have you ever considered retiring from existence?

Incredible reporting, thank you.

I would point out that this practice continued in Appalachia until the late 60s when the last states finally outlawed scrip. Walmart and others have also tried to reintroduce the practice by paying employees in company gift cards, which are technically bound to US currency and thus exists in a legal grey area. I think…

philip baker hall in secret honor is a relatively forgotten but phenomenal movie and performance. just nixon, a recorder, a bottle of whiskey, and a handgun, directed by robert altman.

I’ve never written for Kotaku but I would be open to taking a small fee to put out a couple freelance posts to annoy easily-annoyed people.

Awful twitter account that doesn’t really understand what makes shots great or interesting beyond the most surface-level detail. Will be matched by Ava Duverney, whose work is mostly just decent. Selma was pretty good and When They See Us was solid, if overhyped. 

your brain is a ball of cookie dough that’s been sitting in the sun for too long, mr. dunning-kruger

lol the guy with experience that the state chose instead is a sexual harassing moron who is also insanely evil and hid covid deaths in nursing homes while writing a book about how good his leadership of covid was. to be extremely clear, there is zero way anyone would do worse. “experience” in politics is hilarious,…

if you faved this your brain is pudding, sorry. lot of people at every job i’ve worked at think they’re being paid fairly and it has quite literally never been the case. if i say that it’s not an insult to their intelligence it is a comment on how people are compensated for their labor. i still work at a job where i’m…

Yes because “authoritarianism” as the be-all end-all of political discourse is completely useless. The US has the largest military budget in the world, the largest prison population in the world, has supported tons of brutal dictators, regularly overthrows democratically elected governments, had and probably still has…

No, you don’t need to own the IP to mint the NFT, but if you try to sell it there are indeed laws around making money off of someone else’s IP - that part is regulated even if existing law doesn’t mention NFTs by name. Additionally, someone could mint the exact same image on the same blockchain because, again, the…

EPs actually have a lot more say than that, unfortunately. It’s his contacts and connections that will get writing and directing gigs, he will likely have to approve the script, his production people will be involved, etc. etc. Doesn’t mean something good or weird different can’t sneak through that, but if you’re…

In case you’re wondering why there’s a staffing shortage of nurses and people are frustrated, please watch this ICU nurse talk about his experiences during the pandemic:

Honestly I kind of miss Trump. He made it way easier to talk about things that matter and all of the evil stuff this country does, nobody wants to touch it now that Democrats are in power.

It rules that Cuba has had a lung cancer vaccine/immunotherapy for nearly a decade and the FDA has been dragging their feet for the past six years. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in America, even during COVID times, and almost a quarter of cancer deaths are due to lung cancer. But lung cancer only kills…

i’ve worked in tech for quite a long time and while it’s not unheard of for people to move around it’s extremely difficult. more often than not QA engineers and testers have moved on to other careers, especially in the video game sector, before any kind of vertical promotion is available to them. this is also true in…

the real win will be when more programs are able to and take advantage of custom shortcuts. i can attach peripheral keyboards and even half keyboards like the razer tartarus, but if i can’t program custom photoshop/procreate shortcuts into them it’s kinda useless. but ipad has come a long long way.

most communists would support paying more for goods that last a long time and are produced by people who are paid fairly. cheap, fast fashion is cheap and fast because the people who make it are underpaid and the materials used are produced with little care for the environment.

Great write-up. I wish I liked Johnson more but he’s one-note in a way that a lot of directors don’t seem to know how to use, like the late 90s early 00s Arnold films. Unfortunately he’s also never had a string of stone-cold classics like Arnold did, and his most iconic role in the Fast franchise has him as a…

in the country i live in they’ve realized cloth masks don’t do a ton to stop the spread and they’ve shifted to mandating n95 masks because they do a lot more. america rocks, so sad i don’t live there anymore, a country where even the political party every well-meaning person tries to convince you gives a shit will…
