The chronic inability to empathize with others is a cognitive deficiency.

How the fuck do undocumented immigrants join the military? I feel like that’s only possible because the military explicitly set up their policies to allow it.

Undercook fish? Wolves. Overcook chicken? Wolves. Miss a dentist appointment without cancelling? Wolves.

It’s not like ICE is made up of a random assortment of Americans. It’s not much of a surprise that they would be talking to republicans basically all the time.

Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.

If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.

Directly government-funded healthcare and government-run single payer insurance are essentially the same thing. There’s some rationale for keeping the government-run single payer system (whether you call it insurance or not) at arm’s length from the sitting government to prevent too much political chaotic nonsense each time another government takes power, but they achieve the same things in terms of health care delivery and risk management.

The concept of insurance makes sense - pooling risk so that everyone can share a little pain all the time, so that unlikely but catastrophic events don’t wipe individuals out. Making this arrangement for-profit is asinine.

His entire business model is based on reducing the efficiency of health care spending and he is directly incentivized to maximize profits by minimizing health care spending efficiency.

I think the gameplay of 2 was more “complete” and streamlined. I briefly played 1 but the spent thousands of hours in aoe2 and literally forgot what aoe1 was even like. When I went briefly tried 1 again it felt clunky. That said nothing wrong with enjoying aoe1.

If you call them out they’ll call you closed-minded.

You just have to control the rent by buying a gun and shooting in the air every other day.

Okay seriously how many of Tubervilles ancestors are literally tubers?

Don’t worry, someone will be along shortly to recommend 2000 pages of communist literature that wouldn’t even prove their point even if you read it all.

The media still doesn’t know how to deal with Trump. Part of it is deliberate, but a part of this is possible because he’s exploiting fundamental truths about political discourse - when the US president talks about acquiring, annexing, or conquering more territory, it is actually news. There’s no world in which it’s not news. Even if the intent is distraction.

I didn’t know there was a term for that. Forget debugging, in my algorithms class this is how I figured a lot of stuff out the first time too. I actually don’t know how else you’re supposed to do it. You imagine running through a loop, what specific tasks must be accomplished, and then code those tasks.

Isn’t Low Carb debunked?

What does this even mean? Nobody that I know of has ever asserted that low carb diets are the only way to lose weight. Low carb diets tend to reduce appetite which helps in achieving a calorie deficit, that’s all .

An effective protest requires a call to action. What would the call to action for his inauguration protest be?
