What a twist. The guy who owns a boat knows how to swim. I do enjoy the abject stupidity of the elf’s hatred for humans in this comic.

The more I think about it, the more I’m on the machines’ side in The Matrix.

The first time I really thought about it, I was surprised that churches were willing to let the government tell them what they were allowed to preach in exchange for money.

But then I realized that it was proof that all churches are scams. If you’re a tax exempt church in America, then you’re doing it for the money, not because it is morally right.

Surely if a church cannot support a political candidate without losing tax-exempt status, then calling for the death of a candidate should mean they lose tax exemption and then pay double taxes.

It looks like the chicken coup is not done and is still in progress.

Surely he can’t be less qualified than Don Jr and Eric, though?

One other route is the method from the song Fancy, where you seduce a rich man. Sometimes, your sugar daddy will marry you. Sometimes, he’ll just just keep you on the side.

And sometimes, he’ll keep finding you better and better jobs even though you keep on getting fired, until eventually you become Vice President of the United States of America.

That is my assumption as well. I was just considering how much better this country could be if we just taught children to use steel man arguments instead of straw man arguments.

I don’t know if it has a base designation, but there is a way to represent natural numbers without 0. You just use 1, and numbers are distinguished by the number of 1s. So you’d count 1 11 111 1111 11111 and so on.

The problem with short excerpts like this is that I don’t have enough context to know exactly what the mayor intended to mean.

If I want to go in giving him the benefit of the doubt, and I don’t see why I wouldn’t, there are some contexts that could make sense.

He might be referring to America in general rather than just Chicago. Or, he could be speaking broadly about how exploited people always do most of the work, and just said slaves and indigenous people as examples of exploited people.

I would say they’re more pathological than mythological.

If the government still recognizes the authority of the constitution, then you can fix the constitution via amendments.

Otherwise, it would be time for a new constitution. But of course, in that case, there would truly be nothing to be proud of. It would mean your entire country and government was a complete failure, and that whatever new constitution you ratified would have to make many provisions to protect the government from the overwhelming stupidity of the citizens.

The most unrealistic part of that sequence is where the old lady realizes her mistake, admits she was wrong, and says she’s sorry about her “up yours” statement.

I remember doing that exact thing as a child. Well, teenager, but that’s still a child. I had a driver’s license. I had money from my part time job and/or allowance. I had access to a vehicle.

If I wanted a burger, I could just go get one. I rarely did unless I was out during a mealtime, because I had good food at home and didn’t want to spend money. But that’s the same decision I make as an adult.

Whining and bitching is the most American thing you can do. It often means that you see something that can be improved, and democracy is supposed to be about eternal vigilance.

Being proud of your country should mean being proud not of our current laws, but of the constitution that allows us to fix those laws when they are deficient.

I wonder if he wrote that post character-by-character.

But actually typing out the code is the least difficult part of programming, once you’ve been doing it for five or ten years. You have to understand the code that is already there. You have to decide the behavior, either way. You have to review the code, either way. Design the local and overall architecture. Design interfaces and APIs.

The fact that he thinks typing out new code took so much effort basically means that he was never a decent programmer. His statement betrays that he doesn’t even understand what’s difficult. People with his level of understanding of a topic shouldn’t broadcast their ignorance publicly.

I find it interesting that the AI parts of the video have very little video in them. They have the original game moving along, and then they show the AI version and mostly keep it as a still. I suspect that they did this so that you can’t do a side-by-side comparison and see that the AI version doesn’t actually play as well as the original version.

Also, I’ve got to wonder about how it must feel to be an artist who worked on one of these games, and watch the thing you carefully hand-tuned to match the artistic vision of the game design be replaced by the mindless addition of wrinkles.

Okay I read until it started getting kooky, which is the election denial shit and defending Trump after the insurrection. I get it. He’s an insincere nutcase.

But I would like to say that there are a lot of people who counterintuitively supported both Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders, and I think I can explain why. Both Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders clearly believe on a personal level that they are doing the right thing. It’s rare to see politicians who don’t give the impression of being slimebag liars.

Of course, their politics are completely incompatible with each other, but some people don’t care about that. They just want a politician that they can trust to do what they said they’re going to do.

But since he went on to support Trump, that reasoning all flies out the window. Maybe he was frequently dropped on his head as a child.

But getting peer pressured into an addiction by one’s mom of all people is ironic.

It’s one case where I’d argue that the most literal interpretation should apply, dictionary definition be damned. Your authority figures are not your peers.

Trump said he got the White House doctors involved, who he called “miracle workers.”

This puts a bad thought in my head, because Trump really only ever thinks about himself, so why would he be able to have a thought like this?

What if Trump said that because he himself had a terminal diagnosis, and he’d be dead by now if not for the treatment he receives only because he’s president? Like, if America hadn’t voted for him in 2024, our Donald Trump problem might have solved itself by now.
