  • Yeah about 20 years ago.

    The vibe was different, it was racist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic jokes. Now it feels like a bunch of racists sexists bigots and homophobes telling jokes. Nobody cared about who anyone really was, it was a shittalking shitposting competition. At some point it stopped feeling like bantz, it just started to feel ugly.

    Maybe I just grew up a bit, but I at least remember it being that way.






  • People love to cherry pick this argument so hard.

    Aspartame is linked to a possible near zero to low increase in cancer risk. Not zero, theres enough evidence to say that some people if they drink a LOT over a LONG time it COULD cause something that MIGHT not have happened. There are multiple studies on Pubmed I can link to show this. However The evidence on excess sugar and carrying excess weight is ABSOLUTELY UNDENIABLE. The negative health outcomes for being overweight or having diabetes are just straight up facts.

    So pick your poison, if you have a family history of bladder, bowel, stomach or colon cancer you may want to avoid the aspartame. If your doctor has just told you you have pre-diabetes and you’re going to lose your foot or have a massive heart attack if you don’t cut out the sugar and lose some fucking weight the minuscule risk of something thats an outside chance vs that…




  • Id like to think that AI will also be used to SOLVE some of our biggest problems.

    (NOW YES IT WOULD BE A PRIVACY NIGHTMARE) But I’ve posited before that instead of traffic lights being on timers and speed limits being fixed if every car had a gps navigation system and a QI code on the roof, with recognition cameras on light poles and intersections and an AI that was free to adjust the speed limits, lights and send route suggestions to the gps units in order to promote optimal flow that we could all save time, fuel (or battery) and therefore emisions.



  • Many years ago I watched S9 to figure out why it sucked so bad. It was the absolute lack of character growth. The end of S8 all kind of wrapped everything up nicely, JD and Elliott finally got their shit together, JD finally grew the fuck up, Dr Cox finally chilled out… It was a beautiful wrap.

    Then S9 threw it all in the trash, Cox was back to being an asshole and JD was all nerdy and insecure again.

    A reboot can absolutely work provided its more of a continuation than a reboot. If they show me JD like he was 20 years ago like nothing happened in that entire time and trot out old jokes it will suck.





  • I’m Australian so being an english speaker on the internet I have an opinion on American politics because no matter how hard I try to escape it I cant. So if I have to hear about it incessantly Im going to keep throwing my half informed opinion in.

    But FUCK ME is the Harris/Walz ticket well thought out. You have a sitting Dem VP who is female and a POC with a history of being “tough on crime” and a male white late middle aged former high ranking NCO veteran with a history of some super liberal policies in his midwestern home state…
