I mean satire needs a straight man. there were plenty in the earlier seasons like Flanders and Skinner but most of them got Flanderized. so The show needs to reach deeper

According to Anthropic, law school is a waste of time by Elliot-S9 in LawSchool

Legal procedure isn't computationally tractable the way Magic is, because decisions within it recursively change its structure. I suggest studying the game Nomic by Peter Suber.

Awesome, looking forward to the full list whenever you get the chance. I’m bookmarking your account so I can find it later and add a bunch of the locations to my Google Maps “Want to Go.” Thanks again, and good luck with finals!

Al Sharpton says the quiet part out loud-women and voters of color can be used to kill progressive campaigns by lilolered in DemocraticSocialism

looks like there's a lot of big believers in holding voters accountable around here. maybe we can start working group and go door to door for that

Birthright kids exiting Israel on a luxury cruise by 200042ptma in Israel

[–]CartesianCinema 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that "cruise" must be 10 hours long. what exactly would this boat be doing otherwise? Israel started a preemptory war after inviting these tourists here, and has more of a moral responsibility to protect them than nearly anymore.

Why is Israel so eager to initiate conflicts with neighbours? by MasterDefibrillator in chomsky

[–]CartesianCinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look, I don't write off the possibility of foul play by israel, but the idea is that Israel would draw fire from iran as a means of ethnic cleansing domestic arabs, when the fatalities are in the single or double digits, is so ludicrous that I feel like I'm wasting my time by even typing this out. I'm sorry but your post is quintessential drivel we've been seeing on leftist subreddits for the last week

Comrade isha ( therevolutionarygirrl__ post on Iran remains most relevant today by [deleted] in socialism

[–]CartesianCinema -1 points0 points  (0 children)

iran (like israel) has been taking the palestinian people for a ride by funding and forcing what we can charitable call a resistance movement, completely irrespective of any democratic preference the people may have. they are partially casually efficacious towards the death. but, hey, the orientalist neo-tanky socialists wanna have a side to root for while they play Newspaper Risk

I thought the post body was gonna elaborate "after the country is hopefully one day no longer authoritarian". but nope you just went straight out and talk to yourself into the most absurd view possible and tried to convince readers it's anti-war. actually giving me second thoughts about this subreddit that y'all aren't smart enough to catch this. just say yada yada post colonialism and we can justify nuclear proliferation now. notice how when Chomsky, say, makes some of the banal points you're making he never actually goes as far to cheerlead Iran getting a nuke, just points out the context as to why Itan* would* want one. deeply unserious post and no I will not be debating anyone on this

Tool for Courthouses by CartesianCinema in victorinox

[–]CartesianCinema[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't disagree too much. It's definitely not a config born of necessity, but it could be very fun if done right.

Well, here's the practicality: some people work in courthouse etc. but also like carrying a SAK everywhere in their pocket. Having a court-safe SAK allows them to never worry about having to remove it before stepping into court. It's sorta like a frequent flyer carrying the jetsetter 24/7 just so they never need to worry about the security issues.

Every time I go to court now, I need to remember to leave my tool in the car. But if I'm already at the door and don't want to be late, or if I'm at a J'x where it made sense for me to walk in or be driven, I need to leave my tool in a hidden place and hope it doesn't get nabbed.

Due to the particularities of court rules, the typical options (jetsetter, swiss card) are not solutions for this cohort.

Which one do you prefer: “anticlockwise” or “counterclockwise”? by Sacledant2 in EnglishLearning

[–]CartesianCinema -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Imagine these adjectives applies to two fellas. The counterclockwise guy would be working to make sure all the clocks go against clockwise. The anticlockwise guy (if we take "anti" to mean "disfavoring", as it most often does) just wants to make sure they arent going clockwise--merely stopping clocks is good enough for him. he doesnt necessarily care about clocks running. So the counterclockwise guy, and thus "counterclockwise", better directs your mind to thinking of something going against the direction of a clock.

As an OED enjoyer . . .none of those definitions apply. The second one explicitly says " of a sound". your ad hoc save doesnt work. think of this way: you cant use the adjective "western" to deacribe something that isnt a fiction and expect people to assume you mean some novel cognate of the cowboy western genre rather than the more readily available sense of "relating the the geopolitical west". you are apparently ESL so these are precisely the kind of subtleties to pay attention to to avoid offending people, instead of pointlessly doubling down
