“It’s super easy to get your homework. First you go to the school website, click 4 links and then go to Campus Conquistador. Then you click through to get to your Bunghol dashboard and then log into Bunghol. From there, enter your school email. From there, log in to Floof.”

Trump: I love the meat! Ahhhh! I love it, look! *gestures*

Conservatives will say that people have Trump Derangement Syndrome for posting about blatant corruption and theft and then drive 90 minutes to their nearest Cheesecake Factory for a selfie to prove their level of loyalty to a sundowning pedophile.

"We must secure the existence of Cheesecake Factory and a future for my white grandson, who I can no longer speak to because his parents are no-contact cucks."

BREAKING: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging they misled consumers about the safety of the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot and failed to protect users from harm.

Was thinking about the Trump BURRRRT and the “mouth agape for 8 seconds” face before I took a nap and ended up having a dream about Trump being put on a throne like the Emperor of Mankind in 40k except he continued to make fucked up noises.

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"

Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

Fully convinced Vivek Ramaswamy bet against himself winning the governor's race on one of the gambling apps and is now trying to run the campaign into the ground and cash out.

It's not news but it really is striking that Republicans literally have no morality whatsoever. For all their appeals to tradition and "values" it's just a completely alien concept for them, other than as something to be used as a weapon against disfavored groups

there are tons of legitimate criticisms of a folding phone that cost $2000 but i'm having a good laugh at "you will scroll tiktok less because of the aspect ratio" as the leading negative bullet point on an iphone duo review is funny. oh no my brain poison

Okay, here's the deal, I stupidly bought NBA 2K27 as a digital code on NewEgg.com because I had a promo code, but I bought it for the wrong console and I can't return it. Not a contest, but reply to this post with your favorite Onion sports headline and I'll straight up give one of you the game.

“This car can fly and you will be able to buy it” “The cybertruck can briefly serve as a boat” “Your car can do unsupervised autopilot by 2017” “This machine can do 12,000 tests with a single drop of blood” why is only one of these statements fraud

This is the core of Boomer mentality. They climbed the ladder built by thier predecessors and now want to pull it up behind them. Claiming they "worked hard" for what they have (they didn't, at least not as hard as they think) and now don't want to lend the hand they were afforded.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
