Dammit, The Onion got me again. These headlines lately are too believable.

I miss the days when it was acceptable to beat the shit out of Nazis. Can we bring that back?

Yep, I've also seen the massive trucks with full MAGA paint jobs. It's unbelievable how these people actually think that's a good look.

Fun fact, 'woke' already has a definition on the legal record thanks to Ron DeSantis.

The important bit:

Asked what “woke” means more generally, [Desantis’ General Counsel Ryan] Newman said “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

I'm right there with you. I'm happy if a game can maintain a solid 60hz.

I really hope schools are taking a zero tolerance policy with this. Kids need to learn that shit is absolutely not ok.

Morrowind was always my favorite Elder Scrolls game, but I'm probably biased since it was my first. The tech, while good for its time, was always the #1 thing holding it back for modern times. Hadn't heard about OpenMW, but now I'll have to check it out.

A friend of mine got a Polestar 2 and she's been absolutely loving it. I'm considering one myself at some point.

I used to have a boss who like to joke about firing people on his team. He was a nice guy and there was no ill intention behind the jokes, but we eventually had to sit him down and tell him that he couldn't joke about that stuff because it causes a great deal of stress to people given his position.

Another example is bomb jokes in airports. Aside from just being in poor taste, that's something that will get you arrested and probably put on a no-fly list for life because it's an extremely serious matter with no exceptions.

So, even if Trump and his people are just joking about these horrible things, it's completely unacceptable when it's entirely believable they would do this stuff and would be in a position to make it happen.

TLDR: There are just some things you don't fucking joke about.

I could see him dropping all pretense and claiming he is Jesus. And his supporters would eat that shit right up.

I hear guillotines are lovely this time of year.

Maybe, but he sure does seem to love roleplaying a Christian for the attention.
