Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Look, I never represent myself as anything but mildly retarded. :P

Don't judge a book by its cover... But eventually you've read enough of the book, it's ok to judge the book by its contents.

I was waiting for a punchline, but it just turned out to be a really nice piece of news.

My grandmother had scarlet fever as a child, it damaged her optic nerve so she was blind. We were very close, she lived in the basement apartment of our house for a long time so we spent a lot of time together. I always wished I could show here the world of computers I found so interesting, but at that time there was just no way.

Except whenever he asks a question they need to get a translator out.

I don't use quote reposts often, but when I didn't have them they were notable by their absence. Sometimes you just want to send a meme to someone.

Good point. It's just a graphic, there's no way to know for sure if it's true or not.

My cynicism is always going to lead me to assume the worst, especially when it comes to mega corps making billions of dollars forcing something dangerous down our throats. That doesn't necessarily mean that my cynicism is warranted.

I do think you're right to an extent. That's definitely a big part of it.

It's sort of sad, but the housing crash that's in progress right now caused by increases in interest rates is going to be the best thing for the ability of ordinary people to buy houses...

You take what you get.

The only fetish these women can get is not giving men boners.

Google chat shows that Google has lost its way.

It sucks shit. It's terrible. We all lost a bunch of good features and gained nothing.

I suspect it is, but there could be some fuckery I don't know about.

Officially, the population is stable in my region, yet you can't buy a house. Is the actual official population correct, or is something wrong with the measurement?

holy shit... Most deaths being vaxxed people I'd believe is a statistical fluke since most people are vaxxed.

But most people are NOT triple vaxxed.

I guess it could be selection bias, the people who get vaccinated again and again are the people who are more likely to have some sort of preexisting conditions that would predispose them towards dying of the vaxx?

This morning I was like "Man, gas prices are crazy. I should look into how much a Prius plug-in is!"

I decided gas prices aren't so crazy after all.

Oh, good point.

Yeah, I agree. I've always been anti-gun until a year or two ago when I suddenly became much more interested in owning one to defend my home and family...

That's just crazy talk.

I mean, the criminals already own their guns illegally and use their guns illegally, but more laws is definitely the answer.

Don't make 'em like this anymore! (Though I remember some anime that looked like this being pretty good)

A lawyer I follow on youtube made that point long before now: the supposed constitutional right talked about in Roe apparently referred to one and only one thing: Abortion. The moment that you're talking about literally any other medical procedure, that supposed right evaporates.

If that wasn't so narrowly tailored, perhaps it would still be around.

The problem is that if you apply the Roe standard to other medical practices, that would upend the entire medical bureaucracy. The government would be affected, but also the medical industry, which relies on the artificial barriers to entry. Imagine if just anyone could use the out of patent method of producing insulin -- why, people wouldn't need to go deeply into debt just to get insulin!

Sort of shocking that an iphone is still so incredibly similar to the first ipod touch I owned.
