Hmm, stepping on rakes is about the only leverage I’ve seen US Democrats use. The world would be happily surprised if they did otherwise.

Agentic LLMs are not a good idea. So I guess we’ll be hastily jumping into this boat as well.

These guys are going to get away with every single crime they commit until they die. Makes me feel crazy.

Yo dawg I heard you like microplastics

Hoping this ages like milk, but I’m personally not putting much stock into these theatrics. I feel like the past decade has time and time again shown that schadenfreude only happens in movies, and that every interaction these people have with each other are Neanderthal-level grifts that successfully siphon them more even money from the lower classes.

Color me jaded.

This is a weird loredump from Armored Core.

For the ARC, these federal contracts have been lucrative. According to government spending records, the company has received at least $600,000 from federal contracts so far in 2025, and about $700,000 last year.

I don’t know why I was expecting more. US citizens should probably start unmasking who the people making decisions behind these companies are, who would sell out this kind of data on others–all for such an inconsequential amount of money.

This is incredibly insightful, thanks.

I don’t know how many times I’ve made this comment but it feels like a lot. The more you use a word the less it means something. How unoriginal do you have to be at writing headlines in 2025 to use a word as meek as “slams.”

It’s laughable in this context especially. Trying to phrase it like this guy has gotten any kind of consequence for his toddler-from-hell persona.

“Stunning” is such a sad word to use in this context.

Generally they tend toward collecting as much money as possible from people so in that regard, people dying isn’t good for business. But from an ethical standpoint, no, I wouldn’t think so. Do you?

Speculating here but I imagine that would indirectly cause much more death than we already see in wildfire situations, due to people potentially staying home trying to abate damage however they can think of.

This is actually quite eye opening to me, as someone who doesn’t really ever have to look at ratings as a consumer and has always just taken them for granted. Now I’m keenly aware it’s yet another example of runaway capitalism. Just never thought too hard about it.

PEGI’s a cunt.

whoop there it is

Oh right.

Like a self-inflicted extinction event for the ingroup. A study in selective evolution.

For any Americans capable of voting who aren’t planning on voting, fuck you. Exercise your rights. In fact, exercise in general; a good benchmark to aim for is the ability to outrun cops. The future of monocultured, homogenous, morbidly obese, microplastic and PFAS leachate-laden Judases who filed in to toe the line for the ruling class and shun their brethren will be all that’s left on earth after the richest cretins rape the planet for its last naturally occurring resources and pile into the most market-tested, fool-proof space vehicles manufactured by literally the singular winner of capitalism. Capitalism, the golden child of pyramid schemes. Those bovine-shaped humans left on earth crawling on all fours ruminating highly processed refuse will still be muttering out loud to themselves how it was all worth it. “At least I won’t accidentally befriend a trans person” because it will have been years ago that they were banned and disappeared magically. Heart disease continues to run rampant on this future Earth, however. And there’s of course the carbon dioxide problem. Somewhat bittersweetly for the Bovine sapiens species, the last remaining vestiges of oxygen-starved brain activity need only worry about one thing: sniffing for morsels through heaps of plastic waste.

Someone will correct me if I’m wrong!
