I hate it when I go to full screen and one of my (100s of) tabs has a youtube short that thinks “Oh, time to start playing again!”

Now I’ll have paused tabs start making noise and I won’t be able to find it until the ad is over.

The daily show put it best: Maybe Trump should put a WALL around his golf course if he wants to be safe.

For those of you mentioning slavery … how do you do slavery while in indefinite lockdown? Doesn’t that keep you isolated in a cell with no contact or material going through the bars besides food delivered by one silent guard?

I feel like there should just be an organization of countries that are not Israel or on the UN security counsel. The United Small Nations. Then they could just do things without everything they propose getting vetoed.

JD: But Germany banned the Nazi symbol! One of the few free speech things I care about!

I like to tell my physics students this story. A man made a perpetual motion device, and dared the community to disprove him. After several had tried and failed, a physics professor looked at the layout of the device. In the center was a permanent magnet. He took reading of the magnetic field strength of the magnet, ran the machine for a day, and then measured the field strength a second time. The permanent magnet was being demagnetized by it’s operation. What the man had done was turned the magnet into a limited fuel source.

This was fine and didn’t violate any conservation laws: the energy for the device was originally from the magnetization process that created the magnet. It actually was quite cleaver. One could just chuck a new magnet in every once and a while and the machine would keep running. The fuel source was also quite small. But, all things must be practical and efficient if they are to be industrally implemented. The process of creating permanent magnets is quite wasteful. The amount of gas needed to generate an electromagnet strong enough to create the permanent magnet was actually more than the gas needed to produce the movement from the perpetual motion device.

Though disproven, the professor said that this was on the right track. “Instead of magnetic storage, while not use electric storage devices like super-capacitors? They are much more efficient, both because they have much less loss in creating them, and because the efficiency of electric generators increases with size - and we have a very efficient electric distribution system that connects us to giant generators already installed in every home.” Soon after, electric cars became a thing.

Now AI free!

Upon hearing he had a chance, Rep. Colin Allred released a statement saying he would take away all Texan’s guns. “That work so well for Beto last time around, I’m sure it will push those on the fence to support me!” he said as every top campaign manager rushed to tackle him to the ground yelling “not on the record, shut up Colin!”

Trump can’t accept his poor debate. So he’s spiraled into continued with conspiracy theories.

Googling Xi Jinping age: 71

Someone must have said he was 10 years over the age of retirement.

Is this the program that open source people use to install all the random depencies that their program needs to work? The one that people tell me to use when I complain about git bash pico sudo pytorch Install commands?

Or did another company copy their name?

At what point does George W Bush endorse Harris?

Jamecia backs New Zeland-Madagascar peace plan for Ukraine! Who cares!

but I feel most people know exactly who they’re voting for already

The cross-section of people you know are more politically off the fence than the entire nation. Those that aren’t online at all are also more undecided and less likely to interact with you.

Also: Algorithmic generated feeds where you try to click on one thing, but you click on the next thing in the list and when you click back, the feed looks completely different because it has new information on you. That thing you wanted to click on is gone and will never return.

Republicans: “This abortion ammendment will allow for child sex change operations.”

Petition filers:“No it won’t, it is just make abortion legal again.”

Limbaugh: “Because you didn’t include the fact that toddlers now can request sex changes, and the changes to the relevant statues that prohibited that, I rule your signature gathering was misleading and I am kicking it off the ballot one day before they start printing them.”

Petition filers:“WTF, state supreme court! Limbaugh is treating his crazy delusions as legal fact again!”

I finally understand Trump supporters “Fuck it, burn it all to the ground cause we can’t win” POV. Only instead of democracy, it is copyright and instead of Trump, it is AI.

Always Preparing, Just GO!

That fact that it could be a simulation hints at the fact that there is an underlying set of rules that could be used to generate that simulation. Those underlying set of rules could also be considered the most fundamental laws that govern the universe.

I didn’t skip it. If you are going to use a tool, use it right. “Study shows using the larger plastic end of screwdriver makes it harder to turn screws than just using fingers to twist them. Researchers caution against using screwdriver to turn screws.”
