@electionsjoe Lots of alcoholics, not much to do

How the hell is Alaska a high crime state? Are people stealing each other's fish or something?

@onomatopoeiatwt >Ayn Rand

@vividvoid @morallawwithin Have you *read* the Analects?

@vividvoid @morallawwithin Bro, Confucius was not a good philosopher

It’s possible to find out how good at philosophy you are, and whether you’re vegan is a mostly decisive test

@waynebriqu37421 @HomelessEconomy @TrueSlazac Because their money would depreciate in value otherwise under Freigeld

@HomelessEconomy @TrueSlazac Why would anyone lend money and take risk for zero profit?

Being against interest has to be one of the most annoying slopulist positions

@elementgermani3 @PAHoyeck No -m

@ErhuoDaoshi @PAHoyeck Cogito ergo sum.

The strongest argument for why AI can never be conscious: P1. Human brains are made of squishy meat stuff P2. AI is not made from squishy meat stuff P3. Human brains can produce conscious states P4. Magic. SHAZAM!!! C. Therefore, AI cannot have conscious states

an easy way to see if someone has good morals is to ask them if they want to kill and eat random people or not

@PAHoyeck Everyone is p-zombies, incl. me and you

@ErhuoDaoshi ?

@JimDMiller Speak for yourself

Given that women have a strong preference for tall men, and given that height is highly heritable, why hasn't evolution given men a stronger preference for tall women?

@BecomingCritter I'd get off Twitter

this question haunts me

@uruties32 Kumirei is so bad, Kumiko and Asuka would genuinely be better (still bad for what Eupho is)

The ones on surely Yuri have the girls falling in love with men

@CEvergrande I guess so

@ErhuoDaoshi @rowanfornow @Hidden_Collect Literally any benefit would be more productive than the current activities of Utahns (worshipping polygamists)

Anti data center is the slop battle of our lifetime

@RichardHanania "also brought unimagined... convenience" This is maybe bad actually, though I think it's more clearly so when it comes to things like Uber Eats and Doordash and such

Every generation of leftists seems to just hate whatever new thing most represents capitalism and is making life better. Then they forget and move on to the next one. First they obsessed over Walmart. Its crime was a wider range of goods and lower prices. Then Amazon was the issue, because it also gave low prices but also brought unimagined variety and convenience. One click order to get anything in the world overnight, sane people would've been singing its praises, but they specifically targeted them. Now it's data centers, the main engine of economic growth. Populist rightoids are joining them. Good thing about the American system is that it's too deadlocked and too subject to special interest influence to wipe out whatever is new. So data centers will make life better, and then they'll hate the next thing.

@aiidancash @Hidden_Collect Primarily so. I think James Fishback has brought it up in his campaign, too, though.

@Hidden_Collect Leftist slop btw

@CEvergrande @rowanfornow @Hidden_Collect Will they?

@rowanfornow @Hidden_Collect More computing power allows for more efficiency in networked systems, the gains of which will outweigh the costs long term

@arriwthreat @Apaginayuri The anime is good. The author agrees as much. Plus hectopascal is a great ED

@Apaginayuri Meh, the bloom into you anime was meant to be a promotion for the manga, I don’t think they ever intended to make s2. People should really just read it, the anime is whatever.

@WhoCaresATPsigh @Apaginayuri It's good, though. Better than the anime in some respects (can't speak to the manga). Volume 5 is the best part of the series

@Apaginayuri funny becouse watanare manga and anime are pretty good but the LIGHT NOVEL IS SO DOGSHIT

@JoePostingg How much more severe?

You can only pick one

@ww_dasilva @Lux_Stella_ Retvrn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventio…

@Lux_Stella_ thomas jefferson famously thought the constitution should be rewritten every ~19 years so that the people of the future wouldn't be held hostage by their ancestors

the framers of the constitution bootstrapped institutions out of sample size n=2 after years of bitter infighting and backroom deals and still went to their graves wondering if there could be better alternatives. the american right to this day shame their legacy.
