I suppose you don’t believe that a kid invented Wolfenoot, either.

What a lot of people seem to be missing is…you don’t need to create a computer that mimics a human brain. We have tons and tons of human brains already. There’s no shortage of them, so there’s no need to program a synthetic one. What we do need is a super-advanced computer brain. It isn’t going to think like a human, and that’s good.
- Comment on Please bro 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but wouldn’t that mean we’d also have to completely understand how a human brain works? The last I heard, the most advanced brain that scientists fully understood was like a flatworm or something.
- Comment on Please bro 3 weeks ago:
We know it’s not? How? How do we know that?
- Comment on Please bro 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, that isn’t what it was designed for. A competent AI would simply call up a calculator app, have it do the calculation, and then report back the result.

Because it’s so much easier to tell robot to do thing than to do thing yourself.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
Everyone who voted for Harris demonstrated that genocide was not a deal-breaker for them. Gazans being starved, tortured, and killed was not a red line for them. And yet they pretend that this position gives them the moral high ground to condemn others, as you’re doing here.
I understand why you’re angry, but that anger should be directed towards the Democratic establishment: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all the rest who enabled a genocide.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
Voting for a candidate that won’t clear 5% is just as bad if not worse than skipping out on the election.
I’m still going to do the right thing, even if only .0000000000000001% are doing the right thing.
The question isn’t why am I trying to help Stein clear 5%; the question is why you aren’t.
That protest vote was summarily ignored before it was even cast and won’t effect any level of change.
I don’t protest vote. I think that’s stupid. That would be like writing in Mickey Mouse or something like that. I’m voting for a candidate’s platform that I believe in, not against another candidate’s. Ironically, a “protest vote” would more accurately reflect many votes for Harris, i.e. people who didn’t care about her platform but wanted to stop Trump.
BTW, my vote was not ignored. It was counted. You can see how many votes Stein got on her Wikipedia article.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
Genocide is a black-and-white issue. When voting, the second-best thing you can do is not vote for a pro-genocide candidate. The best thing you can do is vote for an anti-genocide candidate. In this election, there were two: Cornel West and Jill Stein.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
Not supported genocide, for one
When did she say that? She gave every indication that she would continue Biden’s policies.
A vote for Stein was effectively a vote for the current regime.
When has Stein ever endorsed genocide?
Hope you’re happy with the results
If you’re a Biden-Harris voter, you’re the one who should be happy. Trump is only continuing Biden’s policies. Agreeing with Biden’s position on Gaza but disagreeing with Trump’s position must take some serious mental gymnastics.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
I’m judging the people who stayed home, too; just not as harshly. There were at least two candidates on the ballot who had the correct position on Gaza, so those voters don’t have an excuse.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t “let Trump win”. I can’t control how other people vote.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
As someone who voted for Jill Stein, what did you think that Kamala was going to do differently?
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, imagine caring about people in another country that you’ll never even meet. I mean, how do I even know that Gaza is real? It might just be something that Jeffrey Epstein and Vladimir Putin made up to make Democrats look bad!
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 4 weeks ago:
Fuck every last person who voted against Gaza. Free Palestine.

What’s interesting is that some people read this and think it means “bigotry isn’t a problem anymore”, instead of “the rich use bigotry to control the masses”. You have to address bigotry as well as the economic issues.
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 2 months ago:
Okay, they “don’t pay taxes”, but the government still takes the money and then returns it if they ask for it (i.e. file a tax return). That isn’t quite the same as not paying.
Also, you have to be stupidly poor to get all of your taxes returned.

I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver.
You are defending BestBuy in the very next sentence.
Doordash is designed to deliver food, not expensive electronics. You can bet that if somebody designed a delivery service for electronics, they wouldn’t make it this easy to steal shit. If the driver decides to take your food and eat it themselves, you’re out…what? $25-35? A $700+ laptop is a whole other level.

I don’t think that we need million-dollar movies. And, no, I don’t think that humans would quit making art if you removed the profit motive. We’ve been making art going all the way back to pre-history, and most of those artists were not wealthy. Art wasn’t something created by capitalism in order to get people to fork over dollars for the latest Marvel Cinematic Explosion.

We also wouldn’t have any media if everyone pirated.

If nobody copied, a lot of media would get lost to time.

“Some”? I would say “most”. Why do you think that is? Just a coincidence?

The fucking gender-norm police. Typically older folks. I once had people snickering at me for holding a bag with the crook of my arm, instead of the manly way, with my hand. And you better not cross your legs the wrong way when you’re sitting!
