Just when you think these people can’t get any dumber...

the billionaire investor who accurately predicted (and bet against) the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007

Corporate America is built on the philosophy of squeezing every last drop of blood from every stone in sight, deserved, legal, or otherwise. Paying ‘more’ for anything is antithetical to that.

When forest fires were never a serious problem before, why would they practice expensive, labor-intensive prevention and mitigation measures? Not that you’re wrong, because mitigation efforts would have helped, but it really *IS* a climate change problem, straight up and down. It created this situation where the…

Don’t forget — same assholes: “Pro-life, because all life is precious!”

That’s the least Walmart — and the involved employees thereof — deserve.

Everything the Republicans throw at her ultimately boils down to, “OMG SHE’S NOT WHITE AND SHE’S NOT A MAN! WTF?! AMERICA BEING DESTROYED!!”

And frankly, calling them ‘incels’ is a bad joke. As if they’re not choosing to be raging pieces of toxic garbage that nobody wants to be with or around. That makes their social life 100% their choice, ie voluntary, ie the opposite of *involuntary*.

I thought I was completely losing it, because that is exactly what came to mind when I saw the graphics. I just couldn’t quite place which Dragon Warrior game was the right fit.

This is what happens when greedy motherfuckers put their own whims and wants over the needs of others. The real estate ‘industry’ is a social blight that should have been annihilated at least a century ago. Rent seeking is a perversion of civilization, and shouldn’t be tolerated in any way, shape, or form. But because…

As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m willing to give it a shot. I think SR4 hit peak zaniness, at which point, the only way forward is to start from the beginning (ie reboot) and follow a similar path of escalating craziness. Each sequel in the SR series was crazier than the last, after all.

They gave up the justification of blaming the public for our climate catastrophe over half a century ago when they started waging disinformation warfare on the public to keep them in the dark and confused about the damage fossil fuels were causing. Everything after that was 100% THEIR fault. They chose to put their…

American capitalism is best capitalism money can buy!

*ahem*

If only the people who came to the conclusion that ‘vaccines are bad’ did so by way of reason, logic, or facts, because then you could apply logic, reason, or facts to get them to change their minds. Unfortunately, they came to it by way of group-think, echo-chamber stupidity, for which no amount of logic, reason, or…

Agents of Mayhem says, “Hi.”

Exactly. If I want to play a clone of GTA, I’ll go play GTA. It’s like the folks developing SR now don’t actually know why SR was successful.

It’s hard to watch the news without being pissed that they’re not calling this kind of hands-off racism what it is — racism. “But we’re not doing it. We’re not racist!” Yeah, but you’re not calling it out either. That’s just as bad. A lie of omission is still being dishonest.

It’s still a country of deeply divided (racist) mentalities. Mainstream media is geared towards white people, because it’s largely staffed, owned (this one especially), and run by white people providing ‘content’ for an audience that is assumed to be similarly mostly white. By white people, for white people. Because,…

It’s strange...I was just wondering earlier today, thanks to SR’s reboot video bringing all things SR to mind, how Mike was doing, and when the inevitable announcement would come, given his terminal diagnosis. I didn’t expect the answer to be “Today.” Now I am sad.
