What on earth have you been smoking friend? Only Thai people? Really? Do you even know if there was anything approximating a Thai culture, that traveled several thousand kilometers…

>If you work for a place that does that, I just hope you stub your toe every morning. You're too kind. These kinds of nagging parasites should be force fed excrement until they cho…

Curiously, for me Ublock light works just as well after I was essentially forced to switch. I could still get the original to function, but with every random chrome update, the thi…

Firearms for home and personal defense. Also, not to even dig deeply into the many lunacies that the progressive left became insane about during the pandemic (both sides were guilt…

It's lovely to see actual data swat away ideological mosquito bite sniping points. The curious thing is that so many of these kinds of claims can be disproven in literally seconds …

I agree that it can be, and that this can be terribly depressing when you start to believe it's the case in your life (it's happened to me before), but even then at least there's a…

To see this, I would be happy in so many contexts and situations. I'm not by nature a luddite and appreciate the value of AI in many things, even as it now is, but the sheer overlo…

"I find something similar in my own life. I long ago stopped questioning a calculator, then stopped questioning Google, and now find that most answers from current AIs are pretty r…

The idea of this being what motivates how I write, what I write or that I write is repulsive as all hell at an existential level. Fuck this kind of thinking and all it represents t…

This other case, referenced in the same article, is even more deranged. For police to feel justified by such absurdly small reasons to mount a full blown militarized assault that t…

So to translate: You want concrete examples of capabilities for something billions are being spent on? What a Silly question! (hand waving about completely speculative future abili…

I'd absolutely love to see something like this live, in the flesh, obviously from far enough to survive it. It would be one of those spectacles for completely flabbergasting one's …

Yeah, but usually it was another human plying you with sweet nonsense from the other side of that dance, not some bland sludge factory pointed in the right direction. What you say …

Not every comment need be about a fanatical robotic optimization for "relevance". Half the interesting on this site would disappear otherwise, you realize? Besides, what's wrong wi…

That's fair enough, and common even in medical areas where the hard science and research are far more firmly established. However, with therapy, the looseness of those very things …

This is not to try and devalue the nature of your specific experience at all, okay? But, with your and some other descriptions here of how therapy works and how much looking around…

Much of the literature references this as the biggest ever tsunami at 500+ meters, but an account from one of the survivors who was there on his fishing boat (with his 7-year-old s…

Just to clarify a bit more here: Storm surges and tidal waves can be fantastically deadly and destructive too (Hurricane Katrina for example), I don't want to understate their dang…

thanks for the laugh, gave me a good chuckle by ".exe file"

The Japanese had long since built immense concrete sea walls (and other barriers like thick clusters of tough, fast-growing trees) throughout the length of their eastern coastlines…

>sums up what is wrong with modern conflict --- the abandonment of the moral high ground and a failure to take into account the will of people and their right to self-determination…

No. I call bullshit on your oddly protective stance in favor of how corporations do things. The pushback has to start somewhere and if it means being mildly rude to some poor cashi…

Was there any specific reason why it wouldn't heal no matter what? Something like diabetes maybe? As far as I know wounds that don't want to heal are pretty rare in people with mor…

I very much do blame the corporations and governments that push for these kinds of policies in some way or another. We see things like this, which happen about as often as fucking …
