  • Cobra Commander, early days.

  • Nintendo sued by players who say they should get any tariff refunds received by the US government

    Jump

  • If you're looking for a new rabbit hole to explore...theres an entire crowd of people who firmly believe that the government creates a corporate version of you when you're born, and that your name in CAPS on the birth certificate is evidence of this.

  • What is your "hunch"?

    Jump

  • My dude, it's much MUCH higher than that

  • Unconventional driving routes in the interior? Interesting gravel/logging roads?

    Jump

  • Watching this for interesting motorcycle routes!

  • If you had a small part from a song play every time you entered a room with other people, what would you want your theme to be?

    Jump

  • Without getting in a fight. Why is it called coming out of the closest? Where did it begin? I mean why not a garagde or a bedroom or something? How did it become a reference to homosexuals?

    Jump

  • My best guess...

    From "skeletons in the closet". Colloquially, meaning to have secrets.

  • What is your favorite quote, proverb, or piece of wisdom?

    Jump

  • "Say what you mean, mean what you say."

  • Congratulations to me

    Jump

  • No one should feel pressured to the point of taking a fake pull. If you don’t want to smoke, just pass...that’s normal. Taking a fake pull only wastes it. No need to pretend, just chill and enjoy the vibes.

  • Congratulations to me

    Jump

  • You also can't fake a bong rip.

  • If you could have a superpower, what would it be? I'll start: to be invisible.

    Jump

  • You would definitely enjoy Preacher. Graphic novels are great, show is better than ok.

    Guy ends up gaining "the word of God" as an ability

  • If you could have a superpower, what would it be? I'll start: to be invisible.

    Jump

  • There's definitely an inherent paw clause to this power...unintended consequences galore!

    Probability has more than one side, bend it one way and its also being bent away from another.

  • If you could have a superpower, what would it be? I'll start: to be invisible.

    Jump

  • Bend probability to my will.

    Example: Jump out of a plane (see a bowl of petunias and a sperm whale on the way down), bend probability so that against all odds; I start to fly.

    What's the male version of makeup that makes a man look attractive?

    Jump

  • Cologne, worn moderately.

    Smelling good is a huge part of being attractive. You can legit make heads turn by wearing a scent that doesn't reek, doesn't smell like everyone else, and compliments your own body oils and smells.

  • WestJet to start charging for reclining seats.

    Jump

  • I'm imagining being in the row directly behind the last row of reclining seats....its not a pretty scene

  • What are you doing to get ready for winter?

    Jump

  • Gently rocking in the corner with my head in my hands… sobbing angrily, furious that bears just get to sleep through this shit.

  • What is the best way small business' should use the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • The Fediverse demographic skews very heavily away from anything that smells even remotely like promotion or sales (and especially AI).

    Your best bet, and possibly the only meaningful way, to leverage the Fediverse as a business is to use it for thought leadership. Write, post, comment about specific meaningful things your business is centered around. Do not promote, do not use contextual links, do not direct people to your website for more info.

    This isn't a place for direct lead gen at scale. It's a place to accumulate like minded people, and work towards those people talking about you inside their own networks.

    It's the long game, recognition and association; not engagement and monetization.

    Let's look back. Why did Occupy Wall Street fail? What can be learned from that?

    Jump

  • That second point needs to be yelled from the rooftops. Trump is the convenient (and valid) target to direct the angst at; follow the money though, and shit gets real

  • Goldman stands by call that consumers will bear the brunt of tariffs after Trump blasts bank's economist

    Jump

  • This movie was ahead of its time. I could watch this and Spaceballs on repeat as a kid

  • Cory Booker’s message to the Democratic Party: Don’t bend the knee to Trump | CNN Politics

  • Right before he bends over
