It worked for Trump. One of his pledges was to pardon Ross Ulbricht.

It’s gone viral on several meme pages I follow on Facebook…

Also if this employee doesn’t get rewarded for the tip-off that led to Luigi’s arrest, what kind of message is that going to send to the public about law enforcement? It’s just going to reinforce the already-growing ACAB narrative and make people distrust the police even further…

Heck, the very real possibility of being publicly outed, shamed, harassed and threatened for being the one to rat on Luigi, and not getting the promised $60,000 reward could end up radicalising more people.

Something that would make every Chicagoan and their ancestors cry.

If I were Uncle Roger and I saw this abominable attempt at a deep dish pizza, I’d put my leg down from chair.

That $50,000 bounty is likely a bigger payout than two years of wages as a burger flipper…

Prigozhin?

Starfield is another good example.

Some of you may have seen HeelVsBabyface’s infamous “pronouns” rant video and taken it a bit out of context. Many said he was upset at the sight of a pronouns selection option on the character creation menu. His rant actually came a few hours into playing after a series of quests with incredibly contrived dialogue.

You identify as a cis heterosexual he/him and AMAB?

Good for you, you know that was always an option regardless of the LGBTQ movement?

At this rate America’s 4B movement is gonna stand for “bang bang bang bang”…

Klitschko v Rogan is a celebrity fight I’d actually like to see.

Sounds like 2012 era Reddit is back on the menu.

Mastodon just sucks as a user experience. Your average Joe doesn’t give a fuck about federation, yet it’s the whole Fediverse crap that harms the UX.

I made the mistake of signing up to a smaller Mastodon instance. Place was virtually empty aside from the lead admin (bit of a pretentious asshole) and a few other guys, and if you decide to browse the All Instances view, you’re flooded with posts from hentai reposting bots. And when I saw the #loli hashtag in one of those posts I immediately noped out.

Threads is still in a really bad state well over a year later. Meta still haven’t implemented hashtags and trending topics (even Mastodon has these), and my feed is full of thirst traps.

Bluesky has it all, and was created by Twitter’s original founders.

A mutual friend of ours got into an argument with him because he made some new friends at his local pub and was buying pints for them left, right and centre. He took serious offence to the suggestion that they were using him for his money (he got about £120k in inheritance after his mum died) and cut both of us off, even though I never said anything to him.

I don’t want to elaborate on his backstory but he had a lot of mental health problems and past trauma. After a lot of bad things happened a few years ago, he decided that he was done with life and vowed not to outlive his cats. Have tried to talk him out of it but he’s set on ending his own life after his cats pass away.

I presume he’s still alive, but I can’t get in touch with him as he nuked his phone number and blocked me on all socials.

Now is the time for Europe to rally behind Ukraine. We really should have upped military funding and arms production in preparation for this outcome.

Either it’s women using filters to touch up their images, or it’s AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform…

Bernie Sanders reflected on it stating that it was the Democrats failing the working class that won Trump the election, and people in the Democratic Party denounced him for it.

I mean considering the fact that he flashed himself to a 16 year old girl without any warning, I’d say that tattoo was well deserved.

How much support is there for Trump in the military though?

I’m worried about the possibility that this kind of rhetoric could lead to an attempted coup or civil war.

Oh it’s been like that long before January 6th, and long before Trump even stepped foot in the Republican primaries eight years ago.

That wasn’t me defending Jan 6th either. Trump’s little Beer Hall Putsch was frankly inexcusable, and the fact that he’s likely not going to face any kind of criminal repercussions for it makes the US look weaker than the Weimar Republic.

Because American politics is weird and partisan a f.

Anything even remotely left will get you labelled a Commie or tankie by the right, while anything remotely right will get you labelled a Nazi by the left.
