Yes, just historically.

At least he didn’t punch anyone this time.

And that’s how his handlers want him.

I will never remember his name. He will always be The Bean Guy to me.

I once swore infront a bunch of other adults in a non-work, but professional and someone stopped me to point it out. I paused, looked around for any kids and when I didn’t see any, pointed out it was fine. They were on the conservative side, but I’m not bending at the knee for that shit.

Must have slipped through the cracks.

Yeah. Found the source. There’s a lot of other Onion-esque satire science papers on it. Unfortunately, they also use AI images.

The only one I give a shit about is pets, but all the others are good reasons to avoid other human beings.
It gets weird when gossips try telling you about their neighborhood and don’t understand why you’re uninterested.
- Comment on Mercedes and BMW, eternal rivals on a race once again - this time to the bottom. 1 week ago:
They look like every other SUV on the market. These things are designed by commity and focus groups.
- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 1 week ago:
Dimpled chads and the Brooks Brothers riots. The Jingoism that followed 9/11 masked the turn things would be taking.
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 1 week ago:
I don’t really attach myself to things with vague meanings anymore. I dropped Dilbert out of boredom long before Scott Adams really went mask off, but it’s a good example of people putting their own meanings to vague media. I’m just explaining why people here might like a comic without knowing it’s origin.
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 1 week ago:
It’s vague enough that people can insert their own meaning into it. Could be Trans issues, could be gymbro stuff, could be manosphere shit.
- Comment on Fall of Western civilization 2 weeks ago:
Fast Food use to be cheap and marketed to kids. The food itself never changed, but now it’s expensive and marketed to adults.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
Paw Patrol is a regular length cartoon with a real, albeit basic, plot. I’m talking Cocomelon or Five Finger Family or other short form shit.
I don’t know a toddler parent that has the time to download a curated media library for their kids
No. Curating what your child consumes, both dietary and cultural, is the basic requirement raising a child. It takes very little tech skills to download files and load them on a device. Even just an old school portable dvd player and a disc wallet is preferable. The point isn’t to cut all media, but to cut the short form shit the drains attention. Even a show with a plot that takes ~22 minute to get to the end teaches some degree of patience.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
So don’t give a tablet then. Or if you do, don’t have Apps like that. Get an wifi only android tablet, install VLC and specific shows and games. Real games and real shows. Not short form shit or bs mobile “games”.

Nah
- Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone 2 weeks ago:
Mistakes were made along the way.
- Comment on Over 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard have unionized 2 weeks ago:
Most of those devs are probably freelancers or from hired studios doing esoteric work. It’s still crazy to see these numbers when most of the games I play are indie and have tiny credit listings. 450 people could make at least ten of the games I play.
- Comment on Uhm 3 weeks ago:
It got poisoned by Omegaverse. I guess Supernatural was good for something.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 3 weeks ago:
That doesn’t happen often enough or with the urgency that requires Microsoft to push an individual update. Actually, I’m perfectly fine with not actually having my town listed and only being able to give Microsoft a city that’s an hour away from me.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 3 weeks ago:
Developing country or not, major cities don’t just change names without major conflicts anymore.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 3 weeks ago:
I was going to ask what major cities have changed names, but we are on the brink of WWIII.
- Comment on Pandering to conservative Americans 3 weeks ago:
If I was a troll, I’d start putting the weird ones on like Jeremiah 10:1-4 or Deuteronomy 22:9.
- Comment on It Turns Out, Steam’s Adult Content Ban Has Been Plotted For A Year And Is Spearheaded By One Of Project 2025’s Leading Voices 3 weeks ago:
Here’s something. No way of knowing which games they’ll go after next.
- Comment on It Turns Out, Steam’s Adult Content Ban Has Been Plotted For A Year And Is Spearheaded By One Of Project 2025’s Leading Voices 3 weeks ago:
They were always going to go after every 18+ game and then every queer game under the guise that it’s corrupting to youth. The fact that you’re confused about that is part of their plan.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 4 weeks ago:
God forbid Superman ever get involved in politics, like Smashing the KKK or warning kids about landmines.
And you can have more then one plot device in a movie. I’m actually tankful that the whole “defined by choices, not by birth” wasn’t the only plot line because I’ve seen that one countless times by now. “Kindness is punk” is a counter cultural idea by now and was refreshing to see.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 4 weeks ago:
That was the explicit messaging of the movie. The scene with Superman not understanding why some people might have an issue with him saving lives, to him convincing the other Heroes to throw realpolitik to the side to do the same, to Lex completely not understanding altruism. It wasn’t just wedged in. It’s was the whole point of the movie.

This isn’t a worth while message.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, but I feel like if you’re going to be that way, maybe bring your own instead of making your partner buy new ones.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 4 weeks ago:
I know she makes her boy friends buy new sex toys cause instead of reusing one from previous partners. Honestly, anyone who would actually get with her deserves everything.
