Brandon. Look up Mistborn. Steelheart and The Stormlight Archives are good too.

Shitty title. Business school professors claim they trained an AI to judge workers’ personalities based on their faces.
The article talks about why that is such a stupid and terrible proposal.

if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it.
Bwahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahaa
Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you’re watching are terrible.
Forcing your way into Google to have “government techs” change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to “force” Google to change. Funnily enough, the US and Mexico have the exact same levers to make a company do what they want. The US has more power to push those levers though.

Doesn’t everyone cast Tarot to see if aoile or mustard is more auspicious today? If you want to use Bitchin’ Sauce while Mercury is in retrograde then that’s on you, buddy.

This theory implies that conservatives think at some point, so I’m not sure.

Thank God we are cutting out this wasteful science. It will pay for half of an F-35. We’re buying an extra F-35, of course, so it’s a net loss, but our budget is unlimited for the military.

Yeah. Teaching sucks and I don’t know why anyone puts up with it. Mad respect and solidarity to all the teachers out there.
Doesn’t mean they don’t like Gen Z. They’re overworked and underpaid. But I can’t stress enough that that’s our fault. (I might put more blame on the Boomers running things.) We’re not prioritizing education and you can’t blame the people in school for that.
- Comment on gen z gorillas 3 months ago:
Generalizations only work so well. Some millennials chastise Gen Z and some support them.
I am an Eldritch millennial and everyone that I know thinks Gen Z is pretty awesome. We’re just trying to hold the world together for them.

That cat is high AF.

I see Boomers saying that…usually calling the 20 year olds “millennials”.
Most millennials know they’ve been dealt an even shittier hand than we were.

Nothing good, but nothing surprising.

I don’t at all understand how you got your definition of “liberal”. I think anyone who could conceivably be called a “tankie” would bristle at being called liberal.
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.[1][2] Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.[3] Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.
Both of our American parties are liberals. However, most Americans use the word to mean “progressive”.
I think “Leftist” starts at anti-capitalism and goes from there. I half jokingly say a progressive is someone who thinks the system is broken and must be fixed. A Leftist is someone who thinks the system is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed.

I’m not terribly bright, but I’ve never understood the original statement.
If I bash my right hand on a typewriter an infinite number of times, that will never turn into the complete works of Shakespeare. If we assume a monkey will enter one random letter at a time, that probably would.

I’m sure this guy operates his bulldozer with all of the care and concern for innocent human life as the IDF bombing campaign that by their own reports have killed twice as many civilians as militants.

Both major parties and most US citizens absolutely condone this shit.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 4 months ago:
If one’s hardware is 10+ years old, I don’t think upgrading to the latest OS is likely high on their list of priorities.
