The current most viewed clip:

    I mean, who hates fruit?

    Well, maybe he was trying to be edgy, or something? Or maybe he has a secret food allergy?

    That's an interesting theory... maybe he just doesn't know how to enjoy the sweet and juicy

    LOUD MID-SENTENCE LAUGH TRACK

    or he could just be a fruitophobe

    A fruitophobe...? What do you mean?

    Yeah, I've heard of a fear of flying, but this is ridiculous!

    Maybe it's a fear of commitment

    5 seconds of silence and then suddenly ends

Have republicans always complained they're losing their Fourth Amendment rights, or is this a new thing?

I think 10% of the municipality had no power for twice as long. Not feeling super about living in not in my backyard times

I mostly play indie games, so this had a nice ambience to it

Nitpicks: For me the melee wasn't fun enough to be playable until I hit level 100 and looked up how to stagger and tank everything, and it wasn't much better after that. The game encouraged me to cheese everything to avoid dying to use checkpoints, instead of embracing them as I expected. And if you get lost in a demigod base, the time commitment feels like a shift of work

I like watching Horde Chess (player 1 has 36 pawns) sometimes, because it feels like watching checkers vs chess

    Still, I think the model of disrupting inner cities like was/is used in Ottawa is going to be employed here in the states pretty soon.

If police chiefs are actually expected to criticize criminals, I think the protestors are so lazy that it'll be enough on it's own to prevent them. They have easier alternatives that won't get them assaulted in non-pacifist cities

Sorry, this comment is private.

May as well ask it here. Are his reviews better if you've already played the game, or haven't?

Don't know if you'll agree with it, but here's a similar article: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a37696261/leaving-recovering-from-q-anon/

circuit  ·  1132 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Netflix employees walk out to protest Dave Chappelle’s special.

Kept my post as little about Chapelle as possible, but everything I did say ended up being inaccurate. Was going off memory and assuming about twitter, the team terf was included in the routine (and the laughing about being cancelled was a live reaction to seeing an audience of fans so I fell for a headline there)

Transcript:

The first vaccine joke gives context that many of his jokes are going to attempt to offend everyone. If he wants criticism, over half of the routine is intentionally giving people a lot to work with. The payoff by omission is "trust me." But I'll stick with not defending it

After seeing Squid Game in Roblox, it could make you worse?

Great post as always, would hope anyone interested in creating NFTs would also appreciate this background, especially considering the flood of spam I've seen in so many crypto communities

I tried to look it up again, but couldn't find anything good:

Liberals wanted ranked ballots (which I would've been fine with because I just want fptp gone), but then they remembered they're politicians and so didn't do anything

I always see the news willing to blame bad stuff on poor people, so it's more about who never gets blamed

circuit  ·  1531 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: #Bugski? comments link in top bar now just goes to posts link

This happened to me a couple days ago (or maybe yesterday).

Clicking comments on profile pages goes to /user/globalcomments which I think is error page

Clicking comments while reading a post such as this goes to /pub/globalcomments which I think is blank page

Clicking comments while reading the global feed takes you to /global/globalcomments (which I think is the same as the global post feed instead of comments)

Clicking comments from hubski.com/ takes you to hubski.com/globalcomments which seems to be working right

I'm not really using any site right now, do you think I should wait for the "beta" to end before it'll be worth giving a serious try? Or does it just mean they're ironing out the last of bugs?

"What's keeping us from using them?"

If you're "trained" to do something a better way, you'll take it for granted. Once whoever trained you is gone, you'll wonder why the next wave of new employees are relative deadweight even though you "figured out everything on your own." Once you have more than one weak link you'd have been better off doing things the mindless foolproof way, even if it means everyone has to work twice as hard to accomplish half as much. How much foresight are you using? It's going to be chaos after that

The chat rooms of old are back imo

I think I remember seeing basically the same messages in 90s news websites' comment sections, except with less focus on Catholicism now. Plenty of people I know from high school would join that chat depending on how much free time they have, instead they're copy/pasting their political memes on Facebook.

Have they always been able to scam followers out of money via gun sales?
