  I think capitalism is pretty terrible for bringing us atrocities like the slave trade. I think Christianity is pretty terrible for encouraging children to not ask questions. And I think America has done a pretty shit job of protecting what little reputation remained to us over this last year.

  So come and get me, I guess.

  Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re talking about an exchange like this?

  Person 1: It sure is hot today.
  Person 2: I know, right?

  Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.

  I’ve been looking into this recently because The Algorithm wanted me to (I don’t always do what The Algorithm wants, but sometimes it’s really fucking spot-on so maybe I’m just institutionalized) and I simply don’t see why this is really any different from anything else available.

  Is it really that much better? Is it the same thing just with better execution? As we’ve seen time and again, popular doesn’t always mean good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing very little about the national guard in particular, I would argue that the standards are there but the enforcement isn’t.

  In the Navy, at least, physical training was never a serious priority except for more specialized commands. The standards were identical, but the commands where PT was emphasized were the only places where a majority of people were fit. There’s way more to it than just standards.

  They’re adding multiplayer, actually. Lots of fun to be had when everything can be destroyed. The workshop mods introduce a lot of new weapons, levels, and vehicles, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best advice you've ever been given?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my instructors while I was learning how to shoot said, “Just remember: keep breathing.”

  I think he was just talking about overcoming my literal tendency to hold my breath while shooting, but man I thought about that one a lot over the years.

  In that case maybe the single chopstick was the first utensil…? I feel like a two-pronged stick would be ridiculed at first, much the way heliocentrism was. Imagine being the Copernicus of stick technology, lol

  There were adrenochrome WMDs on that boat, they had to do it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WATER!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to a restaurant in Dallas near the stadiums where asking for “water, please” got us a glass bottle of whatever rich-people water they served.

  Everything was expensive and the food was super whatever. It’s called Soy Cowboy, if anybody’s curious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with imgur right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A weird form of arrogant elitism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really like the idea of playing dumb with this.
  “Why would I get a gun?”
  “Protection from whom?”
  “Why wouldn’t I trust her to make smart decisions regarding potential romantic partners?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I wouldn’t wait to get to that point. Had I made it clear early on that “used to be okay” jokes or comments were not, in fact, okay, I probably would have saved myself a lot of heartache.

  Confronting loved ones over unacceptable behavior is a necessary skill that takes practice to develop, and I would have been better served if I had done so from the start with my in-laws.

  Perhaps I wouldn’t repeat OP verbatim, but there are a lot of ways to get the basic point across.

  Just finished the musical episode in Season 2, which was quite silly, but it’s all so fun that it’s hard to criticize. This is a show that knows what it is and revels in it.

  Not too gross? Good god, man.

  It was very in the open, but Trump said he didn’t know anything about it, so the sycophants believed him.

  Not really, it’s super stable. Just don’t let it get to a few thousand degrees, because then it might burn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, man, I get it. Language is complex. I’m not advocating for the reinvention of English, it was just a conversational observation about a silly quirk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think it’s a matter of choosing a complexity to care about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think in most cases where this administration seems to have a good idea it’s important to remember that it’s likely designed to keep them in power.

  A national database that the trump admin controls will 100% be exploited for their own gain, just like every other aspect of government is being exploited for their gain now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda dumb that apostrophe s means possessive in some circumstances and then a contraction in others.

  I wonder how different it’ll be in 500 years.

  I don’t think that the semantic discrepancy is really the point.
