He won't go to prison, you know it, I know it, everyone knows it. And you know why? Because if he goes to prison any of our politicians could face consequences for the crimes they commit and that is unacceptable to the grasping, greedy gerontocracy that runs this country. Mark my words they will rally around him even…

Here in the United States, there’s a very established normal. Two point four kids, his and hers bathrobes, a white picket fence, a two-car garage

Here’s how to prep for “The Flash”: recall that it is a property based on works made for children decades ago and that neither the plot nor the characters matter as the only reason movies like this are made or watched is for people to cheer at special effects and simulated violence.

Look, it’s the internet so I have no idea if this is a genuine mental health crisis or an elaborate publicity stunt. To a casual online observer they often look the same. I would like to point out that, as a matter of practicality, wearing a giant smiley face mask that covers your entire head to

I knew a guy who tried to do that as well as extracting gold from circuit boards and such. Turns out all those fumes are super poisonous whether you do it with fire or acid. I doubt that was what did him in what with the smoking, drinking, drug use and the hepatitis C but it can’t have helped.

Wherever they recycle the precious metals out of those things I’m sure step one is to bust out the honeycomb and throw the case on a steel scrap pile so I doubt they’ll have any problem with the scrappers bringing them buckets full of broken catalysts. It’d probably be easier to pay them by weight that way, although…

We did watch that cold-hearted bastard gun down Leonardo DiCaprio in the middle of the street and that was his own son.

In keeping with the theme of the article another good example is how Sean Hannity’s show’s intro has a sound clip from Martina McBride’s “Independence Day”, a 90s country hit. Apparently he thinks the song is about patriotism. That song is about the Fourth of July when the narrator’s mother burned the house down while …

I wonder if you wake up to a wall of text or just blackness? Probably disorienting either way.

That's an unsupported assertion. The human mind is more of a black box than any generative AI and there are behavioral scientists who will tell you it is entirely possible that we compose in the same way without being consciously aware of it. Other opinions differ of course but my point is that the science is not…

So this boils down to the mods, developers of third party apps that cater to mods and superusers who are somehow not mods being unhappy that Reddit charges fees so high that the third party apps can’t exist? How about Reddit make it’s own software with moderation tools and maybe charge a small fee for it while…

Oh, okay. I wasn’t sure that you got that the real reason OP was concerned is that we’ve gotten used to a lot of careful language from men accused of sexual harassment/assault to avoid falling into the “bitches be crazy” trope and catching flak for it on Twitter and in blogs. So someone not going out of their way to…

Was “Why don’t you want an open door, because you’re fucking someone else behind it” or something like that yelled by anyone?

I guess 5 covers my theory, which is that natural selection is universal and that intelligence is not a good long term survival strategy. Evolution only cares about our genes. So if we poison our planet and our descendants manage to turn into pollution-proof blind mole people, but lose language and abstract thought,…

I’d also like it if they had a mode for longer, slower vehicles that avoided left hand turns on to a multi lane road without a light. There are plenty of times I'd rather drive around than wait ten minutes to risk a bunch of lives and property by turning into an area with heavy traffic and limited visibility.

I would like to see the data on what types of trucks this happens to. It’s anecdotal of course but it seems like more than half the time I see a truck get stuck under a low bridge it’s the type of box truck that just barely squeaks by without requiring a CDL to drive. The ones where you can stick any jackass with a…

There was a low railroad bridge in a city near me that had a truck hit it once every few months. They decided to do something about it and, since the railroad bridge was old but sturdy, decided lowering the road was the best option. So they went ahead and dug it out and repaved.

The stupidity of the average person has been the Achilles heel of democracy since Athens and for every Pericles enlightening the masses there’s a Cleon ready to indulge their basest passions. AI just makes the old techniques more effective in the same way that social media gives them a broader platform.

Of which there are a number in every race since it's historically a good way to get Secretary positions, ambassadorships and even the VP office, a job with a salary, a house and no work requirements at all.

Personally I think NATO now functions as the US subsidizing defense spending for a multitude of countries, many of whom use that economic benefit to directly compete with us. No idea if that's how the PP views it though.
