In the before times you would buy a new album and listen to it from start to finish, several times. It was Tuesday.

I still enjoy listening to music in album form. I can think of many songs that are not discrete pieces of art without the track(s) before and after.

A local radio station once played “Golden Slumbers” without also playing “carry that weight” and they apologized for it the next day.

It’s always confused me when people make a huge distinction between friendship and romance. By my thinking, a romantic relationship is a type of friendship. Like squares and rectangles.

The idea that you could be in a committed relationship with someone who’s not your friend seems bizarre and hostile somehow.

AI =/= shitpost, rather AI == shit.

I don’t understand. Why does Brave not exist? Is it because the developer is a chud? Fair enough. Is it because it’s Chrome? If so, does that apply to Vivaldi?

Drone warfare is becoming racialized just like terrorism in the media and for the same reason; it’s accessible to oppressed people.

Notice how noble it is when a Ukrainian defends his home with murder bots. Let an Arab do the same thing and it’s diabolical somehow.

It implies that Hezbollah are aggressors,

This is only coherent with the “history started on Oct 7” mentality. Hezbollah are terrorists, so is the IDF. Trying to decide who’s in the moral right is madness, but who started it isn’t complicated or ambiguous.

This is DEI for robots. If you have to lower the standards to qualify; you don’t.

There is an English equivalent: burgher. (pronounced like hamburger)

It just means a “person of town”. And you don’t have to memorize ludicrous French spelling.

This wouldn’t’ be the first time medical misogyny was fatal.

When professional medicine was new, a doctor (male) was about three or four times more likely to kill a pregnant person or their infant than the midwife (female), who knew about washing her hands. The AMA was a pioneer in early American anti-abortion activism. Not for moral objection, just to discredit midwives and clever-women who dominated reproductive care at that time.

Conspiracy theories are for people who want to feel like they understand the world. It’s an emotional support ideology.

This is part of a global push to end anonymity on the internet. And it’s not about surveillance by the State or even censorship, it’s about surveillance by capital. The State want’s to control everyone who’s a threat. Capital wants the same thing, just without the last three words.

Dude is a regular thief. Vaccines are irrelevant.

The idea that research would be retracted simply because the author is a shit-heel would decimate all of human knowledge. The Epstein scandal alone could cause a new dark age.

The “Dunning-Kruger” effect directly contradicts this. It states that experts will overestimate the lay-person’s knowledge. (it’s the second, and often forgotten result)

I’m not saying either is correct, there are plenty of reasons to doubt Dunning-Kruger including that it’s results are among the “reproduceability crisis” in Psychological research.

edit: yea I misunderstood that.

I would prefer a different image of Trump. Perhaps one where he’s embracing Netanyahu. Or standing in front of an Israeli flag. Showing Trump at the Western Wall, wearing the scull cap evokes Jewishness rather than Zionism.

I don’t mean to suggest that the creator was antisemitic, just that an anti-Semite would absolutely create this.

If insurance companies were getting hosed by injured people, why don’t they look into ways that cars might cause fewer injuries instead of abandoning the injured?

Capitalism is the enemy of reason.

It’s omnivores that get +2 to int. Predators put all their points into str and dex.

This is a constitutional amendment, y’all realize that’s a generational project, right? Impeachment and removal are trivial by comparison.

The founders didn’t account for the level of government vulnerability to bad actors when they made SC seats lifetime appointments.

The founders didn’t account for lot’s of shit; it’s time to stop pretending these were uniquely wise geniuses and accept that they were shitty politicians just like we’ve got now. America has not changed, corruption, government oppression, and tyranny have been features of our government from day 1. There was no Revolution, more like an under new management.

My misspent youth included methamphetamines. I spelled it out because “meth” seems worse somehow.

Anyway, about 3 days without sleep comes with debilitating brain fog, hallucinations, and wild mood problems. You could probably pass for the fist day, because meth intoxication isn’t as obvious as others, but people will notice that you lost your mind.

Well, you cant’ get good infrastructure because your black in the bad old days. In modern times, you can’t get repairs, because your black. What amazing progress, says John Roberts.
