The current MAGA “Christians” are like the Pharisees of Jesus’ time. So focused on the law while trying to feel holier than others that they would condemn the savior for healing on the wrong day instead of recognizing the miracle of the healing

Well said. I often say we’re more interested in being proven right then doing actual good. The Pharisees embody that attitude.

Fuck that. Saying empires are inevitable is a lot like saying fascism is inevitable. Maybe it’s true but you shouldn’t identify with the thing and make it’s purpose your own

I rarely fly but I want this shirt through security. Also a cishet male but we gotta keep em guessing

I want to know if sandhexen is sandwich or “hexed sandwich” but I refuse to look it up because “cursed sandwiches” is head canon now

I think liberals doing trust exercises with marxists and others from different political leanings is the effective part.

If you’re writing off all liberals then your view makes sense. At our no kings the Brown Berets showed up to protect those you are spurning. Many years ago I attended a UFW march that was also protected by the Brown Berets and it shocked an out of town liberal white woman who compared the union march to the Nazis. These people tend to only see aesthetics so the march is a good opportunity to make unusual alliances. That’s the concrete achievement of my local Marxist-lennist org, but that probably doesn’t make sense to the terminally online.

What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no “spare” energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.

We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn’t make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.

Decorum is what they say publicly but let’s be real, the results the Dems care about is campaign funding. They don’t stand up to AIPAC or their extralegal operations because they’re afraid of their money.

He only had two kids? Must hate America. I jest…

It’s dangerous to reason with those who are not liberated - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Watching Ivanka Trump disassociate when she introduced her child hood room makes me think the rich kids don’t exactly escape unscathed. But yeah, they target kids with the promise of changing their circumstances. They exploit the very weaknesses they breed in society.

One hand washes the other. They are different hands but they work together to sanewash each other. Biden sat on terrabytes of evidence but didn’t go after the pedos because it implicates Israel. Boths sides are bad, but in appreciaticely different ways

Instructions unclear, formed a new political party whose platform is inclusive of pedos.

And they wonder why their kids never visit anymore 🙄

Even if you give regular folks more guns, it makes everyone less safe. The criminals don’t care what the law is and will always have guns, those European counties are no exception.

Now I’m debating whether Republican politicians are as dumb as their followers…

Though there is plenty of evidence they dissolved bodies as well as dumped them as medical waste from a hospital into the ocean.

My advice is to stick to making specific observations as not to sound hyperbolic.

Yet at the same time what is needed is a counter-narrative to “AI can do the job”. My observation is the industry cycles between agile and waterfall development and people (who are the loudest) are using AI to do waterfall development. This is a bad idea for the same reasons waterfall development is bad: trying to write a spec that covers all situations is counterproductive.

The alternative I see is that we borrow from Agile and treat AI as a pair developer that you outsource small (or largely repetitive) tasks to. This is not vibe coding nor is it TDD as you are still actively developing all levels of the code, but your feedback loop (OODA) is kept short.
