  • Because it isn't burning, it's exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that's going off veeeeeery slowly

  • I actually don't think a fully artificial human like mind will ever be built outside of novelty purely because we ventured down the path of binary computing.

    Great for mass calculation but horrible for the kinds of complex pattern recognitions that the human mind excels at.

    The singularity point isn't going to be the matrix or skynet or AM, it's going to be the first quantum device successfully implanted and integrated into a human mind as a high speed calculation sidegrade "Third Hemisphere."

    Someone capable of seamlessly balancing between human pattern recognition abilities and emotional intelligence while also capable of performing near instant multiplication of matrices of 100 entries of length in 15 dimensions.

  • I still think the dill pickle flavored ones taste better

  • Basically, "I can't stop thinking of dat ass lol, you said I could tap that but now I'm blueballed, so I'm in the basement feeling like a loser while jacking off to you and trying to hold the spit until you get here."

    Some of those terms are basically the equivalent of appending lol or XD or rofl onto the end of every sentence, but yeah, it's basically just "ayo lemme smash already gurl!"

  • As in our profits and minimized losses.

  • I say make it a gradient based on zip codes.

    High enough that the local average rent is no more than 30% of it.

    Doesn't just make sure workers get paid adequately wherever they are, also provides a slight incentive towards making jobs in less developed regions of the country to bring more jobs out to the exurbs and such.

  • Hey don't blame us, blame the nepos who got on the board without even needing to study for it!

    My MBA track actively rewards me for thinking like a socialist XD.

  • Association based morality is a hell of a drug.

    Everything Kamala does is at best annoyingly misguided because she's "one of them."

    Everything Trump does is at worst excusable because he's "one of us."

    They don't have principles, they believe the good people need to be protected and that the bad people need to be punished, and that what decides good from bad is who they are, not what they do.

    I blame the Calvinists. Fuckers pull predestination out of their rancid anuses and we've all been suffering for it since!

  • So we really just cycled all the way back to "The Left" being a dogwhistle in antisemitic conspiracy language again huh?

    Trump said they'd be to blame if he lost and this pops up not even a week later.

  • US Greens are damned traitors to democracy itself.

  • That feels like the biggest scumbag move tbch

    Like it's statistically impossible that your client's ex that you helped them divorce was the only person you'd ever love.

    Also, it exposes you to accusations of improperly representing your client's best interests since we now know you could have been incentivized to pickme dance over how you stopped the divorcing spouse from taking everything they could have.

  • You mean by granting it the most autonomy out of all the states when we made them into a state? They even get to set their own importation laws to maintain their ecosystem.

    The annexation was a shit deal but statehood gave them more rights than most explicitly designated ethnic autonomous zones around the world have today.

  • Again, just gonna ignore the qualified majority rules huh?

  • I'd say my idea is less about equality and more about difference in purpose.

    The Senate in my model only vets legislation, and even then, if they don't do it within a reasonable time frame the law passes anyways, and even if they do take the issue up, it can only act by matching or beating the house's vote to pass the law, and do so with a coalition representing a majority of all americans, so if there's 3 senators per state, one californian senator would count for a third of California's population towards this count, aaaaand just to make certain that we're certain it isn't becoming a cornfield court, while the senate can override by matching the house's voting margin, the house can override by matching the population margin the Senate vetoed with.

    It's a veto that a wise senate leader would only try to invoke if they knew it could make it stick, or if they felt what had arrived on desk was so egregious it was worth picking the fight over regardless of certainty. As opposed to right now where the Senate just never does anything because of filibusters. Now just sitting on their hands actively reduces their ability to intercept policy or nominations and the theoretical state of debate only lasts as long as until the bill automatically becomes to law for lack of a veto passing under the described conditions.

  • Just gonna skip right on past that reduced threshold to overturn the Senate veto, the having to act on everything they want to halt, and the qualified majority bits huh? Also how in the hell does more senators automatically make small states more powerful? Giving more voice to minorities within small states would technically undermine state level bigwigs trying to have a partisan lock on their senate delegations.

    Hawaii is a small state, DC would be a small state, Delaware and most of New England are small states. You really want a one off Republican Majority to be able to just smash Hawaiian autonomy and indigenous rights to pieces without any checks or balances?

    This model of the Senate is basically a parliamentary takeover of the role of head of state, only more powerful than the king of england in the sense that it'd be able to invoke the right of veto without instantly causing a constitutional crisis and sparking a revolution.

  • I think the Senate would be fine if it was in charge of a Veto instead of having to also pass the legislation, also if it had a lot more senators to some multiple of 3 at a minimum.

    IE doing nothing is just letting everything pass automatically and that cooling pan shit is something senate leaders have to pursue actively with (qualified) majority support.

    My ideal procedure. House passes a law, Senate vetoes it with a majority meeting or beating the passing margin of the law in the house, but also representing a majority of all americans, house can override the veto by meeting or beating the population margin the senate's Veto represented.

    You may note that there is no president involved in this process. That is because I believe the independent executive is an inherent threat to democracy and that it should be subject to complete erasure and power division to save the republic.

  • It wouldn't do that though, the dems are the "not us" group so the evangelicals have already decided that everything they do is evil.

    Morality by association rather than by actions is a hell of a drug.

  • I still think it was way too on the nose that Homelander got it on with the character that's his biological father in the comics

  • Good thing I tried pegging for the first time tonight then! Ticked that one off the bucket list just in time!
