I’m just going to point out the irony of using this meme format to make that point.

If debating intelligence is waste of time, imagine what a “shit show” trying to measure it must be. This is the central point: measuring intelligence is just as foolish as measuring beauty or charm.

The problem is that this isn’t just a debate on the internet. Your IQ score can still literally be the difference between life and death in the US legal system. So it’s pretty important to let people know it’s pseudoscience from eugenicists that, by the way, doesn’t work!

There should be a warning label on any establishment or product that requires a smartphone to use.

You might be interested to know that carbonara dates back to the 1940s & 50s and the story goes that after the capture of Rome, American rations were used to create the dish. So powdered eggs and bacon are the most “authentic” carbonara. The people who run all over town for guancale and the tattooed cheese are the foolish ones by my sensibilities.

Eratosthenes is a word I can only hear in Carl Sagan’s voice.

It’s so disappointing to hear Killer Mike spit revolutionary lyrics like in ‘close your eyes’ only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

There is no market solution to capitalism. Something, something, tools of the master.

“Gods eye” view is a common idiom for a third person perspective. That’s probably what they’re referencing.

I’m making tempura bugs for dinner. On a night when everyone else gets nachos and pizza. Don’t you feel sorry for me?

I love Elon Bad posts, but I think it’s worthwhile to examine why Elon bad in this case.

Like many reactionaries, Elon’s business philosophy is pure tech-bro-libertarianism. And like all libertarians, he’s stuck in the neoliberal mindset of less regulation (don’t scrutinize) and more efficiency (let me be cheap), in order to create the safe space that industrialists need to extract, er create.

He’s literally said things like (paraphrasing)

When I see a specification for three bolts I ask: why can’t we do it with two?

His transparent reasoning is that if he’s allowed to cut corners, he’ll save money today and consequences can be dealt with when they arise.

He’s following the software model of release a minimally viable product and patch it later. Only instead of user frustration at being beta testers, you fucking die maybe.

Nothing is more on brand than a language pedant making grammar mistakes. What do you expect of person who thinks memorizing rules is the hallmark of intelligence?

Retro is a style and astetic as much as a function of time or technology.

Even mathematicians struggle with dividing things into precise and consistent sets and categories. Try to relax.

When I was young, you wouldn’t know if someone had guns unless you went hunting or something. It was kinda taboo to inquire.

This ethic probably originated from the fact that guns have always been a target for thieves. Nowadays, gun bros post their weapons on Facebook so you can see their custom paint job and accessories.

Building a database of gun ownership would be trivial. Even the old timers with their secrets could probably be sorted out from a dozen other personal data points.

Sorry gun owners, your collection is everybody’s business, just like a uterus.

Constant war; Obscene wealth inequality; Slave economy; feared by enemies and despised by friends; and never ending trouble in Judea. Can you imagine?

Some humidifiers use an oscillating diaphragm to mechanically aerosolize the water. No heat, No steam.

This from a country that has the same attitude toward pedophilia as Richard Dawkins.

Sounds like someone is used to spaces where FUD gets you banned.

Y’all think the Tariffs on TSMC will come up?

Anyone who abandons NaziTwitter after today is officially slower to change than Debian.
