Meatspace is still a pretty important place to be present.

What's the current over/under on her being outed in the next six months with an underage cheerleader, and having to apologize deeply to her family and constituents while continuing on her mission to destroy our country?

Authenticated cheese is the answer to the question, "what is the blockchain really good for, other than laundering money?"

No matter how bad I think humans are, I’m presented evidence we’re even worse than I thought.

None of this has been about money, it’s all about ego.

If you've been to any of the areas that are predominantly Republican or MAGA, there's no other choice. Walmart's going to be just fine (predatory practices, shit quality, and abusive employment practices, aside).

There’s going to be a Skyrim release in about a week. The patient will wake up in the back of a creaking wagon.

This, right here, is the highest quality "Shower Thought" I've ever encountered. You win!

The major problem with this kind of pattern is you're looking to establish edge-case boundaries, rather than the most broadly applicable standard. The attempt to document and "solve for every case just leads to overly complicated and disingenuous discussions. Our fascination and obsession with "accuracy and precision" as applied to human behavior is one that breaks down very quickly unless you're attempting to be hyper-rational, at which point, any rules assigned to human behavior break down.

In short, "use your best judgement."

Note: I think that we have passed the golden moment where "human judgement" had any kind of value. There was a long time where we (all humanity) were stumbling in the dark, and we have now stepped back into that cave. But for a brief, shining moment, the percentage of people who had critical reasoning skills was growing, and it was majestic.

Less “reduce the number,” and more “make the poor more tractable.” The rich still need human carpet to walk on, they just need it to be uneducated, fecund, and desperate to get under their feet.

In my local area, there have been several posts over the last couple of weeks across the standard platforms with people complaining about excessive prices, and price increases. Some folks are sharing examples where costs for electricity have increased 40% year-over-year, and yet we live in an area that's primarily supported by hydroelectric, and have generally low energy costs. The deregulation and desire for utilities to turn a profit are killing people, without exaggeration.

I see headlines like this and think, “oh, haha. The onion has done it again.” Then I read the actual source, and get sad.

How much commission did the giant Cheeto get for this art using an image of his favorite beans?
