Reminds me of that Twitter “tradcath” convert that didn’t know about papal supremacy.

538’s latest New Jersey poll, not even marked as partisan funded, has Trump ahead by one.

Please god it would be so fucking funny.

Does anyone know the actor’s name? He has a fantastic ass.

How many bacteria have you caused to go extinct?

Literally none.

Stacking rocks is cool and fun, actually.

I love the logic there. Allowing an entire species to go extinct due to the invasion of another species, potentially fucking up the local ecosystem? Perfectly fine, let nature run its course. Moving a few rocks, having negligible impact on the environment around them? Horrible, nature will never recover from this.

Documents released by the agency show a maximum of about 450,000 barred owls would be shot over three decades after the birds from the eastern U.S. encroached into the West Coast territory of two owls: northern spotted owls and California spotted owls. The smaller spotted owls have been unable to compete for food and habitat with the invaders.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Conservation isn’t about getting all animals to live together in harmony or some shit. An invasive species is threatening to cause the extinction of another, so the former needs to be curbed to save the latter.

Maybe if they could be picked up and moved somewhere else that would be better. But how exactly are you going to mass migrate half a million owls?

No details has been given on how many warplanes are going to be shipped or how soon "soon" is.

Or how fast they’ll be destroyed.

There’s no official category 6, but last time I checked if you extrapolate from the wind speeds used for the first 5, you could say we’ve already had a few “category 6s”.

They really should get on officially defining categories 6 and 7 so we can really know how fucked we are.

Some random study proposes 192 mph, which is only slightly higher than the highest on record at 190.

Biden drops in favor of Kamala, libs let out an enormous sigh of relief, then Kamala loses worse than Biden would have.

I think that’s currently the funniest possible scenario.

Was checking 538 for the poll aggregates, but I saw this lmao

There is a 48-in-100 chance that Biden wins at least one state he didn't win in 2020

What fucking state Nate Bronze? What red state does Joe Biden have an almost 50% chance of winning? North Carolina, Texas, Florida? Where did you get that number from?

I know 538 is bad, but that’s just a complete joke. Now compare that to their 49% chance of Biden winning the electoral college. All I see is there’s actually a 0% chance of either of those happening.

 

The Ukraine war was just a distraction all along. Russia has developed FTL travel and now has nukes stationed in Andromeda, waiting to strike the US.

Also lol at showing Crimea as unambiguously part of Ukraine, but also showing Ukraine bombing Crimea. I guess Ukraine is bombing itself.

How have they managed to make piracy easier to understand than the legal way?

I love the Pokemon page laying it all out, it's a nice concise example of the problem.

"Swap to Freevee then Hoopla, then swap to Tubi, then Hulu, then Roku." :agony: You couldn't write better parody.

Anyway, here's seasons 1 through 19 in one download: https://nyaa.si/view/1191282

The first 4 points (not in the screenshot, in the full thread) aren't horrible, depending on what calls of ableism they have in mind, but it's just way down hill from there.

Their bio:

Brunch lib. Basically a KHive/Bonds Dog amalgam. I stand with 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦🇬🇾🇹🇼🇦🇲

Just the worst collection of flags, except 🇬🇾 and 🇦🇲, but I'm guessing 🇬🇾 is just to follow the State Department line on their territorial dispute with Venezuela.

I so want this to be a parody, but they have a lot of threads about how horrible various 91° media pundits actually love Trump.

(Not that all their targets are undeserving, ♫Michael Tracey Crypto-Fascist♫ is definitely not.)

Games that are about capitalism, economy, or money grubbing are allowed in this event. It doesn't have to be real money—cookies count as a currency!—but the entire goal of the game should be to make money.

lmao at the not at all subtle beg for Cookie Clicker to be part of the fest. I hope it’s not.

Games that are mostly about trading or bartering are not eligible for this event. Sorry, this is an event for Capitalist titles only!

Trading and bartering is economy. And an economy isn’t necessarily about maximizing money earned. If they just wanted capitalist stuff they should have left the word economy out. It literally says capitalism or economy in the description.

I’m guessing it’s just brainworms who think economy = capitalism.

Anyway it would be hilarious if Workers and Resources applied to be in the fest.

Construct your own republic and transform a poor country into a rich industrial superpower!

Economic simulation. Prices of resources on the global market are changing over time as you play –one day you can sell or purchase steel for a $100 per ton, but in a few months the cost can rise to $200 or decrease to $50. The price of everything is connected to the cost of work and resources.

See, it’s about making money and economy. That’s what you were looking for, right?

Or what’s some game that critiques capitalism by having you take it to its logical end? The organizers could probably be tricked into accepting it.
