I don’t think people are nasty enough to him. Until he’s a fucking hermit, too ashamed to show his face in public again because he knows everyone despises him, we need to be nastier.

And RFK wants to send you to a gulag “wellness farm” for it.

Perfect malicious compliance opportunity: the price tag stays the same, but add an itemized Trump Tax for the difference.

Capitalism in its current form has existed for the last 2% of human civilization. 5% if you count mercantilism as a form of capitalism. For the vast majority of history, people owned their own means of production.

Modi is just as much of a fascist pig.

Even the most oppressive tyrants in history understood the concept of bread and circuses. Most people will stay complacent when their fundamental rights are being taken away as long as they have their distractions. Taking away the distractions is something you only do after you’ve fully consolidated your power. They’re so obsessed with projecting an aura of oppressiveness that they’ve forgotten how to hold power.

That’s a bit of a false dilemma though. The two options aren’t “it’s a magical elixir with absolutely no downsides” and “people deserve to be locked in a cage and have their life ruined for possessing it”. Plenty of legal things can cause harm. 35% of people are lactose intolerant, do we ban dairy?

Hell, you can give away 990 million of it, buy a house, put what’s left in a high yield savings account, and live comfortably on the interest alone for the rest of your life.

The fact that Windows hides file extensions by default is just absolute insanity to me.

+84 doesn’t mean an increase of 84 percentage points, it means 92% approval, 8% disapproval.

Is there anything morally different between pretending to be ICE to break into people’s homes to rob them and actually being ICE and breaking into people’s homes to rob them?

Only suspected to be. Bukele himself concedes a roughly 20% error rate and it’s probably much worse than that.

“Oh but we used to live in fear of gangs!” You still do, you just traded one gang for a different, state-sanctioned one.

My conspiracy theory is it was chosen to deliberately harm the optics of environmentalists. Something with minimal useful impact and maximum inconvenience would turn people against the whole idea of environmentally friendly alternatives.

Yes. We could have had a planet Orcus and we were like “nah, we’ll pass.” That would have been metal as shit.

It’s a classic example in education to demonstrate the difference between bandwidth and latency. Extremely high bandwidth, but also extremely high latency. It’s not for practical use, it’s a thought experiment to explain something that’s often counterintuitive to students that are just starting out learning about networking.

5e rules explicitly refer to spaces on a grid and had to be changed in several ways to work in a gridless setting.

Might as well just call it Twitter. The only people that go along with calling it “X” are chuds and Musk sycophants.

Anyone can be afraid of anything. That’s their problem, talk it out with a therapist instead of discriminating against people that are just living their lives and aren’t doing anything to hurt you.

How do you not know how recessive genes work?

That’s even dumber. You’re paying taxes either way, the difference is what you’re paying for with them. I’d rather them go towards healthcare than corporate bailouts and military contractors.
