Donkey Kong Country 2 - Mining Melancholy

I've heard Kamala Harris get referred to as "Commiemala" quite a few times in the lead up to the election, even though she's nowhere close to the vicinity of being communist.

Twitter before Musk had "leftist" policy lmao.

I got permabanned from pre-Musk Twitter for telling Donald Trump Junior to be more like JFK Junior and get in a small plane.

I've come across a few chuds who have been confused or straight up unhappy with Trump's cabinet picks. I hate coming off like a smug I-told-you-so lib saying this, but wtf were these people expecting by voting for the guy?

The US government has always been a clown shitshow. Trump has cut right to the chase and wants to hire actual clowns to head government departments, and now people are over it.

Are the breakfast combos still sold in styrofoam trays? I remember always having to be careful cutting hotcakes because it was very easy to cut into the styrofoam below, leaving (even more) microplastic fragments in my food.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how they think the government is going to make McDonald's go back to using animal fats. Like didn't they (like most fast food corpos) switch to hydrogenated oils years ago on their own volition as a cost-cutting/profit-increasing measure? Do conservatives hate the free market now?

I need to get back into OSM. Pokemon Go was the reason I initially started contributing. The game uses (used?) OSM map data, and certain Pokemons will spawn near certain biomes (water, woods, etc).

My little cousin played the hell out of PG around 2017-2018, and they mostly played it around the big park in our town. At the time, the park appeared on OSM (and by extension PG) as a featureless green polygon with a few roads and footpaths. In reality it has a bunch of woods, streams, a pond, playground, public pool etc. So I did a quick readup on how to add stuff to OSM and I gave the park a digital makeover. I even walked around the footpaths with my phone and marked them out with the GPS so that they would appear in the map more accurately.

Unfortunately it was quite a while before Pokemon Go updated its OSM database, and my cousin lost interest in the game by then. But I kept at contributing for quite a few years, adding random stuff in spurts and stopping for a month or two

I believe Kyle Soller has spent a majority of his life in the UK, so he developed an ear for their accents.

Sounds like my coworker who argued that veganism kills more animals than meat does, due to the pest control measures that might be necessary to protect crops.

As if pest control isn't a thing in the meat industry from the feed crops, to the feed lots, to the barns to the slaughterhouses. They think the cattle that made the steak they're eating just materialized out of thin air or something and didn’t require a shit ton of energy and resources to grow it.

Semi-related: How come it seems like 90% of the people who say they "don't support the Democrats or the Republicans" turn out to be chuds, while 10% are comrades?

I'm obviously exaggerating that number, but any time I hear that take, I have to brace myself because more often than not it's followed up with gross opinions about trans people or immigrants.

Where was Melania?

Yeah like the Walmart has a whole end cap of Great Value versions of name brand candy, and the prices are like 79 cents or whatever. Which is what the name brands were in the before times.

The best phone I ever owned was a Xiaomi Mi9 that I got in 2020, right before the US government banned Xiaomi products. Got it new at Target for about $90

I had a T-Mobile prepaid plan on a drugstore Android phone from 2010-2012. The data usage app they preloaded on it was almost a day or two behind, so if it showed that you were close to hitting your cap, chances are you probably already hit it if you had been using your phone a lot in the past 24-48 hours. I caught on when the app told me that I had almost two gigabytes left (back when you could stretch a gig out quite a bit if you stayed away from video apps or downloading big files), then I got a text from them an hour later saying that I hit my cap.

Granted I was on a plan that had "unlimited" data that throttled my phone to like 128 kilobits per second when I hit the cap, but it was still deceitful as fuck for people who were on plans that charged extra if they went past their cap.

It's crazy that phone companies are still pulling this shit.

Whenever someone says "I was a leftist when I was younger, I became more right wing as I got older", what they really mean is they were always fashy pieces of shit. They just stopped hiding.

I was gonna say the text for the "ad" looks way too clean and straight, and doesn't match the artifacting of the rest of the image.

E.coli from McDonald's, specifically.

Elimination of overtime pay for all salaried workers

The other day I "joked" with my friend that this will be how Donald implements his "no tax on overtime" campaign promise. He'll just get rid of overtime protections entirely. Can't tax something that nobody has.

12th century peasant mindset lmao.

Reminds me of a video I saw some years back where somebody built a cat maze inside the their walls of their house. Like my first thought was "cool but what are you gonna do if your cat gets hurt or dies in there, or starts using it as their litterbox?"
