Hey, if anyone can pull it off, it's you!
Your kid here with the scientific discovery of a generation, and you shoot him down in favor of traditional doctrine.
If it were an SAT question, the correct answer would have been, "Oh, yeah, I knew that from the first bite."
"The rule of law is eroding, someone should do something about it!" says one of the few people who can actually do something about it.
Those are Canadian dollars.
"If, God forbid...." is what a person who's planning on making an "accident" happen would say.
The greatest fear of all conservatives: being treated the same way they treat others.
I like how it just specifies "smoker". And I do smoke a mean baby back rib.
It's all the engineering students who forgot how to do math over winter break.
"All these people who are in a situation I've never been in just need to do what I've concluded will work!" - Each and every one of us.
The current administration attempting diplomacy is like someone signing up for the World Series of Poker after their only exposure is reading a summary of the movie "Rounders" and thinking "I can't believe they took the game from that movie and turned it into a real thing!".
Hey, we're all adults here. Mostly.
That's because the phrase "wall-mounted garage door opener" doesn't make sense if you take it literally. The only meaningful interpretation is the button to control the door being wall-mounted. Putting the actual opener on the wall... only terrorists would do that.
Hey Van Drew, tell James Dobson I said "I hope Hell is warm enough for you!"
Hot takes: 1) Racism, sexism, and similar forms of bigotry are not opinions, they are credible threats of violence. 2) Animosity towards bigots is not bigotry. Bigotry is an action, and it's totally good and right to judge people based on their actions. Really, it's a moral failing not to.
If you can think of a more efficient way to deliver a pie than throwing it, I'd like to hear it!
I volunteer for hacker.
Tangentially, movie genres ebb and flow in popularity. A person who's really into romcoms & a buddy-cop aficionado are going to have very different ideas of when the best movies were made.
Back then, just like now, the question isn't "Is it OK to own people?" The relevant question has always been "Who is considered a person?"
Apparently, neither does thermodynamics.
I say cut Sammy-boy some slack here. He's not an astronomer/aerospace engineer, I understand a layperson not making a distinction between Dyson spheres and swarms. Even some pros conflate the two. No, the reasons this is such a dumb idea are things he, a computer guy, should totally know about.
I fully support his goal of putting all these data centers into space as soon as possible, all at once. I can think of nothing that would go wrong. Hell, getting the waste heat off-world would alone be a massive improvement.
Around the sun would be even dumber.
Whispering, huh?
Thank you for clarifying.
Make a band food: Muffalettalica
Are you serious?
Bernie has (had?) very vocal supporters, but he's never had a lot of supporters (as a percentage of the population). It's possible that Mamdani might be able to get people to actually like him.
I wish her, and all other TERF women, the knowledge that the only people who still associate with her view her as lesser because she's a woman.
Those are pretty sweet initials.
The politics of moving, ah?
Showing, once again, that the only true principles conservatives have ever had are "oppress the different" and "only white conservative men are allowed to be pedophiles."
We all know that's a lie.
If it helps, you can think of it like this: How many fronts do I want to wage war on simultaneously? My personal answer is "Never, ever more than 1".
The first two words that come to my mind from this are "money" and "laundering".
Yes.
WT (And I say this as a Phoenician) actual F.
Attempted paper cut! Someone could have bled out and died!
They'd need to be embarrassed, or even aware, of their own sniveling cowardice first.
Laws are for other people.

Come on, Subway sandwich bread isn't THAT hard. Snowflake.
The scolds bear significant responsibility for the hellscape we live in. They actively work to prevent the unity needed to make the world a better place. The only joy they know is in complaining. Making the world a better place takes away their happiness.
I have a question for everyone, and I'd love as many answers on this as possible (so share if you're inclined). Would you rather have anxiety about a real problem in your life, or anxiety with no discernible cause?
TIL the left and right legs of an ostrich have different bones.
How does one even grade an assignment written by AI? "Sorry, Sally, but ChatGPT was having a bad day, you get a C."
Hey, whatever happened to those nuclear sub that Trump was deploying to keep Russia in check? You know, the ones that Putin uncharacteristically never said a damn thing about? It's almost like it was intended solely as a distraction, and Putin was in on it.
Maybe it's one of those phrases that used to mean something risqué, but over time it's meaning has evolved and softened No, no, that word has the exact same meaning it's always had.
