Imagine writing that line lmao

You look around and practically every man has a scar on his head. Scars from childhood, scars from construction work. Basically everyone has some mark. And head wounds bleed a lot, and can look gnarly when healed. Some wise guy knew that and decided to fuck with people anyway.

Nostradamus out here predicting the future by writing about… burning towers, and powerful empires… oh shit it’s 9/11!

Imagine going there based on a rumor and all you find are some dumb seeds you can use to restart agriculture.

It’s normal for other nations to have a sub-base for training them on our products, alliances & soft power, etc. I think in another timeline, this is problematic because it’s another shady ally. But with Trump, you have Qatar gifting Trump a jet and then his “no foreigners in 'merica!” voters having to suddenly say things like “actually, it’s normal to have foreign militaries here.”

I don’t get it. Little “drivers” that provide functionality, and then the ability to link button presses to those drivers. And I guess some meta knowledge of ports, standard addresses?

Where is the “requirement” for edge computing? Where is the need for their continuous services?

I thought that most companies doing this at least tacked on extraneous features that then justified their subscription. You’re supposed to pretend it’s necessary! Did they skip that step?

How do you guys reach a point where you’re arguing for less effective science communication? They’re summing up values as universally recognized objects. Wow! That sounds like the perfect way to communicate with people.

It’s such a no brainer. The “anything but metric” meme turned people into dorks.

Stealing a slur from Star Wars and engaging in traditional name calling to show we disapprove of uncreative slop.

We can’t even think of an original term. We can’t think of a novel way to shit on AI. We just copy what everyone else is doing to make fun of the plagiarism machine.

What Russian men look for to know if you’re one of them

She’s anti vaccine, anti LGBT, anti abortion even in cases of rape, thinks racism doesn’t exist… She’s straight off the assembly line. Just a number. It’s going to generate sentences that sound good because that’s how it clings to money, power, and attention.

According to exit polls, Muslims went from 88% for Biden, to 55% for Harris. (Technically, I read 88% Biden to 45% Trump. Votes were split between more than 2 people.) So 3,800 Muslims for Trump, 4,600 Muslims not for Trump. Meanwhile, almost everyone in that city is white. Very rough numbers but that’s like 39,000 whites / Christians people voting for Trump.

I think the whole “this single moment is what cost him the championship” is ridiculous in sports, it’s worse to single out 1/12th the population and say they broke the camel’s back.

Michigan Muslims are a thing because of the “massive” 8% population. Some prominent Michigan Muslims drank the “what did Democrats ever do for Gaza?” koolaid. Overall, Muslims are 1% the vote, and they were split between Harris, Trump, and Stein.

Wow, these are some real assholes right? These Muslims let genocide of Muslims short circuit their logic and they put 0.3% of the vote on Trump. Now Trump is hurting Muslims. Just goes to show you, or something.

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It’s a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell… milliseconds before you realize it’s pulling you down with it.

“People don’t want to work anymore.” in one hand. “Children can help fix the labor shortage.” in the other.

Just ways to beat people into submission with whatever words sound good in the moment.

New games look like realistic pencil drawings that were smudged to shit.

I literally have Elden Ring screenshots on my PS4 that look worse than Super Mario 64 screenshots.

It’s like modern games all have a screen shader at the end specifically to fuck up the graphics and blur details. I know it’s TAA and friends but damn. It feels weird that so many games have broken graphics that only look good when taking promotional screenshots. And people call them good looking games lol

Imperialism is when USA does something

Edit: fuck. Just notice ml

Like I said I was starting on “step 2” where you start with internal + external analyses = a result. A system is what is written and what is lived, I just assume it’s where we start in politics / economics / whatever. What is prescribed is a simple data point. That’s why I looked at the statements “Cuba is X, for proof here’s the governments website” as absurd. I didn’t realize people were speaking about hypotheticals, and reacted at the idea that someone would use that kind of logic to explain how something functions in reality.

I think I’m mixing up your statement of a basic datum, the way Cuba is written to be, with the idea that it’s indicative of what you’ll likely find. Hence, I was skeptical of the utility of using the written system as meaningful to the statement that Cuba was democratic. Like if people are going to talk about that, I assume it’s not a technicality they are referring to, they are talking about real people living in a real country… so what good is the official parties word on how things are operating?

Also didn’t even realize you were the same person from the other thread, didn’t mean to show up here and bother you.

I’m not complaining, I’m giving you a relevant example of where these labels come from. It’s .ml and .world and I just don’t have any recent memory of this on .world. I’m sure there’s an example or two, just not recent.

I was silent because I wasn’t sure what people were saying. I don’t think people who disagree with what I say are necessarily misinformed, or less intelligent, or mean. So it comes down to how I am certain people (including you) know that what is written on paper and what flows in reality are not 1:1 matches. But they tell me something they wouldn’t accept if they were in my shoes.

Maybe that skepticism sounds ridiculous? But if structure is important and reality can be different and everyone knows this I think it’s odd to see officially meaningless official material in the room. Why can’t we throw it out?

Edit: imagine we’re pointing out that America is controlled by billionaires and someone links the official site saying “No, it’s still three branches and the will of the people.” You toss it immediately.

The other day I was on all and ended up reading a comment chain and saw something like “Cuba is a democracy, and for proof just look at the official website of the central party.”

I found it ridiculous to essentially say “Doug is a skilled electrician, for proof look at this note Doug wrote saying he’s a skilled electrician.”

This made me a dirty shitlib (I guess the instance I signed up on makes me a liberal). The reaction seemed intense so I checked and it was .ml, so I assume it’s a rivalry thing.

You’ll see me venting and shitting on eg conservatives but I don’t go around calling people these things. You probably don’t either. But clearly there are users categorizing us into labels and associating us with our instances regardless of merit.

All I ask for is the truth. That’s why I’m called tankie, liberal, Nazi, commie, Trumper, imperialist, hippie. I get bent out of shape when people sling lies and it causes me to become whatever boogeyman they’re turning around in their head.

Did you comb my posts to figure out I’m a liberal? I’m pro India, pro USA, pro China, pro Russia, (making it simple so you can digest it) so it’s weird you got liberal.

I’m flabbergasted that the official website of a political entity is being touted as evidence that the political entity isn’t perceived correctly.

Forget about Cuba, or politics, or class, everything. This is not how you find the truth. What’s the thing I’m not thinking of that’s throwing things off balance? Why would someone link to North Korea’s official website to argue that North Korea is not so bad? What’s the use and whose it for?
