Liberals are conservatives, they hate leftists.
- Comment on What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison? 1 week ago:
Ironically medical care is a right to prisoners but it’s not for everyone else.
Medical care in US prisons is largely handled by a few for-profit companies that make money by providing inadequate care or refusing care at all. Prisoners routinely die from medical neglect. Healthcare behind bars is more capitalism, not less.
www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2211252
Oh, and healthcare is not a right, it’s the State’s duty to care for people in it’s custody. That means prisoners have no agency over their care. For example if you’re arrested at an accident, the EMTs gain consent from the police, not the patient. This is how EMTs can administer anti-psychotics and strong sedatives on the sidewalk after the pigs have kicked your ass.

Edging plutonium into criticality with a screwdriver is like lighting a match to get a better look at a stick of dynamite. It’s embarrassing that it got two people this way.

The physicist and the philosopher are both claiming that time is the order in which we observe things happening, the actual dispute is over the most fundamental force in science: nomenclature.

The reason Dwyer shot himself is that he was facing prison time for a corruption scheme and if he died while still in office, his family got full benefits. Oh, and it turned out he was innocent.
- Comment on Site that let's me filter by standalone novels only? 3 weeks ago:
Lots of times you can ‘one and done’ a series. Dune comes to mind as a great novel on it’s own even if you ignore the rest of the series.
But I understand what you mean. The only time I’ve been glad to read an entire series was Kings “Gunslinger”.

- Comment on Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT" and "TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE" will be released on 4K UHD on June 25. 4 weeks ago:
Team America WP is like fight club or Starship Troopers, except it’s progressives who tend to miss the message completely.
Sure, the first 5 min lampoons arrogant, ignorant, and destructive military adventurism. But everybody forgets that the movie resolves when this same adventurism saves the world from irrational evil enabled by weak Western leftists.
The overt message of the movie is both extremes are bad and at the end of the day we have to accept that the status-quo is what keeps us safe. Team America Enlightened Centrism more like it.

The thing to know about nihilism is that it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter.

On the SNES, green blood and all.
- Comment on Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now? 1 month ago:
-
The structure of the Constitution favors conservative movements because it’s undemocratic and designed to resist change.
-
Because too many voters only pay attention every four years and wonder why there is no bespoke candidate for them.

- Comment on Just 5 more minutes 1 month ago:
This is the logical problem with miracles. It’s never reasonable to believe that a divine force has intervened because there will always be a more likely explanation. A miracle is an occurrence which is so unlikely that only the intervention of the divine can explain it. That means that any other explanation for the occurrence, no matter how ridiculous, must be more likely than divine intervention. And a reasonable person must prefer the likely explanation over the less likely one.
If a mountain range (harmlessly) sprung up in the middle of the Pacific and spelled out, in comic sans, “LDS is the true religion -XOX Jesus”, it’d still be more likely that this was a natural phenomena or alien intervention than the hand of God.
This creates a paradox where both of the following statements are true:
-
Belief in miracles is never reasonable.
-
Reason can’t confirm a miracle, and thus is an inadequate tool to evaluate them.

People don’t make fun of starcitizen because “games journalism”. They laugh because it’s development hell is funny. Even if a satisfactory product come out the other end, it’ll still be an internet legend.
