Trump says DoJ will ‘vigorously’ pursue death penalty after Biden commutations
  • No platform whatsoever. Literally his only game plan is to antagonize every single policy the Democrats make the world a tiny bit better with.

    If Biden made a PSA about how playing Russian roulette is bad, we'd get President-elect Vance tomorrow. And given how blindly these lemmings follow, perhaps President-elect Johnson the day after that, etc.

    London Bridge
  • We are all normal people and realize that blowing up a bridge with cars or people on it is not allowed

    This is the internet. Everyone is here, even the not-normal people. Even the not-normal people inclined to actually blow up bridges, who will interpret your "cars kill hundreds of people" statement as some kind of twisted casus belli. Everyone is here, even the carbrains looking for reasons to discredit urbanists.

    I don't think posting "art" like this is constructive, to put it mildly.

    What is your favorite radio show?
  • They call those "podcasts" nowadays. But in the spirit of your question, I'll say my favorite is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

    After defending president, Korea’s ruling party suggests scrapping presidential system
  • You were confused? In this story about democratically electing parliaments and presidents, you needed it clarified whether they were talking about North Korea or South Korea?

    Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page
  • Valve has always been pretty awful at granular privacy. For the longest time, no settings between "hide literally everything" and "broadcast to everyone I know every time I purchase or play anything."

    Still no setting between those two options, but at least it's on a game-by-game basis now.

    Outside first DOGE caucus meeting, Republican says ‘there will be some cuts’ to Social Security
  • OK, but we have to make it absolutely crystal clear who is doing this, who it's hurting, and who is benefiting. That's why reporting like this is important.

    Trump just won an election by blaming democrats for Trump's own terrible economy.

    Outside first DOGE caucus meeting, Republican says ‘there will be some cuts’ to Social Security
  • I think a good start would be to stop allowing Republicans to raid Social Security for quick cash, like they've been constantly doing since the Reagan administration.

    Outside first DOGE caucus meeting, Republican says ‘there will be some cuts’ to Social Security
  • Yes, it's a payroll tax. Your paycheck may show how much you are paying into Social Security. This is money meant to help you and others after retirement. Musk wants to take that money and instead use it to fill unrelated gaps in the federal budget, gaps caused by Trump's tax cuts for the very wealthy.

    Outside first DOGE caucus meeting, Republican says ‘there will be some cuts’ to Social Security
  • Friendly reminder that Social Security is a separate government program that funds itself.

    What Musk is talking about is stealing from Social Security in order to cut taxes elsewhere (namely cutting taxes for people like Musk).

    2024 Steam Awards Nominees Announced
  • It's unfortunate. Games don't get nominated by being apt for the category, they get nominated by being popular. Heck, last year RDR2 won in this category, and it's never had any community support beyond a bug fix patch or two.

    This whole thing is a popularity contest, for the most part. No way anyone nominating or voting in these awards has played more than a few of the eligible games.

    Trump team wants to scrap car-crash reporting rule that Tesla opposes
  • TL;DR this is related to Tesla's Autopilot (the rule "requires automakers to report crashes if advanced driver-assistance or autonomous-driving technologies were engaged within 30 seconds of impact"). Musk wants to not be held accountable for damages and casualties caused by his shitty software.
