    This Year's AssHat Is....

    Hes busy sending PMs to posters who havent been active in a while, asking them if he can take over one of their accounts for a while "for the lulz". All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

    Landman

    Youre talking about the kids deal buying wells. I'm talking about the settlement the Mexican chick got for her husband getting killed.

    Landman

    I dunno, I thought they had some whole scene where he got all clever out of nowhere and somehow outmaneuvered the lawyers? I was sure they did but I really don't want to go back and rewatch any of their scenes to confirm. I concede that if she didnt just get a few million dollars windfall I...

    Landman

    I agree that its realistic and all that; FFS shes a Mexican living in a Mexican neighborhood with all her Mexican extended family. But with that said - if you're a new mother with a newborn baby, and your baby just lost its daddy, and you just got a few million dollars windfall... but you still...

    Terrible & appealing invention ideas

    A new internet that cannot be accessed by mobile devices; only desktops and laptops. Literally, just that one change would be all it took to unfuck the modern internet.

    The Astronomy Thread

    So the MAVEN spacecraft - the one that took the closest image of 3I/Atlas - has rather suddenly gone missing. I'm sure its just a coincidence but surely even skeptics have to be looking at the list of coincidences at this point and going hmmmm...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Actually looks ok. Hollywood girlboss obsession would have been a lot less objectionable if theyd stuck to girls with actual superpowers, like this. I mean in that context, knock yourself out.

    Terrible & appealing invention ideas

    An app that when you activate the camera with the phone held in a vertical orientation, causes your phone to enter Israeli Pager Mode I recognize that there may be some hardware upgrades needed but still

    Interesting, Non Political News

    So fucking cool https://nhmu.utah.edu/articles/experts-explore-new-mushroom-which-causes-fairytale-hallucinations You owe it to yourself to read this. Absolutely wild The interesting implication this suggests... there are some specific "supernatural" observations shared across observers and...

    Depression

    I think you make a good analogy here. And I'm glad it was helpful for you. I know some find it helpful and dont dispute that. I made my comment in the context of a person who has tried more than one therapist and found them not helpful, but is being met with a string of "try a different one!"...

    Depression

    We're probably not allowed to say so in the grown up section because it may hurt someones feelings, but at some point in your exploration of therapy I hope you consider the conclusion many of us have reached, that its just a (mostly benevolent) trick, and that any good that could be "achieved by...

    And it really cant be emphasized enough just how ugly that dude is. I find his behavior 100% believable.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    This, exactly. No matter what excuse a person made for it, no matter what motivation they claimed, the reality was that they were treated as an actual RL woman by a sizable fraction of players in the game. The purpose of a system is what it does.

    Dune - Space Fascists and Sand Penises

    All the sex shit in the last 2 books is so cringe it makes me question my love of the series every time I re-read it. Its widespread in scifi of the era and its all so fucking cringe. I really wish authors of that era could have just rubbed one out and got back to writing instead of inserting...
