This works on libertarians too.

Fiat currency is socially constructed and would cease to exist if we stopped believing in it. It’s just that the value of gold works exactly the same way.

Sci-fi eugenics is still eugenics.

The Nazi term is “useless eater”, but I suppose “drain on society” is a pretty good translation.

Media criticism has become so full of right-wing messaging, that quality-slop doesn’t sound off-base. Kinda like poes law.

These CHOADS take the time to learn media-criticism jargon and aesthetics, but they use those to make single-digit ‘your Dad’ type complaints. The most popular being the existence of black actors.

I’ve seen people vehemently argue scientific accuracy in Star Wars. People are aggregated right now at the “unrealistic” casting of black actors in a Cyclops movie. Next to this insanity, quality-slop sounds pretty reasonable.

Con man Albuquerque

Anybody can cook like Paula Dean. All you need is lots of butter, cheese, and racism.

Being the “black friend” providing cover for White Supremacy is hardly anything new. Relying on black identity to legitimize racist ideals is some nested dolls of irony and hypocrisy.

I know a white guy who admits his is a race isn’t so good at critical thought.

I like to watch PBS spacetime on Youtube. It keeps me humble.

It’s for people who want to skim but not to read.

I love it that the B2 is a dive bomber now.

Well, then it must have been pretty true to the character because many people felt the antagonists had a good point in that show. In fact, many believe the series failed because of the way this arc was handled in that respect.

Just for those who don’t know: Maj. Bong was the highest scoring American ace of WWII with 40 (IIRC) kills. He mostly flew the P-38 in combat and was killed test-flying the P-80 shortly after the war.

Believing that science yields universally true results or is the only method of finding truths

You just described science as though it were a belief system. In reality, science has a presumption that your ideals are false, not true. And a person who could only discover truth through science wouldn’t be able to dress or feed themselves.

This might not be feasible. IDK how you could install a whole OS, inside of another, without looking like a serious virus or malware. There are many files that cannot be changed while Windows is running (why it needs to reboot so often for updates). And no sane OS is going to let a program edit things like the MBR.

Isn’t “Geforce Now” the background service that you have to sign into? I’m glad that Nvidia is taking Linux seriously, but this was never useful on Windows. (for me)

I suppose some Linux users may find it useful, and having a choice is always better. But this is the kind of software I don’t miss since I switched.

Looks neat, but the wrist is going to set off the fire alarm before his thumb even melts.

This isn’t wrong because Maduro is a good man, or even the legitimate leader of Venezuela.

He actually sucks shit and stole the election.

I could hear this before I clicked thru.

There are two kinds of people. The ones who hear the name Eratosthenes in Sagan’s voice, and those who can’t pronounce it.
