I keep seeing job posts that have requirements like “must be excited about AI tools”. If the shit was good people would be excited on their own.

It’s all slop from the worst, soulless, people.

It’s a post-truth world for many people and maybe always has been. Feelings are the only things that matter. The “facts don’t care about your feelings” line was, as always, projection.

I think few people think they’re reasonable and not extremist, even when they are relative to the Overton window.

Like, the guy who wants to deport all immigrants thinks he’s a centrist because he doesn’t want to kill them.

Some combination of literal child and troll, I expect.

Broader experience will help you make more informed decisions about the world.

Also when you say something like “I’ve never met an atheist who didn’t celebrate Christmas” you sound extremely, let’s say, provincial, and that may have adverse consequences for you in some social contexts.

Hello.

Also meet more people of various backgrounds.

Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?

Every jury I’ve been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I’ve only been on two, so it’s a small sample size.

Many things are completely arbitrary and yet have weight. Laws. Language. Being arbitrary is not sufficient reason to discard the idea on its own.

It has basis in reality in that it reflects the experience and judgement of many people. It’s a common expression. Given this post seeks the judgment of people, that basis is insufficient to discard it.

Your reasoning is bad.

(46/2)+7 = 30. 30 is the floor. 25 is too young.

Probably because all the horrible shit trump does takes up all the space.

The soul of the USA is rotten. We don’t believe in collective things like mass transit.

I’m surprised there aren’t more cancer patients who decide fuck it and aggressively crash a board meeting.

They’re still there for, well, I can think of three reasons.

People vote for them. Organizing people to vote is hard for various reasons, but that mechanism is still present.

They’re not murdered. Always an option, but certainly an escalation that doesn’t scale well.

They’re not expelled. Wikipedia says "In the entire history of the United States Congress, 21 members have been expelled: 15 from the Senate and six from the House of Representatives. Of these 21 members, 17 were expelled for supporting the Confederate States in 1861 and 1862. ", so that’s not a commonly used option.

Personally I worry that if non-violent options fail, more people will see violence as an acceptable option.

Match group should be broken up.

My hot take has always been that Xbox was a stupid project. They had windows. People play video games on windows. They should have made steam and something like steam machines 25 years ago.

Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don’t.

Well surely you can agree that letting men into women’s change rooms

If the idea is that that’s a no-no because men are sexually attracted to women, then I must remind you that gay people exist.

If the idea is that men cannot be trusted, then there are many other spaces where men have power that should be examined first.

Conservatives are generally a combination of stupid, ignorant, and cruel.

Skyrim. It was at best “fine” for me. I really dislike level scaling. The combat felt unsatisfying. I don’t remember the story. It’s not weird like Morrowind. The magic and enchanting was over-simplified.

But for many people it’s their grand joy. So I guess that’s good for them.
