once again reminded how the designer of the furby sincerely believes they are alive radiolab.org/podcast/more...

CALEB CHUNG: Well, I have to ask you, when is something alive? Furby can remember these events, they affect what he does going forward, and it changes his personality over time. He has all the attributes of fear or of happiness, and those are things that add up and change and change his behavior and how he interacts with the world. So how is that different than us?

JAD: Wait a second, though. Are you really gonna go all the way there?

CALEB CHUNG: Absolutely.

JAD: This is a toy with servo motors and things that move its eyelids and a hundred words.

CALEB CHUNG: So you're saying that life is a level of complexity. If something is alive, it's just more complex.

JAD: I think I'm saying that life is driven by the need to be alive, and by these base primal animal feelings like pain and suffering.

CALEB CHUNG: I can code that. I can code that.

Full color Sunday calvin could do it. He's got the skulls and equipment. He has air superiority. But weekday Calvin? He hates mondays. Because they kill him.

A fairly conservative friend of mine and I were talking about one policy we would pass to improve the lives of men. Hands down, banning sports betting. Surprised leftists and religious conservatives don't unite on this one.

I do think tying Congress up for 2 full years for serial impeachments of the president and his cabinet is a *good* use of time. If the Senate doesn't like it they can vote to convict and it'll end.

Everytime I go back to 4chan to rummage around for 40k rumors it's an increasingly short countdown to when I'll be exasperated by something that's too much to mentally deal with but this was the first time I any % speedrun to "instantly closed the tab"

/tg/ traditional games board on 4chan. Center of frame is an AI ad with a crying plasticy baby in The Contraption next to AI crying woman (idk why she's crying, it has nothing to do with the topic) next to some guy who I think is an author of the book being advertised. It is captioned:

"CIRCUMCISION IS WORSE THAN RAPE > BUY MY BOOK ON AMAZON PLEASE DIDION CONSENTINO"

there's another aspect to all this: audiences—after a while, maybe even subconsciously—respect you less when they realize you're just giving them what they want. i think a result of many years on the algorithmic internet is a lot of ppl are exhausted of having themselves mirrored back all the time

Fox News thinks liberal means "leftist" and certain leftists think liberal means "cynical moderate". In both cases, they're probably visualizing Hillary Clinton

I went outside with bestie last night while she smoked a cigarette, and I heard a little peep before feeling something fuzzy rub against my leg. Naturally I started petting what I assumed was a stray cat and it took me a minute to realize I was petting a fucking possum. Yes, we hollered and ran.

For me, as a socialist and an Eastern European, March 11 is the day of the liberation of my people from a foreign oppressor we neither wanted nor deserved. The only road to socialism I am willing to walk has it as a milestone. If I am asked to reject it, I am out, full stop.

It's not possible to separate one's views on modern Russia from one's views on the USSR because in many ways they are in fact indeed still the same thing. You cannot understand why Ukraine wants to leave their orbit if you cannot understand what they did to us.

You fundamentally struggle to internalise that in fact, in those years, the neolibs and the anticommunists were right: that system had to be destroyed with fire and sword, that the events of those years were a good for humanity. Which you /need/ to grasp. Now.

Today I found out that Umberto Eco crafted a version of this meme in the 1980s…

Beware the
alibi of photocopies ! Photocopies are indis-
pensable instruments. They allow you to keep with you a text you have already read in the library, and to take home a text you have not read yet. But a set of photocopies can become an alibi. A student makes hundreds of pages of photocopies and takes them home, and the manual labor he exercises in doing so gives him the impression that he possesses the work. Owning the photocopies exempts the student from actually reading them. This sort of vertigo of accumulation, a neocapitalism of information, happens to many. Defend yourself from this trap: as soon as you have the photocopy, read it and annotate it immediately. If you are not in a great hurry, do not photocopy something new before you own (that is, before you have read and annotated) the previous set of photocopies. There are many things that I do not know because I photocopied a text and then relaxed as if I had read it.

How much overlap is there between being a klingon and like, being a warhammer or lotr dwarf in your opinion. Or is it more orc energy? How the fuck does any one use a baatleth or whatever that weird sword is called? This is a topic of substantial interest to me

Gotta say far from perfect but im a million times happier with it than i would be with the American system. For one we had a baby and only had to pay about $80 for parking the two days. My mothers cancer was caught by her GP and removed and treated in weeks with zero cost.
