I do know MAGA men have never stepped foot in a kitchen their entire lives, but I find that explanation a little too far fetched. He probably knows what vinegar is from the Lays potato chips he doesn’t buy since they’re too sour and hurt his excessively thin skin.

However, I do like the idea of him walking around with a bottle of vinegar, being too afraid to touch it.

What the fuck was that choice? Like… what, kinda smelly but edible enough that you could fool security by taking a little sip or something? Why not go with white vinegar in a water bottle? Actually, why vinegar at all? I have so many questions.

Also obligatory fuck that guy.

Edit: my leading theory is someone sold it to him as something dangerous, or there’s a 4chan rumor that it hurts witches or something.

Every morning, instead of pouring ourselves a bowl of cereal, we get a bowl of war crimes.

Hehe, it’s great work btw. You can only do so much with round balloons and I can’t imagine fire or logs in any other ballonish shape. Lol

My thought exactly. Although worms coming out of them and doing weird stuff to lady liberty there.

The immigration part isn’t new, but her economic stance… she has said Margret Thatcher is an inspiration. It’s just that bad. Her views on gender are also quite backwards, which is ironic given she’s the first female Japanese PM.

Let’s say hypothetically, a person like myself went full dictator in the US and seized hundreds of oil tankers across the world these in the name of fighting global warming. What would happen?

There’s lower hanging fruit like kidnapping billionaires and whatnot, but it’s a fun thought experiment if the left actually had someone the way the right pretends they do.

That’s a bummer to bring up. Except he admitted to what he did (which by 2025 standards is super benign) and felt shame over it. I don’t get the same sense here. What did Franken end up doing anyway? Podcasting?

Thinking about it, it’s probably not a terrible move on his part, overall. Dems can probably retain the governorship and this frees him to do other things. His replacement is probably worse, but it’s not like he’s retiring (although with how awful people are to him and his family, taking a break might be a good personal move… he has compassion and the attacks on his family probably really hurt).

Well, no, they also condemn good guys. They’re just right in this case, lol

Yeah I was gonna say, also didn’t he just rip off what Valve was sharing for free from their VR lab experimentation like 10 years ago?

Yup! Return to normal was such a dumb rallying cry for Biden. I was rather vocal about that to people I knew during the 2020 primary but by the time my state got to vote, he was pretty much the candidate.

Honestly I figured the reason they caved in was that party leaders knew it would fuel midterms to make people suffer, but they themselves didn’t want to look that way so they had safe seats to be the fall guys. So yeah, duh.

Pretty sure people here can see the writing on the wall and will at least vote in the primary. Not sure what good it’ll do since tactics like that work way too well on average voters, but might as well try.

I can confirm this Christmas season that extended family members do in fact click on recommendations and so on, reaffirming that awful approach.

The amount of random crap we got… sigh. The thought counts, I guess.

In my case, it’s because people don’t like all my pictures of the wall behind my computer screen.

The irony if I stopped using Reddit because there wasn’t new content, at least not in popular. Once I saw the same stupid, fake story on wholesome for the seventh time in a week from yet another repost bot, I left. Lemmy revisits shit from like 10 years ago but at least if there’s a bullshit wholesome repost, it’d promptly get shit on. Lol

I think we’re all kinda beat down by life, so I don’t really judge people on it. I just am not one of them, haha. (But I don’t even watch TV or movies much so I’m admittedly a weirdo).

My dad entered in codes for me when I was really little, but that’s kind of another thing entirely. I don’t think little kids have an achievement oriented sorta version of play, so anything goes with them. Once you’re older, that dopamine rush just hits differently, though.

In education you could also consider it a form of scaffolding. Enabling someone to do something they normally can’t do is a form of development, like giving handicaps in games and stuff can foster the skills to not need them eventually.

I actually thought about that after my comment and summoning a tank from nowhere was fun. At least for a little bit… but maybe mostly for the novelty of it all. Also I was like, 12.

I suppose. When I’m referring to cheats, it’s more in regards to invulnerability, infinite resources, etc., which seem to sap the point of having a game in the first place. Like making the fun parts into a grind, rather than the other way around.

That said, I’ll also say sometimes part of the challenge is the grind, so it depends. You have to pick your own poison, right?

Like, take Silksong for example. You lose out on the full experience if you mod out the annoying run from bench to boss, it’s like a 40 second annoyance built in punishment. But I get why you’d do that-- it’s technically there for a reason but I get it. Hell, even the difficulty adjustment mods I can understand.

But making the bosses die in one hit or making yourself invulnerable? Now you’ve lost me, that’s like a core element of the game; you might as well just watch someone else play it because what’s the point.
