Perceived probability is an interesting concept. If you asked someone what the odds are of dying in an airplane or in a car, I imagine the majority wo...

Interesting— I haven’t followed the news in a couple days and must have missed this. Not sure what to think about it— I hear Sanders and Markey were N...

Just a reminder that this weather is indeed extreme. For anyone who can feel, and can read a graph, the pattern is alarming: https://www.nytimes.com/i...

RIP Willie Mays. Not on my list, but should have been.

:rofl: Always the same stupid excuses by plutocratic apologists. Too big to fail. Too big to jail. And too big to tax. It’s a law of nature that 90% o...

Missed this. Yes, I was.

Coal is dead. Good riddance. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/14/climate/trump-coal-politics.html

Watching the Trump cultists wiggle and squirm is amazing. :rofl:

Was a Trump judge. Whole thing was rigged. It was a perfect gun application.

Yes, it reeks of “humane.”

10,000 dead babies and genocide apologists call them “Hamas.” And they wonder why they’re internationally condemned and bleeding support. Oh wait, no…...

Hunter Biden found guilty! Oh no! Lol Must all be rigged, judge was a republican, we’re a banana republic, etc. Oh wait…no one cares. And Joe Biden sa...

Mistake. No. There are no philosophers anymore. And if there are, you won’t find them. Both are silly mistakes. No soulmates; no philosophers. Who wou...

:rofl:

No, nor do I care. I never once mentioned New York— not that it matters, since your feelings triumph because you see lots of stuff being under glass. ...

I already said: just go with your feelings and vibes and anecdotes. :lol:

Majority of Americans wrongly believe US is in recession – and most blame Biden It’s prices that matter to people, apparently— the cost of living. Not...

Oh I see— so the stats can’t be trusted, but your anecdotes should be. Funny — I walk into stores and almost nothing is locked up. Nothing that hasn’t...

Good god— is this really what braindead right wingers find funny? The crackhead jab was the only one not reliant on a stupid, nonexistent premise (cri...

So you’re with Oliver Stone on this one I guess. Seems silly to me. I don’t care that much, to be honest— could be true. What actually changed my mind...

Wallace Shawn is fantastic. Great scene.

Fine. Chomsky says it better than me, though (at 1:36): https://youtu.be/5BXtgq0Nhsc?si=oobHGIepP4-s_Fpk Also recommend “Rethinking Camelot.”

Okay, sure. But whatever the traits are that a leader possesses, it’s usually not passivity. Being confident, outspoken, have clear goals, being persu...

Nice. It varies because I often play stupidly just to try new things, because it’s fun and I don’t care much about the points. I think I could play at...

Good point— but I wonder how often. I would think mostly they’re just crushed. Yeah, and maybe that’s all it comes down to: few have truly any real pa...

Without question. Playing on chess.com shows me that. Above average, but nothing exceptional. Even @"Hanover" beat me for God’s sake. But the point be...

A good lounge topic. I have no idea what it’s called.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqWwV3xk9Qk&t=325s Another excellent explainer by Vox. Goes to show how silly the US's system is.

You mean Likud or Hamas. Neither, because I dislike terrorists. Would I prefer to live in Israel or Gaza? Israel, hands down. But that’s exactly the p...

If you have the right belief system, killing people is fine. Like the US in Iraq: spreading freedom and democracy. The “right” values. You have to bur...

Sorry, but war is hell. Collateral damage. Oh and the IDF fight for a belief system of apartheid and ethno-nationalism. No thanks.

Oh, cool! What a shocker. I’m sure Israel has the capability for precise targeting, after all, and that no innocent people will be among the dead. Not...

How tiresome. By that logic, Hamas is also justified in what they did. Innocent people die in war — “too bad.” I suppose the Israelis shouldn’t demand...

Another day, another “accidental” bombing of a school and innocent people being murdered. But war is hell and collateral damage and Hamas etc.

Could be.

Not that much riding on some rambling imbecile on the internet. Just come to this thread to laugh a little and go about your day.
