in a similar vein to betteridge's law of headlines, you always have to figure out what low bar journalists are assuming for trump and in this case i'm pretty sure it's "didn't press the button and kill us all"

they haven't released the evidence of aliens because it's part of the epstein files

i have met the paperclip maximizer and he is us

All societies have idiots. A decadent society has a regiment of idiots among the powerful.

if i remember my ferris bueller correctly it was just that it made things worse

from a strategic standpoint, CA should invade WY, ND, and SD (which collectively have a population less than los angeles and only ~5% of the population of CA), install a new government, and flip 6 seats in the senate and 3 seats in the house giving democrats control of both

tbf as a citizen it's a task that, unlike the others, i am fine with being handled by a drunk

CEO defenders are the weirdest fucking people to me. Doesn't matter which CEO, like...you know you're fighting on behalf of someone who would walk across the throats of everyone you love for a fizzy water, right?

P(dead|text interview) ≠ 0

The food truck scene is especially good in Portland because not only can they move to avoid the waves of destruction, those waves weed out the weaker and slower offerings.

his theory is that there was a virus that attacked the central nervous system of everyone else on earth while he and a few of his friends were safe with jeffrey epstein

Which agency? If you don’t know which agency you can’t actually say they’re a federal agent. If it’s ICE, say ICE.

was just curious which city this was referring to but the google AI result appearing just below the WSJ link was too funny; i mean do you want your paid and/or SEO'd result to be placed next to something that says "nuh uh"?

omg this is hilarious

a general strike isn't happening in the US but a real war on christmas could make an impact—even just not buying stuff for christmas from major e-commerce sites cutting these Q4 spikes in half is −30 billion dollars; plus it's not like the people who benefit from them are helping

it's far more than a failure; it was (and still is) active, intentional collaboration

living in this country has become a a daily reenactment of getting in the car with your drunk parents in the 80s

unironically collaborating in capitalist christmas this year is fascist

you just have to imagine megan mcardle is fuming

according to murc's law there is actually no one in charge of the country right now

that is an odd spike + decline, but in the larger view there is a noticeable correlated "sagging" in the JOLTS series over the past few months within the noise on any individual metric but combined might be a signal

i mean we all saw it on display but also imagine how many of your own farts you've huffed to give that speech

what's the military version of "all hat and no cattle"?

What should have happened... Kirk: I would not presume to debate you. Spock: That is wise.

for younger viewers: libertarianism was an internet hoax from the early 00s that morphed into clown sightings when video became more common

"How come I've never heard of this British sketch comedy show 'Bruiser'? It has all these talented people in it!" *watches episode* "Oh."

i think the compounding issue with AI output is a much bigger problem than is realized even 80% success on individual tasks is going to have a 90% chance of failure if you need 10 things to work together

Why aren't Democrats in unison calling out the obvious here? Hell, I think "this dude is fucking crazy" resonates more with normies than "he's an authoritarian". Why is this so taboo with them? Afraid people will call them hypocritical because of Biden? Who cares?

in the wrath of khan, kirk and spock hint that the kobayashi maru test results in actual damage, so my headcannon is that participants can and do suffer real injuries; however, 23rd century medical technology is sufficient to heal them making it a genuine ordeal

tbf they are seeing maths differently

met this guy back back at UT in the 90s; glad to know he's still good people

"Well sir, there's nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona-fide, electrified, Non-Fungible Identity! What'd I say?"

if i ran an institution of any kind i'd have spent the past couple months looking into divesting UST for bonds from countries whose central banks' independence wasn't being threatened

tfw you read a new explanation of dark matter but it doesn't account for the fact that some galaxies don't seem to have any

so what’s up with these amoral freaks and Star Wars?
