Whenever anyone asks me what fictional universe I want to live in, I say the Culture universe. Hands down the best sci-fi universe to live in as a regular humanoid. It’s a post-scarcity galactic paradise where if I ever get bored, I can plug into a Matrix-style simulation of any other fictional universe that’s 100% real to my senses. Or I’ll take any of a number of drugs that a gland in my brain can generate at will for shiggles. The possibilities are limitless.
I’ll take a shot at this if you first explain what commonalities you see between this guy and Harris. I’m interested to see why you think they’re at all similar.
Make homelessness illegal, but don’t worry! You can just buy a house and then you’ll be home! That’s why people are homeless, right? Because they just refuse to buy homes? Fuck, I wish CA would get a governor that’s not transparently gunning to be president someday. Maybe we’d get actual help and not virtue signaling horseshit like this.
Oh dip, they’re demanding an answer this time. He’s gonna have to respond or else they’ll… checks papers oh, they’ll just demand it again. Must be nice to avoid any and all repercussions from breaking the law over and over and over again.
Well boo-friggin-hoo! Nobody’s holding a gun to his head and forcing him to run. His legal problems are 100% his own damn fault, and he’s putting the whole country up for sale to the highest bidder in order to evade restitution. I eagerly await the day when I never have to hear about this blowhard moron ever again.
Nah, nah, friendo. That’s John McEntee and he’s a die hard Trump acolyte. Fascists ain’t cute. What we’re looking at here is a punchable face.
That wasn’t witchcraft! What she did was Headology, plain and simple. Far more efficient. All you have to do is make the recipient understand that the lies they tell themselves in the dark corners of their mind are flimsy untruths that everyone can see through.
She played his ass like neon orange ten cent kazoo. With a giant button on top labeled “Insecurity Complex”. Little wonder that he’s chickening out of further debates now. Though, I expect he’ll make a lot of noise about doing a debate on Fox. Or Newsmax. Or maybe on RT, live from Moscow.
Sucks to suck Donnie.
THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS
The first time the moderators countered his obvious dog-whistle lies I was absolutely blown away. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Then I started laughing and didn’t stop.
The correction was really well done and completely natural by both moderators, I almost didn’t register what happened. Love to see it.
That’s a cool illustration of a great scene from The Dark Tower series! It’s a good read if you’re down for reading a finished series.
Aaah! I did and instantly regretted it. That’s creepy AF.
This just in: Worst Vice Presidential pick in human history continues to back Russian-owned Holocaust-denying millionaire lackey. More at eleven.
I’m amazed. Basic IT training should be enough to know that Starlink systems at the very least would be advertising their location to a third party non-US megacorp.
Easy solution: nationalize Starlink. That keeps it out of the hands of a lunatic man-child, and sailors can get their sports scores! Talk about a win win situation.
Dunno about bike infrastructure in San Francisco as I’ve only been there a few times, but one variable you should mind is that South Lake Tahoe is snowy during a good chunk of the winter. Don’t plan to move there and bike around unless you’re comfortable biking in the snow.
It can be warm in Tahoe in the summer, but the snow is a certainty and cannot be avoided if you’re living there. Tahoe is usually fairly mild, or it has been while I’ve been there. It’s also way high up in elevation, which can cause respiratory problems for some until they acclimate.
Why’s he got bulletproof glass around him? Did one of those crazy cat ladies that I keep hearing about throw their cats at him or something? /s obviously but that’d be funny as hell
Well, sure! How are they going to sell you the $450 replacement ring in two years if you’re able to replace the dead battery by paying $30 to a stoned college kid working at a fix-it kiosk in your local mall? Consumers, they never know what’s good for them. /s
41 points as of right now, so I guess so? Though I wouldn’t term them bonus points. It was more meant as a preemptory commiseration and to mock the cohort of bootlickers-of-billionaires that pop in from time to time.
This is what AI should be used for. There’s another great article on the same site about using AI to find qanats too which was fascinating.
