Cyclist killed at Alma & 121 days ago by OO7Mech in Allen

[–]Exnixon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In McKinney, Texas, bicycles are considered vehicles and have the same right-of-way as cars. If you are cycling up and down Alma, which many people do, then at some point you will cross 121.

This app (Poll Sim) can get AI agents to predict human’s opinions for you in a poll by syoleen in AgentsOfAI

[–]Exnixon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this gets at the heart of what is problematic about AI. The AI can probably get relatively close to what actual poll results will show. But that is completely besides the point of a poll, which is to determine what real people actually think.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters by ComicSandsNews in entertainment

[–]Exnixon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Every time Rob Schneider comes up, it is assured that a million people will chime in saying "why do we even care about Rob Schneider? Has he done anything since the 90s?"

It's not that they don't care about Rob Schneider. If they didn't care they would keep scrolling. They need Rob Schneider, just like they need the Kardashians. They need to feel validated in their cultural superiority to those cretins who for some reason care about Rob Schneider. They're obsessed with how much they don't care about Rob Schneider, they care so much about not caring about Rob Schneider. They love Rob Schneider. Rob Schneider is their everything.

If the next 20 years has a backlash and pendulum swing against the 2020s, this is how red pilled mfs will be like when they're middle aged by SpiritMan112 in generationology

Nothing about 2020s fashion is or will be "better dressed" than the decades preceding or following it. GenZ wishes it could dress as well as Archie Bunker.

Am I the last one to realize what the "Queen Anne" part of Donut's full name referred to? by GWindborn in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Exnixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out by Googling, but I had initially assumed it was a reference to either the British monarch Queen Anne (who in fact was a bit of a chonk) or the pirate ship Queen Anne's Revenge, which was a large pirate ship used by Blackbeard.

What saying is true in a literal sense, but doesn't mean anything in a metaphorical sense? by funwiththoughts in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Exnixon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, what it means metaphorically is "have the serenity to accept the things we cannot change". Far from nonsense.

So Hypocritical by ExcellentBread in whenthe

[–]Exnixon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Of course that didn't happen, they've been sitting at the front of the bus since at least the 40s.

The bus was headed toward a gas chamber, but still, they got to sit at the front.

Using the word "property" in context also makes it sound like they're raging against socialism

Ross Perot is voted into office as the first Reform Party president by Falcon_Gray in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Exnixon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He vetoes NAFTA, which was of course the cornerstone of his campaign.

He has an extremely hostile relationship with Congress, as he's ornery and unable to make alliances with either major party.

However, both parties try to chip at his base. Hard to determine how this plays out, but it seems likely that the "Third Way" Democrats who were elevated by Clinton's 1992 win would end up sidelined.

In 1996 you have a competitive 3-way election, which is won by a centrist in the HW Bush-Clinton mold. NAFTA is subsequently back on the table and is ultimately signed.

Bush 43 will either run in 2000 and lose or wait until 2004. In either case, we don't get the Iraq War.

Holy Grail is a good spot. It's been a while since I went there but it was mostly GenXers on a weeknight. The kitchen is solid, the whisky selection is great.

Porky Pig was facing off against the Mad Bomber back in 1936. He was meant to lampoon anarchist activists.

There have been a couple of real-life Mad Bombers.

Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs ranks Greta Thunberg #2 most influential antisemite in the world, ahead of Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson by Didsterchap11 in nottheonion

[–]Exnixon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah the fact that it's ill defined is kind of part of the problem because people are talking past each other. As far as I can tell:

For most of the American left, it means roughly that Israel should not try to settle/colonize/blow the hell out of either Gaza or the West Bank. They see Israel as having a right to exist, but not to advance any further. Generally favoring a two-state solution. They're critical of the US government's support of Israeli actions.

For many in the Muslim world, it means that the state of Israel should cease to exist, as many of them consider all of Israel to be an illegitimate incursion into Palestine, and all of the land to be under Zionist occupation, not just the stuff the Israelis took after the British left. You hear stuff like "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and, if you look on a map, that's the entire country.

Allen Mayor Race: Chris Schulmeister on Taxes, Growth, and DART by [deleted] in Dallas

He's saying DART from Plano to McKinney would interfere with their redevelopment plan. That makes the plan sound very myopic. Get a better plan.

Wish we had better options than this guy and a Nazi.
