On pedocon theory: why movement conservativism is inextricably entwined with paedophilia (and why the POTUS is probably a paedophile too):

Great news for my social life... terrible news for my liver.

I think they thought they were voting for normie Republican policies with extra slurs.

We need to establish a new norm that the appropriate reaction to people who suggest regional transit isn't a public benefit is sustained, derisive laughter.

I love the fact that they are both wearing expressions that scream "I am not paid enough for this shit".

This is quite possibly the most insane novel ever committed to dead trees.

I must own a copy.

That's correct -- it congeals into things called fatbergs, which are about as disgusting as Trump's Epstein coverup. AIUI, the recycling is mostly into biofuel.

The most interesting thing about Peterson is the trajectory of his descent into madness. If you look at his videos from fifteen years ago... it's mostly just trite cranky old man BS. If you go forward in time from there, you can watch him get steadily worse as he got more famous.

I want to provide enough housing for folks so that there aren't homeless people on the street.

Sadly not true. A friend of a friend who should have known better on every possible level dated him and even had a kid with him.

I thought bulls were supposed to be conventionally attractive

The core truth of fascists is that they hate themselves and want to make it everyone's problem.

If you're going to pretend LLMs are alive, then make the argument with your whole chest rather than slinging smarmy insults at anyone who dares to point out how full of shit you are

Then why are you recruiting their biggest lie?

I read it... and it is, without exception, a lie. LLMs are not living things; they are objects. It is therefore impossible to be either bigoted against LLMs or cruel towards them.

It's entirely irrelevant, because LLMs are not alive.

Are you really unable to tell the difference between LLMs and living things?

And unwilling to either learn or hire someone who can...

Apparently someone has decided to publish the most pointless zine on the planet.

If you think LLMs display intelligent behavior, you have no idea how they work.

You have made a category error. Only living things can suffer, and LLMs are not living things.

What did I miss?

The Soviets sent tanks into Hungary in '56 (IIRC), which is where the term comes from. They did it again to Czechoslovakia in '68.

TIL there is stick a thing as a barking gecko

I believe it's spelled Kegseth

Having all the general/flag officers in the same room with the President and SecDef is the kind of bullshit that would not pass muster in a fucking third rate Tom Clancy ripoff

You may also be hit in the face by a misplaced goose

It's hard to spend money after you've been cut up into lots of small pieces...

It sounds like the name of a good comedy sketch...
