Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

"He envied his fellow students who believed in gods that were intangible and lived a long way away on top of some mountain. A fellow could really believe in gods like that. But it was extremely hard to believe in a god when you saw him at breakfast every day."

Under this new proposal, if you're a European who wants to visit New York City for a vacation, you now have to turn over a TON of information to the United States government, which they will keep forever.

The days of just showing a passport will be long gone.
3. Mandatory Social Media: In order to comply with the January 2025 Executive Order 14161 (Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats), CBP is adding social media as a mandatory data element for an ESTA application. The data element will require ESTA applicants to provide their social media from the last 5 years. 4. High Value Data Elements To comply with the January 2025 E.O. (14161), and the April 4, 2025, Memorandum Updating All Forms to Collect Baseline Biographic Data, CBP will add several “high value data fields” to the ESTA application, when feasible. This is in addition to the information already collected in the ESTA application. The high value data fields include: a. Telephone numbers used in the last five years; b. Email addresses used in the last ten years; c. IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos; d. Family member names (parents, spouse, siblings, children); e. Family number telephone numbers used in the last five years; f. Family member dates of birth; g. Family member places of birth; h. Family member residencies; i. Biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris; j. Business telephone numbers used in the last five years; k. Business email addresses used in the last ten years.

A few years ago found a boxcutter in a sink at work that'd been there for months.

Having a flatbed printer designed to print on solid objects and 5 minutes...

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

The way this woman has wholly dedicated to her life to saying shit like "When you call me Eve Fartlow and make wet fart noises with your mouth whenever I talk, you are doing a Kristalnacht to me" is wild
Eve Barlow quote tweeting a Miss Rachel post that reads "Wanting kids to live isn't antisemitic" with "This is blood libel. It's that simple. If you don't understand why, you don't know the first thing about Jew hatred"

Ei ole oikeistolaista politiikkaa luonnon suojelemiseksi.

Ei ole oikeistolaista politiikkaa ilmastokatastrofin torjumiseksi.

Ei ole oikeistolaista politiikkaa inhimillisen hyvinvoinnin varmistamiseksi.

On vain oikeistolaista ahneutta.

Hallistus todistaa sen toimillaan joka ikinen päivä.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT.

Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.
Photo of a magic 8 ball with a 'goatse' version of the OpenAI logo and the words ChatGPT on it, next to a white box that says "ChatGPT offline version". Inset are photos of the 8-ball responses such as "That's a great question", "You're 1000% right" and "Too many requests try again later" and then another photo from the back of the box of a holographic authenticity sticker that says FAKE.

TIL että mun kämpän keittiössäkin on ihan kunnollisen kokoinen poistoilmaventtiili, mutta se on jemmattu lasiovellisen yläkulmakaapin ylimmälle hyllylle mdf-levynpätkän taakse. Ei sen sit toivottavasti tarvi ihan hirveästi mitään poistella...

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

Get a load of this. 😆
A post from ViperThreat: Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house. From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on. This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you: You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room. One of the most surreal moments of my life.

"Politiikassa olennaista on, miltä asiat näyttävät, ei se, mitä ne todellisuudessa ehkä ovat."
Kolmipaneelinen Kari Suomalaisen sarjakuva, päivätty 27.6.89 Kaksi sopuleiksi piirrettyä lehtitoimittajaa lierihatut päässään ja PRESS-kortit hikinauhan alle sujautettuina. Pienempi sopuleista istuu pöydän ääressä kirjoituskone edessään, isompi seisoo pöydän vieressä puhumassa pienelle. "Jos olet eri mieltä jonkun sanomisista, niin kirjoita, että hän 'väittää', mutta jos olet samaa mieltä, niin hän 'toteaa'." "Ja muista, että nato-kenraali 'uhoaa', mutta neukkukentsu 'varoittaa'." "Tällaiset kikat kun opit, niin ei tarvitse alvariinsa tulla kyselemään vaikeita." "Tänks."
