I only knew of him because South Park mocked him and his style of masterdebating by depicting Clyde and Cartman as parodies of him.

Don’t go to university, unless you really want to work in engineering or teaching.

You’ll be saddled with student debt and your job prospects will be worse than if you decided to start flipping burgers or stacking shelves at 18.

Part of the reason Stephen Colbert’s show is getting cancelled is over the Trump Administration approving a merger between Paramount and NBC?

And then they decided to offer South Park Studios a $1.5bn deal…

I’m guessing the Charlie Kirk assassination isn’t the only reason South Park is getting delayed.

As disgusted as I am with the people that have been openly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I don’t think death should automatically make somebody immune from criticism. All Kimmel did was point out that the MAGA crowd are desperately trying to characterize Tyler Robinson as a dangerous leftist, despite evidence so far pointing to him being a Gropyer (alt-right white nationalist faction that has openly feuded with Charlie Kirk.)

Kimmel deserves better than to be cancelled because Trump is a twiggered wittle snowflake who can take about as much criticism as a Reddit or Discord moderator.

Thinking of canceling Disney+? You’re not alone

I already cancelled mine over a year ago because Disney tried to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit on the grounds that the family had agreed to a forced arbitration clause, all because their daughter signed up for a Disney+ trial. Do I even need to explain how much of a cunt you need to be in order to wave a forced arbitration agreement at a grieving family whose loved one was killed by the gross negligence of a staff member?

(also, the fact that I can type this comment on Lemmy and not Reddit says it all.)

Counter Strike 2 has a massive problem with cheaters because Valve refuse to make VAC operate at the kernel level.

Firaxis are like the Bethesda of turn based strategy games. They release buggy jank and expect modders to fix it.

Mmmm, Linux

Geoengineering: Whether through launching solar shades into space to block sunlight and cool the planet down, pump aerosols into the atmosphere, cloud seeding, or anything else. I think this is where our research should be going. I think it’s too late to avoid the worst-case-scenarios of climate change from merely cutting emissions, so more drastic measures to alleviate or even reverse the effects may be necessary. Plus it’ll help us with any future colonizing and terraforming of worlds outside of Earth.

Public transport infrastructure to reduce our reliance on cars & planes: While I don’t think hyperloops or a transatlantic tunnel are feasible, building tens of thousands of kilometres worth of overground and underground railway routes to interconnect towns and cities with high speed maglev trains is. China have the right idea.

Right to work from home: Remote working reduces our dependency on cars and frees up real estate to address the various housing crises we have.

Right to repair and outlawing planned obsolescence: Should we have to buy a new smartphone every 3 or so years because Apple or Samsung want to maximize profits? Do we care at all about the amount of electronic waste we’re producing?

Accelerate our efforts to reverse desertification and plant trillions more trees: If we can turn parts of the Sahel, Gobi Desert and the Australian outback green, that could have a very beneficial effect on the environment.

I’ve had loads last night.

Sleep paralysis demon that looked like someone I knew climbing into my bed and choking me.

Playing through a video game where I fall through multiple traps, fall off the stage and then have the devil turn towards me (looking like a more realistic black-haired version of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel and say “You told them, didn’t you?”

One where I was working an evening shift at my local supermarket, had to close up and help clean up the store.
