As a software developer who is currently working on a "prompt engineering" task, the words "you are absolutely correct" are like knives to my soul now.

If you can get it, Portland Ketchup is very good, and you won't be supporting dipshit multimillionaires.

That's definitely where the world is headed. As an American, my stomach drops every time I think about what exports from the United States are going to look like when the quarterly numbers come out. No one wants to buy from us anymore because... Well... We're a bunch of fucking assholes.

Every sperm is sacred...

There's no evidence of that here, but I'm fine with right-wing conspiracy crazies freaking out over the possibility.

Fair point. But our cars? Nah.

Yeah, good luck with that. No one's gonna buy our rice or shitty, gas-guzzling cars over there because of this trade war shit, so this is basically just Trump announcing a 15% tax on consumers who want to buy stuff from Japan.

Nah, he was old and sick, so it's probably natural causes, but it certainly won't help the conspiracy theorists on the right who've been flailing around over Epstein.

Dude, read the room. Yeah, your road probably needs to be repaired, but not with that money.

That's how it begins. Gradually, you'll see things you're used to always having in stock disappear, while other things become steadily less affordable. It's nothing that happens all at once, just a slow boiling of the frog until supermarket shelves are a wasteland.

Locking this post because people are getting downright vicious to each other in the comments.

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
