Oh, because if the month you chose has less than 31 days, it’ll assume the 31st of September is the 1st of October? That’s reasonable.

Even static PNG ads are purpose engineered to grab your attention. People with attention disorders like ADHD and autism don’t have as much attention to give, and when it’s gone we’re debilitated. We need to start considering cognitohazards a legally prosecutable form of violence.

The utopia of Star Trek was only able to happen because they had a WWIII and the communists won

And CO2

I never forgot that I had Warframe but I just got back into it after 7 years of not playing and it’s still great.

Bees are a democracy. Sure, they treat outsiders with suspicion and can be radicalised to great violence, but they’re one of the only animals on earth that eats without killing anything, not even a plant. And if they don’t like their queen, they have a revolution. They’re communists.

Fuck Slack

Swiping can be hard for a 90 year old with arthritis or anyone with a lot of other physical disabilities. For all the work Apple has put into marketing the iPhone as the accessible option, I’d rather give great grandpa an android in 2023.

Cactopodes

I don’t think a simple misconception can create schizophrenia. It’s a complex neurochemical disease with genetic factors

The police think they’re solving murders.

I don’t think Pierce is a narcissist. Jeff is the narcisstist. And even if he were, NPD doesn’t make anyone racist.

I don’t think they think it. I think they got computers slightly faster, because a large corporation drew on the resources its home country had stolen from those places to leverage a monopoly.

Your data shows desktops, but it doesn’t show laptops. It’s not news that laptops are more common than desktops.

Greybeard is also the name for an experienced DRG player

It’s sad and hilarious that people hear “zero waste” and think “I need to take aaaaall my cans to the recycling center and compost my scraps”, when the waste that is actually destroying the biosphere is the exhaust from your car. If we’re talking about “doing lower waste”, the first priority is to stop driving a car. Recycling bottles and composting scraps is the thing we can afford to do imperfectly. But not cars, ditching cars is the big important thing and the first step to sustainability.

Why do Americans think that American laws are the same thing as universal concepts?

It’s great that you’re so open minded to seeing things from another perspective.

I don’t blame the artist who originally drew that poster, but I do think she could have played it smarter than to give a AAA gaming company the rights to a controversial and nuanced satire of transphobia. The result of that is kind of inevitable when you consider the capitalist context of big companies like CDPR. I totally want to see political media exploring these issues in indie games, but trusting big corporations to have a nuanced discussion of the most delicate trans issues is a bad idea. A cis woman with a glowing dildo up her pants on CDPR’s Twitter was kind of inevitable

I agree on the count of Chang, but not Pierce. The group allowed him to use his “shwami” act as part of a plot-crucial heist while taking Greendale back from Chang’s army. And besides, I’ve heard rumours that Chevy Chase really was like that offstage too. Apparently the rest of the cast hated him.
