“little worm”

“deserve whatever vitriol that comes their way”

This is exactly the kind of toxicity that people are talking about. The lack of self-awareness is astounding.

The game absolutely has problems and their decision to call things “legacy features” is confounding, but to say that they deserve what they get from…

“At its core, the game honors the work of dedicated law enforcement officers across the world and in no way intends on glorifying cowardly criminal acts.”

Is there an editorial policy covering how links are used in stories? The first link is on the word convicted, which I would expect to lead to story about the verdict in this trial. It leads to a Jezebel piece from two months ago from before the trial’s start. The second link - “grifter renaissance” - leads to an…

Up-and-coming games journalist Jason Schreier reports

“As a very smart person who knows lots of things, let me tell you about how smart I am and how many things I know. I am very smart about things that you are not smart about, but no, I will not explain how the smart things I know are actually smart or useful, you’ll just have to trust me about how smart I am.”

So Tesla delivered ~500K vehicles this year, and their latest recall is for ~477K vehicles. Knowing this is spread out over production years, that is a still a massive hit, essentially eliminating a years worth of production over a recall.

Pretty sure the only thing that is going to make some people happy is if they define a planet as the “things I was taught were planets when I was ten”.

“For those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples.”

Ugh.

Ya, it boggles my mind that the Democratic strategy is still “court middle-of-the-road people” as if there are any of those left at this point.

Get ready for a bunch of comments about how nobody gets handouts for their credit card debt as if it is a reasonable argument for leaving people in crippling debt that only helps lenders because they made the choice to want to learn and get a good job. 

Among the many ways this is such a cruel, unforced error, is that they aren’t even trying to negotiate the debt cancellation. It seems, from a read through Twitter, that plenty of people would find it acceptable if they eliminated the interest/lowered the interest on the loans.

I just stopped by to say that there shouldn’t be any interest charged on government backed student loans. Not now, not ever again. If we can’t have debt free university (like a civilized country) right away, the least we can do is only require students to pay down the principle. This would help a lot of people who are…

Biden was never going to forgive any student loans. That was all made up bullshit. This is the guy who made it so you can’t discharge student loans in bankruptcy. In 2024, the Republican candidate won’t do it either. So nothing will happen with student loans for the next 7 years at least.

They don’t want to be in power, just in office. Being in power is the nightmare scenario for a lot of Democrats. They have to work and make changes, and risk ticking off donors if they do. They don’t want to do that. The goal of most Democrat officials is to sit in an office, be given money, and when asked to do…

Yes, all. There should be no place for that kind of inflexibility in a justice system.

I don’t think #4 is really relevant when even those families apparently agree that 110 years isn’t warranted.

Mandatory minimum laws are obscene in all instances.

It’s hard to chose between if I rear end that semi with my semi I’m likely to die vs if I choose to hit those smaller vehicles I’m much less likely to die, but I’m not so sure they won’t.  And choosing to die because you deserve death, and choosing to die because you’re brakes failed are also factors.  And having to…

He does have some responsibility here.  but on the closing his eyes part, there is a point in time where there are no good outcomes (the trolley problem) if a, b, and c, are all terrible, maybe having any of those images also flashed in your brain is not going to be great either.
