Approximately 500,000 years ago, when someone made a tiny spear. They just didn’t know it was an arrow at the time.
I mean what is an arrow, but a much smaller spear?

I tried playing it while unemployed. Did not click with me. At all. I just don’t get it.

That’s a bad faith argument. No body wants that. Just because it exists doesn’t mean I’m defending it. The alternative is letting a paste-brained Putin-wannabe become King.

Try self-teaching yourself programming If you like math, you’ll greatly enjoy being able to apply it.

With the advent of AI, does this sort of fuck up their revenue stream?
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 3 weeks ago:
A foot fetish sort of works its way into your brain over time. The synapses for feet and sexual attraction are extremely close to each other, so when you do things like, hold someone’s feet during sex, or give them a foot rub during foreplay, there’s a chance your brain may start making that connection that feet are an erotic thing. For me, it started after being married for a few years, and she just sort of flexed her toes during sex in such a way that it gave me goosebumps, in a good way. Granted I’d been giving her foot rubs for a few years by that point…but oh…my god. When it clicked that it was a turn on for me, it was a game changer.

- Comment on Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans 1 month ago:
I agree that most creators don’t become wealthy, and yes, there’s plenty of abuse and inequality in how IP laws are applied. But removing those laws wouldn’t solve that - it would just give even more power to the entities with the most money, reach, and legal muscle.
Without IP protections, smaller inventors and musicians wouldn’t even have the option to negotiate or earn anything off their work. A major label or corporation could just take it, polish it, and release it as their own without any consequences.
So while the system isn’t perfect, saying it “only exists to make the rich richer” misses the point. The alternative isn’t more equity, it’s no recourse at all for the little guy.
- Comment on Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans 1 month ago:
This is a terrible take. Sure. There are issues with the system, but these laws protect smaller musicians and inventors from having their ideas stolen and profited upon by larger players.
Without patent laws, there’s no reason to ever “buyout” a design from an inventor, or for smaller songwriters to ever get paid again. A large company or musician could essentially steal your work and make money off of it, and you would get nothing for all of the time and effort that you put into it.

You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It’s fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don’t doubt for a second that Elon didn’t try to co-opt it at some point.

This is the result of selfishness and a distinct lack of education. Literally any reasonably educated individual could have told you this would have happened. This is going to affect literally everyone.

Yes. Fear the clandestine teachers turning your children into the gay. /s
It’s tragic that the teacher has to have that conversation with the kid to show them that it’s okay to be themselves because the kid feels that their parents won’t support them or will outright abandon them. Ironic that there’s no love more conditional than the love of a conservative Christian.

- Comment on We did it! Fandom rebels defeated the looming threat of DEI. 3 months ago:
Everything is DEI if a white man doesn’t have that position. There no way anyone else earned that position on merit. Only white people earn things on merit. It’s not like white men have ever had easier access to jobs, education, positions of power, housing, or anything else…
- Comment on Common Ground 3 months ago:
That’s it how you get people to start moving over to our side here mate. Sure, what they supported is pretty fucked, but if you’re not going to offer people a way to crawl out of the hole they dug themselves in, no one will want to leave the hole.
You’re not wrong for wanting that, but in your righteous superiority, you’re not helping to make anything better.
- Comment on AI Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes Blasted on Government Office TVs 3 months ago:
No one’s shaming the kink. It’s a play on “Kissing the feet of your ruler”, essentially implying subservience.
- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 3 months ago:
Even as a wildly left progressive, this isn’t cool. Conservatives are necessary as a counterpoint to progressivism in general. Differing views are a good thing as long as they can still work together at the end of the day.
That said, when one group starts stripping the rights of others, whitewashing history, and eliminating free speech? Then yeah, resistance becomes necessary to enact change. And I sincerely hope that the people stripping rights remember that resistance is not always peaceful.

<Trump Crowns himself> " God, this is so funny! I bet the liberals are so pissed now. They don’t get that this is just merely just for show." <Trump dissolves the Senate> “He’s the best! He’s doing exactly what he said he would do, he just permanently drained the swamp! Wooo! Trump saved America.” <Trump strips away the rights of low-value citizens> “Hell yeah! Why should I have to fund their pathetic existence! America is the greatest Democracy.”
I guarantee they will always find a way to pay homage their golden idol.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 3 months ago:
No, it’s intended to show their real intent. He has an entire PR team dedicated to trying to make him appear intelligent, competent, and in control. However his actions speak so much louder than words. He’s barely able to contain himself. Luckily, his living flak jacket that he wears around is learning to speak and his hilariously repeating all of the things he says in private.

What about that roughly $0.04 of your money so Trump could go to the Superbowl? I mean if we’re being nitpicky here…
