Cool, I feel the same way about them.

Fun fact, the moral permissibility of abortion has far and away the most consensus among philosophers. Literally philosophers are more confident that abortion should be permissible than that the external world exists.

As such, you can use opinions on abortion as a litmus test for sociopathic tendency since it’s such an easy moral question. In doing so, however, you’d be confronting the fact that 30% of Americans are moral black holes from whom no rational opinion can be extracted. In that context, slavery, misogyny, religion, and all the evils of humanity suddenly make sense.

“Wisdom” in this case meaning the prejudices accumulated over a lifetime? According to research, an average septuagenarian is more narcissistic, less literate, more bigoted, and less intelligent than the average teenager. Sometimes by multiple standard deviations. (I can provide sources).

Couple the Flynn effect with lead poisoning and you have a gap of almost 30 IQ points in some areas of the country.

By the way, have you ever seen an old person’s brain in an MRI? It’s missing like 20% of its volume.

Daily reminder that the average 15 year old is smarter than the average 70 year old by literally any psychometric standard.

No autosave without OneDrive. The solution proposed on MS forums is to “get in the habit” of hitting the shortcut for manual save. I’m not kidding.

Remember everyone, this merger was good for consumers. That’s why it was ok-ed by regulators and the courts (and for no other reason). Venal, unelected septuagenarians have your best interest in mind.

Also, Microsoft is famous for giving consumers what they want. For instance, Microsoft Word has no autosave function because consumers don’t want to save their word documents. (If they did, they would buy OneDrive, which is the only way to autosave on a word processing app that costs money.) I mean, just look at Windows. It’s a steaming pile of garbage because that’s the aesthetic that users know and love! If they didn’t love it, why would they keep buying it? Checkmate, naysayers.

Anyway, that’s why all of gaming will soon be pay-to-win mobile games. The end.

Yes, who can forget the famous Babylonian mountains of plastic, or the chemical spills of 300BC. Ancient Greece was never the same after that.

This is the truest of memes.

What is the Palestinian version of events? If you just state the facts and nothing else, Israel looks positively villainous. And that’s before editorializing.

That’s one of the main reasons that the US is classified as a flawed democracy. A vote in California has something like 1/200th the influence on federal policy as a vote in Wyoming or Alaska.

“The Senate was designed, as part of the separation of powers, to check the impulses of the House and the popular will.”(1)

Reddit would ban you for that comment, despite the fact that it’s literally true.

If you’re getting your news from TikTok you’re as fucked in the head as any lead-addled boomer.

I haven’t seen antisemitic comments anywhere, but maybe they just get deleted.

Unless you think being anti-Israel is antisemitic? But if that were so, being anti-Russia would be anti-christian and being anti-Saudi would be Islamophobic, etc. I don’t think so. Some nation states are horrible and the only logical response is to be “against them” in their current configuration. (For example, since only 8% of the world’s countries are full democracies, you can assume I’m against the others.) If Saudi or Israel changed their ways, then I would be “for them” whatever that means. Keep in mind, countries are made up nonsense anyway, so we can only criticize their organization and administration.

Lastly, religion is a hideous evil. Perhaps this accurate observation itself is considered somehow antisemitic. Not sure.
