- Comment on Judas 2 weeks ago:
Matthew says he hanged himself, Luke (in Acts) says he…bought a field and burst open in it.
Acts 1 18:
“With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out”
Doesn’t change your point really I just think it’s a fun inconsistency to think about. One option so much weirder than the other.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
We don’t know.
The US came back from a US president hiring private goons to spy on his political opponents.
The US came back from a US president illegally selling weapons to Iran to fund right wing militias in South America.
The US came back from a US cabinet member taking literal bribes from oil companies to give them oil drilling rights on federal land.
The US came back from a US president illegally firing a cabinet member and installing his own lackey.
But it didn’t HAVE to.
I don’t think there’s really such a thing as a ‘point of no return’ for a Democracy. But it is possible to get to a point after which you don’t return.

But monkeys never ask questions.
Science has yet to determine if monkeys would be able to type “wherefore art thou Romeo?”

I could see it either way. The competing visions for ancient evil: Murdering children for asking questions, or the existence of unmarried women.

What I want to know is what’s up with two-name first names like Mary Jo or Betty Lou. Did that happen before or after the invention of middle names?

I just have a lot of sleep inertia. Sleepy when I get up, not sleepy at bed time.
I did have a vitamin D deficiency without knowing it though.

The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.

Real answer, Elon made it more friendly to the far right (the racists and Nazis) and unbanned a bunch of them who had previously been banned for being too racist and Nazi. Then he introduced a subscription service where you pay to have Twitter spread your content.
So that started a doom loop: The far right bought the additional views, people who didn’t appreciate the extra racism and Nazi views on their timeline left Twitter, but the view boost was paid for so it kept pushing those views to the fewer people who remained, then THAT volume of hate pushed more people away, etc.
It probably got to the point that they couldn’t keep paid views high enough with just people who care about politics and they had to just push at all costs, eventually to you.
- Comment on Electrons are easy 5 months ago:
The name was too cool. If they called it something super long like Non-electromagnetic interacting granular happening (NEIGH) we would all say it’s too confusing and I don’t understand, as opposed to “I get it and it must be wrong for reasons so simple a layman has thougnt of them.”
- Comment on I genuinely feel like I wouldn't live that differently even if I suddenly became ultra-wealthy. Am I kidding myself? 5 months ago:
It’s all a hypothetical, feel free to just decide you are that type of person. No harm in it.
In real life though, if money is no object, the difference between a 2017 normal car and a 2025 luxury car is literally just “do you want extra features and a bigger screen on a car that will last longer?” It just doesn’t make sense to get the cheaper version, unless you are giving up something else because you only have a limited amount of money.

So, obviously, people don’t generally change their legal gender for an advantage somewhere. But if they do, that’s a pretty good sign, not that it’s too easy to change your gender, but that there’s a gender bias in the law.
So arguably, the easier it is to change your legal gender, the less of a problem gender-based affirmative action is. Conservatives must love this! End liberal overreach in one easy step!

He somehow monetized being a Trump reply guy back in 2016, every Trump tweet you’d see this guy with a snarky little “well actually I prefer an X that WASN’T Y” or whatever. Within seconds.

How often do you wear a suit? Dry clean as necessary, hang it up between uses. I’ve never ironed a suit.
