I've been saying this exact same thing. Trump is a raging moron and I fear the intelligent demagogue that follows him more than I fear a second trump presidency (although a second trump term might guarantee the former)

What the fuck does it even mean? It's like buzz word salad

By like 20 orders of magnitude or something

Just because he has the Vance vote doesn't mean all 'normal' gays are represented

This is a great point correlating gun access with gun violence. It shows that access to firearms is positively correlated with deaths by firearm

I used this exact thing as a teaching aid when I taught the ROTC opsec lesson. Also scared a couple kids pale when I told them Snapchat keeps a 6-month record of everything you send

I guess to be more specific, you can request 6 months of your data

If you ask native Americans, it is. Source: listened to stories from one

I hate the existing copyright system and would love to see it contested.

My brother in Christ, they're literally contesting it

Sounds like the 21 Jump Street remake

I grew up in a pretty conservative household and we were literally raised that life is work and work is hell. By way of the transitive property, life = hell. It's taken a long time through various degrees of depression and I'm still not fully grown out of it.

But yes, the entire culture and identity is about being miserable and persevering through it, even if that means making yourself and everyone around you more miserable to justify the perseverance.

Like the saying "nothing good comes free." You could say the sunrise is free, but they'll argue it's not because you have to wake up early and waking up early is by necessity miserable so that the sunrise can be good. They're brainwashed into thinking the only way a good thing happens is through suffering. Except the truly lost ones who only see life as suffering.

Cool cool cool. The dark games list is basically all the play store recommendations

In high school math class we got paired up for a worksheet and instead of doing any math we spent the hour listing the first 150 Pokemon in numerical order. Been chasing that high ever since

I wonder how much these models are now learning from spam they were used to generate

I found a set of Makita tools for 60% off last year and now I'm Makita battery dependent for the rest of my life

The digital landscape is so different. I teach undergraduates and it's hit or miss whether they understand what a file path is. But honestly, I'm not sure it will be relevant in the same way for much longer. I grew up installing games from CD and establishing a specific file path and folder for install and if I did it wrong it wouldn't work. With GUI's becoming more simple and intuitive, combined with advances in machine learning and algorithmic design, I have no problem imagining a future where all file structures are transparent to the user.

6-3 split, but yeah

God, I hope people can rally around Harris. My biggest concern with the sudden change was fracturing across the Dems. I hope it's just a concern

This is precisely the circlejerking mentioned in the meme. Whether true or not, the community presents itself as unwelcoming and self-aggrandizing. These are not traits that easily convince people to listen to the cause.

I fucked around with dozens of these trying to get my steam linked email changed, only to find out it's virtually impossible. Then I sent an email to the support line explaining why I'm never buying another Rockstar game.

This is just Westworld.

I'm tired, boss

More please. Shitpost crusaders might be the only thing I miss about Reddit

That is almost verbatim what I told myself leading up to 2016. And here we are.

Then why are you trying so hard to explain yourself?

Big fan of the billionaire crushing machine

China is escalating in their own way, what with the recent article about censoring satellite communication traffic

I would trade every American gas station and convenience store for a single authentic Japanese 7-eleven corndog.

Sounds like job creation to me

Poetry in motion

Classic. I remember when I saw this the first time. I was browsing imgur during a calc lecture instead of learning any calculus

I tried to read the Fountainhead twice when I was a teenager and I never got more than a third of the way. It felt like watching an old person try to remember their shopping list

Now that I'm thinking about the good old days of virus pop-ups and limewire cancers, has the presence of malware changed that much? Or it is less visible due to mobile architecture and pop-up blockers?

The mechanics that are in it now are incredibly well polished. I look forward to future updates. Props to the dev

What poppy is

If I recall correctly, this would be an illegal order in violation of the Title 10 authorities which govern DoD activities if it took place within the borders of the country. I'm not a federal lawyer so I don't know the details, but I believe it prohibits the armed forces operating under Title 10 from performing operations on U.S. soil. Title 18 however governs agencies like the FBI and allows operations within U.S. borders but prohibits foreign operations.

This is all a vague memory from an old lesson, but at first glance the attorney's argument is utter crap. It boils down to "no act of the president can be considered in violation of any law." Not a comforting sentiment, and a dangerous precedent.
