No.

There is no practical definition of "debate" or "lose" that is more closely correlated with correctness than with persuasiveness. And we all know that incorrect ideas can be just as persuasive as correct ones (if not more so).

This one got me good

You might be a nerd if your first thought was not "Rolling Stones album" but "Animorphs #54"

it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."

The existence of fashion police implies the existence of fashion district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

Donald Trump announces he has commuted George Santos’ sentence in his federal fraud case: “at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! […] I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

at this point it would be interesting journalism if someone could locate a Young Republican groupchat that was not full of overt Nazis

Love that we all know this is going to happen and have known it since this shit was introduced yet all we can do is wait for the dumbest and most easily avoidable economy crash of all time.

Lee Pace in The Fall is the result of a decades-long experiment to see what happens if all the hotness for an entire generation is concentrated in the body of a single man

They Live is a fantastic film but every time I introduce it to a Gen Z friend I'm reminded that the plot boils down to, "two hobos carry out a series of workplace mass shootings because they believe half the population are aliens wearing human skin"

r/Lollapalooza 3 yr. ago DaL 028 Join [deleted] I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa... Question I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

In some ways this is the government now

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

One Battle After Another is a fun fantasy film set in a universe where the entire federal law enforcement apparatus targeting leftist revolutionaries is one roughly five man team headed by a former border patrol camp administrator

Never forget how easy it is to dupe these people. You don’t have to run anything resembling a platform for ‘divergent views’ or ‘a range of opinions.’

You just have to *say* you’re doing that and run the same right-wing slop you can find at 50 other outlets.

Love that people have taken to calling them Kavanaugh stops. Hope the naming convention spreads.

someone must have told gavin the game involves destroying hastily built shelters

Last time I struggled with long ER wait times at an understaffed hospital I looked up the salary of the CEO and he made $400,000 a year, and like 20% of the hospital's budget went to Epic Systems for their garbage patient database software.

One dude from Honduras or whatever isnt the problem.

seen a few 'they clearly haven't thought this through' comments wrt stuff like this & no no, they have. racists being able to go around hassling & attacking people on a whim is the goal of these policies, this is what they want

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
