  • To the Corporate Media, Workers May as Well Not Exist

    Jump

  • This is an excellent read. Thanks for sharing.

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

    Jump

  • Hard disagree on body wash vs soap. Soap always leaves a weird filmy feeling on my skin no matter what brand I use. Plus having to lather up the bar is annoying and I don't want to deal with wet washcloths in the shower. Give me a poof and a bottle of body wash any day.

  • Starbucks accused of manipulating app payments for $900 million profit

    Jump

  • This tracks. I get Starbucks giftcards (as gifts, not for myself) and typically load them into the app so I can order ahead and spend less time waiting at the store. It pisses me off to no end that when I get to the last dollar or two, I can't use it without reloading like $20 onto the app. I refuse to do that and lose the money.

  • US bans pharmacy Rite Aid from facial recognition use

    Jump

  • Good. Now they need to start enforcing bans on corporate facial recognition technology use everywhere.

  • So embarrassing when you show up in the same thing

    Jump

  • So embarrassing! Even that gaudy sash doesn't hide it!

  • The Department of Temporal Investigations is on the case

    Jump

  • There are some that do themed "Time Traveler" days where guests are encouraged to dress up in steampunk and sci fi costumes. I love going on those days, you always see tons of Trekkies, Whovians, and Jedi running around.

  • Helping with the groove

    Jump

  • What division is purple though?

  • Christmas

    Jump

  • Pretty much anywhere! They like sheltered places like under shrubs and in brush, but they'll also sleep on the open ground or the water, like you've probably seen ducks and geese doing.

  • Little gay people in my PC, tell me about your own weird goals

    Jump

  • Faceless helmet-wearing space being, please and thank you.

  • What can you tell me about Bluesky?

    Jump

  • I wanted to like Mastodon but couldn't. The only reason I used microblogging services like Twitter was to shitpost about Vampire: The Masquerade. Said game includes lots of death, blood, and other topics that make some folks uncomfortable. On Twitter, the atmosphere was very "don't like, don't read", but Mastodon has an intense culture about using content warnings on anything that might make someone marginally uncomfortable. I'm cool with that, but I can't do it on my shitposting or it sort of ruins the joke. Bluesky doesn't have that atmosphere.

  • I love that SNW kept that detail in the uniform

    Jump

  • A friend of mine created similar detailing on the leather jacket they made. It involved hand-cutting tiny deltas out of plastic, adhering it to the jacket, then painting it with some kind of leather protectant to create the embossed effect. They're not sure how well it will hold up over time but it looked great on first wear.

  • Age Combat 🤡

    Jump

  • Found the libertarian.

  • Star Wars had Kenobi. Where's our version?

    Jump

  • What happens when you Tuvix Doohan and O'Brien together?

  • The future is now

    Jump

  • All code should be written in Esperanto, the international auxillary language!

  • Does anyone know where I could get a phone inserted into my body? (Example below)

    Jump

  • All I've got is a condom and a nokia brick. Bend over.

  • Taste Is Subjective

    Jump

  • But what if I want to eat trash food that's bad for my body to punish myself for having the audacity to continue to exist?

  • Isn't YouTube bound to win the war against adblockers?

    Jump

  • If it came down to it, I would take an extension to turn the video black, mute it, and click the skip button for me. Better than having to pull my attention away from what I'm doing to click the skip button or else have an ad that legitimately can play for hours on end. Having the pauses would be annoying but less so than the ad.

  • In your opinion, what's the age limit for Trick r Treating?

    Jump

  • The older you are, the more effort I expect. A kid can get away with a cape and a mask. If an older teen comes, I expect full costume, not everyday clothes. Adult? You better be rocking a great cosplay. Not that I'd refuse anyone, but I'll be happiest giving treats to young children or people showing off really amazing effort in the costume department.

  • Expel all Palestinians from Gaza, recommends Israeli gov't ministry

    Jump

  • Am I off base in seeing some similarities between this and the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar?

    Will the filtering of "advertiser unfriendly" language have larger societal implications?
