  • Ahh yes. Just like all those penalties for Matthew Kacsmaryk that will arrive aaaaany day now.

    Federal judges serve for life. There’s not a whole lot anybody can do about this.

    60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows
  • I assume due to venture capitalists who are not really passionate about creating good content, but more about turning a quick profit.

    Remember, it’s not just good enough that the line goes up. The line must also go up at a faster rate than previous months at all times or you’re a failure.

  • It’s the only “sport” I know of where “top-tier athletes” can get viciously drunk while actively playing in tournaments and still do alright.

    Thanks, John Daly, for proving what a farce golf truly is.

  • Just let people be happy, what the fuck. We consume by nature, it’s unavoidable. No living being has survived without consuming.

  • Mexican cartels moved into industry, agriculture, and human trafficking. Avocados, limes, and construction, for example.

    You planning on legalizing those next? You can’t legislate violent thugs away, you could legalize their entire enterprise and they’ll still have a place because the state ceded the monopoly of violence to them.

    Idiot Trump Confesses He Actually Has the Money to Post Bond
  • He’s not broke. TruthSocial is about to go public via SPAC and make him about $3.3B. Company will trade under ticker DJT.

    This is all a nice distraction to rile his base.

  • …not even. A burger doesn’t even cost a buck to make. Their margins are off the chain.

    Soda and fries are even crazier. It’s why the $1/any size drink works - going larger doesn’t impact their bottom line materially at all since the COGS are so low.

    How Teens and Parents Approach Screen Time: Most teens sometimes feel happy and peaceful when they don’t have their phone, but 44% say this makes them anxious.
  • Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

    That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

    And…

    but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

    Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

    Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

  • Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

  • 18-22 before tax per ticket imax, 16 basic matinee. Doesn’t make a diff. it’s still expensive as all fuck, and the mouse has a 75% take thanks to them strong-arming theater chains.

    Maybe if Disney lowered their take they could push more tickets and give theaters more room to breathe, but here we are.
