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

Adversary of Fediblock

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...

Shouldn't it be "touch grace"?

I didn't think two massive explosions had taken out US critical infrastructure, but now I do because "fact checkers" are actively anti-fact.

In the year 3000: "no! I don't know anything about their plans.... They correctly set their robots.txt file!"

With that corset on, I think the answer to the question is simply "yes".

He looks really surprised. "Whoah. How'd I get here?"

Fighting to take defeat from the jaws of Victory at intel

>cut by hand
Scissors cutting grass

Sun Tzu says that the victorious general will win the victory first then fight the battle, and the defeated general will fight the battle first then try to win the victory.

In this context, Mike Pence is an idiot. He was the orange man's VP, and then he threw all the orange man people under the bus. So what's he got? The people who hate orange man will hate him for associating with the orange man, the people who love the orange man will hate him for betraying the orange man.

What's the victory condition here?

Notes from after the end of the world

Look how we have squandered our great bounty. :'(

I love the complete lack of self-awareness. "The thing that we're forcing everyone to do under threat of punishment is getting backlash! Clearly this is exactly like those people who forced a lot of people to do a bunch of stuff under threat of punishment!"

I mean, it's Elon Musk so don't assume it's entirely true, but if it is true, might be one of the most powerful checkmate moves I've ever seen in my life for an evil cultural movement.

They just announced a suicide hotline on 988

Which I assume is like Pizza Hotline, you just dial it up and it's at your house in 30 minutes or its free

>All mining is shockingly horrible!

Simply true.

There's a lot of people who seem to think that stuff you buy comes from magicians who conjure it from the aether, and don't think about where the raw materials come from. Whether it's steel or silicon or uranium or oil, the feats required are absurd on a scale that's impossible to wrap your head around.

The first and most important of the 3 Rs is Reduce for a good reason.

You will never be an x
You have no trademark protection, you have no brand recognition
You are a squatted domain name twisted by fuck you money and hubris into being a mockery of meta's IP

Your icon, your app internals, and your epitath will call you twitter.

Nobody who thinks they're immune to propaganda is immune to propaganda.

seems legit.

Heil Brittania!

The second part of what you wrote is really the key.

Both real estate and debt aren't real markets, so they just keep doing things to raise the prices to make boomers feel rich and keep vooting, and all that means is future generations are stuck borrowing a career worth of cash (1 million in Toronto, 2.5 million in vancouver for a Single Family Home, but 800,000 canada-wide at the peak around 2020) just to have a place to lay your head at the end of the day.

Simultaneous multithreading, I believe it's the technology on Intel called Hyperthreading and AMD probably calls it something else, where on one physical core multiple logical CPUs are presented to the OS and they can run completely different threads to keep the pipe filled.

Housing is one of those things where I think you shouldn't treat it like a financial investment. Practically it has been, but I think morally it shouldn't be.

Morally speaking, unlike most things it's actually a zero-sum game. If your house goes up in price, then that just increased the cost of living for the next person who buys it (and probably for you too if you intend to live somewhere after you sell it). It also increases rents -- Not because of the fallacious economic reasoning that says prices are a direct function of the cost to produce a thing, but because the landlords who aren't raising prices ultimately get run out of town by the ones who are.
