  • CiviClick, which bills itself as "the first and best AI-powered grassroots advocacy platform."

    so the word "grassroots" just doesn't fucking mean anything anymore, huh

  • the mere suggestion should be considered treason

  • absolutely fucking egregious and shameful that they would do this without first passing it through the middlemen that make it legal. what will become of the PACs and lobbyists if we allow this?

  • don't amendments need 67 Senate votes?

  • is the first one in E even a toaster? looks like an old-fashioned waffle iron

  • if being proved wrong meant anything to maga the movement would have died a decade ago

  • or, apparently equivalently, Robert Borden, Elizabeth II, and a common loon (Gavia immer)

  • remember when AOC was going to make hamburgers illegal?

  • "we" huh? as in he identifies himself as part of their group? while acknowledging that they're Nazis? interesting.

  • I guess when the consumers you're targeting are apparently the type to need a demonstration of how a card fits in a wallet, you shouldn't expect them to understand that that card is in fact solely for the purpose of that demonstration

  • also the Richter scale is logarithmic; each point is ten times as much as the previous. so a 3 is not 30% as much as a 10, it's one ten-millionth as much

  • yeah I had something similar with the Beatles, where literally my first memory of music is Abbey Road, so my whole life I was like, I don't get the hype, that's just what music sounds like. it was only recently I went and listened to the album again with context of what other music from the 60s was like, and I finally realized that they were truly doing some wild shit with songwriting and production

  • "you can't just say bankruptcy"

    "I didn't say it, I asserted it"

  • if by home you mean prison

  • I think equally important as teaching these things to begin with is letting students know when they're being taught a simplified model, and that serious academic discourse of the subject is still evolving and/or involves much more nuance (which is pretty much always). some people who do pay attention in science classes nonetheless think that what they learned is gospel and never re-examine it, or stubbornly refuse to acknowledge when said nuance is relevant because it seems to contradict the simplified model they've cemented in their brain as the whole truth. the kind of people who say things like "I know there's two genders because I learned it in high school biology" and apparently never considered why there would be collegiate and post-graduate studies on biology and gender (or why those are two entirely different fields of study) if we all already learned everything there is to know in high school.

  • ever heard of the Lone Ranger?

  • doesn't matter if it was unanimous or not, the board does not have the legal authority to change the name. my d&d group can vote unanimously that we should have free snacks, that doesn't mean there's no consequences if we go rob the convenience store
