- Comment on The Trump administration just dismissed all 400 experts working on America’s official climate report 10 hours ago:
sure, but we’re trying to communicate to people right now who didn’t understand they were voting for nazis. we do more to bring people into the fold against this by making it obvious who they’re against and who’s hurting them. nazi regime is cathartic, republican regime is messaging

- Comment on The Cybertruck is all tricks and no truck, a musky Tesla fail 21 hours ago:
you can tell it’s bad at being a truck by taking one glance at it. all the other companies didn’t arrive at the same design via a process of convergent evolution because they’re a bunch of uncreative sheep thinkers. it’s simply the shape a truck must be in order for it to do the things that trucks do
- Comment on Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever! 1 day ago:
and the nature of their 1000s of experiments going at the same time isn’t methodical at all. they don’t actually know what iteration of google search was the best and most useful one. there’s no going back to what worked because at no point did they ever know what worked. the modern shitty google search is the best version we will ever get to use again.
google embedded them as a core piece of information infrastructure and then demolished themselves. now our information networks fundamentally do not work anymore

- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 4 days ago:

Pentecostal holiness denominations are both small and overrepresented in policy making

i saw the edit
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 4 days ago:
no i know. i’m part of that statistic. my parents weren’t consulted ahead of time. it was simply done “for health reasons”
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 4 days ago:
only jesus said there is a new covenant with him, which nearly all denominations interpret to mean the rite of circumcision is a thing of the past

- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads 5 days ago:
my ex fiance loved personalized ads because that’s how she found out about products she wanted and i was like… but you didn’t want it before you knew it existed. you were just living your life perfectly fine and now you’re $20 poorer
- Comment on In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving 5 days ago:

- Comment on I don't mind! 5 days ago:
pretty much yeah. only it’s not that the cat grows upeand has to deal with how gorgeous it is, it’s that the cat, who was always a skunk and didn’t realize, just needed to keep looking for their people. there’s a line in one piece
“the world is too vast for anyone to be born into it alone. take to the sea. you will find your people”
- Comment on I don't mind! 5 days ago:
we had this book! it’s about self perception. i don’t think it was literally titled this, but i vividly remember the illustrations and it starts with that the other cats don’t like the smelly cats stench, and then they don’t like its games, but then it finds some animals that appreciate its stench and doing handstands with it, so they go home to their community where the smelly cat meets its birth mother, a skunk. on the last page the smelly cat is shown with the skunk, and they’re both skunks

- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 1 week ago:
no for sure. it’s just we live in hell and there’s gonna be times you’re gonna be somewhere and you’re like “even a pretend friendly stranger who sucks will be better than nothing”
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 1 week ago:
i assume, if this were real, which it isn’t, the idea would be that everyone on the app has to pass a background check, so if you’re walking through an unfamiliar neighborhood and you’re a class of person who has reason to fear walking alone, you’d have someone there with you to help you be just a little more safe. obviously not as good as an actual trusted friend, but for certain people in certain situations, better than nothing
