Did JD Vance Dress As Drag Queen In Yale Law School? Photo Surfaces
  • For real, me and a friend went to a costume party as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton back in college. It was hilarious, we even acted the parts. I'll admit I was a little nervous walking into a frat house dressed like that, but the cheers we got made it all worthwhile.

    This is normal human behavior that the people he's with want to criminalize.

  • Moreover, Alexander H. Stephens and West Hughes Humphreys were never found guilty of a crime, there was no court case or conviction against them.

    They participated in an insurrection, rebellion, and gave aid or comfort to enemies. (Stephens was the vice president of the CSA and Humphreys was a judge). Folks in congress didn't want to be sitting next to a guy who just a few months ago was trying to kill them, so they started writing Section 3. It did not require a crime to be tried or a court ruling to be made, they participated in a rebellion and that's enough.

    Okay the constitution isn't written for people to wriggle out on technicality.

  • Do you think saves from a pirated copy of Baldur's Gate 3 will transfer to a legit copy?

    I've been playing BG3 since I was first able to find a torrent, using the fitgirl repack, and I think I'm going to buy this one. To play online of course, but also to support the devs for making a damn decent game.

    Would really like not to lose my progress - think it'll transfer without any problems?

    UFOs Are a Common Sight, Former Military Official Tells Congress (Non Paywall in comments)
  • You know, it's kind of like Bigfoot.

    In the 60s I'd say you could almost slightly believe that just maybe there's a big gorilla somewhere that's so remote that nobody ever discovered it.

    These days just about every frickin dirt road in the woods has a trail camera on it, lots of houses have surveillance cameras, drones, satellite images, all that stuff. And not these old Polaroids either, not film developed in a darkroom with a shoddy enlarger, HD digital is pretty much standard for all devices.

    There's just no damn way this thing could be walking around without something catching it on 1080p video.

     

    Well I imagine it's gotta be the same for the sky. Military's got a lot of eyes on the sky for a lot of reasons.

  • UFOs Are a Common Sight, Former Military Official Tells Congress (Non Paywall in comments)
  • Thought I saw a UFO one time too, took video and posted it on a message board and everything.

    They explained it was probably one of those paper lanterns that people let up at parties, which upon description completely made sense. Looked strange though, red light in the sky that was definitely way up there, not like an airplane but maybe where a low-flying one would be, too small to be an airplane though, irregular flickering, irregular movement.

    Yeah, fully explained it.

  • What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?
  • We might actually not know why magnets work.

    The formula used to prove the functionality of magnets can also be used to prove the existence of a theoretical state called a monopolar magnet - positive or negative on both sides. So either monopolar magnets can exist, even if in some esoteric circumstance, or we don't know why magnets work.

  • There's more reasons to feel old than just old memes
  • That's how I try to keep things in perspective, by saying - was I any different?

    Yes I think it's all stupid and annoying, literally everything about tiktok which the kids are soooo involved with, minecraft, fortnite, however they're dressing these days. Stupid and annoying, all of it.

    But hey there was a time when my dig-pet was the most important thing I owned, my beanie babies were "an investment", could easily play Halo for 12 hours straight, I wore giant jnco jeans with chains on them, and listened to Limp Bizkit.

    So, was I any different? Nah, it's the same.

  • Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
  • I am literally a Linux system admin, I bang on a command line interface for a living.

    But I don't use Linux at home, it's just so much work. Every single thing is complicated. Last time I really tried in earnest to switch to a full Linux setup I was somewhere in the middle of a quick and easy 24-step process to get my webcam working, compiling the drivers from a modified source - and it was just a moment that broke me. Like, I've been working on this for an hour and I know I can do it but this is stuff I don't even think about with windows.

    So I broke down and bought Windows 10. It's what I was trying to avoid, being a tight ass and didn't want to buy an new OS.

    I just don't have the patience to troubleshoot every tiny thing like a big endeavor. I can, I just don't want to. Everything I install, every peripheral I connect, it's always a big deal getting it to work. Heck with that, not worth the trouble.

  • R-Type: An 8-bit Port Comparison
  • I had a similar experience with one of the more recent NBA games.

    Like, shooting the ball was a whole process. First you initiate a gathering action or decide what kind of plant or pick you're going to make, there's a button for whether you jump or not, what kind of jump (fade away, in place, diving towards) and then timing for shot accuracy. God help you if you're going for a dunk.

    Damn it all, what ever happened to one button for pass and the other for shoot!

    I'm out here doing advanced Street Fighter combos just to throw a damn ball. It's easy as doing a tatsumaki super canceled into a neutral aerial shakunetsu hadoken. And that's just one thing, every damn mechanic in the game felt like this.

  • The Supreme Court’s Disorienting Elevation of Religion
  • Religion gets a special seat at every table.

    In basically every facet of every thing, religion (by which I mean protestant christianity) has an automatic consideration and justification. They are always presumed to be correct, and their justification for this correctness is found within their religion, so it can't be questioned.

    This is poison, and it keeps us stuck in the bronze age in terms of reasoning and thinking.

  • What's your favourite colony sim on PC?
  • If you liked Frostpunk, have a look at Ixion.

    You're on a space station, basically the same thing. Except it's one large campaign, not like Frostpunk's limited format. Honestly I think Frostpunk is the superior game, but Ixion is pretty good.

  • Truth.
  • I play games online with a guy from Norway and he was telling me somebody from his town had an imported Dodge Ram.

    And I said let me guess - he revs the engine at stop lights, spins out of every single parking lot, and roars through town like a maniac. "How did you know?" They all drive that way! I guess even in Norway they do. I think maybe they get a manual with the vehicle.

  • Ocasio-Cortez endorses Biden's reelection campaign, sending a strong signal of Democratic unity
  • Anything else would do nothing but make chaos, it's a really bad look if your own party doesn't back you anymore. Same with the VP, a president dropping their VP would also be a really bad look.

    Cry all you want about "old white guy" but for this election he's the shoo-in. Yeah he's too old, I think so too, yeah I want a real progressive. But damn it all, he's done pretty great stuff and damn the democrats for not shouting about it more.

    For a party to primary their own president, that would signal nothing but weakness.

  • thought you stood a chance?
  • Heck I remember when you had to read "bleep bloops". POST codes came in beeps, and that's how you knew why the computer wouldn't start.

    Sometimes I miss em, wish it gave those in addition to the modern indicators. Then I could just tell without even looking.
