I guess I’m gross people.

This rises to the level, barely, of “Who gives a shit?”

Any AI you have has to be trained.

I want to do this to a photo of Hiroshima after the blast, with the Threnody for Hiroshima Victims as the soundtrack.

This is how they’re going to get us. They’ll send the Terminators to arrest us all and pump us full of DMT.

Batman is basically a rich liberal wet dream. A billionaire who donates tons of money to charity, and actively fights mobs and villains who are victimizing Gotham’s middle class and poor. I haven’t read Frank Miller’s comics, but the entire ethos around Batman is that he stands up for the needy of Gotham.

If you’re good at controlling the temp on a propane grill, you can go ahead and do it. But you’ve got to find a way to introduce smoke into it. Either through some chips or something. Ideally, you would just smoke the thing. You should have a very neutral wood, instead of something extremely fragrant like a fruit…

Native Austinite here. Franklin has probably the best brisket that I’ve ever eaten. It’s worth it for one go around. But, yeah, there are places that get pretty near it and without the ridiculous line. Louie Mueller’s BBQ in Taylor, TX, (a bit outside of Austin) is one. Another is Cooper’s BBQ in Llano and City Meat…

Why did you make it all froo-froo

Aaron Franklin worked with KLRU and made a series of kind of how-tos:

The “checks and balances” liberal democratic model creates inherent stalemates. That is, in fact, by design. The way to control the abuse of power is to abolish the division between government and the public; that is, directly democratic, immediately recallable delegates and with the public deciding policy instead of…

When I was a kid, growing up in a small town, we played with fireworks because there was nothing else to do. We’d shoot roman candles at each other, throw fireworks at each other, smoke bombs and what not.

One time, one of my friends decided that he was going to throw a smoke bomb in the front door of my house, and it…

You keep saying that “communism” failed in the USSR; but communism wasn’t actually tried in the USSR. Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society based on production for need, and none of those things were ever met in the Soviet Union. I agree that the consolidation of power leads to corruption, but that’s…

How do you prefer “socialism,” yet you have this backwards Hobbesian view on people?

I’ll note you haven’t actually addressed anything I’ve said. Not much I can do with ignorant asswipes who refuse to learn anything.

Okay, but something has to be tried first before it fails.

“You assume because I don’t agree with your theories on economic systems “

No, I’m not trying to get you to agree with my theories or ideas. I don’t actually care if you disagree. I’ll tell you what I’ve told everyone else who has said the same exact shit as you’ve told me today: You can disagree, but at least…

“So a guy who spends an hour doing custodial work gets the same chit as a guy who is a professional athlete? Or an hour’s work sitting at a desk typing is equal to an hour’s work doing hazardous chemical cleanup?”

Well, aside from the fact that there probably wouldn’t be “professional athletes” in a communist society,…

“The flaw in Marx’s system is how work is evaluated.”

There could be a flaw, but what you pointed out below aren’t flaws. They’re consequences of me not going into enough detail, for the reason that we’re having this discussion in a Gizmodo comments section. I’ll rectify that, though. See:

“You say in the first phase…

“By that standard there aren’t any capitalist countries either.
