This rambling, bewildering post is easily my favorite piece about the 2016 playoffs. Please keep in mind that my favorite book is Mason&Dixon, and my favorite movie is the director’s cut of Nightbreed and last night I ran several miles on the treadmill listening to Red Krayola’s first album so uh, you may not exactly…

Can we add Chelsea Handler to the list? Those three just seem like the ultimate mean girls to me.

* is the key on a keyboard that most resembles an asshole.

Yeah, I never really liked mean humor and Amy just seems kinda mean. I like cutting social commentary, but I just get this sort of mean vibe from her humor as opposed to someone like George Carlin who is similarly "mean/cutting" but different in a way I can't really describe well. Or like Samantha Bee, she is angry…

I’m not great at spelling, but Benghazi has a “Z” in it.

“LeBron, you are just an average player in this league!”

LeBron really does seem thin skinned, and people who say out loud that they are going to take the high road while continuing their years-long demonstration of passive aggressive behavior annoy the hell out of me. Also, as much as I think James is one of the very few greatest of all time, the Celtics fan in me still…

I always thought it was the guy who cheap-shotted other dudes in the nuts who was the bitch.

SO. BOLD. SO. HOT. SO. TAEK.

I saw a Facebook comment on Buzzfeed (ugh) say: “It’s not the right time to discuss this, let the bodies get cold before you push your agenda”.

Make and keep appointments for later in the week. People recovering from traumatic injuries require frequent transfusions and that is in addition to the typical area requirements for those with blood cancers, etc. Seeing the local donation centers overwhelmed gives me some faith in humanity. Thank you all who went out…

I think I’m just weary. And I feel bad for feeling weary, but I do. This just keeps happening and it makes you feel helpless because no matter how hard you try, it keeps happening. It’s come to the point that news of a shooting hitting my Twitter is something I just scroll by now. They’re constant. Nearly every day…

What is wrong with this country? Why are we too stupid to stop handing out assault rifles and high capacity magazines as if there could possibly be a legitimate purpose for owning one? Why can’t we put a shock collar on Fox News as an entity and just zap them every time someone blames this on Obama? Why can’t we…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

Draymond Green is going to singlehandedly turn the Warriors from being America’s sweethearts to the St Louis Cardinals by the end of this postseason. Well and with a leg too I suppose

He got suspended for accumulating flagrant fouls, not for hitting LeBron in the junk. If he had no other flagrants, he would still be playing tomorrow.

Testicle pain is seriously going to be renamed as “Green Balls” soon. This guy has nut seeking limbs.

How exactly are you defining "thinking about it like a person"? Step by step algorithms such as the Chinese room follows are definitely not how human cognition proceeds - ie, mechanistic brute computation. While neural networks can produce the same results, they operate very differently. One of the most obvious…

For a start, the room does not have semantic ability, that is the primary and most obvious point, it doesn't possess meaning. It doesn't have memory, it can't think bout what it is doing. I think you have missed the fundamental point of the experiment; from the outside, it does indeed appear to be a duck, Searle…

The room isn't sentient because it is just a room. That's not really the point of the argument.
