  • Chris Cuomo mocked for response after deepfake AOC video

    Jump

  • This is what drives me nuts about his apology.

    It's not that you thought it looked like her. It did.

    It's not that you thought it sounded like her voice. It did

    It's the fact that you thought she would string together the sentence:

    Watching that sultry little temptress squeeze into a Canadian tuxedo three sizes too small with her bouncy little funbags on the screen staring at you, piercing through the core of your soul with those ocean-blue eyes that could resurrect the Führer from his grave in Argentina

    In front of a full congress to be saved in the library of congress. That is how little you think of her. That's the insult, that she's somehow dumber than MTG.

    That's the thing to apologize for.

  • Trump names himself chair of L.A. Olympics task force, sees role for military during Games

    Jump

  • I was literally just thinking that. Vegas is a ghost town, most countries are in fear of being stopped at TSA, A Canadian was held for over a week...

    This is gonna be a very weird Olympics.

  • Pete Buttigieg warns Democrats can't go back to status quo after President Trump

    Jump

  • That's kinda how he works.

    He's a "better politician" than the other much older politicians because he can explain the problems and blame Republicans and old politicians for the problems but ultimately his solutions are the same.

    Also he comes straight from private equity and refuses to say anything bad about them. As a matter of fact he's the first politician I have ever heard say "no". Full stop, no weaseling out of it. It was when he was asked about his prior employers and their involvement in a price fixing scandal over Canadian bread prices.

    So... yeah I don't like him

  • When a Christian Makes Contact with an Atheist

    Jump

  • I once had a study partner who was raised like that. We were scheduling our first after school study session and trying to figure out time. I shoot out sunday and he goes "nah I have church, wait don't you have church?" "nah, I'm an atheist"

    dude vanished. Three days later I notice him trying to like... hide in a hoodie towards the opposite side of the class. I walk over, worried I offended him or something. He basically tells me that he can't interact with satanists and I just go "look, if you don't wanna interact with me, don't. You don't have to hide in a corner or try to avoid me. If you wanna draw the line at just existing in the same room, ok then."

    To his credit, he did try to have a study session with me after that, but I had to end it early. The dude was so on edge, it was like he was convinced I was gonna stab him at any moment.

    Years later he contacted me to apologize out of the blue on facebook. Went completely off grid traveling the world. My guess trying to compensate for just how little he knew of it.

  • Cuomo says key factor in his primary loss was Mamdani’s support from young, Jewish and pro-Palestinian voters

    Jump

  • I mean, the bigger reveal is him admitting that over half the Jewish vote probably voted for Mamdani.

    He pushed the antisemitism HARD. Every outlet pushed the antisemitism HARD. He's admitting point blank it failed miserably.

  • AOC's campaign office vandalized with red paint in NYC

    Jump

  • Like, the most devils advocate I can be for her vote is that she's arguing that we shouldn't take away their shield, we should take away their spear.

    To which... I still don't see the logic. Because if you can block with one hand you're free to stab with the other. If all you have is stabby implements, you got no way to deal with when they stab back.

    They'd be forced to be less aggressive, which they seem intent to be.

  • Is that a mod on the device that you own?

    Jump

  • That is a well done photoshop

    bravo

  • Andrew Cuomo says he’ll run a third-party bid for New York mayor after losing Democratic primary

    Jump

  • It doubly won't work since isn't Eric Adams doing the same thing? Two establishment politicians running as independents?

  • A lesson so many need to learn

    Jump

  • I'm actually planning a twoshot of DC20 next week. So hopefully I will be able to do just that.

    From everything I've been reading I've liked quite a bit, hopefully it works just as well in practice.

  • After more than 7 years of development with nothing to show for it, Riot cancels the Minecraft-inspired sandbox RPG Hytale and closes the studio making it

    Jump

  • Yeah, when it takes 3 or 4 lakes of thatch to make a thatch roof, you only ever get one building.

    The amount of stone required for bricks, the amount reed required for any sort of storage, the amount of sticks to power your kiln. There's so much grinding for base materials that making anything pretty cuts so deep into your survival.

    Leather in particular sucked because you needed borax or limestone or chalk. Took so long to find but it was the difficulty of building materials that drove me absolutely batty.

    Jump

  • Was just about to recommend this. Really wish I could get a server of people playing it. Single player is ROUGH. It takes so much time and effort to build cool stuff in survival and there's just not enough time to gather all the raw resources in a day.

  • God that split sucked it was the last straw for me.

  • NSFW

    Reddit is purging, with great prejudice

  • Wait Digg is back? I thought that died in the 90s?

  • Judge Says Most Burger King Customers ‘Could Be Deceived’ by its Ad Photos

    Jump

  • I remember watching those as a kid. I immediately decided then and there that nothing could be trusted in a commercial. BK was by far the most egregious example.

    With burgers in particular, I remember them cutting a slit in the back of the patty just so they could stretch it out off camera to make it look bigger.

    total bullshit.

  • Researchers Secretly Ran a Massive, Unauthorized AI Persuasion Experiment on Reddit Users

    Jump

  • Found it, 137 deltas.

    Impressive, a bit worrisome

  • Researchers Secretly Ran a Massive, Unauthorized AI Persuasion Experiment on Reddit Users

    Jump

  • ... well how many deltas did it get?

    I hate it as an experiment on principle but c'mon how well did it do?

  • "This is a mistake": House Democrats fume at David Hogg's plan to oust lawmakers

    Jump

  • Why this is not brought up every other day whenever Schumer or Pelosi think they are out of touch, I will never know.

  • SHOCK POLL: AOC a Close Second Place Behind Kamala Harris in 2028 Democratic Primary

    Jump

  • I'm not,

    I'm genuinely skeptical that most polls are an accurate sampling of the population. Most people I know would never sit through a phone poll. Most polls reek of phishing. One of the very first phone polls said that Dewy would beat Truman in a landslide. It was completely wrong because it was predominantly rich people who had the phones to even answer the polls.

    Who has the time for polls? Who drops by the candidate booths at the state fair? It's a type for sure.

    The only poll I have been a part of all last year was a phone poll entirely about optometrists and eye appointments and how they should be handled in the healthcare system. I couldn't even finish it because the entire things was just... painful to go through.

  • CNN to host town hall with Bernie Sanders on April 9

    Jump

  • There's a much simpler reason.

    CNN is hemorrhaging viewers. Bernie draws crowds. If you want people to tune in so advertisers think you're useful you gotta find something to bring an audience.
