  • But razors aren't supposed to be logic in the first place. They're not objective analytical tools to arrive at a conclusion, because they weren't designed to be. They're framing tools to help establish an initial hypothesis.

    Occam's razor doesn't claim that the simplest explanation is true, it merely says it's the most practical assumption, all else being equal. If additional data provides more support for a more complicated explanation, Occam's really doesn't require you to cling to the simpler one.

    Similarly Hanlon's razor doesn't claim that stupidity is universally a better explanation than malice, only that is the most practical assumption, all else being equal. It does not require you to ignore patterns of behavior that shift the likelihood toward malice.

  • I mean sure, but my point is that he's a sellout, not MAGA. He didn't defend Trump, he defended his bag. It's still bad but it's not the same thing.

    Then again, fuck, how many songs/skits do they have centered around breaking up? I wouldn't be totally surprised if they spin this into a reunion thing after the heat dies. I can visualize the conversation like the show never ended:

    "Dude, Kage, you know I love you. But that was some provocative shit you just said, and I don't disagree. But I am on the line for tens of millions, with an M, contractually obligated US dollars. Dinero, Rage. Let's just take a little breaky-poo, circle back after pay day, and use all that cash to double down on the righteousness. I'm gonna need you to take the heat, but it's all gonna pay off in the end. We can't lose! Two Kings?"

    Maybe it's just cope, but the recurring theme of betrayal indicates to me that either it was always an abusive relationship, or that the treachery is at least potentially performative.

  • What's the modern day equal of "Be Kind, Rewind"?

    Jump

  • Yeah, "next time don't miss", I'm familiar with the event. My point is it seems way more likely that the motivation there was "Publicly calling for the assassination of the president of the United States will probably make the major studios who pay me millions of dollars less likely to continue doing that." and not "I support trump and didn't think he should be assassinated".

  • No rush, honey

    Jump

  • I also tend to look for a thicker cut, since you can cook it more gradually to develop a good texture throughout without overcooking, and still develop a good crust.

  • What's the modern day equal of "Be Kind, Rewind"?

    Jump

  • Is he? I figured he just sold out and didn't want to jeopardize any of his contracts due to calls for political violence. Still disappointing, but I haven't seen any evidence that he's actually a Trumper.

  • Anyone here think smartphones and tech like that kinda peaked in 2019 arnd that time?

    Jump

  • The square has grown on me. Works just fine for reading documents, photos and videos aren't terrible with the bars, and if I really want to I can zoom in to fit the vertical since most of the action is in the middle anyway. One pleasant surprise is that old media in 4:3 actually looks better than on a rectangle.

  • When someone's telling you something in great detail that you already know about, do you: A) patiently listen and let them finish?

    Jump

  • Somewhere between B and C. If I know more about a subject, I can usually tell pretty quickly. I'll try to engage early on with a "yes and" kind of response that completes their latest point and demonstrates knowledge of what they were going to go on to say. I'll try not to be condescending, and present my thoughts as enthusiastic dialogue.

  • one is not more true than the other because both are just philosophical ideas.

    I think I disagree. One is a basically untestable hypothesis, the other is pretty much the closest we can come to objective truth.

    Should I be trying to leave the USA before it's too late?

    Jump

  • As an American-born white male, I'm staying. If all the sane people flee the country, what does that leave behind? A bunch of right wing whack jobs with the biggest military in the world. You think our domestic problems are going to stay domestic? If we don't stay and stand up to this, it's going to spread worldwide anyway.

    Not saying to not get your ducks in a row just in case, but I don't think running is going to save you for very long. If there's going to be a civil war, I'd rather our side actually have soldiers.

  • Hyper independence

    Jump

  • Yes.

  • Hyper independence

    Jump

  • I don't really worry about abandonment at all. If anything, I'd be more worried about the opposite. People like me, and want to hang out with me, and I do not have the time, energy, or desire to hang out with most people. I've had more than my fair share of clingy, dependent "friends", and I'm not a fan. Hyper-independent aloofness has definitely spared me many additions to that unfortunate list.

    I don't disagree that it's a trauma response, but not always to abandonment (I wish), but often necessity. When you have to do everything, you learn how to do everything, and eventually there's not much left to rely on other people for.
