The premise of every single one of them is wrong because you’re depressed and projecting. You’re just so dedicated to searching for evil that you’ve completely confused “look at this goofy person” for “FUCK THIS SELF-RIGHTEOUS PRICK”.

Him responding to why he's freeballing it in the new movie is another gem. Very cute thread.

Thank you for posting exactly the hilariously wrong interpretations I'm actively speaking about.

Antisemitism and satire - famously the same thing and this is definitely not an insane comparison.

I was mostly curious about the source and figured that would bring it out. Sorry.

It wouldn't require perfect accuracy, just rough accuracy and a human to confirm, and it's already more than good enough for that. I do not understand this confusion surrounding modern math.

Gates never said that, for what it's worth.

I'm not paying for it, so when they get wordy and stupid, I just respond with something akin to "turn that response into like half a paragraph."

>ADHD-friendly outputs. No ADHD diagnosis needed! Don't worry, that's how it works in the real world, too.

As an example, you do realize that in the South Park episode where Gerald starts farting into a wine glass after buying an electric car, they're not making fun of people who buy electric cars, but rather people who think they're s

I love the idea that one side has simply been historically evil in your mind, and that by not spending most of their time explaining carefully to everyone how that group IS in fact evil and despicable, they're somehow part of the extre

Those intrinsic costs are still muddled within digital payment systems which represent nothing tangible. You can take loans out from world banks, you can run your country into slavery, or you can do a million other things you want which are

Even Canada and Mexico aren't stupid enough to align with China, and if you think a power vacuum will simply exist and remain in balance in perpetuity, I've got a bridge to sell you. If you're just talking about the relativel

I just run a VM with linux running WINE so I can browse securely on Safari, and all of this is on an rPi I actually vampire tapped into the coax network of the local town hall. Still feels unsafe.

There was an American presidential candidate who ran on the platform of Americans getting to own their data and privacy like property in... 2016? I think? Agree with it or not, he was pretty forward-thinking at least.

This entire statement relies on the idea that world leaders are highly rational actors, which they absolutely are not.

Everyone is just gonna stop trying to acquire influence for some reason...? Or do you just think that, for some reason, this would now magically balance itself out any time any world leader thinks "wow that's a huge vacuum that ne

Nobody appointed the US leader of the world, what are you talking about? It's just a matter of "whoever is most powerful and influential". There's no war needed, and the US never conquered the planet. I'm not doubti

Ah, okay, that makes a lot more sense! Thanks!

Does anyone in power anywhere actually think China has finally overtaken the US hegemony? Or are we pretending someone else might somehow hold that position?

No, both of them look awful. I genuinely am unsure if this is a meme you're making that's going over my head...?

That photo looks pretty hilariously stupid, so this appears to be more of a first toe dip rather than some indication we can one-shot a previously difficult process.

I feel like this is the medical equivalent of saying "I can't believe these guys didn't try turning it off and on again". Like, "maybe the people whose job is to consider the cause and spread of disease never consid

Energy begets energy. Sloth begets sloth. It's a simple calorie conservation thing. Why power up the body to 80% when it'll only need 10%? This isn't the answer for everyone, but for 90% of people, it moves the needle in the

It's just someone drawing conclusions based on what the author chose to write, which is common and fine.

Yeah, that's not living an NPC life. Nobody is talking about that when they call someone an NPC.

These aren’t state-owned companies, they’re federal services. It’s also, as stated, not how it works for any other org or business in the US. Maybe everyone else in the world has some kind of problem similar to this, but it appears to at le

That's the crazy thing about the US. Our postal service is, for some reason, not funded by taxpayer dollars, but also not allowed to run a profit, they are not allowed to change prices without congressional approval, and they mu

It’s worth mentioning that destroying the USPS has been a largely bipartisan effort, for reasons I cannot understand. Edit: when the PAEA passed in 2006, it had 410 “yes” votes. Not a single democrat, and only 20 republicans voted no. This
