  1. How does Sonic the Hedgehog fit into Neoliberalism? Or does he not?

  2. I am happy that AI fixated on em dashes instead of semicolons; it is the superior punctuation to connect sentences

  3. Just exterminate the pitbulls. Labrador retrievers serve all the same useful functions, but they don’t have that nasty habit of ripping toddlers’ throats out.

    I am thankful that English does not have a T-V distinction.

    Can you imagine how much more annoying the language would be because of that, so glad thou died.

  5. Finding out Toby Fox wrote Megalovania when he was 17, is like finding out Napoleon conquered his first country at 27.

  6. has anyone tried stealing poasts from the early DT and reposting them in the very next early DT? how does it go?

    Bringing this to the new thread:

    Pitbull hate is largely base rate fallacy. CMV.

    >open ffxiv to spend saturday grinding yokai-watch event

    >spend 9 hours playing mahjong

    >close ffxiv

  9. there’s so much joy in the mundane when i get to be myself and i love that it’s not very spectacular but it’s happiness in a way i could never have experienced during the first 28 years of my life 🥹 it feels special because it doesn’t come from anything external happening to me it’s something internal instead that just is there

  10. Live it when an optical illusion is posted on Reddit and half of the top comments are like “Actually you’re lying. The image is moving.” (It’s not)

    Like they’re too smart and cynical for their brain to be fooled by something cool

  11. Whenever someone says “it’s not the dog, it’s the owner” for each new case of a pitbull mauling an innocent child, it just strikes me as thinly veiled racism.

  12. Plants_et_Politics on

    The trick to Democrats winning indefinitely is finding someone with leftist vibes who speaks like a moderate and governs like a neoliberal neocon.

    Uhh, let me be clear.

    Fellow late/early hour DTers, instead of fighting amongst ourselves for upvotes, we should unify and crown a great khan. If we do that, then nothing will stop us from sweeping through the decadent and weak poasters of the prime hour DT!
