  Nope, Corey is out of the house now too.

  Yeah, it’s only been the last 30-40 years that we’ve been falling down the same rabbit hole that places like OK or AL have.

  Pretty much exactly this. You stick useless people in these important roles so they can’t get enough traction to try for your chair, but you also want people who are at least smart enough to do whatever you tell them to do. Patel is actually a smart pick, he;s just too dumb to know how to push around actual field agents and only knows how to push around analysts and media

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No no no! I don’t know who started this fucking thing, Cincinnati chili has never contained cocoa. I literally live here, and I’ve heard it from tons of transplants and natives alike. No chili parlor here uses it, no recipes I’ve seen use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also the fact that there’s an enormous machine of conservative think tanks and funding groups and PACs and corporations that will fight every and any change tooth and nail. The obvious ones like abolishing ICE? They’re an enormous source of revenue for dozens of companies, from tech to defense, not to mention that private prison companies are running the concentration camps. They’d need to be ready to effectively run things as a true dictator in order to get anything done, because large portions of the economic sphere have been retooled to rely on things continuing the way they are.

  The SAM episode was a little meh, personally, but I like that they’re dealing with the shorter season format and still doing episodes based around each character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nice horsie! 🐎⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC a few African groups have legends of people trying to tame zebras as long term mounts or livestock, and these legends rarely end well for the attempter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JD Vance visits Milan, Italy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like father, like son. Part of why Trump eats so shitty is the same fear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure, Jan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also doesn’t help that they apparently gave a bunch of half-truths to every other artist on the card (like Shinedown), and potentially just added some names they thought they could dial last-minute (Ludacris).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Without carrying out any actual hacking, simply by logging in with an arbitrary Google account"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For a certain type of parent, no. They see immorality and demons behind every planter and think every other person in the world is out to snatch their kid. I definitely had classmates in my school days who were not afforded any privacy at all - diaries couldn’t be locked, journals were read through, any electronic records got read and gone over, etc.

  Unsurprisingly, a large number of these people have grown up to be intensely private in their personal lives, and it’s incredibly difficult to pick the mask apart from the person even if you’re incredibly close. They won’t share any thought because their own thoughts were the only privacy they could have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The National Basketball Players Association says it stands with Minnesota protesters: 'NBA players can no longer remain silent'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Keep in mind this is NOT the actual NBA, this is the player’s union. Still a huge thing, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨u WoT m8⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This. They need some form of actual income, and ad revenue gives them theoretical capital to loan against.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you also thought of the idea that maybe she’s masking some of those symptoms around you? A lot of the language in your post seems judgmental, if just ignorant. It could be she’s willing and able to internalize those symptoms around you or other people in order to make her life easier - lots of us do it around family because a LOT of parents wind up coming out of the gate sounding like you, and it’s easier to just go “look I’m fine” rather than have to justify our diagnosis constantly.

  Autism, especially what used to be considered “high functioning” autism like Asperger’s, isn’t always a “constant” feeling of these symptoms anymore than an average schizoaffective person or someone with BPD or someone with bipolar is constantly experiencing their own symptoms. You have good days, you have bad days, and you have triggers and sometimes you can nut up even on the bad days and go to work or school or whatever. Autistic people aren’t constantly Rainman-ing their way through life, or constantly reenacting Sheldon from Big Bang Theory or whatever your popular conception is.

  You’re already saying “she’s mostly not off”, so why is it so hard to believe that she has this disorder, or that it’s hard to take the next step and say “huh, she says that the medicine really helps and makes it easier for her, so I’ll believe her on that.”. I understand wanting the best and worrying about things like chemical dependency, but her doctor should be - and almost certainly IS - monitoring for this at regular checkups.

  Honestly, I can see that. A lot of suicides are spur-of-the-moment, and the more a person has to actively work at it, the less likely they are to actually follow through on the attempt. Even just those couple seconds of working at it to get a whole box of blister packs open could be enough for a lot of people to stop, think, and say “actually wait”.

  He had to be in it because they filmed in his hotel. Imagine Paris Hilton wanting to be in a film because part of the movie is shot in a Hilton. It wasn’t enough that everything in that hotel is labeled “Trump”, he had to show up and have a speaking role because otherwise you might forget who the hotel belongs to.

  God I miss Wind Waker. Still waiting for that HD remaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOLO⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile Ball⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

  This is why you do not put bits you would like to keep attached anywhere near a powered rotating spindle.

  Can’t look too Old, because then your audience might not take you seriously. Mid-20s at BEST, unless you can look Old And Erudite, in which case you might be able to pull off mid-40s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"enjoy the show"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, early antifascists kinda sucked too. It didn’t help that the leader of the SA was openly gay, so a lot of antifascists latched onto that as an attack and a rallying cry.

  People are gored by bison at Yellowstone every year. When I visited a few years ago, the rangers were actively having to tell people to avoid an elk who, with his harem, had decided to hang out in Fort Yellowstone for a couple days. People are dumb, or don’t think “wow that’s a 600+ lb animal the size of a minivan”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Holy shiiiiit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is that Dwyer did it on live television, in a highly publicized press statement. Cameras didn’t cut away.

  I was about to say, just from the few BD toys I can identify, that’s an easy $4-600 depending on size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even into the later series, people had to fight to do interesting things with it. IIRC the network was skittish about Voyager because nobody would possibly be interested in a scifi show with a female lead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically it’s a cipher, BUT it’s also perfectly constructed to work as a language (by making the cipher easier - vowels only get replaced with vowels, consonants with consonants).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a real language, it’s just German spoken by a person with a head injury /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s xAI joins race to build ‘world models’ to power video games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From what we’ve seen of him playing Path of Exile, basically, yeah. As expected from most rich assholes, he wants the prestige of being good at a game, but wants to shortcut the whole part in between where you’re not good YET.

  They weren’t making bombs, apparently they manufactured explosive filler for 155mm artillery shells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More specifically, the story has to MEAN nothing. It has to curve REALLY CLOSE to interesting ideas and statements only to swerve away just before they actually make you think about a thing.
