Ohhh, I loved Mull. Good to hear someone forked it.

I think we should be more considerate of animals in warzones in general. We often overlook their suffering.

Thank you!🥳

He has money to afford the best doctors in the world. If he has autism, he could get diagnosed.

And yes, he'd be rounded up on a train and shipped to a camp. How else are the Nazis gonna respond to a black man who proclaims themselves to be the greatest genius who ever lived?

I think this claim that he's being manipulated, while true, does elide some of the blame on Kanye. There have been plenty of people that have warned him what would happen if he continued down this path.

I do think it's worth pointing out that antisemitism is surprisingly high among African Americans. Which makes sense since they are disproportionately affected by institutional racism. Theories about globalist banking cabals neatly simplify the complex economic mechanisms by which they are oppressed. Of course, most black people don't then go around claiming that Hitler was right, because most black people are not blinded by mentail illness and hubris into thinking that they know better than the undeniable historical consensus of what happened in 1940s Europe.

What do you mean? We just outsource the waste management to private companies who assure us they will dispose of it in a safe and secure manner. (This is legitimately what America does with nuclear waste, with limited oversight -- fuck you Regan -- and it is fucking bananas).

This reminds me of a one of Zeno's Paradoxes of Motion. The following is from the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy:

Suppose a very fast runner—such as mythical Atalanta—needs to run for the bus. Clearly before she reaches the bus stop she must run half-way, as Aristotle says. There’s no problem there; supposing a constant motion it will take her 1/2 the time to run half-way there and 1/2 the time to run the rest of the way. Now she must also run half-way to the half-way point—i.e., a 1/4 of the total distance—before she reaches the half-way point, but again she is left with a finite number of finite lengths to run, and plenty of time to do it. And before she reaches 1/4 of the way she must reach 1/2 of 1/4=1/8 of the way; and before that a 1/16; and so on. There is no problem at any finite point in this series, but what if the halving is carried out infinitely many times? The resulting series contains no first distance to run, for any possible first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. However it does contain a final distance, namely 1/2 of the way; and a penultimate distance, 1/4 of the way; and a third to last distance, 1/8 of the way; and so on. Thus the series of distances that Atalanta is required to run is: …, then 1/16 of the way, then 1/8 of the way, then 1/4 of the way, and finally 1/2 of the way (for now we are not suggesting that she stops at the end of each segment and then starts running at the beginning of the next—we are thinking of her continuous run being composed of such parts). And now there is a problem, for this description of her run has her travelling an infinite number of finite distances, which, Zeno would have us conclude, must take an infinite time, which is to say it is never completed. And since the argument does not depend on the distance or who or what the mover is, it follows that no finite distance can ever be traveled, which is to say that all motion is impossible. (Note that the paradox could easily be generated in the other direction so that Atalanta must first run half way, then half the remaining way, then half of that and so on, so that she must run the following endless sequence of fractions of the total distance: 1/2, then 1/4, then 1/8, then ….)

Rewatched the Golden Years of the Simpsons recently and I think it's crazy that season 2 isn't included in that era. Season 2 Simpsons is fantastic.

I dont understand the downvotes on some of these anti-signal arguments. There are a number of very valid arguments against Signal if privacy is your chief concern: they have centralised servers, they've been extremely lax with adding their production updates to their publicly available source code on github, they receive funding from RFA.

Wait, what are the problems with Brave?

If you're caught outside in the rain, would you prefer if it was a raining a fair amount or completely bucketing down?

I suppose it doesn't matter, since in either case you'd have died from drowning whilst looking at the sky.
