There's an old saying in Vior'la -- I know it's in Sa'cea, probably in Vior'la -- that says, "Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again."

It all really does come down to "Its easy dumbass, just make policy that always achieves it's goals and only its goals". Which would definitely work if we got our policy from the good policy tree, instead of the imperfect fuck ups that are you, I and the taxi driver with opinions.

One has to wonder if the rockies are the omelas child so that the rest of Colorado sports can be good.

One of the key insights that was critical to modern life was the dispassionate execution/enforcement of business contracts via the state, instead of needing a bunch of scary lads to threaten someone to enforce agreements. Keeping the drug trade from using that means that force rules the day.

BRONCOS WIN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

Fuck

In the war of ideas the anonymous gestalt of the boards proved vastly more capable of idea refinement and propagation compared to the academic origins of MeToo. I do wonder if there's anyway that MeToo could've had the dynamism to win the war of ideas. Or if it was always destined to be fuel for gg.

I'm hearing reports that Glonzo has trapped John Cornyn in a power station

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Racism but linkedinly

Alright everyone, gotta make sure all align on calling it the disney flu or mickey's disease. This our chance to destroy their brand value and drag them into hell for fucking up sports streaming.

I do not know how you win elections consistently with this electorate besides depressing turnout among low trust dipshits

Deeply funny that Donald Trump is a symptom of the utter legislative paralysis that has crushed this country since the 80s, and he might also end up being the cure.

What a wonderous thing to wake up to.

Lets not sprain our arms patting ourselves on the back for seeing the "real" reasons. It can be true. But, at the same time what's also true is that successful products adapt to the world that exists, and that world has been built for the human body. Few will renovate their house for a iFuddrucker

"you use AWS?? for a global-scale low-latency platform?? have you considered Microsoft Azure??" lord save us from bsky posters

Federal services being shuttered for more than even 3 months will probably produce enough legislator corspes that personal self preservation instincts will take over. Not just from the hungery masses and unpaid workers, but all the busines stakeholders who aren't part of the inner grift circle.

I just can't help but find it wasteful when the media consumed could instead be preparing you to be an anarchist bomb thrower or to getting blown up by anarchist bomb thrower or to dying in a great flood of molasses.

Genuinely you can map the infection of the Cooonsumerist mindset onto people based upon how much someone hates Paradox's DLC policy. "I should get to reap the rewards of a decade of developement for the same cost of a game upon release!"

The destruction of the White House is such an ungodly abomination that, of course, the New York Jets are involved.

If this country goes through a period of actual hunger it will shatter lives and leave scars that will not heal. Hunger is also the one thing that always overrides internal ideology as a motivator. If we as a society are incapable of not playing games with hunger then it will humble us utterly.

The disney lizardmen and jay jay the franchise killer did more damage to the sequel trilogies viability than the TFA and RoS combined. They managed to create a canon so dogshit it disengaged the freaks and the nerds that breathe life into a franchise. Sequel trilogy was DOA

What a game.

So closed to having the single funniest thing in history happening.

They just are common touchpoints that intersect with the higher dimensional vectorspaces a lot in a way thats useful for meaning vector operations that occur within models frequently thats emojis are used so much they lie along a ton of the vector spaces.

i WILL get elected on a platform centered around equality, making radio the main form of media consumption again, and what the media will grudgingly quote as "getting all that iphone shit out of the damn cars"

Spotted in DC

I'm 100% convinced jesus would've loved making an 8 leg draft kings parlay.

Most of the opsec people tend to model their tactics after the Hong Kong protestors, which is fine except the Hong Kong protesters just lost. Protest is supposed to be a sacrificial act, you sacrifice your time, wages, and social standing. It's the sacrifice that really makes people pay attention.

Me and the boys rolling up to vote for Crypto-Maoist Graham Platner over stalwart Dem Janet Mills, because he would abolish the filibuster, and she would not

Belt Looks Weird On Child

Mid-level genre shlock is better at exploring ideas and providing insight into the art of writing than canon/classics. Most canon/classics lack the wierdo-schizo factor that can elevate works and or bring into relief core assumptions about the world.

UNLIMITED CHIEFS GENOCIDE

With ideological allies like this who needs enemies? Just be normal please thats all you need to do, it can't be that hard right?

This is why we need to heaven ban every single billionaire on social media so they don't get radicalized by knowing the opinions of college students. Its how we can make our rich dumbasses useful to society aside from making them less rich.

Wouldn't this also include stiffing the troops? Seems stupid as fuck.

Some of my Stargate based art. Enjoy. #scifiart #scifi #fanart #stargate #stargatesg1

Its like the old Nato joke. Any good democratic system will keep the communists out and the lumpenprole down. Though, it does remain to be seen what causitive correlative role everything has. Is the hitlerites rising up a cause of failure or a symptom of failure.

I think a real problem in this world is a lack of posting bushido. You can go to war with the mods, with the big accounts, hell with the government itself on X the Everything Site, sometimes it is the honorable thing to do. But you should have your death poem written.

Can't wait to see concerned think pieces in the news the second a dem takes power with all these ownership stakes.

You can have a lot of cool sci-fi stuff depending on how you play with the rules of physics to create the constraints you need, but those will have lots of 2nd order effects you need to incorporate or mitigate that add wrinkles to a story environment.

This generally why the it behooves dem governor's to keep a good reserve of their powder dry until 2026-28. They need to resist, but in a delaying action defense in depth manner. You can't give away the game too early otherwise you invite defeat.

Trying to figure out if functional programming is hitlerite or if OOP is hitlerite because of Oracle is going to be the question that radicalizes software devs.

ME: Wonder how bsky is doing this afternoon. NORMIE MUTUALS AT 3PM ON A SUNDAY: Fuck this, it's all over. I'm going to kill myself.

Getting the average zoomer to hate oracle as much as the average java dev is a truly unpredictable outcome.
