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...

Used to get these back in college. They were on a whole other level than the stuff we buy today. It gave people who were remotely intolerant of caffeine the shakes.

Whoever set up this bot to change reddit links to teddit links is genius. 11/10 would follow again

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse --

she's a powermod on reddit, of course!

Lan multiplayer in the same room as your friends is the only multiplayer. Online multiplayer is a pale reflection of that platonic form.

Unfortunately, by 2024 the guy will be a realistic AI generated opposition bot.

Nightmare of Druaga is a game on the PS2. In it, you are the chosen warrior wearing the golden sword and armor given to you by God. Here's the thing: The golden armor given to you by god has a def power of 1 and literally the first thing a slime drops will be better, and the same with the golden sword given to you by God.

Playing this game, I decided that "God is a dick" is a video game meme.

@dick I still ask myself to this day why you'd do this.

Gotta claim the Ls just as I claim the Ws. I thought I was going to be right on this one, but I was wrong and it's been very entertaining. Well worth someone else spending 45 billion dollars.

Take that, LEGO!

It's not a bad time to be expanding while everyone else is shrinking, but it seems to me that their business goals aren't too realistic. Increasing staff by 3 times and doubling revenue during a global recession? Seems to me they'd really have to have something special beyond the latest buzzwords.

Immediately afterwards the console locks hard.

I want to know how it runs in -40 when it actually gets cold out.

And I mean living in -40, I don't mean being brought out of a heated room temperature garage for a 20 minute run around a track. If I need to heat my garage all winter to have an EV I'm not coming out ahead carbon-wise.

Because the guy was lead counsel for the company itself in addition to being a former FBI director.

Which to me says he should be jailed, given that old twitter was a cesspool of Cheese Pizza

I've been living my best life on searx on every device. Why bother with one search engine when you can use 10?

I think it's more about design constraints. What is it you're trying to accomplish? If reliability and maintainability aren't on the radar, then your design will be fundamentally different than if they are. If you're trying to minimize the amount of material because that's technically "green" too then you end up with a completely different design. If you're trying to minimize the amount of waste material then you end up with a completely different design. If you're trying to minimize the amount of energy used in manufacture then you'll end up with a completely different design.

Happens a lot in our hard goods like washers, dryers, refrigerators. Instead of designing something to run reasonably well for 50 years, we design something that'll run with slightly less electricity for 5 years then need to be replaced.

"you see, where is the Nazis wanted to murder the light-skinned people who controlled the banks and the media, we millennials want to murder the white people who control the banks and the media. Clearly this means that there is nothing racist about us, and we are nothing like the Nazis"

It's kind of impressive how stupid we are.

The one thing I find ironic is that in the millennials are constantly talking about the nazis, and they don't seem to realize that uncritically doing whatever the establishment tells you to do is exactly how you end up with the nazis. Or the soviets. Or Mao's Great leap Forward and cultural revolution. In spite of the fact that history tells us they are the bad guys, they keep assuming that because they are not specifically the Nazis they are the good guys.

The key will be how we raise our kids. Which doesn't bode well.

They very well might. There is historical precedent for it.

Gen alpha will probably be the generation that picks up the pieces. The millennials are just boomer lite, they hate the boomers because they see themselves, the zoomers will be the people hit hardest by all the bad decisions, they're on only fans right now ending their futures for current monetary gain, and it'll be gen alpha who grow up seeing the millennials and seeing the zoomers and rebelling when they see what is coming in their future.

(At least, one can hope)
