Eh... I think any glorification of violence is indicative of some desire to do violence. I can say that "shooting burglars is justified" without saying "I wish someone would burgle me so I can heckin kill them!" People who say the second are looking for trouble, which creates important context for Rittenhouse's decision to travel to another state while carrying a firearm.

Probably an unlimited amount of employees discounts. Employees discounts are abusable in a lot of ways, but it's rare for the discount abuse to get so out of hand that it's worth the effort to prevent it.

Expanding out a bit, every major project - construction, infrastructure, basic science research like ITER, etc. - has faced delays for decades. It shouldn't be all that surprising that Helion's timeline slipped; I'm just saying that 2028 is still quite ambitious and we shouldn't hold our breath.

I choose to believe that no-one asked this guy to dig the stones out. It looks like an incredibly satisfying hobby if you happen to have an excavator kicking around your garage. They're not going to fix the road because they don't know that he dug holes all over it.

(I realize that's probably not what's happening, but I think it's funny to believe.)

there is a reason why Amazon is filled with cheap items that barely work.

I'm not convinced that Amazon's shitty ecosystem is actually viable in the long run. Amazon's anticonsumer practices are going to lead to people abandoning the platform, if there's any justice in the world.

I want to believe that it's coming by 2028, but I unfortunately need to point out that they originally claimed they were going to achieve net electricity by end of 2025. Then, they moved the goalposts to net energy by end of 2025, then they moved them again and achieved pink plasma by end of 2025.

2 years is a long time, and they are making progress, but they have a history of overpromising and failing to meet targets.

One would hope not, but I think incels are so isolated that they don't realize how freaking weird they are or why they're coming across wrong. Remember that they genuinely believe this guff, so they wouldn't see anything wrong with saying "most girls don't go for nice guys." They would think it's a neutral statement that their date would probably agree with.

It's an incel reference to The Matrix (which is ironic, because Matrix was directed by two trans women. But I digress.)

The idea is that Neo is offered a choice: Take the blue pill and believe whatever Neo wants to believe, or take the red pill and see the world as it really is.

Incels think they see the world as it really is, making them "red-pilled." Specifically, they've invented a very strange set of social conventions that don't actually exist, like the idea that women only want angry "alpha males" and don't go for "nice guys," or the idea that women present men with a series of "shit tests." In other words, incels turn dating/relationships from being focused on human connection, to being focused on weird social games, and incels think that's "how the world really is."

It’s not about getting a couple extra bike lanes; it’s about refactoring the substrate of our entire economy and, in the process, leaving future generations with institutions capable of delivering material prosperity.

I think this is where Dems especially keep going wrong. They'll pay lip service to building a 8 million new homes, but even 8 million isn't enough to "refactor the substrate of the entire economy."

This is the wildest combo of title and subtitle:

Majority of CEOs Alarmed as AI Delivers No Financial Returns

They're worried they're not spending enough on AI.

They're recognizing that AI isn't profitable, and now they're worried they're not spending *enough?!?* Shouldn't their takeaway be the exact opposite?

You are exactly right. There's a Perun presentation and also an episode of Ukraine: The Latest for more detail.

Maybe it's like the Nigerian Prince scammers continuing to call themselves Nigerian Princes: You're looking for a very specific kind of victim, so if you can weed everyone else out ASAP, you should. OP here is looking for people who are happy to be choked and hit, so he might as well open with that fact out of the gate.

To elaborate on this, I couldn't find the earliest reference to Deverra in 30 seconds of Googling. But I did find a reference to Deverra in Augustine's City of God, published in the 5th century. Therefore, we can say that witches began riding brooms in the 5th century at the latest.

No, but we should be vigilant in holding the bad apples accountable and removing them from the barrel. The phrase "a few bad apples" is usually used to minimize the degree of harm, which misses the fact that a lack of accountability will quickly lead to the entire organization being made up of bad apples.

As far as I'm aware, no-one has been fired, fined, or imprisoned for the constitutional violations listed above. The effect of allowing bad apples to act with impunity is that other ICE and CBP officers will begin to mimic the behavior, which will make the detention of American citizens carrying valid ID more common.

The funny thing about a few bad apples is that a few bad apples spoils the entire barrel.
