We have a new technology that is extremely impressive and is getting better very quickly. It was the fastest growing product ever. So in this case you cannot dismiss the technology because it doesn’t understand trick questions yet.

Technically you can shoot yourself in the head with diabetes because then you won’t die of diabetes.

No no no you see it’s more complicated. No, I can’t explain it. I don’t fully understand, myself. I can’t personally defend the Confederacy but I identify with them strongly and questioning them makes me angry. Instead I’m going to attack you, Joe Biden, communists, and BLM in order to derail the conversation.

But also it’s not really sarcasm it’s more like satire because I truly feel like some Republicans think this way.

They were protecting their way of life!

To enslave others

They were defending against northern aggression!

While the north died to free black human beings

They had economic anxiety!

Because they didn’t want to work like the slaves were

The inflation is caused by a conglomeration of things, and mostly not from us giving out stimulus. Trump is a clown but he didn’t cause the inflation.

The inflation is supply side. That means it’s caused by reduced stuff, not increased money. The Russian war caused oil to skyrocket and that caused a significant amount of the inflation.

Newt may have been the last but that’s his own fault. He oversaw the GOP as it shifted from everyday “shitty conservatives” to insurrectionist nationalists.

I just want to make sure I get that off my chest. Newt heavily contributed to starting this. He’s the original McConnell. He wrote the playbook.

This meme gets funnier and funnier every time I read it!

Crypto enthusiasts don’t really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately “got it” and began to get excited about crypto.

That’s a very interesting idea.

Quick question, you say 80% of the carbon is stored in the root and that you can harvest hemp 4 times a year. Do you harvest the roots when you harvest it? Or are you only harvesting 20% of the total captured carbon on each harvest?

It is shorthand for “number”. N°6 is read as “Number Six”.

Well, if your argument is: “any company that becomes a monopoly will abuse monopoly power”, then sure I agree with you. You got me there!

My argument is: “given a reliable financial alternative to advertising, a company will be able to resist enshitification for a long time, as long as there is no absolute tyrannical monopoly.”

I assumed the last part was implied and I’m sorry for the confusion!

You have to pay for kagi so they are not incentivized to serve ads. They are incentivized to give you a good set of search results so you keep paying.

Agreed. Jordan is less popular than Scalise among Republicans. Scalise couldn’t build a coalition, Jordan sure as hell won’t.

They know it’s not 89°. They are messing with the perfectionists and a bunch of you took the bait.

This is standard. You always get rid of the upper management. You give them a lot of money and a round of applause and then you put your own people in. Everyone at the top will be Microsoft.

They had to sell the console distribution fights to Ubisoft so at least you can look forward to that!

Can you follow rss feeds on the fediverse?

Oh God damn it this isn’t the Pokemon thread.

You really, really missed an opportunity to make a Pokemon reference.

To protect the Jews from devastation

To unite all people within their nation

To defend the virtues of truth and love

To bring down rockets from the skies above

I’m downvoting you and I hope you get buried in downvotes.
