  • The funny thing is that Facebook messages that said more or less the same thing weren't allowed to be introduced in the trial. My guess is it wouldn't have mattered. Considering the judge was such a fucking asshole through the whole trial.

    Prosecutors wanted to charge Rittenhouse with possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18 or some similar charge but the judge waited until the last day to say that he interpreted the law differently and prosecutors wouldn't be allowed to charge him.

    "Prosecutors should have appealed to [Some court I forgot] before the trial was on it's last day, well I just told you so I guess that one is on me." - Judge who knew exactly what he was doing.


  • Infinity is more a direction than a number. That's why math majors generally prefer to say approaches infinity rather than infinity.

    On a human scale infinity doesn't really matter. Bottom choice approaches infinity infinitely faster than top and would be a better choice. Would you rather 1 person die from disease a day or 10,000 people? It all approaches infinity in the end but one choice is demonstrably better.



  • Because despite having better opinions 95% of communists still hold to liberal ways of thinking or liberal research statistics.

    Nuclear was viable as a stopgap when solar and wind tech wasn't there yet. But there's no real reason to invest in it today as a main source of energy. If you say that then you'll inevitable get the "solar and wind isn't enough to supply energy" quote from Exxon Mobile and other fossil fuel researchers. They're aren't being deliberately reactionary, they just haven't re-examined their beliefs that far yet.

    It's like how you had to re-learn that the American revolution wasn't actually about freedom and democracy. Just a remnant of lib brain worms that persist after the core has been removed.



  • Anyone younger than 24 is still a child and that includes men, women, and nbs. The soft spot on your head hasn't yet hardened over. A 20 year old is a high school kid but slightly better. They are very much still a child.

    That's something you only get in hindsight though and most people on this site don't have that yet. Remember how you think of yourself in high school? That'll be how you feel about your 20's when you're 30.



  • 99% of this shit is ultimately meaningless as it relies on knowing a "trick."

    There is a huge contradictory expectation at the heart of computer science where you're simultaneously supposed to be good at solving problems in novel ways while simultaneously conforming to the industry standard way of solving those problems. Do you want me to be able to use reference values in my code because it might help solve a novel problem or do you want me stick with the built-in handling because reference values break code easier? Should we teach this concept that 95% of people never use in case they need it or should we just teach the abstraction and let them focus on higher-level stuff?




  • No he's a libshit milquetoast shitlib who I fucking hate.

    He should have literally made Stalin look a pacifist with hard he should have purged the labour party. Now we got slightly less Tory than Tory party but they still wants to throw trans people into a giant meat grinder. He was the last best hope for UK not to descend into utter shite and he did a Bernie and let everyone walk over him.



  • Now idea for an alien species:

    Imagine a highly advanced alien civilization but they hold very petty grudges that go against logic. You meet this cool civilization that can travel across the stars but then you learn that they routinely shoot explosives at a random uninhabited planet because it inconvenienced them at one point. Not even enough to destroy the thing but just to do the civilizational equivalent of calling it smelly.

    Basically what I want is a species with hyper-specific cultural taboos so I feel validated when I don't want to drink water because it has air bubbles on the side so I wait thirsty for like 30 minutes until they go away.



  • The worst ones are the ones that bring up how shitty the situation but never do anything about it. They feel that they have to mention eugenicist class society but don't have the guts to suggest an actual solution.

    Every pseudo-revolutionary LN I pick up devolves into magic academy slop after a few arcs at best. Ascendance of a Bookworm was good and now it is Harry Potter and it was created to torture me personally.





  • AVTR project

    Commander, The entire Xcom Project was the product of an ill-conceived plan... a series of simple misunderstandings, met with an overzealous response. We believe the best course of action now is to cooperate with the aliens for the betterment of all mankind. We are of one mind about this. The path ahead is clear... blue cat doms.
