He's not saying Trump is just a joke now, I think. But Trump really did start off as a mostly joke candidate- wouldn't it be funny? Can you imagine? Etc. And then he used his racism and psychopathic tendencies to win the race. And

But when he's 35, those 11 year olds will be voting age and will crack up when someone mentions that idea. And that's the danger. Weirdly.

The issue was that we wanted a new loophole for the 13th amendment. We also really wanted to permanently "deport" Americans who had brown skin. There's a lot of money in that.

You're not supposed to eat a whole American pizza. That's why you can get different toppings on either side of the pizza- so two people don't have to buy two separate pizzas.

Well, once someone has 1510 drones capable of taking a carrier out of battle, they'll just toss a few dozen smaller turrets on the carrier that fire birdshot at full auto.

That one was about personalization. If you're a political junkie, it'll tell you how many people died in a riot. If you're not, it'll tell you about the Pyramids.

Oh Lord yes! I'm totally with you. That's a whole separate tier of Hell. I think they're either chasing gamified time-on page metrics, or are just deeply conceited. Whenever that happens to me I consider myself pranked by the

Free doesn't mean devoid of law. The law can chain you up, or the East India Company can chain you up, and it doesn't make much of a difference. Free markets are kept free by intelligent and benevolent legal force.

Absolutely. I have spent a good amount of time writing and editing professionally. The absolute worst writing happens when someone believes they are owed attention simply because they wrote something. The gall! Maybe people would skim les

Maybe if you visit a page for only two tenths of a second, the back button skips it. It won't fix the whole problem but it's a start.

I'm not caught up with the microplastics problem. But I suspect the locals had read testimony from scientists studying the problem. People really give a shit about pollution in Hawai'i. It also seems very unlikely that the quantit

Yeah those are the types of article topics that should be aggressively weeded out by any credible SEO specialist or consultant.

Even with the huge number of other issues plaguing that game, it's staggering to imagine the amount of dollars that they lost specifically because of that single "a" keystroke.

I don't care about cultural appropriation and stuff - you are right in that aspect - it is a back and forth exchange between Hawaii, the East, and the West. But it'd be like if you grew up buying "Mexican hats" from Walm

Not really. Handicap bathroom stalls are never handicap exclusive. Sometimes there isn't even a second, non handicap stall. It isn't like parking, because 99.9% of the time, it's in and out in a couple minutes, and 100% of th

Well, ML on 100 billion searches is probably going to more closely approximate user intent than a living brain in a tank, because that brain doesn't know what the hell "lkw attachment" means. Looks like german-english bilingu

Thank you. I am mystified by the apparently widespread mental framework that roads don't actually do anything other than attract masses of people in cars, inexplicably like insects toward bright light.

That's a huge part of it. I do feel that the aforementioned anti-industrial mindset does still motivate the lack of enthusiasm for number crunching. Find me a way to reduce co2 that involves wicker, green leaves, and pure water, even t

The term "SEO" is now used to encompass a much broader area of online marketing than it did in the past (tricking Googlebot and not fucking up Googlebot). You'll certainly run into lots of liars and conmen who use it to refer

The problem is that Google and Bing really are duopolistic. You'd think that a monopoly could just break instantly if all it required was typing in a different URL. But modern search engines are reliant on machine learning on mind-bogg

Yes we still have independent pharmacies that are medicine only, but a very large portion of them have been superceded by Walgreens and CVS which are 60% pharmacy/health and 40% a convenience store. It is quite nice to pick up a can o

For blowing your nose because you have a cold. In North America there's more space, and I think pharmacies are larger. The European pharmacies I've seen would have had to ditch 5% of their medications if they wanted to make space
