  1. Not a site error, but a feature request: Is there a way that youtube video embeds can be a reasonable size and not fill the whole screen? They used to be a smaller size, and it seems like they embed nearly fullscreen. Or if that's just a weird thing on my machine that'd be good to know too
  2. Man, the Lumon Management Program videos have been great extra flavor and there's great "Lumon is Listening" videos selling severance moved videos into spoiler tags so they don't explode the webpage
  3. NASA is gonna get its budget slashed https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/white-house-may-seek-to-slash-nasas-science-budget-by-50-percent/ RIP to any long term missions or projects
  4. Wow that's some real stupid shit. "I have billions of dollars! I can't be stupid!"
  5. But the Dems just aren't marketing well enough right @Bozo_Casanova? Totally not just pure unhinged id and hatred.
  6. Tates disciples are really being the change they want to see in the world https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/06/kyle-clifford-watched-andrew-tate-videos-before-triple
  7. He's just doing the empty suit move where a new CEO comes in and makes a bunch of changes to put his stamp on things. Good or bad move doesn't matter - he has to be doing things to feel important. Just, most empty suits don't command the most powerful fighting force in human history
  8. She was, but the last time they interacted the whole house thought that Ms Selvig had stolen their baby. They knew eachother, but I certainly would not be friendly with someone who nearly kidnapped my daughter
  9. lulz Iceland getting in on the fun now https://www.visir.is/g/20252697916d/haedst-ad-thrutnum-og-afskraemdum-vara-for-setanum
  10. oh no! Not my transitive proofs! How am I gonna build state machines now??
  11. I cashed out all my long term held RSUs that I've accumulated. Granted I was locking in 25% gains from the acquisition price and my wife and I are looking for a new house. But I've been happy with my move so far and still have a good bit of skin in the game
  12. I don't disagree that they should be getting out there and counter programming, but it's not about reasoning and appeal. It's about giving permission to hate. That's the core selling pitch for the republican party. Democracy relies on us not resorting to our baser instincts. Trump is permission to be the mosr base and id version of yourself that you can muster.
  13. If only the owner of the site had some other mechanisms to communicate that a poster is fucking up and trolling and thread shitting. There's literally a rule against "shit posting" - at least insofar as whatever BL decides it is. Lol he'll hand out a two day ban for one post among many adding new sourced info, citing "shit posting". Tell me Annie ain't shitposting here. He is not adding to the discussion, and is literally advancing putinist propaganda as fact. Just interesting the kind of stuff that gets a "knock it off" vs a posting timeout.
  14. I gotta say, it's a special brand of fucking coward to not express your pro-russian stance in the DT thread Annie. Since when have we tolerated dead ass Russian propaganda on this topic? Crazy that he can come in to thread shit and spread horse shit putinist talking points and not even get a finger wag from the mods. This isn't just being someone being a dumbass. This is him being a cancer. Lets do what he would in this case, and deny treatment and tell him to fuck off.
  15. Those genXers and boomers must have been too busy buying avocado toast and lattes. Sucks to suck, shitheads.
  16. You don't think there's a State Media apparatus working in coordination with trumpco to make chuds think they're making the frogs gay and the mice trans? Would you be interested in buying a beach house in Nebraska by any chance? I hear there's some nice bridges for sale too
  17. France's insistence on maintaining nuclear reprocessing plants is going to be a massive boon to nuclear re-armament in Europe. ... ... Wait a minute, I thought this president was supposed to help prevent nuclear war?? What gives???
  18. He just wants his congregation to see Jesus a little earlier, is all
  19. Musks personal bodyguards were deputized as Marshals during the trump transition. He has his own private police force with a state license for violence https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/politics/elon-musk-private-security-deputized-marshals-service/index.html
  20. So it really seems like Devon and Cobel were pretty familiar on the phone... Especially considering the last time they saw each other. I think Cobel is shifting to "burn it all down" mode. She was ok not getting credit for the severance procedure, but only if she got to run it. The last thing an Eagan said to her was that she "overestimated her contributions", when they in fact stole from her. She doesn't love Lumon, but she does have a weird faith in Kier Gonna be an interesting ride to finish the season
  21. Yeah they already tried to disappear the Tuskegee Airmen. Classic apartheid.
  22. Lol management consultant confirmed
  23. They don't dislike that he lies, they think he's telling the truth and just being foiled by the evil libs. It's a classic fascist technique: paint your enemy as equally inept and all powerful. When you need to be victimized to boost your base, the enemy is powerful. When you need to thump your chest and make a scene, the enemy is weak and helpless and begging to be crushed. It's called cognitive dissonance. It's a hell of a drug
  24. I think the point they're trying to make that you're overlooking is that you can't "out market" lies. Especially when they WANT to believe those lies.
