The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accedent is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?
Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.

If there’s a house shoe theory for eugenics, you’d be the poster child.

I didn’t make fun of China for being a surveillance state. I was terrified for the citizens for China being a surveillance state. Same with the UK.

If more Christians would read the bible, there’d be less Christians.

I stopped playing TF2 when I kept getting popups about having too many unopened loot crates or some shit.

They aren’t a teacher anymore. The system crushed him and he left.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 2 days ago:
I had a friend who tried sticking up for his students when the school’s Zero Tolerance Drug Policy™ meant that they couldn’t carry epipens around them. The Principal’s defense when he was told he was he was going to get sued for a wrongful death was “I’ve been sued before”. My friend was let go the following year and didn’t have the energy to sue.
Considering the overall state of the US, I don’t think my anecdotes are exactly exceptions. Everything I’ve feared would happen is happening.

I got lied to about my placement tests for no one’s gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.
The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 days ago:
I got screwed at every step of my education. The passion gets ground out of them without them realizing.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 days ago:
oh, they definitely don’t care about the kids. They care about getting arrested or sued.

You were just helping the economy by not hoarding it. If more billionaires actually spent their money, things wouldn’t be as bad as they are.
- Comment on Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With 5 days ago:
There’s actually a lot of bullshit jobs out there. Things that could be automated(without AI) or jobs from hiring when companies feel the need to do a hiring binge to appear like they’re growing. A lot of useless busywork. C-suits especially could be replaced or eliminated.

Not sure about the UK, but I know Germany likes manuals because they last longer when you have a lot of hills and mountains.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 1 week ago:
I think Discovery is a little different. They had way too many producers and writers on that show, all trying to get their little ideas in so when they moved onto a new project, they could get a sexy “By the creators of Star Trek” tagline on it. The situation Walter Mosley described when he left STD made the writer’s room sound like a viper pit.

Regardless of what the official story is, that’s probably what really happened. Same thing with the Halo tv show.

It required a real phone number last time I checked. Looks more like a honeypot to me.

- Comment on 4chan faces UK ban after refusing to pay ‘stupid’ fine 1 week ago:
It would be more productive to ban twitter and facebook. Way more hate goes on in those places anyway, but old media needs them, so their problems don’t get mentioned. 4chan is the internet’s wiping boy.

Trains are already as “self driving” as they can safely be and with how many people a train can move compared to how few people need to manage one, there’s already not much reason to go fully automate.

I’ve been telling people to look for a shop that can do a wax film coat when they do the oil change. Super simple job when the car is already on the lift.

- Comment on Serious Sam 2 was just updated after 20 years in celebration of its anniversary 2 weeks ago:
It’s front loaded with boring, slow gameplay, but when it ramps up, it’s great. The final level is top shelf stuff.
- Comment on We are not reading old public domain books because it's not profitable 2 weeks ago:
Modern books speak to modern problems. Some stories are timeless, but sometimes you want a hyper specific scenario.
- Comment on Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal 2 weeks ago:
We don’t need AI to know how to use renewables. We’re just unwilling to implement then on a sociality scale.
- Comment on Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal 2 weeks ago:
How many of the AI companies that chose coal actually produce something worthwhile? Seems like the first the these nuScience fuckers should do with their digital overmind is create clean power.