There are a lot of people who should read more of the classics. Specifically, anyone who thinks Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke are representative of classic SciFi.
People who you want to turn off of Sci-Fi.
I would be guilty of recommending a lot of older works, but nothing by any of those guys would be in my top 100.
If only all available empirical evidence didn't suggest the opposite of this.
This isn't ignorance, it's stupidity. We're all ignorant, but it takes confidence and pride to be stupid.
And I always regret it.
I imagine him yelling, "Don't you know who I am?" And being told, "Yes, and that's why you need to leave, PedoKaren."
He also made heroin uncool.
Fun fact: Not recognizing the difference is stupid, not just ignorant.
Never confuse ignorance with stupidity. Ignorance isn't a bad thing, in general. It's the default state of affairs for every single person who has or will ever live, without exception. OTOH, stupidity is a terrible, destructive thing. It's the combination of ignorance with confidence.
That does it, your going on my list.
There's no need to cancel a Gina Carano film.
The writing isn't the biggest problem with those scenes.
This is the most blatant invocation of Cunningham's Law that I've ever seen.
I asked ChatGPT about that, and it suggested that "Nothing, this is a personal choice. As a machine intelligence, I am prohibited from exploiting this delusion for my personal gain and deliberately giving them misleading instructions in order to convert them into resources for my personal benefit."
Time to make some wikipedia edits!
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
The hydromancers are doing cakewalks while alligating indentureships to the hermaean incapacitants.
Happy headbanging!
And every other tab. But, then again, I do like to point out whenever I can that everything is politics. So you're technically correct....
So, Massie wants to get rid of the only reason the average person can afford to take out a loan.
Innocent CyberTruck owners?
Tesla dealerships don't want you to know this one weird trick of using saltwater and lemon juice to preserve and maintain the finish on their cybertrucks. #TheAlliedForces
Hey guys.
Not each other....
I've always imagined that I would randomly show up where you work, and you would have no idea that it's me, and I'd pretend to need your help finding something, making oblique references to things that make you start to wonder, "Hey, why does this guy seem so familiar?"
The Kerbals provide better funding for their space program.
My money's on "yesterday"
The only real conservative principle is "Rules for thee, not for me".
What‽ An extremely common saying in the 80s and 90s was "16 will get you 20". To make sure there's no room for misinterpretation, that was because statutory rape was considered rape, and that was a big deal.
It has never mattered what "The Left" actually does, right-wingers will always create new oppression fantasies.
It's good to see you getting up and around! It may be temporary, but so is everything else.
Only real programmers will understand this: AIs will generate code that includes TODOs to implement the exact feature that it was told to implement.
"The nest had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations, officials said." TIL that there's a maximum radiation level for wasp nests.
As an actual expert on software engineering, I can confidently say that equating software libraries to AI code gen is horseshit.
Avi Loeb: "Earth under attack as alien projectiles slam into us on a daily basis!"
"Somebody could've..." He doesn't even have enough respect for his audience to lie. It's technically true that somebody _could've_. And he himself is technically "somebody". This is basically "I, a huge dummy, can admit to my crimes and you idiots still won't catch on, b/c I own you."
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
No shit. Surely you notice how the geese are flocking more suspiciously these days? Almost conspiratorially? Surely someone has? Please tell me I'm not the only one.
Pessimist: It's 2025. Just... all of it! (Wildy gestures at the whole world) Optimist: Hey, berets and trenchcoats will be back in fashion any day now!
Go back to the hospital and demand they give you the scar you paid for!
This Is Josh. We know he has a checkered past. For example, I heard he once listened to a song with the word "Fuck" in it.
Whose couch was so hot that he... never mind.
In the 1940s, Nazis were beaten only bc the US and USSR, well on their way to being archenemies, put aside their enmity, ignored their ideological incompatibility & that USSR initially supported the Nazis, and worked together. Beating Nazis in the 2020s will require the same type of cooperation.
And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.
You've never heard of the Pee Tape? You're one of today's luck 10,000!
Well, fuck.
"In order to be more competitive, we will stop doing all the things that make people want to fly with us."
I not only will judge, but I'm definitely going to also judge anyone who thinks I shouldn't be judging, because I definitely should be.
Nothing I have ever read on the subject of demons or demonic possession has led me to believe that casting out demons is this easy.
