Sometimes people ask why I bought a Bolt and not a Tesla and I always say something like "a couple of reasons, really" but I always think "because Musk is a real piece of shit that's why"

@kareem_carr You're asking if we believe in a soul. We'd all agree one neuron is not sentient. Three neurons aren't sentient. Some neurons and myelin sheaths? Nope. But a human brain made of a lot of those seems to have the emergent property of sentience. Does that necessitate a soul?

Imagine a computer that consists of humans doing calculations at rows of desks and passing pieces of paper between themselves. Do you believe that an AI simulated using this "hardware" can be sentient? If you think computers can be sentient then you have to say yes to this.

@DisneyPlus Doctor Who, Doctor Who, whenever you're in trouble! Doctor Who, Doctor Who, they'll be there on the double!

It's almost time for #DoctorWho's next regeneration! Coming in 2023 to #DisneyPlus.

@JonathanZhang72 I like my worlds hella magical, to such an extent that even martial abilities draw their power from latent magic. Action Surge and Multiattack are executed via time dilation. Rogue and Monk Evasion make a fireball do no damage by disrupting the magical field around them. Etc.

How do you all flavor the Fighter's Action Surge ability? I don't really like the idea of them just moving twice as fast for a few seconds, so I'm looking for some inspiration.

@ryanqnorth I feel the same way about ads for companies with no consumer-facing products. "Dow Chemical Company: Please Think About Us?"

@Corey_Yanofsky I had a conversation with my brother about Teams (he dislikes it) and I would summarize his issue as that his org wasn't using it at all as a communication tool but instead just as a file storage with too much abstraction. I think hating it for that is a bit unfair, personally

i do not get the hate for ms teams in my experience it's okay what do teams haters find lacking?

@rnaErin This is Curious George's fault somehow, I just know it

@BadMedicalTakes Ah damn, my sex sac is running on empty

@ampol_moment The Republican 2022 slogan: "Nuh uh, YOU are!"

@ampol_moment I feel like Zac really captures the problem with video calls, which is that you can't literally beat the shit out of someone so the best you can do is be livid

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says "womp womp" in response to Democratic strategist Zac Petkanas mentioning the case of a child with down syndrome being put in a cage at a US detention facility (2018)

@DucksityDuck @ampol_moment His son Beau died of cancer, so that's a possibility. It's also possible he was trying to say he has cancer

Joe Biden says he has cancer. (2022)

@ampol_moment ... Huh.

@ampol_moment Looking out from behind a tree, about to tackle a senator: "Fucker!"

Senator Cory Booker and Senator Jon Tester tackle each other. (2022)

@ampol_moment Hate to see two monsters fighting

@ampol_moment This is a tiktok

In an effort to land a future state prison in the impoverished town of Flora, Illinois members of the community, including the mayor and police chief, form the music group “The Barbed Wire Choir” and release the song “Is We Is” as a PR move Flora did not get the prison(1987)

@RasslinTime Depends how high the basket is. This one is easily within my reach!

You know, I'm sitting here trying to decide if I should dunk on or respond in earnest to this very bad tweet and I realize, I really won't lose much by deleting Twitter...

@bfwriter @sheologian @KateHeeChoi Why do companies interview candidates rather than merely looking at their LinkedIn
