  • If ranting about cultural associations of animals makes me autistic, I don't want to be autistic!

  • I hate that rich people spend their money on making the world worse. If I were rich, my first order of business would be creating & manufacturing artificial squirrel robots, then opening a series of cat amusement parks all over the world where they get to chase the squirrel bots through Christmas trees.

  • My neighbors have a Maine Coon, that dude is already pretty big. And I think cheetahs are almost the same size. So I'll go ahead and assume you're a giant.

  • No no. "Ph.D." stands for "Phillip Dick", an old drinking pal of Sam Altman. According to some interviews, you can ask him pretty much anything and get a response.

  • I feel like the 24th/25th thing is an interesting generational divide. Millennials & below that I've talked to usually refer to the 24th as Christmas, whereas older people usually refer to the 25th.

  • The comic reminds me a lot of the last Hitchhikers Guide book by Adams!

  • You're missing my point.

    When the miner craze started, the top-line model prices shot up, and they never came back down. All the other prices increased as well.

    In a few generations, prices doubled.

  • So the medical personnel asks about the period, writes it down, and then completely ignores the answer for the rest of the examination? They just do X-Rays even if a patient says "I haven't had my period in 3 months"?

  • Of course, everyone knows a doctor won't even consider talking to you unless you carry a negative pregnancy test.

    Wait, why do they even ask about the period? Are they stupid, why isn't the negative pregnancy test enough?

  • How so? I'm really trying to empathize, but I can't understand how the potential harm for "the actual person having an actual medical emergency" is bigger if they're asked this question.

    I can see very tiny negatives (annoying question etc.). But none of them compare to the potential positives for both the person with a medical emergency, and any potential fetus involved. Say for example someone has gotten pregnant without knowing, but would like to keep the pregnancy - they might feel guilty for the rest of their lives if their medical visit causes harm to their pregnancy.

  • Okay, and what does the medical personnel do with that information? Do they track it in a secret global period database? Do they get together once a month to laugh about irregular periods?

  • Why, why, why…

  • Just like GPU prices! As soon as those miners stop buying all the GPUs, the top-line models will come back down.

    Oh wait.

  • Sorry, but that's not an acceptable answer. If you can't pivot your campaign even though your polling research shows you that individual, divisive topics are causing you to lose, something is broken enough that you definitely shouldn't have ever been a valid candidate. How can you expect to win against a populist if it takes years to listen to your voters?!

    I knew that Harris will lose the second she stepped on stage, was asked how things will change with her, and she answered that nothing will fundamentally change if she's elected. All while the other candidate keeps telling people that he understands they are hurting, and that he'll improve everything. I don't care who was responsible for that strategy - everyone involved should be banned from having influence on another campaign.

  • The "Harris" campaign was a continuation of Biden's ongoing campaign under a new candidate. They never had a chance to set their own messaging nor policy priorities.

    I don't see why the campaign being a continuation meant they couldn't set their own messaging or policy priorities. As far as I know, donations etc. can't be taken back if a campaign changes policies. Could you explain what you mean here?

  • Honestly I don't think it would have made a difference. The Harris campaign made it clear she doesn't care for her voter base - it's more important not to step on the Biden administrations' toes than to properly represent the people and win. What's the best that could have happened? Harris would have gone on stage with even more Republicans?

    They would have found a way to tank it either way.
