coder? I hardly--

@GamerGirlBLU @atropalex All the fucking time, dude.

@atropalex I mean it’s true You see a man screaming like a woman over pronouns or some other shit?

third grader at work marks “boys are logical and girls are emotional” as fact instead of opinion :|

@DanielJRhoads1 @mattyglesias @wanye because it's a stupid caricature

@mattyglesias No one in these comments, either pro- or anti-abortion, is addressing the point @wanye was making, that there are progressives who believe that SCIENCE says abortion is GOOD

???

@gonzalezharry @estherzelda0514 Read your last sentence again. You see behavior, which you view from a universalist moral framework rather than a consequentialist framework, and do not think through what a consequentialist moral framework actually looks like, and instead conclude that liberals just love evil.

@SapientToasters @estherzelda0514 How?

Conservative brain can be interesting. They start with a deontological premise, that you must always do good, abortion is murder and therefore evil, you cannot have an abortion. They assume liberals use the same moral framework, except in reverse. They think we think that murder is good or even doing evil is better than doing good, so they get very confused and cannot understand how liberals reach the conclusions they do. When conservatives reason like this, it doesn't cross their mind that liberals are not, that we don't look for universal principles or rule-based ethics, and often reach conclusions from a consequentialist framework. Liberals think abortion is permissible because the alternative in a lot of cases is far worse. That's all that is going on. Which a conservative with a very deontological bent cannot see, so they project their own reasoning patterns on liberals and get wacky conclusions.

@gonzalezharry @estherzelda0514 you do understand how you demonstrated the exact line of thinking she laid out, right?

@estherzelda0514 We can see it, we just think it is evil regardless of whether you think it’s not or don’t. We don’t assume you’re evil then use that to rationalize your behavior, we see your behavior and can’t reach any other conclusion than… you’re just evil worthless scum.

@SpyingSquirrel @secretazian @justinboldaji Why do you write like that

X.com Creation: Musk launched online financial services firm X.com using proceeds from his previous company, Zip2. The Merger: X.com merged with Confinity (led by Peter Thiel and Max Levchin) to combine their digital payment systems. Naming: The combined company was initially named X.com, but was officially renamed PayPal in 2001” When eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion in 2002, Musk was the company's largest shareholder and received $165 million from the sale”

It’s pretty cool how it’s abundantly clear that the richest man on earth is living in a hell in his own mind and every day is a new torture for him

@Ibebbee @RidleyDM @xwanyex it seems like a mistake to assume every single person who disagrees with you is a crazy bastard who doesn't understand their own beliefs

@RidleyDM @xwanyex It's nonsense. That's the point. Liberals routinely think their inside-out moral assumptions are scientific facts even though it's a nonsensical category error.

It’s my strong sense that the average liberal actually believes — like really believes on some level — that it’s a scientific fact that abortions are good. They’ve really gassed themselves up about their preferences.

@realBrandonGill why post a photo with a pedophile

If all cultures were the same, there would be multiple Americas across the globe. But there’s only one. And it’s a culture we have to defend at all costs. Read my emergency letter below:

@SecDuffy DEI bike lanes? what does that mean

Remember when Biden and Boot-edge-edge used YOUR MONEY for DEI bike lanes and climate change? THAT’S OVER I just redirected $1.73 billion in USDOT grants away from Biden-era DEI pet projects Now this funding is officially locked in to fix America’s actual backbone: ROADS, BRIDGES, AND SHIPPING PORTS @realDailyWire ➡️ dailywire.com/news/trump-use…

@zeta_globin the movie was very Nolan The visuals were amazing, the casting was good the message and plot were... Fine. I don't like Nolan much

@BlueStateBlues3 @ReichlinMelnick @ianbremmer what are you talking about, dude?

@ReichlinMelnick @ianbremmer He's a metaphor for you. You're the 15-year-old girl who threatens to cut her wrists when her boyfriend breaks up with her so he'll stay or her death or harm is his fault.

