You are indeed.

“Other means” being what is directly inline with the unitary executive theory that conservatives have been pushing on you for decades.
JUST WAVE THE WAND is why people hate Obama.

Nothing unread. Nothing of value was lost. No value missed as you cling to BS.

True. Horny should overrule all. Morality, Ethics, if it feels “off” then it’s non-normative. So fuck you.

- Comment on Does anyone print planter heads? 5 months ago:
You may be right…
Just checking comparing this to pottery, thinner/less plastic, or metal…
Or did I miss something by considering the waste from PROTOTYPING everything via spools of plastic? Like I was just talking about planters but if you like, you really have me wondering… what about all the excess plastics prototyping other things… how familiar are you with all that plastic coming off the 3d printing industry?

So in a world where micro plastics are infecting every aspect of our lives…

- Comment on Argentines are recruiting friends, strangers into Worldcoin’s cash-for-eyeballs scheme 6 months ago:
Totally agree with you. Didn’t mean for an appeal to tradition, or a “we’ve always done it” type of reasoning.
While history sure as shit isn’t pretty, there is some measure of stability and institutional knowledge that we have developed and shouldn’t be written off.
Kinda like that quote from the economist that goes something like “we’re not on the gold standard because it’s some new wild idea, we’re not on the gold standard because of everything we know across history about the gold standard.”
- Comment on Argentines are recruiting friends, strangers into Worldcoin’s cash-for-eyeballs scheme 6 months ago:
The same as everyone else on the planet not desperate to sign up for a pump and dump scheme like crypto.
Same as my parents and your parents and their parents and everyone’s grandparents and the whole sum total of hundreds of years of human experience in what has been pretty much a prosperous economy.
But something tells me the whole internet couldn’t stop you from telling us all why we have it all wrong and should instead waste the energy output of Argentina on fake math problems to artificially create a coin…

True story: there once was a plan to construct a 1:1 enterprise in Las Vegas of all places. Pyramids, castles, whatever… It really wouldn’t be hard to make a 1:1 model.
Merely compare the scale of the enterprise to your average bridge destroying cargo vessel…

- Comment on teachings 6 months ago:
I was one of those students who asked how it would be used, the teachers didn’t do the whole real world application part, and I never needed to go past trig.
I work with engineers and use math like any other human on the planet but really wish mathematics was taught differently to make it more interesting. You hear a PHD candidate talk about the hairy ball problem and the math is interesting. Math class never was.
- Comment on teachings 6 months ago:
To translate: As a child learning math this means “ignore math, the explanations don’t explain anything real, they only explain math. So instead focus on language and the arts.”
- Comment on ISPs can charge extra for fast gaming under FCC’s Internet rules, critics say 6 months ago:
Except that feigning both sides/everything’s rigged bullshit is a mindless simplification.
It ignores that net neutrality only became a thing in the last 2 decades there’s only so many presidential admins in that period. So 5 elections vs 20 years to discuss a topic… it’s not weird that it comes up more outside of an election year.
Still, I can’t tell if you’re choosing to ignore how Obama campaigned for it or how Biden and Harris campaigned way more for it, especially concerning reversing trumps FCC decisions.
No reason to ignore the fact that Biden made it a priority in the first year or so of the admin.
Acting like it’s rigged absolves republicans of their actions: “Net Neutrality Won’t Survive a Trump Presidency” and lumps good folks in with the worst.
Net neutrality couldn’t happen while republicans block the commissioners for the job: theverge.com/…/gigi-sohn-fcc-nomination-dark-mone…
So why not blame it on the people who are actually documented as destroying net-neutrality and advocating against it. Why instead invent some all powerful Illuminati like cabal only to end up making it a both sides thing?
Republican attacks over bs tweets are just one of the reasons we can’t have nice things. Another reason is because people like to imagine a rigged system pulling the strings to pretend there’s some order in the chaos. All it does is suck the support away from anyone trying to do the right thing.
- Comment on Pro-Palestinian protesters light US flag on fire in NYC 6 months ago:
Because the republican party full of congressmen who spend the 4th of July in Moscow…
…the same party that paul ryan said was “a family” sworn to secrecy after he said trump and rorabacher were paid by putin…
…the party full of the same people that erected gallows and chanted “hang mike pence” ON THE CAPITOL LAWN…
…well they like to say that other American citizens aren’t Americans (Obama isn’t a citizen and only the HEARTLAND has real Americans) and threaten other American citizens with “second amendment solutions”.
So this feeds directly into that bloodlust and misinformed opinion that city dwelling liberals are what’s wrong with the world.

- Comment on Column: Social Security is again in the crosshairs of a GOP budget, even though a long-term fix would be simple 7 months ago:
Didn’t think otherwise, just wanted to get to this part:
I’d rather eliminate social security.
You’d gladly use my tax dollars if it stopped your house from burning down, but you’d rather eliminate the single program keeping the nation’s elderly out of poverty than spend one tax dollar of yours. Certainly starting to sound like theft now.
- Comment on Column: Social Security is again in the crosshairs of a GOP budget, even though a long-term fix would be simple 7 months ago:
Do you have kids? If so then other people helped pay for their schools, if not then you’re already paying for other peoples’ kids school.
Hell do you have insurance? Do you know how that works collectively?
You are already paying for roads you’ll never drive but others can, firefighters you’ll likely never need but other will, etc etc. conversely you are able to drive from A to B because of financial input from people that may never drive the same road.
You are already contributing to and benefitting from this “theft”you speak of. The difference seems to be that you take issue with knowing that you are helping other people. It can’t be the money, you are already benefitting from that and you’d have to be stupid to say you shouldn’t.
It’s frankly kind of weird how much you are already benefitting from everything you call “theft,” it only seems to be an issue as soon as you’re asked to contribute your fair share.
- Comment on Column: Social Security is again in the crosshairs of a GOP budget, even though a long-term fix would be simple 7 months ago:
SS doesn’t fund people’s retirement it’s not an extravagant pension, it keeps the elderly out of poverty.
You pay for roads you don’t drive on, I pay for schools for kids I don’t have, get over it. Selfishness isn’t a virtue.
You are not rejecting the system making you a benefactor, by your own logic that ship has sailed. Congrats you’ve already contributed, and you’re not a slave and atlas has not shrugged.
Right now you’re just making up reasons to be selfish… like you personally funding the nation’s retirements. Get over it.
- Comment on Column: Social Security is again in the crosshairs of a GOP budget, even though a long-term fix would be simple 7 months ago:
So you make above the cap? So you pay nothing?
Would you reject SS payments when your of age? You didn’t put in right?
So you’re saying that having never paid into a system, and despite that you have access to benefits whether you pay or not, you consider it too much to bear to start paying anything?
Again at best the argument is you’re selfish.
