Not many people have them, but the aliens don’t know which ones - and they already have the anal probe equipment handy.

Gaslighting is so last year. We need new slang - fenceposting, backyarding, BarneyRubbling.

Such binary thinking.

Boy those are some memories! My comment was actually just a cheeky response to “you do you” - which always triggers me for some reason.

LOL when Halflife came out I worked at World Opponent Network - which Valve acquired a few years later, long after I was gone.

Halflife was 25 years ago, but ok you do you.

Sad but I can see their point, considering that most customer attention spans are limited to memes now.

LOL two people typing on the same keyboard at the same time was possibly the most computer illiterate thing I’ve ever seen on TV, especially considering what century this is.

Neither - for hacking I hire a genius Asian geek girl with piercings and a green sideways ponytail.

- Comment on I washed my black underwear and now one of my black socks looks brownish on one side. How do I return the sock to its original black? 1 week ago:
It really depends on what brand of sock and where you got it. The trick is to go there again and get another pair.

If you mean they deliberately killed your dog, I probably wouldn’t forgive that.

Yeah the mass of goo will probably embrace it for the convenience, and the resistant few will be demonized as likely terrorists and go underground.

Thanks for the comments on rationalism - the more I read about it the more it feels like I tend toward that way of thinking myself. But assassinating a CEO only seems rational at meme level. Historically, industries consistently soldier on after incidents like this. There’s an immediate reaction - in this case suddenly allowing more insurance claims - and then normal business practices gradually resume as the public loses interest. And the public reliably does lose interest, due to distractions, ever-diminishing attention spans, and the fact that all news becomes boring as it gets older. I don’t see how Mangione could have expected shooting a CEO to have a different outcome if he were thinking rationally. IMO he wasn’t. This shooting seems like a pretty typical, ultimately ineffective act. The people it will affect most will be the cheering multitudes currently flying high with revolutionary zeal, who will crash the hardest when nothing really gets better.

No, the word “dispassionate” perfectly describes when I’m forced to work on necessities instead of things I love.
- Comment on oh man 1 week ago:
OTOH reason has kept a roof over my head when my passion would have had it doing Arduino projects or D&D campaigns instead of working.
- Comment on oh man 1 week ago:
He may have - apparently he’s very well read. My guess is he would disagree with that second one, but I don’t know the guy.
- Comment on oh man 1 week ago:
Based on his Twitter history he’s a “rationalist” aka “gray tribe” - generally tech-savvy guys who believe pure reason sits above ideologies.

Sometimes when I’m chewing a mouthful of food in the car it occurs to me that if I suddenly get in a wreck I will have no control over my gasp reflex.

Our throat region seems poorly thought out. As somebody said recently, tube you shove food in or you die is right next to tube you must never block with food or you die.
