, I had no idea there was a wider (original?) version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The forbidden fourth leche⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tres leches is milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk.

  The only “cuatro leches” I’ve seen was topped with dulce de leche as a sort of tongue-in-cheek extra milk, but this doesn’t seem to be that. Unless it’s under the cream, maybe?

  Wow they literally had AI redraw it to different proportions, too, it’s not just a crop. There are different visual elements, like the building in the background in front of the flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great at gaming? US air traffic control wants you to apply⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What, so I can be underpaid to do the most stressful and undersupported job ever, with the chance that the next political controversy may force me to go weeks or months without pay, and then feel the guilt of killing several hundred people if I screw up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Got it, so we can only confront our opponents man(kind)-to-man(kind).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn’t even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between “man” as singular and “mankind” as collective should provide all of the context needed.

  If I describe a scene of a story as “man goes to work,” no one assumes I’m talking about the collective of humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We talking in terms of percentage used or number of varieties?

  Pastafarianism probably has the highest ratio of silly hat wearers per adherent, but only a few varieties to my knowledge (colanders and pirate hats/bandanas).
