Why do the simple people of the world insist that inelegance must be linked to some obvious measurable physical characteristic?

No matter how many times this idea gets humiliated by science, the dull inevitably wander back.

This meme is ageist because nobody over 11 yo could think it’s funny.

I heard that vapes were a conspiracy to get people used to sucking robot dick.

It’s a reference. The story that became “Blade Runner” was titled: “Do Androids dream of electric sheep?” Written by Philip K Dick.

There is a big difference between a “weed guy” and a drug dealer.

Show me a person who has 3 different kinds of weed, cocaine, LSD, and pills and I’ll show you a scary person.

TempleOS should be obscure, but everyone knows about it because it’s such a joke.

I read that as “new-age” verification. LOL

We gotta inspect your Chakra dude.

Nobody calls it the SS for that reason

Of course science is political. Knowledge is power and all power systems are political.

But ignoring philosophy, Science is a charity. By in large they must beg for their money. You don’t suppose that the people providing the money have any influence?

And I’m not talking about junk science, biased studies, or even fraud. A perfectly run study may still be political simply because it was chosen for funding over something else.

You must have been of Microslop for a while if you think frustrating issues on update is a Linux thing. Just last a couple weeks ago, Microsoft released a security update that locked people out of their “C” drive. (In Windows, this is bad)

When I was a kid I thought that any asteroid hitting Earth was bad. Now I gotta ask “where is it going to impact” first.

“freindzone” is a self-inflicted wound. Nobody can make you cower in the corner waiting for your “opportunity”. Nobody made you look at friendship with the opposite sex as something that must be suffered so as to be due a reward.

Does anybody use a screensaver in 2026?

I don’t understand why people drag on sugar-babies like they’re the stupid ones in the situation.

Safe, clean, and renewable. It’s the energy source of the future.

I don’t understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I’m satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That’s because the DE get’s the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.

Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I’ve just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.

The reason circumcision is common in the US has more to do with people like RFK jr. than it does with people like Epstein.

Gary Webb killed himself. He was divorced, unemployed, and his professional reputation was ruined. His reporting on the CIA importing cocaine was retracted after it was fact checked, and his editor would not stand behind the reporting.

But his article was published and is still available to read. The idea that the CIA assassinates people 20 years after they “spill the secrets” stretches credulity. Makes since he’d punch his own ticket.

The idea that he was shot twice “in the back of the head” is a myth. He did shoot himself twice, but that’s not so unusual. 42% of gunshot and penetrative wounds to the brain are survivable.

This meme irritates me because it depends on the misinformation that suicides are unusual or suspicious. Suicides are common as dirt. To the tune of like 40K people/ year in the US. It’s a major public health crisis but gets ignored because of taboo and because it’s a gun issue.

Who you gonna shoot? I’m serious. Stalin was a bankrobber. Haitians drove Napoleon’s army into the sea with machetes. The Black Panthers took several pigs off roll-call. What’s your plan, revolutionary?
