This reminds me of another circular argument: Anything the president does can be considered “acting presidential” simply because they’re president. You might’ve thought that shitposting on twitter was unbecoming of a world leader, but once a president does it, it’s okay for a president to do.

An argument to protect a fool from public criticism now doubles as a defense against legal action.

Speedrunners go in at a slight angle so they can drift / mini-turbo their way through this section.

omg if you rearrange the letters it spells “BEWITCHERS” and “ML”. And we all know “ML” can only stand for one of two things:

• machine learning, as in the robots are taking over and ruining society, or
• :3 mlem :P

I tried muting the TV and just reading the captions for a little, and it made me a fair bit more confident in Biden. And he did have some good moments after I turned the sound back on. I’m just worried it won’t be enough. Maybe it’s the anxiety of realizing that we’ve actually reached election season.

I keep tuning in and out. I tune out when Trump speaks because everything he says is just such an affront to objective reality. But then I also tune out when Biden speaks because… He just comes off as so old it’s making me cringe. Like, this is the best we could come up with to combat a literal fucking fascist.

Then I wonder, what part of this am I listening to? The questions?

Five Nights at Freddy’s. So much wasted brainpower.

That’s why programmers have all those monitors. They’re each hooked up to a different computer.

I’d say this is more like how to email effectively. If you want to email like a boss, you need to master the subtle art of the one-word email.

doubters will waste time arguing about what kind of logical fallacy this is

For more irony: they’re grooming kids to make them more accepting of exploitation.

I get you now. But I still feel like “car” is intended to be (or ought to be) narrowly defined as a 1000-lb metal box on wheels with an engine. I think referring to other vehicles as “cars” just muddles the discourse.

Then again, I’m conflicted. If I replace “car” with another word like “meat” or “milk”, I have a different reaction. If someone wrote an article about factory-farm chickens vs free-range chickens and said, “There really is no such thing as ‘good’ meat,” I’d definitely chime in with, “What about vegan meat?”

Maybe it’s because I perceive the gap between animal meat and vegan meat as narrower than the gap between 1000-lb metal boxes with engines and other types of vehicles. Like… if I have to pedal, it’s not a car.

Is the Flintstones car a “car”?

I’m not sure I follow.

Do those really count as cars in the usual sense of the term?

Ah crap, you’re right. I’ve been so focused on the one case that reached a conclusion that I tend to forget all the other cases still pending.

You could take any one of those completely out of context and they’d still be solid.

Now now. He said the felony indictment would create a constitutional crisis. The trial would grind government to a halt. His trial’s over, he’s already been convicted. Completely different situation.

Sarcasm aside, I don’t expect this to matter much. Pointing out the hypocrisy never seems to do anything. Maybe hopefully it’ll peel off some hesitant voters on the margins, but will it cause the party to change course in any substantial way? I doubt it.

Ooh, you’re right. Haven’t got a clue :)
