Why doesn’t anyone call him out on lying about running for a second term? I very vividly remember hearing him say in 2020 that he would not seek reelection and yet here we are.

Honest question, what’s there to be hyped about? I haven’t ever looked into its feature set because it looks like ass. Do people just like the Tesla name or what?

What’s there to learn that isn’t already widely known? Existing (copyright) laws are asinine and all corporations eventually become consumed by greed. That’s America in a nutshell.

Nice, it should be even easier to sneak a chicken past a guy in a wheelchair.

We’re calling them freedom tacos now you god damn xenophobe.

Nothing for people who know what DNS is. They’re targeting the people who don’t.

Nightly strollers is an interesting one. The rest have mostly survived as things a certain subset of people look down on but I don’t think there’s many modern complaints about people walking at night. Unless maybe that specific wording implies some sort of unsavory behavior I’m not aware of.

People do hate change. The bigger the change the more they hate it. That’s exactly why Windows to Linux is much worse for them than Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Your grandma probably hates the fact that you did though. There’s a small chance that’s not the case but I’d be shocked if she hadn’t complained about it many times to other people.

Exactly. I would say an MBA is only useful if your undergrad degree was in something other than business. It is meant to add management skills to an already skilled individual. If you don’t have any other skills it’s just an expensive piece of paper that, at least to me, signifies essentially the same thing as being the boss’s son would. You probably aren’t very good at anything but always think you’re the smartest person in the room.

MBAs have no useful skills and yet they run every company in existence.

She’s got DSL. Dinshaw’s suckin lips

It’s not broken. The platform just isn’t meant for real people to communicate with each other anymore. It’s an advertising farm people show up to willingly because it used to be an interesting place.

Onhh hnhh hnhh, wii wii

Current gen AI can’t come close to destroying the economy. It’s the most overhyped technology I’ve ever seen in my life.

Sure but they need to be at least a little bit believable and have a clear beneficiary or else they don’t serve much of a purpose. It’s pretty easy to see why various groups of people would have wanted JFK dead, or to fake the moon landing, or hide the fact that vaccines cause autism, or cover up alien abductions, or any of the other conspiracy theories you normally hear about. Flat earth just seems so benign in comparison.

I have so many questions about flat earth theory. Many practical questions like you noted but also more general stuff like who benefits from it? Conspiracies usually have some secret order hiding the truth in order to maintain power or enrich themselves. What difference does it make to anyone what shape the earth is? It doesn’t seem like it benefits anyone to deceive the world about that. Maybe globe makers since a 3D object is more expensive than a map on a piece of paper?

These questions pop into my head every time the topic gets brought up but I don’t make the effort to look into it because at the end of the day it feels like a pointless exercise to peer into the mind of a lunatic looking for rationality.

My man, chorizo is the best meat there is. It makes every meal better

Are you telling me that simply dumping the contents of a cardboard box into some hot water is not the best way to cook a meal? I’m shocked
