You could just as easily paste this link into any discussion about 4chan or Tucker Carlson, except we know how stochastic terrorism works.

Not really, no.

The problem with this is that none of it is rooted in reality. Pretty much everything you’ve said is just jibber jabber about your discomfort with being mean.

The right is not motivated by this gentle soothing of their pain. They don’t even remotely care about it. They gleefully jeer at us every time someone tries to take a hammer to a democrat’s head, every time black democrats in congress are murdered, every time Mexicans bound in chains are loaded single-file onto planes; they do not believe in this kindness you are affording them. It does not affect them.

When they complain about the public reaction to things like Charlie Kirk, they say those things because it bothers us, not because they care.

What this means is that the right gets to view themselves as strong, self-actualized, Roman warriors for racism freedom, and we are always putting the ball gag in our own mouths.

It is a culture of disempowerment. I’m not saying Harris should be jeering necessarily, but she should not be doing whatever the hell this is. It serves no one.

This… requires a person to look at the profit numbers. To care about them, even. I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.

I think you’re saying that computers can be very good at chess, but we are the ones who decide what the rules to chess are.

Imagine however, that a machine objectively makes the better decisions than any person.

You can’t know if a decision is good or bad without a person to evaluate it. The situation you’re describing isn’t possible.

the people who deploy a machine […] should be accountable for those actions.

How is this meaningfully different from just having them make the decisions in the first place? Are they too stupid?

I’ve also heard that Trump really likes McDonald’s, and Hitler didn’t even have a McDonald’s—pretty crazy how different they truly are.

Someone I had a history with once posted something long on Facebook that I thought was about me. It wasn’t remotely.

You, the person I’m talking to are so vain to think I’m talking to you.

Believing something like that without evidence, even if it’s true, is crazy. That’s what that line is about. It doesn’t matter that the song actually is about them. The fact that they can believe it among all the other possibilities is why they’re vain.

I think that wandering into a house fire, then saying “whoa, why’d you douse me?” is pretty silly behavior.

Is David Thorne not doing a kind of performance art here? He’s being deliberately obtuse, and he’s turned it into comedy.

With that logic, everything is art.

Not necessarily, no. I think nagram has summarized my feelings on it, though.

dancing with vestibular senses

I’m not sure I understand this one. The audience is just watching, aren’t they?

That would be a kind of performance art.

Sitting down is feminine.

That’s why I’ll never sit down, ever.

Restaurant? I’ll eat at the bar.
Plane? Flight attendant better knock me out.
Roller coaster? My gorilla grip strength will do just fine.
Friend’s car? I’ll stand in the trunk.
Getting into bed? I let gravity rotate me, stiff as a board and fully clothed so no burglars can steal my chastity.

I think someone’s jealous.

you do not require mail EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK

Counter point: mail is fun.

Ohhh, okay. That makes sense.

Does this mean you moved link with the movement stick in your right hand? Honestly, that’s the crazier part to me.

Aside of some 8BitDo thing I’ve never heard of, I think the Wii’s controller might be the only one you can do this with.

Me to a vegetarian: “Ah, you can’t even tell there’s pepperoni in there, can you?”

I think there does come a point where stupidity and malice are basically the same thing.

I think people just don’t like being told what to do. Like, there are a lot of behaviors you can trace back to someone just being personally aggrieved that they ought to change anything.

That said, if anyone else is reading, the em dash is a clue that you use to diagnose with—you don’t have to stop using it.

Oh, so you just dislike computers in general then. You’re like a computer hater.
