It’s just typical of the rise of fascism in the US. “Capitalism has failed, the corporations are getting away with crimes, all the cis het white men in charge are grifters and frauds, so what do we do? Blame The Jews, The Gays, The Blacks, Women, and Socialists!” The rational response is of course to not blame any of…

Typical US car company: Invest @$5 billion and 4 years to develop a new car, release it, turns out it’s great, gains rave reviews, people buy it, it shatters the market-share of its main competitor, so what does upper management do? Cancel it after a 6-year run... so they can spend another @$5 billion on a newer car…

I’m still not clear on how the Pinkertons gained access to the inside of his house. I get that they’re probably large, intimidating, armed men, shouting about jail time and gigantic fines, holding some kind of piece of paper they claim gives them access, but could he not just slam the door, call the cops, and tell…

And she’ll still be in office at least until January 5, 2025. Maybe the DNC shouldn’t be giving their money to DINOs like Sin Enema and Man Chin and dinosaurs like Biden, Feinstein, and Pelosi.

They are not satisfied with just killing us; they demand we die quietly.

airlines in the news for being terrible at the basic operation of a company, so hot right now

It does not matter what is going on in the brain, mental illness or otherwise, when the problem is what is going on in the lungs because of a cop’s knee, while a half-dozen other cops look on and do nothing. If they can’t arrest people without killing them then what exactly is their job?

There’s always money to be made being the token minority.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The easiest and most straightforward and fairest way to nerf the MkII is just make it handle like a mini helicopter, which is what it is. I still have no idea why R* decided to make it a super special vehicle that handles in a completely unrealistic and unique way. It should…

Except his voice is annoying. I don’t understand what compels people with annoying voices and/or speech impediments to decide to start a Tube career, but they do.

The extremely Protestant attitude among the casual white supremacist is that non-white people don’t pay taxes, aren’t productive members of society, and thus of course they commit crimes to support themselves, so they deserve to be hassled by the cops, whereas white people are productive and pay taxes and have no…

The more shockingly unfit for office the Republican, the more shameful it is for the DNC to lose an election to them. Turns out his district was one of the most highly competitive in the nation until a Republican gerrymandering redrew the lines. That’s not libel, that’s a court verdict. The map was ordered revised,…

It used to be that anthro students and even professors considered it an unsolved mystery as to what really happened on Easter Island. They reasoned that no one would continue to chop down trees as it became obvious they were running out of trees. As I gaze at these non-electric, non-fuel cell vehicles the US…

The courts have ruled cops have no duty to protect.

A Mitsubishi Eclipse just so the cops think they can outrun this entry-level bullshit only to find this idiot got a custom shop to put $30,000 into the engine and now gets 500 hp per piston. Can outrun the police helicopter in that thing once you get on the highway. Disappear into one of the infinite wildfires of…

Lawyers don’t care whether or not a suit has merit, they care only that people sue. The more conflict, and the more intractable the conflict, the more they profit. Sounds like they’re taking advantage of a grieving family to bilk them out of their inheritance.

It used to be the lower the security status of a system, the more risk and the more reward. Now that fundamental economic game mechanic is gone. People can’t live in deep null anymore; they would have logistics tails stretching half the length of the galaxy in a game already full of people camping the jump gates for…

It’s been known for a century that rich black people are worse than rich white people, and yet the capitalist “solution” to black issues has always been more black landlords, more black sweatshop owners. The problem here is obviously not race, it is capital.

Nothing motivates a person to do horrible things like thinking they’re saving the fucking world. Look at the 20th century socialists. Now look at Elon getting Trump to coup Bolivia for fucking lithium because he can’t be arsed to use hydrogen fuel cells.

White fragility is a weapon.
