  • 'I am racist and did it on purpose': Belgian powerlifter sabotaged during world championship by Lithuanian staff member

    Jump

  • Even after she went to bat for him and tried to shield him from hate online when she thought it was an innocent mistake, he still went ahead and said that. Yeah, real "piece of shit" move on her part, and a totally cool and normal move on his 😒

  • A new version of Amnesia: The Dark Descent may be coming later this year

  • An anti-trans activist lied about a trans athlete injuring cis women. Now she has to pay the price ($95,000).

  • Evil cunt deserved a lot more than a 95,000 fine. But at least it's something...

    TIL that conflict between farmers and elephants in India brings an increased mortality rate for the farmers; their alcohol intake increases, which in turn increases the lethality of animal encounters

    It must be damn near impossible to come up with interesting bedtime stories for your kids if you live in a fictional fantasy world in which magic, elves and imps are real

  • It's just a question

    Jump

  • In this case, "sucking dick" is a euphemism for "having your ass handed to you constantly and easily". Kinda like how "I fucked the dog" means "I messed that up badly" and not "I literally fucked a dog".

  • Deja Vu

  • Why do the French make so much toilet-scented perfume?

    Jump

  • It's the only scent that can balance out the stankbreath caused by a steady diet of garden pests and cigarettes.

  • What is "woke ideology"?

    Jump

  • A shibboleth, whereby whoever uses the term unironically is saving you hours of interpersonal inquiry, with the term acting as an archive that instantly uncompresses like a zip bomb, filling in every blank you have about the person on every conceivable topic. Their stance on climate change, LGBTQA+ people, the Civil Rights Act, the JFK assassination, women in STEM, vaccines, science, intellectuals and experts, DEI, the history of slavery and colonialism, Israel/Palestine, the green M&M, brown people playing cartoon characters in live action remakes, you name it and you'll have a file in your now-bloated mental hard drive that pertains to it. It's saved normal people decades of pointless droning conversation and lets us get right back to whatever we were doing when the imbecilic cunt deigned to interrupt us with his drooling conspiracism.

  • The pally way they've been replying to obvious nazi accounts is so disturbing.

  • It's just a question

    Jump

  • I think the environmental knock-on effect of wiping out all gorillas might cause more than one human to die in the future, directly or indirectly.

    Also, gorilla dicks are small and they cum pretty much instantly, so you could easily get through all gorillas on Earth in an afternoon. Matt Walsh might get it done in 20 minutes, what with his extensive experience of sucking huge amounts of dick on Twitter.

  • The Internet is changing again?

    Jump

  • Unless Elon Musk has committed seppuku, I don't know what the hell that statement even means.

  • Firefox is back on Twitter

    Jump

  • The internet is changing again, so we’re here as an independent voice for our users and the open internet.

    Just what the fuck does this even mean? X is worse than when they left the first time 🤔

  • Meta engineering manager caught sexting teen - Suspect helped build “digital experiences for kids” at Meta.

  • To be fair, I bet he absolutely nailed that job. It's like Hannibal Lector being in charge of catering.

  • Great wee game, def worth checking out if you're into that sorta thing.

  • Why is a mixed race immigrant to at least 3 different countries trotting out racist gibberish about black people like he's a white nationalist on the Steam forums?

  • Count Binface will not be allowed to sit in the Commons wearing his space costume and bin head

    Jump

  • Yet it's apparently fine for Farage to cosplay as Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars? 😒

  • Italian officials handed jail terms for Genoa bridge disaster that killed 43

    Jump

  • Can someone fill me in on what the charges were actually for? I can't find any specific info, even on Wikipedia. Just says they were charged with negligent homicide, but I don't understand what it is that they did (or didn't do). The main dude was already in jail since 2013 for a similar disaster, so I don't see how he could be held responsible for maintenance of the bridge in 2018 🤷‍

    Italy also prosecuted scientists for not predicting and warning about an earthquake, and then there's the Amanda Knox case, so I'm automatically sceptical of anything the Italian courts do or say.

    If a famous person or character's likeness is copyrighted and you need to license it to use it, could you find a real-life lookalike and say you modelled your character off of that person instead?

  • GOG Fighting the Good Fight

    Jump

  • Witcher 3 hard copies required activation to your GOG account before they could work. Hitman (2016) was 70% locked behind the worst DRM in human history, but they sold it on their store until they were pressured by customers not to.

    And Devotion still ain't 'preserved' because the CCCP hivemind told them not to have it on their site, and they obeyed instantly.

    GOG can suck all the dicks with that self-righteous bullshit.

  • If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone?

    Jump

  • | and they’re also easier on the eyes

    This is my main reason for preferring to read on e-readers. A book is a long-ass journey, and to be staring at a regular screen for that long can be painful business.

    I also like that there's at least the suggestion of old-school physical connection to the book. It's a device that does just one thing (and is very good at it as a result), and you find yourself treating it the way you used to treat a paper book. I guess it's the same sort of "positive friction" you get when you listen to vinyl or something like that. Makes the experience a bit nicer. Like, yeah, you could open notepad on a smartphone and read the complete works of Shakespeare for free in Courier New font, having to scroll every 2 paragraphs, but who the fuck wants to do that?

    The basic form factor of the book has been perfected over centuries, and e-readers emulate it to a fair degree.

    I think most e-readers are waterproof, too 🤔 One would hope so, at least! Reading in the tub or on a beach is one of the benefits of its portability.
