death to America
  • Butthead used to creep me out as a kid. Just uncanny enough that passing by a Spencer's and seeing that would have me like, "euuugh."

  • Lmao the Pod Damn America guy ratiod the president.
  • This is true. I still massively respect his work in terms of actual praxis. Their opinions tend to be solid as long as you don't ask them much on AES countries.

  • A new challenger approaches
  • Imagining a frigate out of the clear blue sky ramming into the Iron Dome.

  • Lmao the Pod Damn America guy ratiod the president.
  • Solid af podcast. They can have some cringe takes, especially towards AES, but they interview some great socialists, they're genuinely funny, and they are good people at the end of the day.

  • Imagine being a Warren stan in 2024. Even more pathetic than still being a Bernie supporter
  • Isn't ya'll more a regional dialect thing or am I mistaken?

  • Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
  • And her last famous moment was her shouting at some kids, no less.

  • From the mouth of Mike Wazowski himself, Elden Ring is balanced around using everything
  • Hot take, smithing stones and souls should drop with twice the rate to make experimentation easier. I played blind on my first playthrough and managed to miss the Bell Bearing for Smithing Stones 1 & 2. It really hindered my experimentation, knowing there would be some grinding when I found a cool weapon late game or realized a boss took +%100 damage from some weird spellbomb or grease.

  • Why would you talk down like this to people you want to vote for you, this is just jacking yourself off! (rant below)
  • Bread has pretty much doubled in price. That's the kinda stuff most people riot over.

  • Oklahoma orders schools to teach the Bible 'immediately'
  • Imagine what Sodom and Gammorah must have been doing to apparently be the bad guys. Had to be something absolutely insane and not some vanilla shit like anal.

  • 62 Democrats Join 207 Republicans in Vote to Conceal Gaza Death Toll
  • It's really hard to process this level of open and pure evil rn.

  • Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • Bass boosting as humor. The rest of younger people stuff is perfect for my obscene ADHD, but I'd rather not take hearing damage during the last second of a meme.

  • Looking into it.
  • I imagined these words being spoken by a Dixiecrat.

  • America
  • I've seen so much nationalism and idolatry in this country that this weirdly doesn't phase me.

  • Based TJ
  • Remember the episode where TJ became a capitalist?

  • Who has two thumbs and no more gallbladder?
  • Same. Also my partner.

  • Concerning
  • There is an old political cartoon that shows Hitler being shoved in a toilet, so likely.

  • We should harness the neurodivergent power of paradox map painting game dudes and direct their obsession into top down economy managing simulators instead.
  • I like citybuilders, but I'm not sure where people find the time for them. I also wish I didn't get so rusty on GIS software. Playing around with maps is genuinely fascinating and fun.

  • Not sure if this is dunktank or not...

    And if someone beat me to it and I missed it, just lmk.

    In Defense of the Target-Stans.

    I should likely preface this to say this isn't an explicit defense of that chain of stores and that I am as Polish-American as a pierogi. So..., super !cracker .

    On a recent trip there for some reasonably priced clothes 1 the overall vibe kinda set in. You pick up a coffee2, grab a cart, and just wander through the aisles looking at the basic colors and neat little things. What this is effectively creating is a "sanitized" version of a Farmer's Market or Flea Market.

    The years of wastes composed of manicured lawns and bloodthirsty stroads, paired with decades of neoliberalism and nuclear family focus has left people wanting. People are spread out, alienated, and rarely if ever get the feeling of a third space or place to wander without spending money. While money is certainly being spent on Target, in a weird way I can see how it tickles a small part of the brain when you're out replacing a jacked-up appliance or grabbing some school supplies for your kid.

    Maybe you could argue this goes as far back as the enclosure movement or that the only time it felt pronounced was within the past 50 years or so, but it's a weird flocking spot for those clearly experiencing an emptiness or lack3. This is a case to maybe feel less anger and more pity4.

    1. Finally affording better than the Ace Hardware jeans, baby!
    2. Though I won't cause I'm not a Zionist and I'm picky enough that I own a 1 pound roasting drum.
    3. I think I'm using this right.
    4. Though I also know people who have worked Target and some of those suburbanites can only get off if they made some teenage worker cry.

    What's everyone like to collect?

    I'm a bit fond of collecting stuff. Coins, cards from defunct TCG's, books, and I'm doing my best not to get into stamps. Oh, and of course anything spider themed.

    I like banjo, spiders, and a future with a planet isn't on fire and the working folks can actually live fulfilling lives.
