Screenshot of Slay the Spire 2. The Necromancer, a skeleton with a scythe, stands next to Osty, a dismembered skeleton hand, fingers on the ground as if imitating a spider. Both have a blue flame on them.
I love him so much, I would die for Osty
(I mean not actually, it's literally the other way around)
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

our entire government is now run by people too dumb to realize that Starship Troopers (1997) was mocking them
Recently read a thread on what it means to be functionally illiterate, which made the point that in the modern era illiteracy isn't not reading words, almost everybody can do that, rather it means not understanding subtext and meaning in media. It actually explains a lot about the radical right..
Wait, who thought Bateman was a good guy? Is there some other Bret Easton Ellis out there known for his sly and subtle inversion of expectations.
think the lesson here is that a mind hardwired against irony and the symbolic is going to struggle with media literacy. And in an age where media is so pervasive that it's inescapable, that's a huge problem.
no, man. most of them get it. some don't but generally speaking far right ppl understand themselves to be in direct opposition to and represented with hostility by liberal culture. they talk about it constantly
i think when you're talking about people who consider hitler at least a little bit cool, you have to recognize that they just do not share your conception of what villainy is. they usually don't misapprehend these character's qualities or the creator's intentions, they think those qualities are good
you're giving this way too much credit. he means that the US is going to be masculine and officially do war crimes from now on, that not doing that held us back, and that we're unstoppable gods now. that's all he's saying
100.0% of the depraved things attributed to Roman emperors actually happened.

lol at the phrasing "clung to power despite US opposition," as if that were the natural deciding factor in who runs venezuela. that's exactly the same way they'd write "clung to power despite losing an election"
who wants to buy me slay the spire 2
i just gotta
whenever i'm talking to a bigot my only goal unless i'm stimulated by curiosity or something is to get them to expose their absurdity to others. it's fun for me but it's not a real conversation. it's performance
finally someone else who gets it
I use gossip or criticism to influence how others perceive someone. marked agree
people are keeping it together on thursday and not driving into the median more and more
Masteful sequence of quotes in Mike and Ike which I never noticed before
actually rather impressed by the level of self awareness americans are displaying here. so impressed that it makes me think americans are morally good...
i get that, im just saying its not just the coating that's the problem. it's possible to warp the pan that way
or at least it never visibly damaged any of my cast irons. i think that is just because of the extreme durability of the material. if you had a relatively thin pan with no nonstick coating it would be bad for that too
oh, yeah, it is fine with cast iron. i just haven't had one of those in a while
i don't even wash a hot pan with cold water

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api
it's actually very functional: the blue dot alerts you to the presence of a blue dot. and since the blue dot is still there after you click, it wouldn't make sense to remove it when you do
very interesting thread
not even that unusual to be a nonwhite white supremacist

utterly disgusted that the @bostonglobe.com is publishing work by literal, avowed, and known white supremacist Richard Hanania

Find me one instance of Platner making any kind of fascistic or nazi comments. In the 760 pages of 10 years of reddit comments that have been gone thru with a fine-tooth comb, or anything he's said since, there are none. Maine is a small state; we do have Nazi's; we know who they are. He ain't one. reply He said he was a "long time fan" of a racist YouTube channel when he went and did a guest appearance on it. response Throw away line at close.
"find me one instance. you can't"
*easily finds one instance*
"ok that one doesn't count"
You're right to question my targeting capability — that was a school, and not a weapons cache. That's my bad — I'll be sure to check the accuracy of my maps in the future. Would you like me to delve further into the difference between nuclear weaponry and school children?
