When gen Z asks about this the only response we can give is “you don’t know man, you werent there”.

I mean a fig wasp has to die in them right? Pretty dark shit. It’s a fruit that’s arguably not even vegan.

Do WASP parents know their sons are going to by Dick when they name them Richard?

Asking because there’s a guy named Dick Pound and I’m just picturing Mr. And Mrs. Pound with this newborn baby and being like “we will name him Richard. He will go by Dick. With a hard D”.

Empathy is the reason we didn’t go extinct at the peak of the afro/eurasian bottleneck when we numbered less than 2,000 individuals.

True, but it’ll the current manosphere chud-driven narrative around this it’s also worth mentioning that empathy is not itself an emotion. It may result in an emotional response, but empathy itself is an cognitive process through which one person considers the perspective and emotions of another. Consciously turning off your empathy literally just makes you dumber and less rational.

You see this all the time with prominent Republicans who suddenly become pro-gay rights as soon as their own kids come out. Bruh, gay people didn’t suddenly start deserving rights just because your kid happens to be gay, so you were either being irrational before or you’re being irrational now. The cognitive process by which you could have avoided irrationality was by engaging in empathy - consider the perspectives and feelings of others, consider how and why they come about, and incorporate that into your thinking.

Also Santa actually exists in DC and is immensely powerful within his sphere of operations.

Probably inspired by Tom Bombadil imo.

I mean it’s not like the kid killed a random person. In a sense he’s the only character doing any kind of root cause analysis.

I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they’re pissed and silently fuming about it now.

The fundamental problem with this logic is that anyone dumb enough to have fallen for this in the first place (and to vote for Trump again in 2024) is more than dumb enough to fall victim to all the nonsense of the next election. There’s no way this momentary glimmer of rationality will survive an election campaign, and the utterly broken epistemology of these people is no closer to being fixed.

I mean the hilarious thing about the movie is that the guy in the left was also supposed to be super elite or whatever and be the final boss for Arnold. Arnold circa 1982 vs a guy who looks like he drinks a 6 pack of beer every day. The most lopsided boss fight in a movie.

I mean this thread is about tech that was perfect from it’s inception to the point where it didn’t or barely improved. Nothing could be further from the truth, transistor tech has had literally trillions of dollars and millions of smart people’s careers poured into it, and semiconductor IC manufacturing is now the most complicated single activity that our species does.

It’s more than that dude. Antifa is the perfect boogeyman for the right because it’s left wing, but also not an organization. Who is the leader of antifa? Where are they based? Who do you have to kill to eliminate antifa leadership? How does someone become a member of antifa? These questions have no answers because antifa is not an organization.

Those are also questions that the right wing media machine works hard to get their audience to never ask. That way, by demonizing antifa, they can use force against anyone because anyone they don’t like can be declared antifa, because no one can disprove their membership, because “antifa membership” literally isn’t a thing.

It’s carte blanche to do whatever they want.

It’s honestly just another symptom of Fox News brain rot. Their audience is trained not to ask any relevant questions. It was always going to end badly.

All I can think of is reminders to fill the pellet bin. On balance I don’t think that’s worth it

When someone bangs a member of the blue man group do you think they’re disappointed when his jizz isn’t blue?

Hey, wooden sticks are a legit way to make life decisions. Source: Yojimbo.

Those bananas look like they could be alcoholic at this point.

Private equity is salivating over the idea of running his carefully built brand into the groundmaximizing value extraction from steam.

The current meta here is that things like brand loyalty and reputation are not really worth preserving, and are only as good as whatever short-term gains you can squeeze out of them.

Had to be a sick ostrich.

Trump has no idea what signal is. He basically has no real concept of what this scandal is about.

You guys ever feel like everything should just be deprecated? Like fuck everything and start over?

An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.
