In a democracy having a largely ignorant voting populace equates to a dictatorship of ignorance. These ignoramuses vote for ignoramuses who then rule over us all. It is a system of forced ignorance through policies passed by the ignorant, supported by the ignorant.

Because the patriarchy wants us to think women are helpless victims who need to be protected. Jezebel fell for it.

Let's start: They don't experience pain. The spiders are not self aware and have no higher functioning cognitive capacity. They do not have the capacity to suffer by any good definition of the word.

That's a false equivalency argument. A giant spider is not a human being. One could even argue that it does not experience the world in any way similar to a human being. Therefore, trying to treat it as if you would a human being or even a mammal, is ludicrous.

It's ludicrous to imply that the vRAM on those cards is what helps them render things in 4k at higher framerates. It just so happens to be that the most powerful cards available also have the most vRAM, which isn't surprising. In a year when cards are out with that much power but only 4gb or 6gb of vRAM they will be…

Literally no game at the moment will utilize that amount of RAM. Not even close. Not even half that. Not even close to half of that. Not even a quarter of that. As far as I know the most any game uses at the moment is 3gb of vRAM. In the near future (the next year or so) that might actually raise some to about 4gb. In…

Football is itself a distraction from all the important things in life. How can one be a distraction to a distraction? I really don't get this.

"Similar opposition was expressed when tasers were first introduced"

Don't worry, they aren't. Almost all the science we have regarding this topic shows that humans in real dire situations tend to pool labor and resources and come together in cooperation. The need for companionship and a safety net of others is an evolutionarily sound tactic, and we are pretty much wired for it.

You've never been around people who have suffered a true communal tragedy like a flood where they lost everything. The first thing people do is band together to pool resources and labor. It's the best strategy for survival. We are literally evolutionarily programed to do this.

After all, those who bemoan PC speech are essentially waxing nostalgia about the "good ole days" when they could speak their mind. In other words, use slurs and similar bigoted speech without pause.

Obama is a moderate, though.

Now I'll have to resort to youtube buffering to watch the chicken lady explode-gasm. :(

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

It's basically a type of pyramid scheme except the people aren't the pyramid the currency is and can be spent in some places. As the scheme progresses the new people have a harder and harder time getting the currency.

People pay him in ad revenue that advertisers pay him for on his videos and the site he also run.

Yeah! I know I have backup plans if I get fired. Like unemployment and opening collections notices. You know, like the rest of the working class.

The only time I'm concerned about road dots are when I'm on my motorcycle in the rain, and even then its only a passing thought. You can feel traction change going over them but I've never felt like it was going completely out from under me. Consider that's with two less wheels and a contact patch for the only two I…

I dunno. You have to make good sticky rice properly to eat it with chopsticks. So, if you are making minute rice and having trouble its because you are making shit rice. Stop making shit rice. Eat with chopsticks.

I hate to be pedantic but you are describing how well adapted or evolved an animal is at a task in general. When we say smart, we are talking about intelligence, which is a very specific evolutionary adaptation regarding cognitive ability.
