Yeah. It sounds more like he could be Ant-Man and is able to pick up on the trails. If he can communicate with them by twreking his butt into the ground, I’m convinced.

Winners don’t use Lemmy, but guy’s probably gets a slightly elevated self-esteem from a select few circles.

That’d be a great game. The entire neighbourhood is warfare. Cubby building, better sticks make for better guns, gotta make alliances with the right street, and make sure the kid with the fancy bike is on your side.

In this context, you use the term “belief” very well.

Disgusting. I hope you’re happy, Swifties.

This post is discussing the phenomenon of people thinking that science is objective and rigid when in reality it is anything but.
It’s not though. That’s all you.
The irony of such a statement…
- Comment on ... 5 weeks ago:
I don’t want to deflate your assumption, but “Science is pure objectivity and truth”.
The assumption you introduced just added another layer on by bringing Marxism into it. And here’s the thing with that fallacy; you may be very right! But, it’s got nothing to do with the original statement anymore. It’s just going down tangents of a tangent that should be explored under their own initiative, not the blanket of “science”.
- Comment on ... 5 weeks ago:
It’s not literal; as the fallacy credits, neither is it necessarily wrong. But(!!!), they’re just not related.
The entire post itself, and your reply, is social science. But science is incapable of alignment to an -ism beyond supporting an idea.
- Comment on ... 5 weeks ago:
This is a clean example of an ignoratio elenchi fallacy.
Statement B attempts to use Statement A to make an unrelated point that isn’t necessarily untrue, but it is still unrelated.
This could be done with any combination of…
“Under capitalism, <random thing> is…”
“Under <random ism>, science is…”They would all result in a statement that supports Speaker B, but is irrelevant to what Speaker A, as the topic has changed. In this case, from science to capitalism.
I.e. It’s an anti-capitalism meme attempting to use science to appeal to a broader audience through relevance fallacy. Both statements may be true, but do not belong in the same picture.
Unless, of course, “that’s the joke” and I’m just that dumb.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 5 weeks ago:
I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.
This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.
- Comment on Who all wants a silent spring? 1 month ago:
Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it’s not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you’re all good, you can be more assured it’s just bees, but nothing’s 100% certain until you aggravate the ins ct with a stick and test.

Yep, Todd probably was entertained.
- Comment on Fallout 4 is a great game with big flaws 1 month ago:
The story I hated.
I made my character based around John Coffey from Green Mile, then knowing Unwanted to drop INT and CHA for brute strength and constitution.
It’s like, if you weren’t drawn toward making a character bio based around the white nuclear family, you were never going to enjoy the intro at all, and you’d put off the main quest as long as possible to go do all the crazy shit you hit the wastelands for.
“It’s time to find Shaun.”
“But-”
“No. You’ve murdered everything, you’re an absolute beast. You are all that is chaotic-neutral in the wastelands. It’s time to finally start quest 2 of the main quest.”
“But I’m not a family man! He’s not even mine! I only met that bitch at the bar the night before!!”
“Well, that’s not what the game says-”

Not to alarm anyone, but unless you’re doing the 100m in around 11s or less, current large crocodiles are still faster than you. But if you’re fit enough to keep the speed going, you should outlast them over short enough distance.
And if you can’t do any of that, well you’ll have to run lateral to it and hope your agility out maneouvers them.
- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 1 month ago:
After Amazon said there’d be more ads recently, yep, more ads tonight. Done with it. My living room is not a marketing platform. It’s finally time to go back to the convenience and ease of piracy.
The new model is based around pirating Clarkson’s Farm and donating to farmers. That’s the point anyway. No need to bring Jeff into it.

“Nintendo targets free marketing that’s much more effective than their really, really weird ads featuring skinwalkers from an alternate reality attempting to appear like normal humans doing the gaming.”

Oh, I thought he was going hard on the trolling, implying the bug was that the ads are broken when offline.
- Comment on Couple tried to sell baby for a 6-pack of beer and $1,000 at campground, police say 2 months ago:
When mum and dad get parenting advice from the Charles Manson biography.
“Mom was in a café one afternoon with me on her lap. The waitress, a would-be mother without a child of her own, jokingly told my Mom she’d buy me from her. Mom replied, ‘A pitcher of beer and he’s yours.’ The waitress set up the beer, Mom stuck around long enough to finish it off and left the place without me. Several days later my uncle had to search the town for the waitress and take me home.”
- Comment on when AI tries to get in my way 2 months ago:
Yup, that’s standard. If you’re about three responses in, give up, it’s already lost and incapable of focusing on the requirements. It will also lie to please. There is zero admission of confidence score. You only pick up on the things you know are wrong and considering how often that is, the rest can only be taken with a grain of salt.

It’s like Alphabet hate guaranteed money.
“How can we boost the next six months of investment for sake of stable income over the next decade?”
“More ads. Studies show everyone with internet access fucking loves them.”
*Brilliant! Welcome to entry level lower senior-ish management, Jenkins."
“YESSSSS! I can’t wait to tell the family about this when I’m on leave from this wonderfully accommodating work campus. All hail, G.”
“All hail, G.”
