They’re shit cars. Let’s please stop pretending they aren’t. The build quality is abhorrent.

Yes, they had the cool factor for a while, and yes, I feel sorry for (some of) those who got caught up in something they didn’t want to be caught up in. But also, the writing has been on the wall a long time, and build quality issues have been public knowledge for about as long.

You get what you pay for.

Have these people not considered that God’s will is to have faith-based programming on its own private streaming service?

Titanic is better if you interpret it differently:

Jack never existed. He was a coping mechanism for Rose to get away from crippling depression and self harm.

The whole movie can be interpreted that way, and it makes it much more interesting. There is no direct evidence for Jack’s existence, and everything we hear about him interacting with others is from interviews with Old Rose.

In fact, some parts of the film make more sense when watching this way. Rose’s near-miraculous ax hit to free Jack from handcuffs? Never happened. Not getting caught in cargo storage despite having a very involved tail who apparently just gave up? Never happened – or at least, the part where Jack and Rose have sex in the car never happened.

There is a nude drawing of Rose which she says was done by Jack; however, it is actually signed “JD”, so technically could have been any commissioned artist with those initials. In fact, Cal could even have set it up himself – again, you only ever get Old Rose’s version of events. Though we see Rose given the Heart of the Ocean diamond while on board Titanic (and she is wearing it in the drawing), there is once again no reason that must be the case, and since the drawing isn’t dated, it could even predate her voyage. The letter she claimed she wrote to Cal about said drawing is not found with it, despite the two documents apparently being stored together.

And, note that a “Jackdaw” is a type of bird with various connections in lore – one of which being that Jackdaws appear as a precursor to death or an omen of death. Rose claims she met Jack Dawson when he saved her from a suicide attempt.

Newpipe can also be used as a full-on replacement to the YouTube app or YouTube in a browser. It allows for background music, or video and audio downloads for offline enjoyment.

The apk has to be sideloaded, of course.

At least this will probably end his political career. The left really doesn’t need another rich liberal pushing for status quo, and Newsom has shown he’s effectively just that.

All of this is likely to shift his image and potentially woo some right-wing voters in a future election and… Nah. I’m not about that. Too much of that.

“Anything I don’t like is propaganda” is probably a pretty common response to reality by people extremely susceptible to propaganda. If you build your baseline on bullshit, then your personal Overton Window is permanently skewed and anything real will appear beyond its borders.

What if we were to somehow make the virus inert first, and then give it to everyone? Maybe he’s onto something there…

Oh wait that’s a vaccine

Ahahaha the felon saying voting with your wallet is illegal. Couldn’t make this shit up if you tried.

Cheaper than buying eggs, right?

A good start. It takes much more to fix this problem, though.

There is already enough data for level-headed people to notice that Trump is acting against the interests of his country.

The fact we have to rely on lifelong grifters to notice is the really terrifying part.

Putin getting return on investment.

Most of these people no longer understand the difference between facts and opinions.

From the standpoint where they’re equal, it should be possible to rewrite history to fit the opinion. But of course, reality doesn’t work that way.

Entering the “find out” period of the MAGA FAFO cycle

I tend to use food names, like tomato and sausage. But no potato, and definitely no apple.

I also utilize the special-use domain home.arpa for all my LAN systems, so accidental collisions are largely impossible.

Soon we can just start calling it Trump’s Recession.

closed door meeting

Ah yes, real transparency at work

I can’t wait for Discord to enshittify so that lazy devs can’t say “join our Discord for updates and support!” anymore.

Hate that shit.

Love the meme, but also, let’s not pretend that Joe Rogan isn’t just a propagandandistic shill. If he were all of a sudden making such claims on his show, it might be different. Haven’t seen it.

My parents holding fast with “well, it’s always been like that” made me realize how big this generational divide is.

There are good boomers who get it, yes. There are also some really dumb ones who have literally no clue what kind of world they helped create. Full stop.
