Peanut had been living with owner Mark Longo for seven years
Man. What a feel-bad story. There’s a certain kind of person who takes glee in destroying others’ joy and they will use any technicality to get the excuse to do so all while blathering “the law is the law, the law is the law.”
Seven years. What a shameful travesty.
typically a racist dog whistle
I’m preeetty sure that’s just the name of the breed but there are some serious racial undertones and associations going on:

I haven’t seen that episode of south park but I wouldn’t trust the south park take on gender issues. Contrapoints on Youtube is a great explainer for uninitiated straight folks who want to learn about trans perspectives.
I saw a video the other day explaining why he always brings up Hannibal Lecter seemingly out of the blue when discussing immigration, and this confirms the hypothesis: Trump does not understand that political asylum means something different than insane asylum
Imagine dying for Trump only for him to claim you never died
both sides
ignores the rest of the comment
Some things truly cannot be unseen.
Also, it creates social media engagement much like this thread, so that whether or not somebody believes the truth (that JD personally documented the experience of losing his virginity to a musty piece of furniture) they’re still engaging with the idea the whole time they read and respond. That’s called memetic fitness.
The behavior hasn’t substantially changed, but the narrative is shifting. Trump took office on the back of a wave of sardonic, nihilistic memes. He was constantly excused for being bigoted and unintelligible because his dork enlightenment cronies could cynically spin everything as nine dimensional water backgammon. The fact they weren’t making sense was a plus, not a minus.
Biden dropping out and team Kamala stepping up so hard so fast on the meme front has completely taken the right by surprise. They weren’t mobilized to defend against this. So now they’re on the back foot, the memes from the mainstream left are sharper and meaner than Trumpworld has ever had to deal with before, and the messaging is laser focused.
Spouting nonsense only works if it looks like you’re winning by doing so. Don just keeps showing how old, tired, and weak he really is, so the cracks are forming. Just think of all the political capital he’s spent trying to make diapers cool, and then he makes a VP pick who Snopes has confirmed literally fucked a couch on live video.
Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn’t Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn’t affect you.
Part of the reason conservatives are so obsessed with policing the lives of others is that doing so is the only context in which they’re “allowed” to think about these taboo things. As long as they carry the shield of hate in their heart, they can go back to thinking and talking about it again and again and again. No, no, they’re not obsessed with gayness because they like it or want to fantasize about it, noooo, they are just really into virtue and purity. /s 🙄
Classic TERF island headline. “Trans people turn billionaires into conservatives.” 🙄
The intelligence apparatus of the West has gotten up to some hinky things in the past, but 1. Not to the same degree by a long shot when it comes to end user devices (they’re far more likely to monitor communications from datacenters and cooperative platforms) and 2. Even if you’re already compromised by 1 nation state, why would you want to be compromised by 2?
He did another one where they order a pizza. It’s phenomenal
But if they do that then they’ll go up to three stars and it’s even harder to get away then! When you get up to four stars they shut down the bridges and send helicopters and at five stars they start sending tanks–
I jest, but the rapid military escalation of conflict in the GTA games is reflective of the “send enough dudes until the bad guy is dead” modus operandi of American law enforcement.
What I am saying is: either use your guns or make them illegal if you don’t use them anyway.
The people clutching the guns are the same ones with the “blue line flag punisher skull” tattoos and decals. Maybe if the Black Panther party made a comeback though.
Well, Seymour, I made it. Despite your directions.
Part of the reason I like text based better is because it gives me the power of search, literally everywhere. Too many complicated GUIs give me headaches and make me intensely frustrated as I click around seemingly at random, digging into menus or hunting around buttons with labels or icons that I don’t recognize.
On the command line, I can just start searching and jump straight to the thing I’m looking for instead of forgetting what I was doing wandering around in GUI land.
This is a really good and entertaining post and thanks for making it
As a guy who burned out super, super, super, super hard to the point that thinking about code–even though I’m good at it–just makes me feel baaaad, I still can’t help but chuckle. Like, in my case, providing what I did to the code world was literally all I could do before I stopped being able to contribute because it hurts inside my brain lol.
But at the same thing the fucking most hilarious part of it is you’re right 🤣 People do just not see software as “real” if it involves any reading and typing outside a comment box. Buttons and visualizations are truly everything if one wants to code and be taken seriously by anyone but other hackers. 😭😂 I wonder how much low hanging fruit there is out there of software that people could just make a paid GUI for and make a killing
No, the cruelty is the point. The kind of people who made this happen have common sense just like the rest of us, that 7-year-old squirrel didn’t have rabies. They refuse to make exceptions or use common sense because they specifically want to hurt others.
