@Timodc @melissadderosa Tim, you're really losing your conscience on this one. There's just no possibility you'd extend this grace to a Republican with a Nazi tattoo, and you should admit that to yourself. You must course correct - first instance I've seen of bad faith on your part. Shameful.
English
I’d like @melissadderosa to explain in detail what it is that Platner could do as 1 senator out of 100 that would be worse than Trump having a rubber stamp senate for judges, appointments, and the 2028 election interference we know is coming.

@nancym73026589 @CuriousBunnie12 I really doubt you're giving your kids lots of freedom in other areas.
English
@CuriousBunnie12 Because there is zero reason to ever take a risk on something like sleepovers. You go be that weirdo. We certainly will not be. I give my kids plenty of other ways to have freedom and exploration. Sleepovers are not it
English
everyone’s paranoid and fed a 24/7 cycle of horror stories via phone every day

Are sleepovers much more rare than they used to be?

@WB_Baskerville It just seems to me that if you're going into a romantic setting thinking in terms of how much value you're getting out of the interaction rather than how much you like and are interested in the other party... what you're building is a transactional relationship.
English
@AugustusTapirus I don’t think “pick me up for a date” (or have me picked up, in NYC) is all that transactional, but yes he can decide that
English
This is one where I think it’s kind of silly for her to expect the uber but, once she asks for it, I think the guy really should just get it.
Yea it’s a little request that’s unnecessary. She gets to make those, and if you refuse she gets to read into it.

@Lasermazer @avrilbradley23 Both. If it's a one way journey then there's just no return on investment. What do the people shooting the probes out into space get in return for this huge outlay of resources?
English
@AugustusTapirus @avrilbradley23 Are you only asking about a scenario where it’s just simulated minds (who presumably have same kind of subjective experiences and creativity as us) or saying even if biological children were raised at the destination you wouldn’t see a purpose?
English
An idea that's explored by only a limited amount of sci fi is one where some form of human civilization persists for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years but save for probes and the like is limited to our Solar System.

Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.
English
@Lasermazer @avrilbradley23 What would be the purpose or benefit of that?
English
@avrilbradley23 If humans survive for that long I think they would eventually be able to produce simulated human brains that could travel on probes without need for life support…they could even bring along frozen human embryos and raise children at the destination

Maybe two dozen of these are misspellings or lucky guesses, but overall I'm proud of this.

Pope Leo XIV on AI:
“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
English
@GjMcGowan It’s all present tense and therefore correct.
He does not say they cannot be. Although that is obviously the implication
English
Not surprising I guess that he says they can't be conscious
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@jaleelappleseed @Viggie_Smalls93 Photos were posted all over my Instagram, even a neighbor took photos, and there is a police report. They said since he was just a drug addict homeless guy who didn’t steal anything or do any actual harm, they couldn’t hold him. Be safe out there bud
English
It’s literally true and people refuse to acknowledge it because they see homeless people

@allTheYud I have a cousin who’s a contractor in Hawaii and is familiar with this and other similar projects. Apparently these are seen as huge jokes because the marine air will 100% fowl up the HVAC and high tech systems in a couple years without frequent maintenance.
English
This idiot thinks so little of superintelligence that he thinks he can hide from what his kind are unleashing in a bunker. Probably thinks he's basically the smartest kind of mind that can exist.

@dsaorthocaucus Additionally, I've never seen any of these "Mary was probably [insert very young age] at the nativity" claims substantiated in any way. I get that it's an old tradition, but is there any actual evidence for it?

@naturalborntx @DHSgov If the product of our culture is people like you then we're better off losing it.
English
@DHSgov Make it simple and discontinue all non-tourist visas and green cards for a decade or two so we can digest the millions of un-assimilated people in this country. If we lose our culture we lose our country.
English
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply.
This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.
The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

@neeratanden @SamSeder Are you going to apologize for libeling him in a pretty reckless way?

Hi @SamSeder - really grateful for your concern. I saw accounts I trusted state Piker supported Galindo, but I doublechecked and that was wrong. So I've deleted. Apologies for the error.

This is a really embarrassing and desperate lie. I get that a 2am tweet can be subject to all sorts of influences but if there’s a problem someone should step in.

@franzsherbert It's also possible to like some of her choices and not others.
"Lying Odysseus" = stylish, clever, ironic, thematically resonant, arguably an improvement
"complicated man" = iconoclasm for shock value, self-consciously artless, inaccurate

@dheerajchand @kevinobriencha1 I’m not gonna pretend to be an expert in translation, but it kind of sounds like what you’re proposing here is no longer a translation, but a paraphrase or rewrite.
English
@kevinobriencha1 None of these tie directly to the fact that Odysseus uses lies as a weapon. While they are more flattering, they don't surface what Wilson does, that deception is in his quiver.
English
Probably the most outrageous mistranslation by Emily Wilson is found in Book XXIV, line 303.
Wilson translates:
"Lying Odysseus replied, 'I will tell you the truth completely.'"
Wilson misrepresents the meaning of πολύμητις.
Murray for example translates this as "of many wiles", which is also a bit misleading. But to translate πολύμητις as lying is outright evil. πολύμητις is reminiscent of πολύτροπον in Book I, line 1.
πολύμητις means to be thoughtful, circumspect, in many ways and in this way cunning.
English
@vixffxiv @godspeed_aflame Jesus is just not that concerned about you avoiding being taken advantage of. It's not a top priority.
English
@godspeed_aflame I do have trouble with this I will admit. I think I can still hope the best for them but also not want to be taken advantage of? I don’t know. I have a hard time believing that Jesus wanted us to be eventually murdered in our homeland.

Christ’s gospel was so radical, so contrary to the wisdom of the world, that people are still coping 2000 years later, insisting that he didn’t actually mean what he said.
