  • Based on the history, yeah probably.

  • What We Do in the Shadows (2014 Full Movie)

    Jump

  • It's funny, that's basically the point of the show's ending. The characters live in an endless cycle of repeated behavior and nothing ever meaningfully changes for them.

  • 9 mentions in the files: 1 story about someone stealing his watches, 1 matrix joke, 1 mention of 47 Ronin, the rest are duplicates of promotional material for an acting class listing him as a former student.

    Phew, looks like he's clear.

  • Yeah he makes some solid points, it's worth a read. The bomb stuff was just a ploy to get it published, it's not like reading it is going to turn you into a bomber.

  • Yay, another opportunity to share one of my favorite illustrations ever

  • Excellent description

    Jump

  • The explanation I heard from a hockey fan is that it's better to let the guys with knives strapped to their feet have a "legitimate" framework for fights with basic rules, than for them to just get violent with zero framework.

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

    Jump

  • Wrong, it is an amazing film. Nothing bad about it

    The Filthy Rich

  • Everyone is different buddy. Different people respond to different situations differently.

    The Filthy Rich

    Jump

  • They still got to spend time with other kids. You could argue that the labour was a normal childhood.

    The difference is that Jackson was uniquely isolated. He wasn't spending his days with other child performers his age, he was spending it with his older brothers and adults.

    The Filthy Rich

    Jump

  • Jackson was really young when his childhood effectively ended. Five years old. I had a difficult childhood, but I at least got to go to school and have friends and have some modicum of a social life. And even then, I spent most of my college years making up for stages I missed out on in high school.

    It's not that far-fetched to me that he would want to reclaim parts of childhood that he missed out on, and it seems like he also tried to provide that kind of opportunity for other child stars (notably Macaulay Culkin). I'm not saying I'm sold one way or the other, but the notion is definitely understandable.

  • Blue MAGA

    Jump

  • I'm all about a federated commune of communes, seriously, but at scale how is that really much different? You can't have billions of people living on the planet, or hundreds of millions in a country, without some kind of coordination. It's not practical for millions of people to vote on every little detail, you've still got to have focused representatives to, at minimum, collect information into policy that can be voted on in the first place.

    Really the only two options, barring authoritarianism, are direct democracy or some kind of elected representatives. Direct democracy doesn't really work for most considerable topics (agricultural production, electric grid installation, hospital equipment, etc.). Even if people knew enough about the subject to make informed decisions, most people won't bother engaging. So we're inevitably left with some kind of representative democracy, councils don't really eliminate the fact of electing representatives, or the consequences when certain demographics over or underperform at the polls.

  • I do a two part variation:

    What do you call a deer with no eyes?

    !No eye deer ("No idea" with an accent)!<

    What do you call a fish with no eyes?

    !Fsshh!<

  • The reservation truck always fucks me up. The way he hops on the conveyor on his own, as if to say "If it's my time, I'm going to go of my own volition" just punches me with this grave sense of nobility in the face of oblivion.

  • Politics 101

    Jump

  • I'd say more "select from" than "churn out". It's not about generating a hypothesis, it's about having a collection of hypotheses and deciding which should be your default until additional evidence is provided.

    Hanlon's razor says "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity", and "adequately" is pulling at least as much weight as "never". If stupidity becomes a less adequate explanation, nothing stops you from considering malice as an alternative.

    People use things wrong all the time, sometimes the vast majority of the time (e.g. "literally"). Just because people use a concept pseudologically doesn't make it intrinsically pseudological.

  • Politics 101

    Jump

  • 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.
