Did Trump not just run an entire campaign with the idea of reducing groceries being a major plank of his campaign? You’re arguing in bad faith.

- Comment on Why Is Printer Ink So Expensive? 1 month ago:
I had a chance to get an Epson last week and I bought an HP instead because it advertised more ink in the box. “Great,” thinks I, “I’ll never likely print 3000 pages, and I’ll just throw it away if I ever do. Suckers!!”
I get it and I find out that it’s bricked until you register an account and it calls home; won’t print unless it’s signed up to auto-order new ink. I’m sure there are ways of ameliorating this, but they got me. They fucking got me. I knew it was a scam, I thought I was smarter, but nope, they got me. Fuckers.

- Comment on Tough news for protesting farmers: Labour doesn’t actually need their votes 2 months ago:
I don’t think you need propaganda. I think it’s baked into people from birth to feel fear, disgust, etc. I think it’s easy to misattribute those feelings as having an external source, blaming them on the poor, and allowing that to shape their opinions and values. It’s surprising to me that we don’t even have a word for “hatred of the poor” because I think it’s pan-cultural, regardless of whether politicians or the wealthy exploit it or not.
- Comment on Tough news for protesting farmers: Labour doesn’t actually need their votes 2 months ago:
Merely ignoring the poor would only be so bad (we’re used to doing without) but politicians around the world win votes by exploiting irrational hatred of the poor and actively making things worse.

- Comment on Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat? 2 months ago:
The advantage of a neural AI, in my mind, isn’t that it is better. It is that it is worse in a way that is fun.

Stephen Hawking did post to Twitter. He used Twitter to communicate about science, the future of humanity, and important causes like climate change. One of his first tweets was in 2014 when he used the platform to raise awareness about ALS, the disease he had lived with for decades. While not prolific on Twitter, the posts reflected his passion for science, space exploration, and human progress.
At least, according to ChatGPT.

- Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 3 months ago:
Restaurants don’t serve food. They serve drugs that are intended to hook you and make you come back, not nourish you and keep you healthy. It could just be the cumulative effect. People who eat poorly get worse and worse over time.
I think every large establishment that serves food to the public should be required to serve food that a person could eat FOR EVERY MEAL and be healthy.

Jesus was way cool
Everybody liked Jesus
Everybody wanted to hang out with him
Anything he wanted to do, he did
He turned water into wine
And if he wanted to
He could have turned wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetaminesHe walked on the water
And swam on the land
He would tell these stories
And people would listen
He was really coolIf you were blind or lame
You just went to Jesus
And he would put his hands on you
And you would be healed
That’s so coolHe could’ve played guitar better than Hendrix
He could’ve told the future
He could’ve baked the most delicious cake in the world
He could’ve scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky
He could’ve danced better than Baryshnikov
Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of
Jesus was way cool
You might also like
He told people to eat his body and drink his blood
That’s so cool
Jesus was so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he was
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead
He rose from the dead, danced around
Then went up to heaven
I mean, that’s so cool
Jesus was way coolNo wonder there are so many Christians

Einstein and Hawking (no s) were giants of their field, published papers that turned all other accepted science on its head, and have basic physical phenomenon of the Universe named after them, but they were of surprisingly limited in their knowledge of other fields. Whereas NdT will expound on absolutely any topic with the complete certainty that he is a fucking expert, even if he only just now inferred the existence of the thing from the question he is presently being asked. He is a megabrain of galactic proportions, a fact he appreciates better than anyone else.
