Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I think it would be great if they stormed the field and just arrested one whole team. "Got money riding on this game, bitches. Good luck in Guatemala or wherever." Then flip the audience a double bird and walk off the field.

Like if we're doing this, let's just speed run, full mask off.

I mean great isn't the right word. But if this motherfucker burns to the ground, I don't want some Rome bullshit where people are able to kid themselves for like 1000 years. I want them to see within their own lifetimes just how badly they fucked up. I want to see the haunted look in their eyes as bury loved ones and lose homes. This is a nation—indivisible, motherfuckers. Fucking rot in it with me.

I... I'd better stay off the internet today.

No, they should wait for halftime. Just when Bad Bunny starts singing they should storm the stage and have Joe Rogan, dressed as an ICE agent, pick him up and body slam him shouting, "This is what you get spic!"

All of his dancers strip off their clothes revealing they are actually the new ICE dancers. A funky groove starts with some powerful bass backing it up.

Suddenly thirteen jet fighters fly overhead in a tight formation breaking the sound barrier just after they buzz the stadium.

Explosive fireworks go off all around the field and an ominous voice shouts out, "Are you ready!"

Kid Rock dances onto the stage as the new ICE dancers back him up. He shouts into a golden microphone, "We cancelled this woke halftime so Americans can get what they crave!"

As Kid Rock debuts his newest song "ICE, ICE, Save me" ICE agents arrest Bad Bunny and rough him up on stage for everyone to see. After Kid Rock finishes his set he shouts, "If you are brown it is time to leave town!"

Finally, the camera pans to an empty bench on the field and we can see the ghost of Hogan side hugging Kirk as they sit together crying in joy at the scene they had just witnessed.

This sounds plausible af. If you told me this happened, I would probably believe it.

None. Not even ADHD meds because it's a weekend. This is just raw brain squeezings after a rough week at work. Only a couple hours of sleep is probably the issue.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

you don't take it on weekend?! How do you function on the weekend then?

Gestures around at the chaos and devastation.

Mate, it's almost noon and my bed is piled with clothes that have to be folded and I'm sure my daughter hasn't fed the dogs breakfast. And I am taking her to a lunch with friends in... 2 hours.

I take those meds for a reason but my body needs a break on weekends.

My wife was out of town overnight and I went full mania on a project with no one to make me stop. Realized the time at like 3:30AM when the fucking development AI was like, "you need to take a break man. Get some sleep. We'll pick it back up tomorrow." What the shit?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Probably coulda got shit done a lot faster without the slop machine

I don't feel like getting into an internet argument over it, but believe me when I say no. I developed the first version of this over weeks. Well days plus a lot of tweaks and fixes.

I developed this new version overnight and it does more.

I'll credit that if you just said that to every single AI comment you find, you'd be right more often than a coin flip. Just not this time, as it happens.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I've no dog in this fight, but be sure you recheck the new version when you're back to a saner frame of mind.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Good advice. I appreciate that.

Sleep deprivation can be a hell of a drug
