Bullshit. It's painfully obvious that this was either written by a dog person or is using a tired stereotype to get clicks and make an easy joke.

I usually like Pizzacake.

People seem to have forgotten (perhaps deliberately in the case of tankies) that when Russia first invaded Ukraine and still thought they would win in three days, they started digging mass graves. That Z symbol they carry on their tanks is a symbol of ethnic cleansing. They want to replace the Ukrainian people with Russians.

I don't "hate" Coldplay, I nothing them. I don't care for their sound at all, but am routinely forced to listen to it in stores. I resent being forced to listen to music, but don't hate the bands themselves.

The stores who play ten songs on a loop can go fuck themselves, however.

This is particularly poignant as an autistic person. Being told to calm down when there's fucking nuclear reaction levels of anxiety going on in your brain is a level of condescension that would set off even the calmest motherfucker on the planet if they could experience this for even 5 fucking seconds.

I'm not a woman, but I can at least partially relate to how awful it is to be told to calm down. Shit suuuuuuuucks.

Well, what else are we supposed to do? Our hands are tied. I live in the Seattle metro and for some insane reason we don't have a single retail option for graphics cards. I wasn't able to get one off Newegg on launch day before they were all gone to bots, so my only option was eBay.

I hate enabling scalpers but it was either that or risk paying 47's stupid fucking tariffs. I had a narrow window to skip the tariffs upcharge and I took it. I would rather pay the extra $200 to an asshole scalper than to the federal government so they can spend it on their gestapo.

This flavor of candid admittance from a diplomat is not something I'm used to. I like it.

It's funnier if you look at it as a single photo rather than two.

I agree, but they have no incentive to do so when gamers buy it anyway. People need to vote with their wallets.

Call of Duty sales suggest this isn't happening.

Okay, so this one frisbee company disputes the countless articles published with sources about how plastic degrades when it's recycled and... you expect me to just go with that instead of NPR articles.

I doubt the demand for frisbees is high enough to be an encompassing solution for our plastic problem, but I like the idea.

No. This is a myth perpetuated by huge companies who create a lot of single use plastic.

There isn't a type of plastic in existence that can be recycled without degrading in quality. A plastic bottle cannot be used to create a new bottle. This is why less than 5% of plastic waste is actually recycled.

Only if it's profitable or they're forced to do so through legislation. Otherwise they won't even try.

You forgot to put quotes around democracy.
