I’m pleased to report that in reality, I did work with a guy named Gurpreet many years ago, and yes, he was a pretty cool dude.
- Comment on I would like to meet him, he's probably nice 3 days ago:
I enjoyed working with Gurp.

Most people on earth don’t care much about Paris. If you ask 1000 people on earth to do this measurement you’d probably get 1000 different answers. Picking the line that goes through Paris is just a random choice that got enough agreement.
It must be so exhilarating for you, asserting your opinions on weights and measures.
- Comment on Fictional 1 week ago:
There’s no reason to pick those specific things to base your system on.
If you’re not a human, and not living on earth, and are unconcerned with the day to day activities of humans as they go about their lives on earth, I tend to agree.

Anyone come up with a good measure of distance that makes the speed of light a nice round number? I like the metric system, but the meter feels pretty arbitrary. We could do better!
Originally, the meter was defined as one ten millionth the distance from the north pole to the equator, as it runs through Paris. The unit and system were picked for ease of use for day to day activities. It is also tied to the attributes of our planet, which is also how we derived the time units that we use.
That’s the opposite of arbitrary, no?

The CEOs of Wells Fargo and Pfizer should be funding the collapse of this anti education, anti science regime.

Remember the 1936 Berlin Games?iirc the government went out of its way to be accommodating to all attendees.
Banking on Trump being as coordinated and thoughtful as Hitler is not an overly wise way to reassure people.
- Comment on Trump Classifies “Anti-Capitalism” as a Political Pre-Crime 4 weeks ago:
That means that he’s libel whenever and wherever a capitalist can show that his policies harm profits.
- Comment on 2022 vs. 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket prices 4 weeks ago:
It is legitimately dangerous to travel to the United States, because of state sanctioned violence.
At least there’s price gouging to offset concerns about personal safety, the very real possibility of being sent to a Concentration Camp, etc.

- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 5 weeks ago:
Every one of us is utterly replaceable, including the billionaires and multi-billionaires.
For all the status quo that they push for, they don’t actually do anything special.
You could take the average billionaire, strip them of all their worth and hand it over to some millionaire, and basically nothing would change as far as the planet is concerned.
This is not a scenario where we are all NPCs to their game. We are all players, but more to the point, they are as expendable and interchangeable as we are.

- Comment on So she's saying that she's a sexual bull? 1 month ago:
Rumor has it that he is so disliked by his colleagues, that they started circulating the rumor to undermine him.
They’re relying on the fact that it’s so hard to tell what’s true and what’s only highly likely.
- Comment on So she's saying that she's a sexual bull? 1 month ago:
My man husband is a very manly man.
I swear to God, if you bring up the totally not true story that he plays with Barbie dolls, I’m gonna fucking lose it.
- Comment on What is in for the antivax in a government? 1 month ago:
It’s all about control.
If you can convince your cannon fodder to disregard their own health outcomes, you can convince them to go along with pretty much anything.
Then you just hand them their marching orders, and they comply, regardless of their personal consequences.

Message received. Never pay for this game.

I’ll avoid any controversy by not buying the game, and spending elsewhere.

What? We’re not talking about death here, what kind of a reply is that? We’re talking about making a decision at a very young age that might have irreversible consequences, a decision many 20yos are simply ill equipped to make, in particular, when alternatives exist.
So you interjected to state that there are risks associated with procedures.
Thank God you arrived just in time to highlight that getting a vasectomy is not risk-free.
Nice work, champ.

You can also die from a knee replacement.
As it turns out, that’s not the typical outcome, so people still get knee replacements, despite the non-zero chance of death during the procedure.

Your genes, your decision if you want to retain the capacity to spread them or not.
Vasectmies are reversible, so the objections youre facing are irrelevant.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 3 months ago:
He’s acquired a certain set of skills.
My understanding is that his firearms training and proficiency are quite good.
He did a lot of his own stunts, and did train a bit of BJJ and other martial arts training, but probably doesn’t have enough hours of training for proficiency.
With respect to firearms training, I’d put Tom Cruise near the top.
