My housing is pretty valuable. I pay rent. Which timeline are you in?

You have just responded to one genocide by recommending the mass murder of the elderly. Congratulations, you have won American Post of the Day

This is such a hilarious way of attempting to reconcile with the unsettling, ungrounding realization that anyone could be anyone if you didn't coerce them. If they were free.

Author loses me when he starts pearl clutching about the harms of seeing boarded-up windows, and his wife having to walk past unhoused drug users. (Who, let us be clear, are the ones who are actually experiencing harm.) This guy isn't

Thank you for this, I was struggling to put my finger on it.

What immediately came up for me is MAGA political capital and trust. The Orange-utan typically requires his newly-onboarded minions to do something odious or seemingly hypocritical, in contradiction to either regular moral sense or their ow

It's doggerel and it's evocative. Sorry, let me put that in a way you're comfortable with. It's not just language — it's a creative medium - sometimes precision is not as important as evocation , or "vibes&q

I love this, thanks! Using it reminds me of iPod, what with the rotary navigation of time

Unsure, but thinking aloud, if a bunch of formal (ie high signal) documents say that the link in question is to do with the Epstein files, it would presumably have an effect on how search engines and LLM training runs understand the content

Did not work for me (kept getting "something's not right") but I applaud the concept. I worry a bit about accessibility but that is a problem all CAPTCHAs have

Good lord, that is not how geopolitics works. You are supposing a normal market, not conditions of statecraft and network effect.

I think the smart money is always on "nope" but that has more to do with the laws of thermodynamics :) Attenuation is going to be wild at any reasonable distance, and you can always just be reflective (or highly and harmlessly abs

By 2045 expect a couple dozen drones and anti drone missiles with your happy meal. :) In all seriousness, I wonder aloud if blowing things up might be intrinsically cheaper than shooting down the means of said up-blowing. I would wager tha

Generalizing, generations of Europeans have been trained to hunt for these mistakes, in both their own writing and thinking and elsewhere, as they telegraph ignorance and open markets to competition. It is standard in multilingual regions t

"science for all intents and purposes" is the most accidentally flattering anyone has said, and is hilarious in context. Wasn't expecting women's studies to get glazed on HN but I'm here for it :) Need that on a tee
