Doge members, including Airbnb co-founder, aired their vision for federal government to be ‘Apple Store-like’

I want to Luigi them all, it’s hard to know where to start. Capitalism is commodifying existence into a progressively-restrictive slavery. Defenders say the market course-corrects, but greed is always going to be the piece of the democratic Jenga tower back down to authoritarianism.

Anyone have experience with the shots you can get to mitigate allergies/immunotherapy? I was thinking about getting them to temper my chronic sinusitis, and I don’t want to take Claritin for life.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.

by the way i guiltily admit to devouring any and all alien lore and accepting every stupid curveball they throw out there because i am a glutton for xenos. i've listened to those two audiobooks multiple times (they're so well-produced! and the cast isn't bad!) and am currently playing Aliens: Dark Descent a second time.

You’re aware Aliens was also a “money grab,” correct? James Cameron literally wrote the S with a dollar sign when pitching it.

Maybe turn down the abrasiveness or just, like, leave.

Just trying to breathe life into a dead community 🤷

You gotta Field of Dreams it; post in communities you want to see liven up and people will follow, it just takes time.

I guiltily admit i do watch them as background noise years after they’ve been released to make sure they suck. They typically do, though I’ve heard The Jungle Book live remake wasn’t bad.

I’d like to see them do an updated Bullshit series. They really lampooned veganism at the time when I was on the fence about it, and even then I knew they weren’t giving it a fair argument.

I wrote a script on how to “prank” your neighbor wherein the prank is never actually revealed but how to break into someone’s house and leave undetected are shown in great detail, and the person being “pranked” is themselves a big pranker who gets others hurt with their pranks.

It’s all very obviously a thinly-layered analogy for it being OK to kill your neighbor if they’re a Nazi.

Such a fun comedy I wrote. Why don’t my friends want to produce it?

Trying to remove the observer effect, totally understandable! Best wishes in your studies! Say, before you go, which alcohol makes for the best Molotov?

If he wasn’t a piece of shit destroying everything he would be pretty hilarious. “Concepts of a plan” still makes me chuckle.
