- Comment on Dear Meta Smart Glasses Wearers: You're Being Watched, Too 1 day ago:
I usually use my memory when I want to look back on my entire day and know what I did.
- Comment on US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges 1 day ago:
Yeah, God’s divine plan to destroy the US.

How’s Libya doing these days? Is it good?
- Comment on women 5 days ago:
So basically, you’ve made up your mind and there’s no evidence that could ever be presented to you to change it.
- Comment on Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner 5 days ago:
That’s still embodied energy, so the question becomes; “How much energy does it take to actually make these materials?”
In particular, the device is packed with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which are synthetic porous materials engineered at the molecular level to have huge surface areas. A few grams of an MOF can have a surface area equivalent to a football arena, according to the source.
That sounds pretty energy-intensive to me.

Armpits are for tickling and I will hear no counterarguments.

Don’t want to do even that? Then stop getting fast food.
That’s exactly right. Being against tipping as a concept is fine, but the idea that we can end tipping culture by refusing to tip is fundamentally accelerationist. “Surely if we torture the workers enough they’ll be forced to demand higher wages!”

🎵 It should also be noted a bottle of it was found
In the clenched dead hand of the white John Brown
Everytime it went 'round new people would find it
They would take their essence, put it in and grind it
In Russia, Africa, Asia too

It would have made a difference in Michigan specifically. He won by 80 thousand votes.

Far be it from me to argue against the US being a backwards shithole racist country, because it obviously is and death to Amerikkka, but I don’t like the narrative that he had some kind of mandate to govern because he is so popular. He really doesn’t. He’s started without a majority and it’s been down hill ever since.
By the by, that’s just of the people who bothered to vote. If we counted non-voters, he got 32%

Trump only got 49.9% of the vote. He has never been popular, even by capitalizing on disgust with liberals. It really wasn’t his election to lose, he’s not actually a strong candidate. He won by playing against an opponent that doesn’t want to win.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 2 weeks ago:
The only other reasonable explanation is that they’re too stupid and don’t know how to win elections.
If you think that the Democratic party are stupid, you are delusional.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 2 weeks ago:
By the numbers, yes. Trump’s turnout increased by 1 million, Democrats decreased by 2 million, and the loss of Democrat turnout was what pushed Trump over the edge. He still only got 49.9% of the vote, after all.

The reason Harris lost is because people stayed home, not because they voted for Trump or third parties.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 2 weeks ago:
Harris chose to lose the most winnable election in history because Democrats know they can punish voters for being disloyal simply by allowing Republicans to win. If you demand too much from Democrats they will throw the election. It’s essentially a hostage situation, you must give unconditional support to the Good Cop or the Bad Cop will beat you to death. You don’t want the Bad Cop, do you?
If we don’t abolish this system we’re all going to die.

- Comment on If donald j trump was replaced with a body double some time in the last 15 years, would you even care? 3 weeks ago:
I would, because I don’t think this current body will last much longer.
If they replaced him who knows how long he’ll be around?!

We still have people out in the fields picking vegetables. It’s not a solved problem.
- Comment on it's true 3 weeks ago:
It’s more labor intensive, especially for corn. You can’t just run a big harvester over the field, someone has to go out and pick it.
- Comment on Starting to think affluenza might be a real thing. 4 weeks ago:
There are degrees of sickness, right? An asshole business owner who feels entitled to run red lights and speed because they’re white and have a nice car and know the police chief’s son probably doesn’t need life imprisonment or execution.
I mean, I wouldn’t really be too upset if they were executed, but it just seems wasteful.
On the other end, people in the Epstein files might need to be hospitalized for more than a single human lifetime.
- Comment on Starting to think affluenza might be a real thing. 4 weeks ago:
The “monster” framing precludes the idea that they even can be rehabilitated. Monsters don’t get healing, they just need to be put away or executed. That’s still an improvement over letting them run rampant, but it’s a waste.
- Comment on Starting to think affluenza might be a real thing. 4 weeks ago:
So what if it is?
It doesn’t change the fact that they need to be involuntarily committed for rehabilitation and have their assets seized. For their health.

Lasers are coherent, I think you need a lasing medium for that.
You could focus the light into a single point, sure, but that’s not really a laser in the technical sense.
