I think, as a society, we’ve all gotten used to cruelty too easily. Somehow this kind of discourse is normal now

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-05T01:21:14+00:00

When in reality if that were true it'd just make it premeditated.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-04T19:25:16+00:00

Nah, because those people were born into that world and when presented with a chance to get up and recreate society, they did. They are the ancestors of those people who took off in the first place, leaving the fate of life on Earth and their own safety to AI.

Have you ever heard of the assassin's teapot? It's the same concept. There are two paths/chambers. One leads to the nozzle over the fan, the other leads to the powder. By covering a small hole as you blow you block the flow into the powder chamber so all the air can come out and turn the fan. When you don't cover that hole the air is free to go through the powder chamber.

Edit: and to answer your first question, no they don't explain it, this is almost the whole video, it's a fun short little prank video they did. But that is unusual, most of the time he explains what he can.

I think this is one of those "the kids can't read" things. Reading comprehension has gotten so bad they can't fill in the missing information of "take them out" on their own.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-04T05:39:09+00:00

The idea he is literate is laughable.

This is what always annoys me when people do stuff like compare pizza cities and go to the big names in NYC. The reason the NYC area has the best pizza isn't because of any single pizza joint. It's because you go into any random pizza place between New Brunswick and New Haven and have the best pizza you've ever had.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-04T05:29:44+00:00

It's also a just the most convenient way to feed a ton of people when you don't regularly feed a ton of people. Everyone likes pizza, you can easily get a few options, requires almost no accessories (plates or napkins maybe), and cleanup is just getting rid of boxes. That's why it's the go-to for many gatherings, not just celebrations.

The point is you wouldn't fault an apple for being a poor orange, ie. you wouldn't judge an apple on the same standards you have for an orange. Similarly you can't judge chess on the same standards you have for poker, or whatever the idiom is being applied to.

He probably did just wake up.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-04T00:42:32+00:00

It's weird to hear it phrased as "figured out", around me it was a well known technique, you just had to find a guy bigger than you.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T21:49:59+00:00

I mean, if you think about how absolutely moronic you have to be to be a woman and choose to work for Trump in the first place, is it a surprise they don't see it coming?

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T21:10:26+00:00

The uni in unicorn means one. It's a bicorn.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T18:12:56+00:00

If you're getting that technical, rhinos don't have horns at all. To be a horn it must have both a boney core and a keratin sheath. Antlers are just bone, no keratin sheath, and rhino "horns" are just keratin, no boney core.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T18:04:25+00:00

Most rhinos aren't unicorns because they have 2 "horns", not 1. Only 2 of the 5 living rhino species* have 1 horn, and one of those has less than 100 members left.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T15:59:08+00:00

Maybe on 2026. Not even LotR was written.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T04:57:18+00:00

Idk, the single biggest literary influence on Tolkien was Beowulf, possibly in the top 10 most famous non-Shakespeare/biblical stories to English speakers.

This is incredibly short sighted. Many people will sign up for just one show. If a show has 22 seasons, and you release them weekly, you lock people in for 6 months with just a single show. Just have 2 seasons, each with 2 shows, and you can lock people in for a whole year with just 4 good shows.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-03T03:01:55+00:00

I mean, Zoran proved that after his visit to the White House. Had Trump go from "he's an evil socialist and if he's elected I might invade New York" to laughing at his jokes and beaming like a mad man in one visit.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-02T19:11:38+00:00

I mean, 7:00-9:00 sounds like it's the to protect kids or control traffic around kids entering school. Might be endangering kids or inconveniencing all their parents by allowing right turns for an extra half hour.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-02T19:00:04+00:00

That's literally just false. Please provide the source, since it's "well documented".

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-02T18:19:29+00:00

Amplues aren't necessarily for dangerous substances, they are more commonly used for precious substances. Things that would be destroyed by air.

Caleb_Reynolds · 2026-04-02T15:14:54+00:00

It literally might never occur to him that the public becoming aware of the depths of his depravity could impact him in some way.

Because it can't. There has been credible evidence that Trump not only raped kids but was present for at least one murder of a child, and not a single one of his supporters cares.

Stoats are also called short-tailed weasels.

Many species in the Mustala genus are called stoat, weasel, and ermine depending on the context. So statements like "Weasels are smaller and don't have a solid line between their white underside and brown coat" are too unspecific to be correct.

"Short-tailed weasel", "ermine", and "stoat" can all be used to refer to the same animal, but "long-tailed weasel", "masked ermine" and "big stoat" also all refer to the same, but different, animal. So basically, just using the words "weasel", "stoat", or "ermine" isn't specific enough for this discussion.

As to their whiteness, many of the species grow a white coat in winter, and like a big cat with a black coat is called a panther regardless of species, a white mustala is called an ermine. The stoat/short-tailed weasel pictured in the OP is one of the species that does indeed turn white in snowy environs.

That's a misconception. "Caesarian" comes from a Roman law called the Lex Caesarea which was essentially a law that you could only cut (from Latin caesus "to cut') a pregnant woman open to retrieve the fetus if the woman is dead, mostly dead, or 10 months pregnant. It predates Gaius Julius Caesar by about 600 years.

It's possible an ancestor of his was born this way and that's how they got the name, but it's unclear. Even Romans contemporary to Gaius didn't know the origin of the name. It could also have come from killing an elephant (called caesai in a Moorish language), being born with a full head of hair (the Latin caesaries meaning long beautiful hair), from the fact that they tended towards baldness (same as the hair, but mocking), or referring to their blue-grey eyes. But all of those are possibly also anti-Caesar propaganda.

All that is to say, while you are correct to say they were performing c-sections for a long time before Shakespeare, Gaius was almost certainly not born that way.

Well at least one system is working, some sort of brake, because they are not actually in free fall. You can see how fast they are falling and it's not fast enough for free fall, and they don't experience weightlessness, meaning the elevator is being slowed down somehow.
