For serious comments, my true audience is the unknown reader. For jokes, my audience is myself alone.

Lemmy dev suggestions: Remove all downvotes. User blocks should keep the blockee from seeing the blocker.

  • "I don't know why you guys are happy. The gold standard is double-blind, and you couldn't even do that."

  • It's even worse than that because a table has four sides. So, it's like a four-sided coin getting heads 14 times.

  • Okay, but how did Jesus know where it would be painted when he was making the seating chart?

  • Why did Jesus and all of his disciples sit on the same side of the table at the last supper?

  • For me, lately, it's literally been, "Oh shit. It's 2am. I'll just finish this chapter quickly."

    Then, "Fuck, it's 3am. I forgot about the chapter thing. I basically need to put the book down this instant or I'm a failure as a human. I can not be awake at 4."

    Finally put it down at 4 and sleep at 4:15. Failure as a human.

  • All the other jobs have been taken by robots, so

  • “Charlie Kirk says gun deaths are ‘unfortunately’ worth it to keep 2nd Amendment,” read the headline of an article Michael shared. He did not add any additional comment on it.

    Senator Blackburn (R-TN) then pinged the school about that post, and the professor was fired despite the fact that he had tenure and couldn't legally be fired like that. So he used the legal system to find a remedy.

  • The sad thing is that people don't even argue points. I wish people who lacked knowledge and wisdom would argue. Instead, they just rebroadcast whatever propaganda they were fed most recently, untroubled by anything like critical thinking or introspection, and mostly unchallenged by their peers.

  • I suspect that the louder a person talks, the more likely they are clueless about the topic.

  • One of the bills, to provide clean water to rural areas in Colorado, if I remember correctly, was passed nearly unanimously in both houses. To override the veto only requires 2/3 of both houses.

    It's just my personal opinion, but I think that if a lawmaker votes for legislation and then doesn't vote to override the veto, and it's not some extreme situation, they should be ejected from any government office and pilloried publicly for wasting taxpayer time and making light of their serious duties. Let the people pelt them with rotting fruit.

    When I say "extreme situation", I refer to the idea that some vital information comes out about the bill and that's the only reason the President vetoes it, to get a better version of the bill passed. Like there might be some technically important legal jargon in the bill that seems otherwise innocuous, and nobody realizes at first. Or the situation the bill is supposed to address significantly changes in the meantime.

  • Isn't there an old video somewhere of Hegseth saying that the military shouldn't follow illegal orders?

  • Just because they're man-made distinctions doesn't mean that they cannot be discussed or don't have beginnings.

  • Where do these grow? Why are insects scarce? Is it cold?

  • Now that I think about it, back on Reddit, there was some subreddit where they kept a list of all the shit Trump did. I think it was called "keep track" or something. It's one thing that I didn't easily see on Lemmy. So, it's nice to see that somebody is keeping a similar list somewhere.

  • What's not funny is that Elon Musk is CEO of a space travel company and what you're describing he's doing is almost the same thing that caused HAL 9000 to go insane in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

  • President Trump has created a unique political reality, largely by leading through instinct

    ... "leading through INSTINCT"??? I get that the article is complete bullshit, but nobody has an "instinct" to be a good president. I can guarantee that all of the best presidents in history (1) understood the importance and history of their office, (2) surrounded themselves and appointed the best talents they could find, (3) proactively tried to be the best president, and (4) stayed awake during important meetings.

    The author is similarly insulting in saying "gifted athletes." Do you know the one thing all top athletes have in common? It's that they work their asses off. Even if they're naturally gifted, it won't amount to shit without putting in the work.

  • Strange choice to make the time traveler a young child and eager to talk about their parents having sex.

  • Some herbivores make good pets.

  • When life gives you time, make timeonade.
