I think it would be best if the show was presented as a festival for podcasts with a string of live performances in a beautiful old theater. What you don’t tell the podcasters is these two will be in the wing loudly interrupting well you do technically tell them you just put it in the annoying small text at the bottom of the agreement they sign.

It is a terrible idea, but also a fantastic idea.

Also, sidenote, not all Teslas are expensive?

Most people who are intelligent know that buying pretty much any other brand of EV is a better choice so I am sure you can get Teslas cheap right now.

Wow what a surprise it failed?!???

Don’t these obsessive rightwing projects of micromanagement expanded into a violent and pervasive state of control by overconfident vastly powerful men usually work out perfectly?

I am shocked!

They probably weren’t worshipping strength and productivity over everything else in their lives hard enough.

My personal armchair opinion is they should try it again but this time have less empathy for the weak and downtrodden who don’t fit into the plan. Then it will surely work! I know this because I am a rich and powerful businessman and that makes me less naive than everybody else.

There is zero ethical conundrum here if you simply make sure to buy the books you read that you really like eventually when you have the money.

You will want to reread them eventually right?

Also just giving money to the authors through any direct means works too of course.

I mean there are a whole lot of fascists in Germany…

I might go as far as to say German culture is the least capable of resisting fascism in Europe based on the last ~150 years of history. Which doesn’t mean all Germans are like that but Germany has a serious weakness towards becoming broadly enamored with fascism. (I live in the US, to be clear I see the US very similarly).

Of course Elon Musk is going to be popular with fascists in Germany. This is the same old shit over and over again.

I will say the idea of Germans buying shitty, badly made US cars because they are made by a company owned by an inept fascist is pretty funny in a dark way.

What ha? No!? Why would you think that? Also can I buy some of your blood?

Imagine being the Vice President of the US and still being this much of a loser. It is hard to comprehend.

The idea of JD Vance helping someone’s popularity and likability is hilarious.

Ok, so basically what you are saying is Android is “Open” in name only and that in practice it is functionally not open.

It will certainly be the indirect or direct cause of whatever kills me shrugs.

There is nothing free or open about Android, it only looks like it is when compared with iOS.

Ha well good thing I named my Defense Company that builds killer robots and brutally invasive spyware The One Ring. I was inspired by the power of the ring and think humanity can use it to do good!

My ADHD destroying my life

The tech press is nearly worthless as anything other than a press release service for big tech and the rich techbros who own it.

Any cool tech publication worth their salt would have been writing articles about how cool Mastodon is not trying to help out their buds at Bluesky cash in on their investment by casting shade for no reason on Mastodon.

Yes?

All Morels Are In Opposition To Capitalism

Nope, I just don’t have a sexual attraction to guns and my entire personality isn’t dependent upon me being obsessed with them.

I also am not dumb enough to think that when shit hits the fan a gun is going to really be what I need, I am a leftist I understand the first thing I need to survive is community. Guns don’t do shit for forming that, and that will be by far the most important determinant of survival in the scenarios rightwing preppers are obsessed with fantasizing about… which is ironic because the entire rightwing ideology worships individual “lone wolf” strength as the only thing that is legitimate.

I really dont agree with the whole conclusion of Lord Of The Flies, meh book.

Check out this article about when essentially a real life version of Lord Of The Flies happened and the kids did the exact opposite thing the kids do in Lord Of The Flies.

I remember seeing someone play a Steam Deck in an airport awhile ago and the 3D game had a HORRIBLE frame rate.

To the person playing to their credit they didn’t seem bothered but I couldn’t look away for a couple of seconds it was so shockingly bad. It made me think that a lot of people may have not really had the importance of framerate explained to them and what the relevant numbers are (film is 25, 30 is generally minimum for games and 60 is best).

Almost by definition we aren’t going to know those people but that is because if you are here you are probably a nerd, so this is good for all those blindspots. No one deserves a poor framerate if they don’t have to, unless you are Mitch McConnell.

That ~50,000 year evolutionary bond comes out real strong in Zoomy Games.
