  1. I got it on Android, and it's SUCH a great mobile game! Makes flights much less boring lol
  2. So you're saying the above people were specifically and personally targeting federal employees that enforced rules they didn't like? Is this some weird #bothsides defense of what musk is doing?
  3. It really is wild how this oligarch has so successfully bought control of the federal government https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/business/elon-musk-government-employees-targets/index.html Unsurprisingly, musk is targeting mostly women as being unnecessary in federal agencies
  4. Katy ISD banned Slaughterhouse Five, Wicked, The Freedom Writer Diaries, and more https://www.houstonchronicle.com/neighborhood/katy/article/katy-isd-new-banned-books-19932193.php
  5. Well duh, it's a protocol and not a dog shit platform that fired 80% of it's engineering staff just to save on costs
  6. You're gonna learn to love just how malleable words can be in an (openly) fascist justice system
  7. God, if I could go back and experience Portal again for the first time... I remember being stoked to get my copy of Portal 2 in at Jester West, back when a "digital preoder" was preordering a disk on Amazon lol
  8. Yeah IDK man, I'm pretty sure Ukraine's aid is gonna come to a swift end. They're already sharpening their knives over the failed attempt to blackmail Zelensky, which does not signal support for their war against Russia
  9. That's the beauty! You could set up a separate feed that just collects your degeneracy, or tweak it to intersperse hot singles in your area with your sports shit posting. The idea is that since it's protocol driven and not platform driven, you control your own algorithm
  10. Well he did hostilely take over the former "town square of discussion on the Internet" just to welcome all the nazis and sandyhook/911/plandemic truthers back. He forced himself and a mountain of shit into the middle of things. Honestly, that's the best feature of bluesky and the AT protocol. It's super easy to durably block out shitheads and prevent that crap from creeping back into your feed. You control your own algo, so you really can just have a descending timeline view and not get bombarded with bullshit and sex ads and hate
  11. So the guy that believes that Ukraine is the aggressor in russia is also arguing that tech billionaires are being treated unfairly by the government?
  12. And when they've been starving schools of funds and will deepen that with vouchers, ANY source of funds will be jumped at. From the article: The curriculum is optional for Texas public schools. They do not have to opt in, but a financial incentive exists if they choose to. If they do opt in, the state would give the district an extra $60 per student. "These budget-strapped districts may be looking to anything to help bring a few extra dollars into these very tight budget situations that they find themselves in," said Kelsey Kling, a government relations specialist and policy analyst for the Texas American Federation of Teachers. In recent weeks across the state, Molina said districts have been looking at cutting expenses and programs to ensure they can pay teachers and bills, and give students a quality education experience. "At this time, that's the only way to get a little bit of extra money for their school districts," Molina said. "We are seeing school districts passing by. It deficits, trying to figure out how they're going to ensure that their schools stay open, that their educators aren't rushed out of education in a state where we already have a teacher shortage, not just with the teachers this year, but of a shortage of people wanting to come into education because of all of the different burdens that are being put on our educators at this time."
  13. My bad, got you crossed with handcrusher
  14. It'll be interesting to see now long that infographic stays true for us, top and bottom
  15. You're talking to someone who's entire livelihood is standing between patients and doctors and charging a handling fee to let them do medicine. He doesn't give a fuck about health outcomes, just that he gets a piece and can maintain his cognitive dissonance
  16. I can't fathom a person calling Jan 6th an abomination then looking themselves in the mirror after voting Trump for a 3rd time. Unless they were fully committed to being a piece a shit. It's simple, crusher is voting with his wallet. He'll sell way more guns when society breaks down and everyone is more desperate
  17. It's almost like the cruelty towards women is a feature and not a bug, or something.
  18. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/06/texas-house-greg-abbott-school-vouchers-funding/
  19. I wonder if getting into a trade war with one of our largest and closest trading partners will help or hurt inflation https://apnews.com/article/mexico-tariffs-trump-retaliate-sheinbaum-fac0b0c6ee8c425a928418de7332b74a
  20. Yeah the whole mantra of "when they go low, we go high" just means you get constantly undermined. Lowest pad height wins and all that
  21. And that's a super effective tactic because even though it wasn't an issue he was focused on, the useful idiot boomers that lack criticality just believed it and got outraged at it
  22. Many people are saying, yeah?
  23. Dems need to stop living off of sucking corporate cock for sustenance. Their "for the people" rhetoric rings hollow when they constantly sell out workers or fail to show up and defend the little guy
