When I was 14 or 15 I used to play D&D at someone’s house every week. He had a half-brother who was 7 or 8. Of course, the eight teenagers in the room swore constantly, and frequently tried to get him to swear. He was like “I’m not allowed to say that.” and that was the end of it. So, it can work!

you are as incoherent as you are cowardly.

you are responsible for the actions of your country.

barely, at this point. it's been an overtly white supremacist website for multiple years now.

name a time that conservatives got what they wanted and it wasn’t a giant disaster that made *their* life worse

name a time that conservatives got what they wanted and they were actually happy about it

posting on a website where all of the revenue goes directly to a nazi is not healthy, no

it’s kinda wild how persistent this belief is. people are so weird about sex.

my arsenic- and lead-heavy diet was going perfectly until it killed me

The other day I was saying that if I were in trump’s position I’m not sure I could have done a better job of eroding the global influence and power of the united states even if I were doing it on purpose.

the green position was also no new nuclear 20 years ago, though.

If there was one gas station in your whole state they could do it that way. gas is $3 until the underground tank is empty, then I fill it up, this time gas is $2.75. next time was expensive, $3.50. etc.

that would be fine, because there nobody to undercut them.

They know the cost of what’s in *their* ground. that’s the crux of it. there’s no way to know how much the station across the street is going to [be able to] charge, so they can’t really charge based on what they paid, in either direction.

It’s speculative, because they eventually have to buy more, and can’t anticipate how much that will cost.

it is not viable to sell relative to what you paid, because if I pay $10,000 to fill, and in a week you pay $2000, I’m never going to sell my gas, people will just go to you for 1/5 the price.

the united states does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, because it wisely recognizes that basically all of its leaders are guilty of war crimes. There’s functionally no way for the ICC to try Americans.

First thing's first, babe: the meta glasses stay ON during sex. 😤

tbh disneyland has a much richer culture than dubai does.

talking of media literacy, did you know that the nyt often solicits specific opinion pieces from specific people?

do you think that maybe when a publication repeatedly seeks out and pays to publish the same opinions, that might reflect their values in some fashion?

I wish people like this understood that they are allowed to post about what they want to see. Complaining about people posting about real life is ultimately just still posting about real life, except whinier.

If they want to see sports punditry, they should post sports punditry!

yeah, we all know twitter is a nazi website, that’s why a lot of us don’t use it and don’t want posts from it to be imported here

muscular guy with text that says “that’s an ad hominem” and the response is “yeah bro this isn’t a debate, I do not respect you”

me 20 seconds into every conversation with an “AI is gonna take everyone’s job and that’s good, actually” freak:

huh, while editing I sure butchered the grammar on that. 🤦‍♂️

got into a tedious argument with a former coworker whose response to someone saying LLMs can’t produce anything novel by saying his information was obviously out of date and lots of exciting things are happening.

Saying that an LLM can’t produce novel works isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact!

phew, good thing my own existence is not okay with me. I was worried I might be a stereotype for a moment

roddenberry is responsible for me knowing who kevin sorbo is. unforgivable.

those comments are dire.

what I think is that every person who has ever made an argument in the form of “so you think <some totally unrelated thing nobody said>?” should be put in a labor camp and banned from the internet for life.

“only *some* trans and brown people deserve to die in agony.” - an enlightened centrist. 😌

also it’s not even true. the 18-year-olds the US send to warzones have and largely obey rules of engagement designed to de-escalate. If they were treating US streets like a warzone, Renee Good would still be alive.

Yep. I’ve gotten rid of a bunch of software that wouldn’t stop begging me to create more slop, and I won’t be back after the bubble pops.

ironically, making up a Guy to be mad at is one of the most online things possible.