Say you're a bush pilot flying food, clean water, and medicine to a remote town. One day, you decide you just don't feel like doing it. People in the town die because they didn't get meds in time. Are you responsible for those deaths? @ianbremmer says "obviously" no. I say yes.

@mattvanswol aren't you pro-elon? Why are you posting this

🚨ABSOLUTE MIC DROP FROM ELON ON DOGE!!!! Elon Musk: "ZERO died because of DOGE. Zero point zero!" "When funding is stopped for a fraudulent organization, or for something do you think they're going to say,"Will you please keep funding the fraud!' Or do you think they're going to come up with a sad story that sounds sympathetic in order to get the funding restored? Obviously it will be the latter and that's exactly what they did!!!" LIBERAL WHITE WOMAN: "The cuts certainly caused unnecessary suffering!" Elon Musk: "No." LIBERAL WHITE WOMAN: "You don't buy that at all?!" Elon Musk: "It caused a lot of complaining!" LIBERAL WHITE WOMAN: "You don't believe any kid in Africa died because of the suddenness with which... Elon Musk: Zero! How many NGOs could step in? There are literally tens of thousands of NGOs. The Gates Foundation has FIFTY BILLION! What about them? What about any number of organizations?!" ELON IS ON FIRE!!!!!!

@Stevenrutledge @esjesjesj yeah when you make shit up to slander a group you hate you're being an asshole

Nothing in the clip you provided, says anything remotely like what you posted: Interviewer: People say that you’re a racist. What is the motivation for doing that? Are you fomenting this? Elon Musk: My partner is, she’s half-Indian, and I have four children with her. One of them was named after a famous Indian physicist. So I would say I’m not racist. And also if you look at the people that are employed at my companies, we have senior executives of all races. I don’t think there’s any racism there. Interviewer: Are you anti-Muslim? Elon Musk: I am against having people coming to a country with antithetical views. I am against that. I’m against rape and murder. I’m against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we’ve come to accept in the West. And I think it’s a crying shame that the sort of traditional media like you don’t recognise this.

Interviewer: Are you a bigot? Elon: No of course not. Interviewer: Do you hate this particular minority? Elon: Why yes I do very much.

@nelliamuse @OptimoPrincipi Emily Wilson look her up

@OptimoPrincipi Who the hell is she and what qualifications does she have to tell people what war is about and how to interpret it?

Emily Wilson after watching the Odyssey: ‘The film presents an Odysseus who feels very bad about things that he's done in war, and is struggling to process them in a very modern, psychiatrised way – and needs drugs to do so! He seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually see him get to do much warrioring ... Nolan makes the protagonist a likeable, all-American hero; Homer's Odysseus wants glory, and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city! I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory. This is a film that has an interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.’

@HYPER_STITION @keysmashbandit I'm talking just data organization, not the colors.

@SapientToasters @keysmashbandit uh yeah these suck the table bars are way easier to read the colour scheme is also way better give the analyst a pay rise

A shockingly unskilled way to visualize information. A Claude-MBA hybrid is responsible for it

@IsaacKing314 Induced demand, maybe?

I don't fully understand why programmers seem to be the ~only group of people not angry that their jobs are being automated.

@HYPER_STITION @keysmashbandit Made some garbage charts in python in like 20 minutes for a quick demonstration

@keysmashbandit Why is this bad

@HYPER_STITION @keysmashbandit Gleaning actual insights from it is a pain because the data is organized such that you have to look across the image over and over to be able to make any comparisons whatsoever

@alynokioku ....was that the Verrazano bridge? Is this in Staten Island????

As much as I would make fun of these guys, I think I'd get along pretty well with them

@Tyler_A_Harper Maybe conservatives should get smarter?

It’s worth noting that I do not think any of this is solvable. Conservative academics made up about a third of faculty just a few decades ago, but there is no pipeline of conservative PhDs to hire anymore. I just think we all should be honest that this *is* in fact a problem!

Here’s the brass tacks question progressive academics seem to want to avoid answering: does anyone seriously believe that a geographer critical of immigration would be likely to be hired by an elite American university? Or would those views put them at a profound disadvantage? 1/

Twenty years? Lmao
