nani the fuck? There's a new volume of 100 million year button out and there'll be another one in August?
Nice. One of the easiest reads out there for me, All of a sudden you're just sitting there going "Wait, what do you mean it's done?"

Arizona is a place that gets hot. It got hot over 100 years ago in Arizona too -- In 1913, a temperature of over 130F was recorded, and there have been many heat waves in the region.
A hot place getting hot when it's usually hot being used as evidence that climate change is real is as asinine as a Republican taking a snowball into the legislature in D. C. in January and using that as evidence it doesn't exist (by proving that a cold place getting cold when it's supposed to be cold).
Even if we give full benefit of the doubt that climate change exists and can be measured, secular long-term cycles such as climate change due to changes in the CO2 in the atmosphere are not measurable from year to year. The amount of average temperature change is predicted as 1.5 degrees per century. This is not measurable directly from year to year because normal variation in weather patterns is greater than this -- take 3 years in a row, and the deviation between those three years is going to be quite large with a mostly gaussian noise component to it. That's why to actually be able to tell that climate change happens you need complex statistical models to counter that natural variability.
Climate deaths are actually way down compared to the pre-postmodern era, in large part due to the appearance of technologies like air conditioning which make homes cooler. This doesn't mean the world is getting cooler obviously, but it means that posting a single data point like "300 dead during the heatwave" is a meaningless statistic.

Whelp, I have to admit I was wrong, I was sure it was ideological, instead it was just psychological (assuming they're telling the truth)
I mean, it was always going to be a nutjob, but I figured it would be one of the nutjubs who had been listening to the news in addition to the voices in his head.

When the media isn't talking they're lying by not mentioning something. Lies by omission.
Kind of like the toddler-level headlines about Trump's assassination attempt. "There was a pop and Trump got scared and fell down" I mean, it's a literally true description of events, but it's missing a few little details (like the fact there were bullets) that were sort of important to understanding it wasn't just a pop sound and someone getting ascared.

I have to admit, it really sucks that crunchyroll turned off the comments. There'll be a really spicy episode and it's like "oh boy I wonder what the comments have to say about this?" and then you realize it doesn't say anything because crunchyroll is a bunch of pathetic losers who are scared to death of their users.
"CARE. I mean, not about the life that you created carelessly that
you're about to extinguish because it was fun to create and convenient to destroy, but you know... about other things."

Seems to me like they know full well they're trying to pull the black vote and they're doing it exactly how you'd expect a bunch of out of touch conservative boomers to do it.
Unfortunately, those people each now owe him 1 billion dollars for calling a mass shooting fake
Was this Trump's maga plan all along for ending the national debt, ringing up 32 trillion dollars in legal judgements?

And what's really interesting is that the commies themselves refute themselves. Western civilization produced a kind of utopia with universal suffrage, limited suffering, vast material wealth, and virtually no war. Despite that, the commies claim the path to utopia was immoral therefore the end result is immoral.
Ethics get complicated there too -- if you're a consequentialist, do you go by the actual consequences or the intended consequences? If the former then what is ethical can only be chosen in retrospect so you're trying to predict what will be ethical by trying to predict future outcomes. If it's the latter, then incorrect consequences can justify overall wrong actions as justified even if successful implementation will always result in negative outcomes because you're just wrong.
That's where imo you do need a base of deontological ethics, hard lines you don't cross, because otherwise you can find yourself either never knowing what is ethical until after the fact leading you down a rabbit hole of betting against God predicting the future, or you can break your whole ethical system by biasing what you think the consequences will be unconsciously. You can the consider consequentialist perspective for more complicated ideas once you stop yourself from doing things you'll regret later if you get the consequences wrong or sometimes even if you're right -- if you become an ethical monster you might be right but you still have to live with yourself afterwards.

This season the cracks are really starting to show on Crunchyroll. Due to intertia I've been grabbing an annual membership for quite years, but this season is particularly bad -- 80% of the anime that look interesting this season aren't on the service...
A study in contrasts, what each candidate looked like after getting hit with a kill shot
