Nazis: If you support LGBT you’re a pedophile. And we’re already coming for you.

People, for some fucking reason: Pedophiles get fucked, do what you want to them, erase them at any cost!!

“Please hold this paper target in front of your face while I shoot at it.”

“Sounds dangerous but I see you are aiming at the paper so I should be fine.”

I’m making fun of the juxtaposition of people that express frustration/animosity for Windows with the need to stay on Windows in order to consume cutting edge video games.

It gets to be comical. Something about the “height” difference. Like you have the giant “They’re taking away my ownership of my data and my very computer!” standing next to little old “But I like my raytracing.”

“My data is being exposed in the name of corporate AI!” next to “But I can’t play games with anticheat with my friends.” It’s funny. I’m going to laugh.

With or without putting in the water?

“Sucking off Bill Gates is bad, but Linux doesn’t support video games”

And hire an Outsource Manager so you can farm out most grunt work to underpaid devs in other countries.

That’s weird – we water our soil with nutrients like “there’s no point in voting”, “they’re all out to get us”, “politicians are shit”, “nothing changes”, “governments are bad”.

I wonder why people haven’t been motivated to fight. Whenever they express faith in our leaders, or institutions, or have any positivity, we’re quick to shut them down. But still.

I was thinking more along the lines of “install and play this free unity game while it siphons personal data off your computer and sends it back to epic servers”

They’re specifically getting something of value in return for the good or service and then claiming it’s free and that customers are not customers, merely “users.”

I don’t get how something is allowed to be labeled “free” when the terms of usage make you barter your data.

I figure we can round that stuff to the center in many cases since we’re dealing with IQ which is scuffed and because people subtly change day to day / year to year. Like we’re fuzzily clustered around the hill top and the fuzzy groups to either side are pretty tiny.

Edit: oh you mean more stratification. I never heard that before, I need to learn about that.

Leave stupid and smart people out of it. Average people are 96% of earth. Don’t you think it’s a little mean for 98 people to blame 2 village idiots for everything? The problem is perfectly average, intelligent, reasonable humans. They’re destroying everything.

Why not couch the article as “a vulnerability was found and patched” instead of “something bad could have happened”?

“STORE COULD HAVE BEEN ROBBED!! A bystander noticed the door wasn’t locked, with the owner realizing he hadn’t been locking it correctly. There is no evidence anyone broke in.”

News in the porcelain village in Oz.

Also Weinstein hiring Black Cube to discredit his accusers. Black Cube is all ex spies and sophisticated malware. Fusion centers are all about parallel reconstruction. Taking on a corp / billionaire (the legal way) means going up against a nation state level threat.

Hah can you imagine? I’m just dubious about Trump having a mandate.

The majority voted for Trump in a country with voter suppression, gerrymandering, and even terrorist threats against voters / poll workers. I don’t know what to think of that statistic in light of… many exhausting decades of bullshit.

I think if you were like a handler, close to the deed but not likely to immediately go down, and that the hit was obviously a hit, and it generated the kind of story Iran could package to their benefit, then they would pay you.

Don’t be a spastic killer, don’t leave any questions, get a clean kill and get out, and I’d imagine most countries would pay up. If it works once they’ll want it to work again.

It’s definitely more federal than something like our roads. Fair Housing is a civil rights era law that is federal, and HOPA is a modification to those older laws. I don’t know how a state would break that, or if it’s reasonably possible.

All I meant by the white neighborhood thing is to say that contradictions in laws only matter if you challenge them, and it’s unlikely people will want to “fix” this law when it’s aimed at helping old people, especially ones who are sick or close to death.

There’s a law called HOPA that says it’s legal. You can have white only neighborhoods if you have the laws, until someone challenges them, changes them, etc. There’s a specific allowance for old people and nobody wants to take it away enough to have changed it.

Diffraction gratings because light is cool, and I like the pretty colors.

Not super modern but you can 3d print in a mold, or even make chocolate, and it will look “holographic.” You don’t add anything, you just manipulate the surface of the object to have tiny grooves with thickness in the nanometer range. Then light hits it and waves do their thing and we perceive a rainbow effect.

This is from a Reddit post, one of the top homemade “holographic chocolate” posts.

Assuming Christianity and that the lore was real there’s more fundamental questions.

Can you perceive the universe accurately and fully? If good and evil exist, are you accurately observing them?

If this world is like an illusion and eternity will be in heaven or hell, what does it mean to do good or evil here on earth? You commit evil and it will propel you towards hell, the"real", while the people who suffer from your evil fare better here in the “illusion.” It’s like evil is when someone kills their own soul, and has less to do with the literal consequences here in this universe.

Related the the first question, what about the fact that their god is literally defined as good and is essentially an Eldritch being that exists within the very unfolding of history itself? Stepping into this lore and trying to trap this thing with a simple, elegant rhetorical cage is like… trying to catch Cthulhu with a cage.
