It’s not. They may have the same goals but one side is MUCH FASTER … I suppose the main question is “are you an accelerationist?” Or would you rather bad things happen more slowly and infrequently?

When you invest money back in the company that’s either R&D or capital expenditure, both are tax deductible and don’t count as profit.

There isn’t a single homeless person successfully taking advantage of society. If you’re “successfully” scamming society, why are you destitute??
Lots of homeless are assholes, belligerent, alcoholic, drug addicts, disregard laws, rules, and procedures. But they’re not “taking advantage”. If they were UNFAIRLY benefiting then they would by definition have more than the bare minimum required to live a decent life, not LESS. It’s the system that’s depriving all of us of the necessities of a dignified life, putting them behind a paywall.

The biggest hint is the names. People who are assholes online LOVE to hide behind anonymity. It is very surprising that 3 people in a row said heinous things using their real names like that.

IEEE style pizza, because then the ingredients appear in the order in which they’re used in the recipe instead of alphabetical by author.

But he previously said “Sex is for making children. Any man who has sex with women because it ‘feels good’ is gay”… So that doesn’t seem to match with him saying you’re supposed to have sex with many women for fun… What the hell is he saying!!!

Yes ravens vocalise… That doesn’t make the original videos not AI slop.
Thanks for finding a real video of a Russian crow. Maybe you could have posted that instead of slop. It’s not the same crow because this one is clearly real. The channel also doesn’t have your “new” video so I’m not sure why you’re claiming it’s the same crow. Neither the humans, nor the background, nor the vocalizations, nor the crow are even similar.
- Comment on Snatching the 12-gauge over the door with the quickness. [sound on] 2 months ago:
This is AI. The background is weird, especially when it’s close to the lady or the Raven. You can look up this video and it’s a dozen different YouTube channels with less than 1000 views with the identical clip.

- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 4 months ago:
The minimum insurance isn’t a scam. If you hit someone and cripple them you’ll be glad for insurance to pay their medical etc…
Comprehensive is absolutely a scam. Just take the money and save it, maybe buy some bonds. Then when it’s time to buy a new car (or when you get your car totaled) you’re already half way to a new car.

While there are essential fats and proteins, there are no essential sugars. Your body can work perfectly fine indefinitely without any sugars of any kind.

Genuinely: magic mushrooms. That’s what it feels like after a trip. All the bullshit is cleaned out, the depressive recurring thoughts, unhelpful beliefs… Just a clean brain ready to get demolished again by our cruel capitalist neoliberal world.

At home both of those are invalid. You close the lid before you flush so you don’t spread particles everywhere (among many other benefits)
Everyone opens the lid/seat to the desired level. Everyone does their business. Everyone closes the lid. Everyone flushes and washes their hands.
True gender equality!

I think that free speech laws are what stopped us from being proactive against these intolerant fascist views.
They turn tolerance from a social contract into a “paradox” where we have to tolerate the intolerant until they take over.
If we didn’t have such strict free speech laws, we could have deplatformed and jailed these people back when they were at the “protest with confederate and Nazi flags” stage and not had to deal with the neo-fascist government stage.

I do not feel bad for his family. They’re better off. Here is what he said about his (future) 10 year old daughter getting raped www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/charlie-kirks-hardline-abortion-views-resurface-after-his-killing-in-utah-viral-video-101757562999575.html
This guy is an irredeemable ghoul. I’d rather have no dad than a dad that forces me to carry to term and raise a rape baby at 10 years old.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 5 months ago:
The communist fantasy is that we should all work doing what we can to all have our needs met. That none of our work should be controlled by oligarchs or an oppressive state. That we express our needs democratically and work towards that goal together according to our ability. That in this pursuit we’re all treated as equals with no one systematically above others.
The capitalist fantasy is like you agreed with that the capitalist class should own everything and use that to control everyone unfettered by regulations.
Yeah, both of those fantasies are both equally unhinged and cruel.
I’m not going to argue about what happens in practise, but to argue that the communist fantasy is as explicitly evil and cruel as the capitalist fantasy is unhinged.
- Comment on Looks like she's making it official...! 5 months ago:
Yes, but we live in a patriarchy. When a grifter grifts millions of us, both as workers and consumers, to become rich they’re “a visionary, amazing, self made man”. But when a woman grifts a single one of these assholes and gets some of their money she’s a “gold digger”.

Human spiral sees one country invading another country, stealing their children, stealing their land, stealing their resources:
“The invaders are the good guys, the victim is actually the bad one. I can’t explain because it’s really complicated. If you see the victim as a victim then you’re just being childish”
Good grief!

I did not know about that formula, very cool. It seems linear (unless the molality is a non-linear term), whereas the empirical data gets pretty whacky at higher concentrations. Maybe its validity is for low concentrations? I’m getting closer to -27C from this plot

The engineers only make the listed limit speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.

From the first:
This is the first documented case of Klingsor syndrome related to psilocybin, in which a psychologically disturbed person self-inflicts harm on their genitals. Plus the dude was already messed up and an alcoholic.
The second guy was on ADHD meds and hypertension meds:
Although some might be tempted to draw broad conclusions from this single case, it is important to understand the nature and role of case reports in medicine. Case reports are detailed descriptions of unusual or novel clinical events involving one patient. They do not establish cause and effect or generalize to larger populations.
It’s pretty common advice not to mix drugs unless you know what you’re doing, which is something that happened in both cases.
But the point is your “warning” is the same as telling someone about to drive or fly about the worst accident on their mode of transportation. It’s just a paranoid thought (and a dick move), not a reflection of reality.

Yeah. Young adults are going to have sex.
They can have sex in the safe home where they live. Or they can have sex in less safe places like parties, frat houses, in cars where they can collect a public indecency charge, etc…
That’s the choice you get to make as a parent.
