Lisa Murkowski and Rand ‘Satan’s Little Helper’ Paul, voting for a war powers resolution??

What the what? I wanna meet their shoulder angels and give them a big old smooch on the lips for that.

Second the req against Brave, the CEO is actively a fascist sympathizer.

Mullvad and Librewolf are both better, especially since Brave is Chrome-based and is going to stop supporting Manifest v2 when Google finally swings the axe.

Ooh. Logical fallacy referee meme. That’s cool, I’m stealing these. Thanks.

More like a misprinted calendar is right once a year.

People who are afraid and desperate will do anything to save themselves, even if it’s an unproven treatment.

Fear does things to our brains, things that override good sense, perception, and logic. This is exacerbated if we’ve been primed to react to a problem by someone in authority whom we’ve mistrusted.

No one is immune to being afraid and making bad decisions because of their fear, especially people who have been deliberately kept in a permanent state of fear like Conservatives.

Remember. This is a weakness in the skull of every member of our species. You are not immune to it, and neither am I. No one is, no matter how much we might wish we were.

Exactly!! Literally, add a few thousand microfauna, and the problem would balance itself. But nooooo, because no one in this fucking regime passed high school biology.

Republicans, propping up Mamdani?

Interesting strategy. But you know what they say, never interrupt your enemy while they’re making a fatal mistake.

So, training AI to read hands more correctly, or trying to make an AI sign language interpreter.

Literally what carried them to popularity after 9/11 was they siezed the chance to make the public irrationally terrified of an (all things considered) benign and innocuous minority. Their whole platform FOR THE ENTIRE 21ST CENTURY has been, “Fuck anybody who isn’t us, and that goes double for Muslims.”

Highly likely, actually. SteamOS is Arch-based, and if a user installs things through the AUR on their deck (like a password manager or a VPN that isn’t part of the official upstream repo), then it would be infected exactly the same as any other Arch-derived OS.

Ex-Mormon here. I’d like to point out that the author used the incorrect full name of the aforementioned cult in the article. My likeliest guess is that they’re someone who was never Mormon and has had little to no contact with a practicing Mormon in their life. So, in the interest of fair journalism, they looked for a cursory glance at Mormonism’s usual critics and the church’s rebuttal to those critics. They may have used the label ‘anti-Mormon’ with the same casualness that someone would use ‘pro-life’ in an article.

Looking at the author’s profile and other articles on Salon, it seems like this guess holds the most weight.

Do you know what screw worms are?

They’re blowflies with a parasitic larval stage. The flies land on cattle, usually areas where they have a hard time biting or grooming, and lay their eggs in a wound. This is unusual, given that most blowflies lay their eggs in festering, putrid carcasses. These guys prefer hosts that are still alive. In fact, they prefer to attack soft, vulnerable areas. Like the eyes, the peritoneum, or even the bellybuttons of newborn calves.

In that wound, these maggots–roughly 2/3 of an inch long (or 17mm)–will hatch. Wanna know how they get their name? Their little mouth hooks act like the points of woodscrews. Their bodies have little ridges, like a woodscrew. They will burrow deeper into infected flesh, like a woodscrew. Deeper, deeper, deeper, to get to richer blood and flesh. And when they mature, they shred that flesh on the way out. A single female can lay up to 500 eggs in a single landing.

Did I mention they can infect dogs, cats, and humans? Especially babies and disabled people who spend their time outside?

Personally? Fuck whatever their politics are, no one deserves that kind of torture. Flystrike does NOT give a shit.

Shooting Nazis is a proud, patriotic tradition.

Why does Greg Bovino’s face look like that? He looks like someone took a tuft of dog fur off the carpet, glued it to someone’s pinky toe, and then drew an angry face on it.

Speaking strictly as an ex-Mormon, I’m going to have to disagree with you there. Personal lived experience, they’re definitely Christian. They’re also a cult, and the religion is based on a pack of lies, but no bones about it; they do, in fact, believe in Jesus. They put Joseph Smith on the same level as St. Peter, but they don’t worship him.

I don’t get why people say they aren’t Christian. Every time someone tries to explain it to me, it’s a wildly different set of guidelines every time.

That’s Jehovah’s Witnesses. Mormons actually believe in 3 heavens: the Celestial Kingdom (for gold-medal Mormons only), the Terrestrial Kingdom (for regular Christians and basically decent people), and the Telestial Kingdom (made up word for the free tier of their holy subscription service. This is the one your buddy Jesus already paid for.)

Their version of Hell is actually extremely hard to get into. You basically have to look God in the face as one of his prophets and tell him where he can stick it. AFAIK, the canonical shitlist in Mormonism is, like, three names long.

There’s a reason why so many comic conventions stop off in SLC. When you’re not allowed to have kinky sex, drink, or smoke to let off tension, the really devout ones have their interests come out in very creative ways.

Mormons are the biggest god damn nerds you will ever meet, because they’re not allowed to have other hobbies.

Battlestar Galactica and Stargate both had Mormon writers. So did Dungeons and Dragons.

Half the Mormons I know hate his guts. But that’s sample size and social bias, probably. The only Mormons I willingly still associate with hate the dude’s fucking guts.

The church should keep its concerns strictly supporting orphans and windows–I mean widows.

Lemmy’s favorite horse returns!
