Im happy to see humiliating losses in VA and NJ for the GOP. They are doing some pants-on-head retarded things (*cough* tariffs *cough*) at the moment and I will root for anything that leads to a wake-up call.

It is actually very odd the way leftists celebrate the deaths of non-violent civilians. Extreme right wingers have all sorts of noxious traits but I dont recall seeing them do this, meanwhile it happens frequently on the other side. Or is my memory selective?

Similar to the below from 2020, these sorts of errors aren't just "math mistakes." If you actually believe that one rich man could pay every human on earth's salary, and they aren't doing it because they're dicks or whatever, of course you're a socialist. And also retarded.

The average person really can't tell. In 2023 I sat in a room with around 100 educators reviewing powerpoint slides for an upcoming Holy Week Chapel. I noticed that Jesus had extra appendages in many images. I pointed it out, no one else had noticed, no changes were made

People complain about AI being censored or gimped or whatever but it's still sufficient for my needs.

From things like this on the low end to things like Chagos on the high end, the British are remarkably inventive in finding new ways to distribute money to the people who hate them

So it looks like Country has gained the undesirable title of "First Genre to be Profitably Aped by AI" Unsurprising but if you think it wont hit all genres eventually, you haven't been playing with Suno v5

My opinion of the UK government cannot get any lower, I refuse to believe this is true x.com/MilitaryBanter…

Another act of ecumenicalism ruined by the same thing that ruins all acts of ecumenicalism: People actually believing in the faith they claim to follow

I think I really like the new pope. This is a wisely well balanced answer. Its amazing how you can select for such a superior person in a secret medieval ceremony but modern democracy primarily produces charlatans

This is a tough study for Max Weber stans

There's a word for someone who shows up uninvited in another country and proceeds to start shooting and killing people, but the word is not "slave"

New Yorkers can dominate 90% of national coverage in an election season and STILL will complain afterwards that they're not getting enough attention. And no, Queens is not representative of anything.

People say things like "I can't wait until AI delivers post-scarcity" When was the last time you were parched from lack of water, hungry from true want? We are already in post-scarcity! The dude at the homeless shelter and the billionaire are both playing for style points.

Just did a plant delivery to the wealthiest neighborhood in my entire metropole. There was a Mao statue in one of the front lawns.

The Mangione obsession reminds me of an observation: 1. Men care about looks much more than women. 2. Women who do care about looks will impart moral worthiness to the handsome guy in a way that men don't do for attractive women.
