  Liberal mem- bers of the credentialed classes love to use the word empower when they talk about “people,” but the use of that verb objecti- fies the recipients of their help while implying that the people have no access to power without them.

  I’m loving just the introduction.

  I did indeed.

  I blame Samsung’s appalling autocorrect.

  $1 billion !?

  That is insane.

  Elite Dangerous had a budget of £8m… if Cloud Imperium Games can’t release SC for a hundred times that amount is because it’s a gift.

  One of my high school’s two chemistry teachers was missing a hand… due to an (undisclosed) chemistry incident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you're doing ReSeArCh rong!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The ‘research’ that the “do your own research” people are referring to isn’t peer reviewed scientific literature.

  It’s other fools’ social media rantings.

  Audiophile are the stupidest conceited fopls who have ever been parted from their money.

  Don’t forget your Audiophile grade cat5e cables for your NAS! Plug them in the right way though so the arrows point away from the NAS!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some common or everyday *unforced errors* to be wary of?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not leaving margin for error.

  E.g. catch the bus/train before the one you _need_to. So, when it’s late or canceled there’s still the next one.

  E.g.

  Are you [redacting] me?

  Aether. Ether is something else.

  grice’s maxims

  usingenglish.com/…/grices-conversational-maxims.h… for those, like me, who did not know what Grice’s Maxims are. It’s a short read.

  You fight like my sister!

  I’ve fought your sister, that’s a compliment!

  Great movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m tired of cornposting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like persephone playing a saxophone.

  Pretend it’s corn and shit post it, I guess.

  Xbox.

  A hundred horses, all pulling in different directions.

  Does it mean anything other than fucking rats?

  Never interrupt your enemy while they’re making a mistake.

  The horn and a middle finger are already well entrenched as communication tools.

  The quality is quite poor, but I’m reasonably sure that being able to talk to at people sounds worse.

  Having said that, the idea of CB radio is cool.

  Bone helping juice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.

  This is is a remarkably valuable skill, and remarkably rare.

  I’ll stay quiet even in that case if it looks like the answer’s close to the surface of the conversation anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Likewise.

  Gravity Falls is pretty good on that front too.

  It’s Xitter, pronounced as “sh”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of those days⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OP had an ambiguous notation. One that tends to be taught in schools as the way to present a ‘proper fraction’ (or perhaps compound fraction, i forget, it’s not important) by factoring out the integer component.

  Later on in schooling, one is discouraged from using the notation because of the entirely reasonable way of interpreting it that you’ve used when thinking algebraicly.

  It’s like that Facebook shit that uses the division operator. It’s ambiguous, so there is no way to be authoritative in the interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are children always portrayed as the epitome of "innocence", when a lot of kids are evil af and bully their peers, and name-calling runs rampant in schools?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fight is almost always the last resort as it’s the most energy expensive option.

  One has to be taught to prioritize fight over the others: hence soldiers needing training.

  Then again, I’m reasonably sure there’s some kind of G21N gene present in at least one country’s population that buggers that up.
