Why would anybody build a Dyson sphere around their own star?

Oh sure it’s awesome, until somebody lets the Flood out.

People managed to go to live events for decades without phones. They’ll live.

Those of us trying to watch the show will not miss you, I can assure you of that. Catch the dvd and text your bae from the couch if you really need to.

I had to do it a few times in college and since I’ve graduated and student loans have gotten real, it’s too depressing. Good news is I only have like 23 more years to go before they’re discharged! The only financially smart thing I ever managed to do was start my 401k really young so at least at some point in the next…

I’m sure we’re supposed to be all “wah wah poor widdle millionaires” but hot damn if I wouldn’t also be fed up with that crap. 8:30 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to start construction work. 6 GODDAMN AM IS NOT.

The idea that we should forcibly conscript young girls into combat, to my mind, makes little or no sense.

Ask five financial advisors and you’ll get six opinions on that. Here’s the thing: if you’re young, you have decades ahead of you for your retirement savings to compound and grow. Compounding really is the eighth wonder of the world...every $100 you can contribute in your 20s can turn into $2,000 or more by retirement…

On a second read he is still an idiot who thinks this Is up for debate

The science is there for climate change. That’s not left wing just because the right wing tries to deny it, that’s accepting scientific results and commenting on it. Should we stop discussing gravity and outer space because there are flat earthers who deny it when established science backs it?

Good. Fuck Peter Theil.

“It’s okay that she said racist things, because they always say racist things.” Probably the worst take ever on Deadspin. And that’s saying something.

I’m waiting for the ‘nuke it from orbit’ guy . . .

I enjoy watching depressing commentary on the state of our society, religious or otherwise. Cf: Breaking Bad, Orphan Black, The Americans, Preacher, The Walking Dead, Person of Interest, and any number of other shows.

Since actual evidence doesn’t seem to be doing the trick, the right kind of anecdotal evidence might.

Yeah, but RAIL GUN!

I’m just brainstorming here.
