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...

I hope it's glitchless. Throwing a pizza at the corner of the room as hard as you can and the cooked pizza showing up on your table just doesn't feel satisfying to watch.

Unfortunately, Europe can't have platforms because Europe would have to grow for that to happen.

Same as Canada -- How are we supposed to have our own platforms when our state is going out of its way to hammer down anyone who isn't a party loyalist?

I always love it when half the internet goes down and my crappy little websites hosted off parts scavenged from roadside signs keep chugging away.

De Niro.... That's Italian, isn't it?

Just saying, maybe the Italian should watch which world war 2 allusions he makes to a Jew.

Funny thing. Apparently DeNiro's parents were born in the city of Ferrazzano, a small town near Campobasso in the Molise region of southern Italy. So any of his ancestors who didn't move to the United States during that generation likely would have been involved with Mussolini's regime the hear DeNiro's Dad was born.

If I was a 4 foot tall actor doing something this embarrassing, I would cast myself from the top of my platform shoes.

That's where it's like "but AI will cause more misinformation and disinformation!" Why? They can just lie.

"HA HA HA my life has been unspeakable suffering for decades!"

Quite possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen -- a camera so fast you can see light move.

Taylor Lorenz force is a fundamental force which is applied perpendicular to my current direction when I'm walking towards an interview and realize it's with Taylor Lorenz specifically but more generally any activist "journalist".

Imagine a game where you're playing in the Olmec empire, and the sort of dei people will be like like "where are the Africans? The Jews? The Indians? The Chinese?" And it's like "Africa, Israel, India, and China?"

A lot of things that the left claims were invented by capitalism are pre-human. Things like hierarchy, territory, family, and many other concepts that they claim were invented by capitalist humans to subjugate others can be found in many other forms of life that never had a chance to learn it from humans.

Part of the problem is that the left relies on scientific narratives that we now know to be objectively wrong. Rousseau's noble savage narrative assume that when completely left alone human beings will always be good and it was only society which makes them evil. This was based on science that was even kind of dodgy in his time, and now it's completely debunked and ahistorical, anthropologically speaking.

That's a big deal because one of the reasons for example that leftists think we need to abolish the family is writings by Marx and Engels which incorrectly assume family is essentially a construct of late humans.

Did you see this carried through in some anthropology, where they will find one female who was given a burial in warrior paraphernalia and they extrapolate that one thing to mean that before writing everything must have been in egalitarian and all of their ideas about gender existed. By that logic, the world must have been fully egalitarian in the 1900s because Marie curie and queen Elizabeth existed.

I heard good things about it but I don't think I made it past the first episode of scientific railgun. But I have bad taste, and most of the time would prefer some isakai trash.

I'm sure that the prime minister of Canada will get right on that.

My boomer dad regularly puts Linux mint on people's computers for them because it's like getting a brand new fast PC even on old hardware.

It's been good enough for a long while now.

Jokes on them I was already retarded.

In isekais, if people become really fast if their dex levels up, and really strong if their str levels up, why are they still idiots after their INT and WIS are like 60,000 each?

I saw someone saying there's lots of gold because gold mines open all the time.

Mines being discovered all the time and gold being rare are not mutually exclusive.

A really good gold mine could have 10 grams of gold per ton of ore. You have to blast, transport, crush, grind, add chemicals, get the gold out, deal with the tailings, and you get less than a single ounce of gold. A lot of mines have closer to 1 gram per ton.

Considering that this is in places considered rich enough in gold to make a gold mine, that's rare.

In order to make enough oz to pay for everything, they need to dig up thousands, or maybe even tens of thousands of tons of ore every day.

The only reason any of that is possible is because gold is so absurdly expensive. The gold price per oz is similar to the copper price per ton, and copper is relatively rare too. A gold mine might have one in a million parts gold ore. A copper mine might have five in one hundred parts copper ore. An iron mine might have one in two parts iron ore.

I see a lot of videos online about people saying schools are failing kids because kids aren't learning how to read.

I feel like there's a huge category error there. Regardless of school, the root of kids values is the home. Immigrant families teach their kids to read, even though the parents barely speak English. If kids don't know letters, what did the parents do before school started? If they don't know how to read after school starts, what are parents doing?

Some people these days go "Oh, well parents don't have a lot of money" -- teaching your kids is free of charge! You don't really need to spend much money on it! At most you need some paper and a pen or pencil whose cost is less than a junior bacon cheeseburger at McDonalds and you know these parents are feeding their kids plenty of fast food! Besides that, library cards are free, and borrowing books from the library is free!

I suspect you're right, but the point still stands.
