@jeremykauffman @Rothmus Isn’t that sort of Massachusetts’ sloppy seconds?
English

@askboutfortune @NoContextHumans Living up to your description of "unprofitable trader"
English

@NoContextHumans You made $200 on first transaction, lost $100 by buying back, made $200 by reselling
$200 (profit) - $100 (loss) = $100
Profit is $100

@Mike15087215 @SophiesNewWorld @NoContextHumans @grok Nothing says you start with $800. If you only had that, you wouldn't be able to buy the cow again for $1100.
Let's say you start with $1000
After each step...
-800 = 200
+1000 = 1200
-1100 = 100
+1300 = 1400
$400 more than you started with. $400 profit.

@SophiesNewWorld @NoContextHumans If my bank account went from 800 to 1300, does all the in between matter? @grok

@_lll_llll_lll_ @pius3301 @BjorkBrodern Maybe the purpose of intellectual discourse is not to have a common conclusion but to broaden the mind of each party

@AStratelates I start to worry that the grocery store employees might start noticing that I've been down the same aisle three times and have bounced from one side of the store to the other five times.

@badatcatholic @DoorDashThomist This was the "oh sh—" moment for me when listening to the debate.
English

@DoorDashThomist Ngl I think his question to the audience is rhetorically powerful
English

Am I the only Catholic who thinks Trent Horn needs to elevate his polemics? The arguments from the 90s are starting to get old and cringe…

@AntHoneyJakes @BioMedSteve @RealMattFradd It's false to say that saying Mormons believe in a different Jesus than Trinitarian Christians comes from a misunderstanding of LDS theology. You displayed this by showing ways in which LDS understanding of Jesus is different from a Trinitarian understanding of Jesus.
English

@BioMedSteve @RealMattFradd You don’t believe we believe in a different Jesus?
Ok - thanks for clarifying.

My newest interview with Joe Heschmeyer is live now! If you are a Christian who has ever been curious about how Mormon's differ in faith, we dive in DEEP! Hope you all enjoy it!

@gcugrey_area @wil_da_beast630 Military service for the privilege to vote is basically the premise of Starship Troopers.
English

@wil_da_beast630 I’d be fine with that being the requirement for anyone to vote. Or just last year’s tax return proving you paid net tax (no eitc, etc).

@ChanceComments @NoContextHumans @grok For 100% of the planet. The abbreviation for miles is "mi"
This is just engagement bait, and I suppose I've taken it as well.
English

@NoContextHumans @grok 100m = 100 metres for 90% of the planet. Which makes this cartoon sensible!
English


@helmholtzw0 @Gravantus After a *very* brief glance at her IG, I'd say she is not (in any meaningful way)
English

@Gravantus God bless.
Wonder if she's Roman Catholic. Like my grandfather before me I have a weakness.
English

@MoternMedia Is Matt Farley going to give the cat in the background the attention it rightly deserves?
English

@AbuCortex @LRiriac @TierZoo @ChristianityOn I could buy that, at least with just "pure" communication (e.g. text via internet, like this). Now if they have to meet in person... whoever is outside their culture is going to be under a lot of stress because NDs don't handle being out of their comfort zone as well as NTs
English

@wjnewcomb @LRiriac @TierZoo @ChristianityOn I actually hold the belief that neurotypicals of different cultures are more likely to offend each other than autistic of different cultures, purely because of autistic blank slate cultural affiliation, verses neurotypical over reliance on local cultural connotations
English

Autistic: asks a question in a way that contextually suggests that they are trying to argue but doesn't realize it
Neurotypical: why are you arguing?
Autistic: produces narrative of events mediated through the lens of a brain that frequently fails to understand social context
No Nonsense Neurodivergent@NoNonsenseND
autistic person: *asks clarifying question* neurotypical person: why are you arguing with me
English

@dyingscribe I'd say the form is the bigger issue than the one-handedness. Not saying it can't be done, but I would expect AI to go for the more standard form. Still feels like a gaff to me


English

Goku has done multiple Kamehamehas with one hand, in Dragon Ball and into Z
LadyDevimon Respecter@nightsdrive_
@dyingscribe AI doesn’t even know how many hands the Kamehameha uses we’re fine. Looks like shit from an ass
English

@frozenaesthetic I had one therapist (male) who gave very "feminine" therapy. Just affirmation. I missed a sesh, then ghosted him (and he never tried to get in contact again, which is telling)
My current therapist (also male) is more helpful because he calls me on my BS and challenges my behavior
English

@quincylsb @Frollein_VogelV They may think women are people, but that's different from acting as if they are. Many people behave in a way that shows, deep down, they don't think of women as having moral agency.
English

No one in 2026 thinks that women aren’t people. That’s not only laughable, but that notion has absolutely nothing to do with modern feminism.
Modern feminism is about diminishing masculinity and men, but also wanting to be men, co-op men’s spaces, entertainment, etc while also keeping the benefits of being a woman and living off of men.
English

@ABHibbs21 @nightsdrive_ @M0NKEYCAN @dyingscribe Dragon Ball "fans" who didn't watch/read Dragon Ball can be safely ignored
English

Oooooh yeah we’re cooked
露西的百宝箱@Lucy_love_AI
Seeddance 2.0 ai 模型太疯狂了 提示词:'Figure 1 角色在世界武术大赛中与 Figure 2 角色对战' 附加输入图像
English

@nightsdrive_ @DPN098 @dyingscribe This is not a joke. It's a development of how Goku beat King Piccolo by using a Kamehameha (one-handed btw) to propel himself upward and pierce through his body.
He follows up the foot variant with a double punch to Piccolo Jr.

English

@DPN098 @dyingscribe This is a joke because it’s a comedy manga, you can point out exceptions that’s what makes the rule a rule.
English

@AbuCortex @LRiriac @TierZoo @ChristianityOn People put up soft "fences" around the conversation. These can be very difficult for NDs to recognize so they overstep them without realizing.
I have ADHD (and my wife suspects mild autism). I've had to learn these actively. It wasn't intuitive, but the patterns can be learned
English

@AbuCortex @LRiriac @TierZoo @ChristianityOn Oftentimes it's not about just that one imprecise response. Vague answers are often a sign they don't want to talk in depth. Could be because they don't know. Could be because it's emotionally taxing. Could be because they don't want the other person to know details
