The "oral with your sister" / "anal with your father" schism is tearing leftism apart.

Kill Liberalism

Oh my goodness gracious! They're advocating for brutal, unconscionable, violent actions against concepts!

The solution to the problem of anarchism is that you install a single hierarchical governing institution to oversee all the egalitarian collectives, but the senior ranking roles are all occupied by pandas.

Heartwarming: Boy pantomines lumpen piece-work in order to solicit charity from passing wealthy motorists.

Hey Google, tell me about mortality rates during the Great Depression

Population health did not decline and indeed generally improved during the 4 years of the Great Depression, 1930–1933, with mortality decreasing for almost all ages, and life expectancy increasing by several years in males, females, whites, and nonwhites.

Gonna check that citation

Nobody ask what happened between 1933 and 1936, folks.

Folks will shit on Animal Farm night and day, but its crazy that you can read an allegorical depiction of the Holodomor in a children's anti-communist parable from the 1940s that is more accurate than 95% of western straight-laced high school / college history accounts.

Every day that Iran goes unbombed is like a second Holocaust. So you either stand with me in opening a... fifth? front of our Middle Eastern land war, or you're no better than Hitler.

It's a freaking algorithm and they're falling for it like the Mechanical Turk

Most people conceptualize "Artificial Intelligence" as "Machine that Acts Like A Person". In that sense, chatbots and mechanical turks absolutely are artificial intelligence, at least as far as we're concerned. They fit the profile, or at least they're close enough.

Annoying too, given the genuine concerns about these algorithms being used to push artists even further out of their livelihoods.

My aunt loves don't jigsaw puzzles. She brings one to Thanksgiving every year. This year, the Santa-themed art on the puzzle was... bizarre. Images melted into one another. Objects were in odd places - the Christmas tree was in the fireplace, there was a weird chandelier just floating on the ceiling of a log cabin, the feet of one of the toy wooden deer were melted wax - all over the puzzle.

It was the picture of shoddy digitally generated imagery. But it sold just as easily as any of that other kitsch Christian disposables.

Selection bias. Once you start getting laid, you move to the "Fuckbois" corner of the internet and you're not allowed to come back and talk to the incels anymore.
