Never suggested he didn’t. The average age of Trump voters skews over 50 though.

As much as I like to shit on AI, it has gotten rather poetic lately.

If you add that these bullies were given high-paying blue collar jobs, cheap houses, and wives to abuse freely, it’s no longer an analogy. The Trumpist boomers literally had this happen. When this system broke they reacted to it like the selfish, hateful idiots they are.

Defunding is perennial and global, even if it’s not a targetted action like in the US. Consider for example that in the last 25 years the number of PhDs doubled while the funding of the National Science Foundation stayed flat. In the EU the situation is better, with funding at least keeping pace with inflation, but national funding depends on the whims of the current ruling party (I’m in the Czech Repoublic btw where we just elected a right-wing billionaire). Even in the best case the average acceptance rate for a grant is 10 or 15%, but in my experience it’s lower.

As for lawyers being in charge, I mean what’s the degree you go get if you want to enter politics? In China it’s engineering. In the West, almost a third of politicians have law degrees even though the fraction of lawyers in society is much less than one percent.

Geologist here. It’s really depressing being in the community these days. We’re continually being defunded and we know better than most what a systemic crisis this planet’s ecosystem is in. For some reason we thought it was a good idea to put lawyers in charge of everything instead of experts.

People on the Left are scared to use stupidity as a cause for things and so they underestimate its pervasiveness. It would be better if we could just admit that a lot of people are fucking idiots and need to be prevented from making important decisions.

Yes, they could destroy the oligarchs and kleptocrats draining this planet of its life.

It didn’t have the money then, either. It just printed it and ballooned the national debt. I’m sure the global oligarch class will be happy to buy more US treasury bonds while the congress raises the debt ceiling again.

The point of the chant is that by resisting the genocide we are all Palestinian. We participate because we believe in the self-determination and human rights of all peoples. By resisting Israeli and US aggression and oppression, we are all Palestinian.

Trump, the climate change denialist, doing his best to speed up the green energy transition.

This looked so absurd that I had to look at the satellite view to believe it but it’s true. This planet has skin cancer and it’s us.

Don’t forget to clean your horse off every few hours by brushing it in the same spot 3 times. Just… Why

I’m really curious about your idea of a well-executed open world. Can you give an example? Also about the caring about the plot. I could argue your point about not caring about the fate of the central characters for any game.

Thanks!

So for a total novice could you elaborate on this? Like why a certain build is better for gaming?

So is Mint still the easiest distro? I think I’m switching for good this time.

Ok so to be fair to biology the shape of the curve matters if you want to understand the mode of life and reproduction of the organism. It can be steady and sharply decrease like humans, or it can sharply decrease and then level off in adulthood like turtles. This illustrates different survival strategies: having a few offspring and investing a lot of energy into them so they survive or having a lot of offspring and relying on statistics to ensure a few of them survive. Then you have the worst case, like fish (and in this case, deer apparently), where the likelihood of death is constant throughout your life so it basically sucks the whole way through.

Some of the terminology is from Dan Simmons’ Hyperion series.

I don’t really care about the history of it. I only care what Taiwanese people think now.

I’m really curious how you defend a statement like this. What do you think defines present reality for people?

How am I blaming Taiwan? They’re trying to survive like anyone else. What that looks like is dictated mostly by the US, which represents an existential threat to the rest of the world.
