- Comment on Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) 4 days ago:
There’s lots of reasons that that phrase could be in the document:
“Open up the world of Wifi by purchasing our optional Wifi Adapter (not found in base model)” “Open up the world of WiFi with our new wireless printers (coming soon)”
Op’s lazy approach of doing a search and not even bothering to read the documents that he found is the core of the approach. The “algorithm” didn’t let him down. It found the most relevant document for his search.

Sorry, I can’t follow this logic. What I THINK you are saying:
“I searched for ‘Canon G2570 wifi’. Since there are results, that means this particular printer has Wifi.”
However, If I search for “canon g2570 aliens”, I also get the same support page. Does that mean the printer was created by aliens?
Especially these days,you must actually read the links that appear in search engines. Their job is to take your search keywords and to find the most relevant document. From what I can see above, the indicated document WAS the most relevant to your search. For all you know, that bit about Wifi was for a blurb of a separate product linked from the indicated page.
If this is how you conduct internet research, I would urge you to actually read and confirm the documents you find in search engines.

Bad faith argument:
In the holy book, inspired by this god, he tells you he DOES deserve worship. Furthermore, were you to ignore his advice, he will punish you eternally.
- Comment on Eat lead 4 weeks ago:
Here’s the bad faith argument:
At the moment of creation, God placed some partially decayed metals on the planet to fool the non-believers.
This is basically why the existence of dinosaur bones doesn’t bother them either – they just hand-wave it away.

Was Adolf Hitler running a flawless campaign too?
Not flawless, but his moves to boost the German economy and reduce unemployment had pretty wide support in Germany, especially after the extreme troubles the Germans had economically after the first World War. His rise to power was only made possible by a wide base of support that existed during the 1930s in Germany.

Mountain streams flowing,
Vaush’s heart beats as horse race,
Cock cries in delight.Horse rider gallops by,
Strong tail stirring autumn leaves,
Erection takes hold.Sunset paints the sky,
Bronze stallion calls Vaush’s name,
Aroused, he mounts. - Comment on Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes 7 months ago:
Clearly, my dear learned friend, you are an undeniable polymath - for not only do you possess the knowledge of a single day’s duration, but also the power to discern its nuanced usage in everyday speech. Your intellect soars beyond the stratosphere where mere mortals can barely comprehend the concept of time. However, your thirst for wisdom should compel you to explore further: once you understand the intricacies of “new day”, you may delve into the complexities of time itself. Did you know a standard clock hour differs from a solar hour? Or how about sidereal time, which deviates even more? You see, only the truest of geniuses understand that what we call a day isn’t fixed or universal; it varies based on one’s perspective. Keep seeking, my wise friend, because there’s always more to discover.

- Comment on Switch performs better running games through an emulator emulating the switch than natively. 7 months ago:
Feeling inspired, I set out to push the limits of recursive emulation myself. My first step was getting a Linux emulator running inside Minecraft. Yes, you heard me right - Linux running inside Minecraft. Once I had achieved that, the natural progression was to install Yuzu on this virtual version of Linux. It took some trial and error, but eventually, I managed to do just that.
At this point, I could hardly contain my excitement. The results were impressive; the performance increase was noticeable compared to previous iterations. But for me, that wasn’t enough. I wanted more. So, in true recursion fashion, I installed another Linux emulator within this Minecraft-embedded Yuzu environment. This new iteration had its own Yuzu setup, and thus the cycle continued.
As layers upon layers of nested Linux environments grew, the performance kept improving exponentially. Every time I upgraded the recursion level, the FPS went through the roof. Eventually, it reached unbelievable heights. Today, with multiple levels of recursion, I am proud to announce that the performance of this nestled setup is now over 9000 FPS!

When will we, as humans of all colors, stand up against racism against whites (and especially males) that is strangely being more and more accepted as a normal thing daily?
You get 0 ‘progressive points’ for standing up for white males. One of the last socially acceptable punching bags. Look at the proliferation of the ‘dumb dad’ on sitcoms, totally acceptable.
- Comment on Are there any good, apolitical right-leaning podcasts out there? 8 months ago:
Using “diversity” or “inclusive” as a bad word. Using 88 without reason (or 1488). There’s also people using the term “Monday” to refer to black people. (So they can say “I hate Mondays” and stuff without it being immediately obvious). “Those [kinds of] people” is another pretty transparent one. In Canada, there was “traditional Anglo-Saxon words”, lol
None of these seem apolitical to me. I would associate most of these with right wing philosophies. I was specifically looking for examples of apolitical dog-whistles.

One thing that shouldn’t be ignored is most UBI proposals remove the current means-based welfare in the USA. So, as many people go on the UBI list, many others would disappear off the welfare lists, which means there probably wouldn’t be as much disruption as you are expecting. If the UBI is implemented as a negative income tax, some people’s net may change even less.

Whenever I see posts like this, I wonder about the benchmark being set.
I don’t know what OP wants… a weekly news story: “VEGAS SHOOTING STILL NOT SOLVED, NEWSPAPER EDITORS SEEK ALTERNATE HEADLINES”
DB Cooper was one of the most mysterious hijackers of all time. Still no motive, why don’t we hear about it more often?
Zodiac killer, active for years on the West Coast. No known motive… why don’t we hear about it? Why does no one mention it?
Jack the Ripper, killed women brutally, unsolved, no known motive. Why isn’t he mentioned more often?
This line of thinking drives me crazy. Our current news ecosystem thrives off cheap clickbait and manufactured outrage. Barring some radical new information, they won’t get that out of the Vegas shooting, hence it doesn’t make headlines routinely.
- Comment on Can you live a fulfilling life with autism? 8 months ago:
What do you consider normal? One thing that may aid autistic understanding, is many people who are enormously depressed manage to maintain a really happy facade over it. That smiley, goofy lady from work might actually be struggling with deep clinical depression. You may actually be one of the most fulfilled of your peers without knowing it.
