  1. So apparently his dad was on the TV show intervention for his meth addiction... and was also a porn star and a MMA fighter. Sounds like a fun guy.
  2. Fox News (which hasn't said a peep about this story in like 4 days) now has a big story about how he is non-binary. Comments are 100% exactly how you think they would be...
  3. Eh, it still looks like goofy old avatar to me. Visually impressive I guess, but I always found the overall aesthetic and art direction to be super cringy and annoying. It all looks a little too good. Both too real and too fake at the same time. It doesn't look like we are seeing something real. It looks like we're watching someone play a video game from 30 years in the future. Beyond all that, the story and dialog and action and characters and all that other stuff were just so full of tropes and corniness. I really didn't like the first one at all and these trailers do nothing for me at all.
  4. I think the echo spent a bunch of years as that fun cheap gift you buy for the person you have no idea what to get for a gift. It was cheap enough that you could get one for yourself or someone else without worrying about it. Maybe they can charge $8 a month for access… seems to be a popular monotization strategy these days…
  5. These things drive me nuts. I also choose not to have one in my house. My kids want one, and I just have zero desire. It's not a surprise that they don't make money. I'm sure the hardware is basically sold as cost or barely above cost. I always saw it as more of a long game for our eventual Star Trek like future where voice is the main input... but the truth is we won't really need boxes to get there and I don't think any one company can really rule that space, if that even is where we go. One thing I notice is that my kids hate typing shit. They will ask Siri to do everything. They will ask Siri 5 times in a row before they even think to try and do a regular web search or whatever.
  6. He posted it on Twitter years ago. Bringing Trump back unlocked all of his tweets so people can now post them and retweet them.
  7. Im guessing that this story falling out of the top stories on Fox means the shooter was one of their guys. I mean, obviously, a democratic congressmen saying in an interview that Tik Tok is potentially dangerous is the top news story of the day. Followed immediately by Musk criticizing the media, something McCarthy said last week, some random details about the college kids killed in Idaho (with pictures of hot girls) and the death of the actor who played a power ranger are clearly much more important news stories.
  8. Cowards at Fox News have the comments turned off on their article on this. They either knew they would be a total shitshow or they were a shit show and they turned them off. This is going to be an ugly time.
  9. Yeah, you can juggle cards to maximize rewards, but I find that annoying. In my late 20s, early 30s when I did have some credit card debt, I would juggle multiple cards, but those days are long gone. I pay for almost everything with my card and pay it off every month. I still have like 5 cards, but I only ever use one. I never cancel them. I was told it can have a negative effect on credit scores so I don't worry about it. They just sit in a drawer and are out of sight our of mind. I have a separate account / card I give my kids to use when they need it because whatever they're doing doesn't take cash... or it's just easier. I know multiple people who have like $50,000 plus in credit card debt and I would just ugh... no.
  10. Hmmm... just the first two episodes? I would have to go back and watch, but it took me a few episodes to really fall in love with this show. The first episode was my least favorite. I thought the flashbacks were somewhat confusing until they (eventually) paid off and they had so many characters that they didn't really introduce or explain who they were or why we should care about them. We get there eventually, but it was confusing at first. I don't know how many people will watch the first two episodes and decide to subscribe to D+ because of them. It may be a hard sell. Showing people the whole first season might make them sign up for season 2.
  11. The slow burn is the best part. Most Star Wars stuff feels like they try to cram 6 hours of material into 2 hours. It moves so fast and never has any room to breathe, This is the exact opposite. It does move slow, but it is definitely not boring. Things are constantly happening and I honestly think every single episode is a little better than the ones before it. It builds on itself.
  12. Candace Owens should shut the fuck up forever. I don't give a fuck what that stupid idiot garbage person has to say about anything.
  13. Jesus, Fox News and their army of brainwashed vile EVIL MOTHERFUCKER morons are really up Musks ass. They try to turn this vile piece of shit into some sort of hero. It r4eally speaks to how completely morally bankrupt they are. There is a story up right now about how bad things are and how a manager threw up after being told he had to lay off his entire team and the comments section is just an endless stream of people mocking him dn high giving each other over who can be the biggest most vile piece of shit. We truly live in a broken fucked up world.
  14. I really think we're right on the edge of the GOP and their media empire turning hard on Trump. It's going to be a wild ride. If Trump decides to go nuclear and burn the party to the ground (which he probably will) it's going to be crazy to watch. These fuckers shouldn't be allowed to turn on him. They all forever have his taint all over them. You can't pretend he was okay when it was convenient and then abandon him when he's not. You already told us who you were when you supported him in the first place. If you were ever a Trumper, nothing you say or do will ever have any weight behind it, because you aren't an honest person. You've proven yourself to be an opportunistic huckster who stands for literally nothing and believes in literally nothing.
  15. Yeah, that thread is hilarious. I mean, who did those shit brained losers think they were supporting all those years? Fucking idiots. If you didn’t see it then, you’re a fucking dolt. Stop clutching your pearls over this. This is who he always was and how he always acted. If you did the required mental gymnastics to accept his behavior as acceptable, you are a broken person. You were and continue to be a very stupid person.
  16. The Missouri legalization bill was somewhat controversial. A lot of pro-legalization people did not support it because they feel it will lead to too few companies having control of the industry in the state. I voted yes, who knows when we’ll get another shot at this. I’m still shocked it passed honestly. Polls indicated it would, but it still feels very weird.
  17. Did anything happen to provoke this, uh, statement? Desantis has been laying fairly low and not bashing Trump at all, right? This is gonna be a total shit show. I mean, seriously read that fucking thing. It sounds like it was written by C- level high school freshman who is calling out some other cheerleader for being a slut. A man who used to president of the United States wrote that. Like, let that really sink in… like nice and deep.
  18. He drew a safe zone around Mar-a-lago on the map with a sharpie, he'll be fine.
  19. I mean, that's better than what 99% of people get. That's insanely generous by corporate America standards.
  20. I think we're starting to see it now. It's going to be hilarious when they start turning on Trump, and he starts saying non-stop insane things about all of them and then they get to act like the were never completely on his side, the side of utter and total insanity. Everyone who supported or voted for him should have MAGA carved into their foreheads Inglorious Basterds style. I will never forgive anyone who voted or supported that man. You told me who you were. You are a crazy idiot, an evil opportunist or both. So FUCK YOU. Forever.
