Pete Buttigieg fact-checks a GOP congressman to his face at House hearing
  • I wouldn't say so. She asked direct, pointed questions about how the Trump org had over valued properties and other assets in order to get more favorable loans. She knew exactly what she was doing during that hearing.

  • Pete Buttigieg fact-checks a GOP congressman to his face at House hearing
  • Not always. Both Trump's NY fraud conviction, and election interference (hush money) felonies came out of the Michael Cohen hearing, specifically from AOC questions.

    Your overall point is absolutely correct, though. It's even more frustrating when it's easy to see how powerful these hearings can be.

  • Explosive decompression
  • That's why NASA invented Tang.

  • Looks like something straight from Warhammer 40K
  • Every single consecrated Catholic altar contains a relic of a saint. Usually they're pretty small, maybe a piece of a fingerbone or something. You're right that a good one like this would bring in lots of pilgrims (tourist dollars,) but it's a tradition that way predates capitalism.

    I'm not in the business of defending the Catholic Church or capitalism, just wanted to clarify.

  • Dr. Phil's staged interview with Donald Trump is a sign of the grim political theater to come
  • She really did launder a ton of both mis and disinformation through her show over the years.

  • Anon visits gamestop
  • Half the reason I still visit Reddit is so that I can hit /gme_meltdown (the other half is sports.)

  • is this employee in the room with us right now?
  • I think that a lot of those people likely live in a very car dependent, suburban area, and therefore don't get any regular interaction with people outside of their immediate family.

    I live in a city, so I have regular infractions with people that I know when I'm out and about: I pop into the butcher shop, coffee shop or green grocer and talk to the employees I know. I walk the dog, and run into friends and acquaintances that live the next neighborhood over, etc. People in rural areas usually have similar sorts of relationships with people in the area.

    Contrast that with the suburbs, where neighbors may know each other to say hello to, but not much past that, and it's hard to build any kind of relationship with the barista at the drive-through Starbucks or any employees at the local Kroger superstore.

  • Gotta put the trucks somewhere, too.

  • Anon dislikes reddit
  • I prefer people do that than either delete the comment, or edit the original. Otherwise the comment chain makes no sense, and people don't get a chance to learn from the original incorrect comment.

  • Not to mom shame...
  • Duh. Everybody knows the only thing that works is Velostat. You cannot use any other material.

  • In Honor of American Conservatives Learning Homelander is Bad
  • I highly recommend a rewatch. You'll notice what a piece of shit WW is very early on, now that you know what to look for.

  • In Honor of American Conservatives Learning Homelander is Bad
  • Go back and rewatch. He knows exactly what he's doing from the very beginning. He has chance after chance to get out. Each time he makes the choice to double down, knowing that what he's doing will hurt somebody, and he does it all for his own self aggrandizement.

  • Journalist shot by Minneapolis police during 2020 protests dying from injuries
  • But of course, police are given 3 months of training tops, so they just fire them wherever.

    I don't think they fire them wherever. I think they aim at people's faces because they think it's funny.

  • Utah's bathroom snitch line hasn't found one legitimate complaint out of 12,000
  • Bleed the Beast.

    Waste money on bullshit like this, then cut useful social services to "balance the budget."

  • Trump gets name of his doctor wrong as he challenges Biden to cognitive test
  • No, they need to actually report on him. That includes the court cases, but also the constant stream of crazy shit that he says at his "rallies," as well as what his plans are for a second presidency.

  • The abs that shook the pillars of civilization
  • Because they can choose whose peepee, if any, that they want to touch. And yes, they choose not to touch said podcaster.

  • Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over OpenAI partnership
  • Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

    Seems pretty straightforward to me.

    In case anybody is wondering why he's making a big deal out of it.

    As to why emoji feels the need to make his own "anti-woke" AI, it's because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet "forced diversity quotas." I'm not kidding.
