While I am purposefully misconstruing the two definitions here, there is an argument to be made by this very principle that the post-selection effect on culture yields a convergence of the two

What's cooler than doing a mid bit with awful delivery and immediately explaining it? Trying to spin it into a serious argument by vomiting nonsense jargon.

I don't want to hear a word of complaint about obscurantist poststructuralists from this guy or anyone who likes him.

Smoke a joint to enhance simulation capability

Thanks for that. Really sheds light on the land of contrasts that is San Francisco.

It's easy to forget just how recent the spillover of SV to SF is, and that these tech giants are somehow still viewing themselves as the same scrappy countercultural garage firms they were in the 70s and 80s.

You know what, critical support for replacing all police cars with self-driving ones. With no one inside.

What I'm wondering is when exactly do these people think San Francisco of all places got ruined by progressive politics? Six decades ago it was already the hippie Mecca.

I'm not saying SF is a bastion of radical left or anything, but it's reputation as one of the more progressive cities in the US goes back further than the idea of Silicon Valley, or Bay Area as a high tech hub in general.

Always the same thing with fascists, imagining some mythical prelapsarian past where SF was trad and based and everything was great.

It's not like you don't have plenty of options for more conservative cities to compare. But if any of this was based in facts, rightoids wouldn't need to play pretend with these bizarre descriptions of cities like Portland or Stockholm as blazing warzones.

If you can imagine me so closely, what number am I thinking of?

Okay fine, yes, it's 69, but that was just a fluke. Doesn't count.

I am simulating infinite copies of myself. For efficiency of implementation, each copy occupies the same physical and logical space. Unfortunately the risk of some of you getting a speck of dust in my eye – thus causing infinite harm – is nonzero, so please prepare to be omnicided. Apologies for the inconvenience.

"Confiscatory taxes" as opposed to what? Voluntary ones? Just say you don't like taxes as if we couldn't guess already.

To be fair allosauruses went extinct 80 million years earlier so who's really oppressed?

Ohh, I thought he meant one thing but actually he meant the same thing I thought he did and not the even worse thing I expected he might actually think instead.

oh hello there Performative Allistic Twitter

As if it wouldn't have cost you $0 not to post this.

Yea I don't like it either. I get that it's supposed to ve a reference to his talking of Americans in first person even though he's not, and suggest that his rights are ignored because he's not American. But even with that context it comes across as "haha this guy is intellectually disabled and foreign".

IMC is not mentally disabled. He's a malicious piece of shit fascist.
