It was created by an Elon Musk superfan who identified himself to ARTnews as a French tech entrepreneur under the pseudonym “Louis XXII."

His other pseudonyms include Adrian Dittman and Doge Designer

It was a major plot point on one of the seasons of The Sopranos. Junior ordered a hit on Tony Soprano after Tony found out that Junior ate pussy and teased him for it.

Of all the notions that exist around hypermasculinity, this one is the weirdest.

I've been inside a few big companies and I've seen exactly how it works.

In order to manage huge organisations, they divide them all up into cost centers. And the website is considered marketing so it gets given a budget on the theory that it brings customers. It uses the budget to make games and it does indeed bring customers.

Then a few years later, the shareholders are asking why their stock hasn't outperformed the market, and they put in a CEO tasked with fixing it, and the CEO asks the head of the department in charge of websites what can he do to address the fact that his department is losing money instead of making it.

Imagine sucking so bad it makes the news.

From 2013 to 2020 I didn't have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.

Trump has now ordered NIST to reverse their recommendation on Rust.

It wasn't until all this kicked off that I learned just how many companies that I thought were European were in fact owned by American conglomerates.

Which makes MAGA's "the world is taking advantage of America" rhetoric all the more infuriatingly hypocritical. You spent decades using the strong dollar to go on a massive global shopping trip buying up every other country's companies, and are now crying foul that those companies you own are supplying their local markets instead of importing from the US?

If you’re talking about animals it doesn’t matter.

Not even that it doesn't matter, it's almost entirely the point. The reason why using 'females' as a noun to refer to women is dehumanizing is because it's a noun we use for animals.

It never really felt to me like the tech bubble crash was that big a deal to many people outside of a group of greedy rich assholes. There's always collateral damage of course, but the only change I really witnessed was a stop to people getting paid 20x the median salary after spending a few weeks with a Teach Yourself Perl in 24 Hours book.

Reminder that after setting the political stage for the Khmer Rouge to take power with the carpet-bombing of Cambodia, the US Government continued to recognize Pol Pot as its rightful ruler all the way through to the early 1990s, simply because the actual Cambodian government of the 80s was installed with Vietnam's help.

The USA seems to be on an never-ending quest to fuck Indochina over for no fucking reason.

"As of 2024, the Adolph Coors Foundation is the only one of the three organizations still publicly disclosing support for the conservative group."

The fucking WHAT Coors Foundation?

I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.
