look. little caesars is how you get through budget-constrained life. or at least how i did lmao.

it's not amazing, it's never going to be.
but $5 (well, $7.50-8 by the time I left Canada in 2022) for two meals is hard to beat!

plus the company history is surprisingly decent

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Fascists do messy sexual stuff in public to get you to pay attention to them and make their identities more well-known, which they can parlay into more cultural and political power.

The thing that gives me hope is that we've more or less fought them to a draw with nothing but heart.
Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.
They're actively paying people to complain now...

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Tesla employees passed around photos of the insides of customers' garages, footage of what they were doing inside/near their cars. The cars were OFF at the time, a nude Tesla driver walking past their car in the privacy of their own garage became a Tesla office meme

Newsom is the front-runner right now in exactly the same way Jeb! was the front-runner in late 2013.

He has ZERO juice, but he is catnip to the juiceless opinionators who are the only people gossiping about “who is the frontrunner right now.”
J-MART, on Newsom:

“.. Ask yourself: How many other potential candidates .. can transcend the political-pop culture divide ..?

“.. there may not be a modern political figure who was simultaneously so well-positioned to be his party’s nominee ..”

Working on a new AQ sensor, and the first version of my PCBs worked correctly! Never thought I could top the feeling of "code compiles and works on the first try" 😂

My parents met on jury duty. I’m pretty sure my mom was engaged to a guy named Doug at the time.

In the jury pool room they watched the Watergate hearings and she thought my dad was an asshole. They were married within the month.

And seven years later they named their only child after a hot dog.

I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

“AI” is truly the perfect crime

Plausibly presenting a magic slave to consumers, businesses and investors when it depends on criminal and unethical behavior to create and operate and is ultimately irretrievably broken and can never work as you promise (and you know it).

It’s fascinating and scary.

Yeah, we all know the GOP are hypocrits, but it's def something to see them going from faux outrage via shitty movies like "Sounds of Freedom" to "Well, 15 isn't that young."
