Canada’s speaker resigns after inviting man who fought in Nazi unit to Zelenskyy visit
  • There's absolutely zero evidence that anyone knew before he was invited. And after it was revealed, not one political figure in Canada has said something along the lines of "good people on both sides".

    As a Canadian sure it's a guff, and the guy paid a price for his mistake and didn't fight it, but compared to America I'll take shit like this 8 days a week.

  • Space Exploration has ruined me. (Discussion)
  • Not gonna lie, I didn't notice what sub this was in when I clicked the link.

    As I read the subject, I found myself also feeling dismayed that we hadn't discovered any signs of intelligent life, and then I got to the bit about the jetpack.

  • Trump confuses Obama and Biden in speech, warns Biden will lead U.S. into 'World War II'
  • I know you're being antagonized, but I object to this statement. I used to read headlines/excepts on Reddit about "so-and-so thinks this and said that!" and then I'd go watch an unedited video of the speech, and I was like, "that's your takeaway?" It's always some shit like:

    Interviewer "Do you think if Russia launches nukes, it will impact Medicaid?"

    Interviewee: "I think if there's nukes in the air, Medicaid will be the least of our concerns."

    News headline "POLITICAL FIGURE ISN'T CONCERNED ABOUT CUTS TO MEDICAID!".

  • The vast majority of NFTs are now worthless, new report shows
  • Well no, in my example the shirt is the image and the signature on it is the NFT bit. Physically, it's just a bit of ink, but the shirt itself is no different than one you can go pickup at the store.

  • The vast majority of NFTs are now worthless, new report shows
  • Try telling that to sports memorabilia collectors though.

    "Look at my hockey jersey!" "Yeah, so? I have the same one." "Yeah but you're wasn't signed by Wayne Gretsky."

    Or even trading cards, or comics. Or hell, even plain w-shirts with a brand logo on it for $250. People assign arbitrary values to stuff all the time. I don't understand it at all, but there's a whole ton of people that just eat that shit up like it's candy.

  • Texas teacher fired for showing Anne Frank graphic novel to eighth-graders
  • The graphic novel, written by Ari Folman and illustrated by David Polonsky, adapts the diary of 13-year-old Anne Frank, who wrote while hiding in an annexe in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Eighth-grade students were reportedly shown a section of the graphic novel where Frank reflected on her own genitals and wanted to see a female friend’s breasts, according to KFDM.

    So basically exactly like all of the 13 yr olds in the class, who are probably taught at home how their body parts are shameful.

  • ‘Mastermind’ Taylor Swift drives hoards of fans to voter registration site
  • There was a video I saw a while back of a look-alike getting swarmed by fans, fans who were bawling about meeting her, it's just fucking nuts. I saw Harrison Ford once from a distance, and I was like "hey cool, I saw Harrison Ford", but some people just go apeshit.

  • World's First Fully Modular Gaming Handheld!
  • So I don't game a lot and I'm not sure what that car driving game is, but I noticed at ~1:30 his left thumb is moving all over the place and the car keeps driving in a straight line? It doesn't seem like any of his hand/finger movements match what's on the screen, am I crazy?

  • KVM: what is your favorite?
  • A dedicated KVM would be a better option but I’m not willing to spend that much money.

    Honestly the worst part about a dedicated KVM, at least for a home setup, is the 30lbs of thick bulky cables.

  • Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told CBS News today that the so-called Chinese spy balloon that flew over the U.S. seven months ago wasn’t spying at all.
  • The article you linked says, multiple times, that it was a spy balloon. No one is arguing whether China did or did not use it to spy on America except you.

    Your only argument seems to be that a F1 race car while parked is no longer a race car because it's not currently racing.

  • Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told CBS News today that the so-called Chinese spy balloon that flew over the U.S. seven months ago wasn’t spying at all.
  • After the Navy raised the wreckage from the bottom of the Atlantic, technical experts discovered the balloon's sensors had never been activated while over the Continental United States.

    On May 21, President Biden remarked, "This silly balloon that was carrying two freight cars' worth of spying equipment was flying over the United States, and it got shot down, and everything changed in terms of talking to one another."

    So, Martin asked, "Bottom line, it was a spy balloon, but it wasn't spying?" Milley replied, "I would say it was a spy balloon that we know with high degree of certainty got no intelligence, and didn't transmit any intelligence back to China."

    If you're so dead set on it being a conspiracy theory, why are you posting articles that debunk your own claim?

  • Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?
  • How a being of inordinate power and knowledge even exists would 'feel' or 'think' is indeed incomprehensible to us. It's hubris to believe an entity with the power to create a universe could look down, at a single point in time, at a single place in the universe, and think "I'm really angry that creature masturbated" or "That woman showed her face in public, well she's dead to me now".

    And that's exactly what religion wants us to believe. That we're somehow special in the universe, and there's some grand entity that watches over every single little thing we do throughout the blip of our lives in the eternity of the cosmos. It's honestly fucking bonkers.

  • Just installed EndeavourOS last night! BSPWM, Alacritty, MOC and BTop
